Our home is one that we converted from a single story ranch into a two-story Cape Cod/Craftsman home. We added a sun room, guest house, and golf cart shed. I say this because over the past 14 years since we bought the house, we have dealt with nearly a dozen contractors for the work. We were usually dissatisfied with those contractors for either failing to show up on time for work, inferior work, unfinished work, poor quality of some of the work, and generally an unreliable arrangement for getting the work done.
Our experience this time, with John Henson and Southern Coast Improvements could not have been any different from the others. The difference started immediately after contacting John through Angie's List. He arrived exactly at the time he said he would to do the estimate. He was personable, informative, and easy to talk to. He provided the estimate within a few days and we accepted his proposal. The work began on the exact date and time we set up with him.
Members of his team arrived on time and we met Norman and "Little" Kevin who both turned out to be not only friendly and personable, but extremely talented in workmanship. Norman takes incredible pride in his work and worked well with us as we discussed various adjustments to the work as we went along. Norman is such a nice man and so talented in his job. The laundry enclosure that he built is of the finest quality you could hope for and even though it is an addition to our home, it looks like it belonged there all along. Little Kevin worked well with Norman and the two of them almost felt like family members at the end of the project.
The shower remodel was also done extremely well and a third member of John's team, David, appeared on time to tile the shower exactly at the time set up. After Norman completed installing the backer board and laid the shower floor and sealed the walls, David did the tile work. We never saw David take a break over two full days, the first day working til 8:30 pm. So efficient and he did beautiful tile work. The shower looks amazing!
I could go on and on talking about what an enjoyable experience working with John and his team was, but suffice to say that I wholeheartedly recommend Southern Coast Improvements for your next project. After so many disappointing experiences with past contractors, we could not be any happier with John's work with us. We have already talked with John about our next projects and hope to have that scheduled before long. Don't delay - call John today - you will not be disappointed with any aspect of the experience.
"[Member name removed], You haven't even asked me to take are of this problem. We talked about getting additional work done but we haven't been able to get together when you are in town. If you would like for me to meet you and review these items I will be more than happy to get together with you. John"
I called John on Monday, he just so happen to be in the area, him and Norm stopped by about 10 min. later and took a look at our ceiling (there had been a water leak from the upstairs condo). John gave me a very reasonable estimate then told me his drywall guy "Ray" would be calling me. Ray called the next morning told me he could fix it Thursday and he did just that! Ray did a amazing job our ceiling it looks like it did before the water damage! I will use Southern Coast Improvements for all of our future repairs or if we remodel. Thank you!!

I then asked John to put in the vent work for my range hood, it was done within days.
The week before Christmas and my kitchen still not completed, I called John again to see if he would do the backsplash for me. He said he couldn't promise me it would be completed fully before Christmas but I asked him to do it anyway. Himself and another worker Berry arrived on Monday Dec 22 and had the job completed, grouted and all by Christmas eve morning.
I can't say enough good things about John and his workers. I will say this and I told him so, he is the ONLY person that started work and finished it when he said he would. I moved to MB in September and have had a lot of work done to my house, John is by far the most professional. I will be using him again, I have a long list!
"[member name removed], Please call me to discuss how we can help get this resolved. I did not know there was a problem or we would have been over to make things satisfactory. 843-421-9255 John"
Ray has mad drywall skills. We'd actually hung the drywall ourselves as enthusiastic but clueless DIYers. He did such a beautiful job with mudding and taping that you can't tell we did part one. He made our amateur handiwork actually look good! Not only that, but even though the job we contracted for is done, he left us his number and asked us to call once the wall was primed (I guess some issues pop up to visibility once the wall is painted).
It's been a very good experience and I recommend their services.
