"I have been working with contractors since the year 2000 and this was the first time I have enjoyed working with a contractor. He was professional, honest, helpful, trustworthy, responsive, and made sure all of our concerns were considered and explained until we were satisfied. He was very personable and had great customer service skills - it actually felt like working with an old friend, but even better. If I had any other projects, I would not hesitate to contact Al R. from Vicars!!!"

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

A frequent mistake during home building is underestimating site preparation on hilly, wooded terrain. Homeowners overlook hidden rock ledges or fail to test expansive clay soils before foundation work. Another major error involves poor drainage planning, which causes severe moisture problems. Always secure proper permits and verify local setback requirements before starting construction on any SC property.

Helpful?

Watch out for professionals who provide quotes without visiting your site. In SC, variable terrain, hidden rock, and complex drainage require in-person assessments. Be wary of contractors who ignore required permits, lack proof of liability insurance, or demand massive upfront deposits. A reliable professional will always provide a detailed written contract covering the entire scope of your home building.

Helpful?

Existing structures and terrain heavily dictate your home building options. An aging septic system or poorly placed well restricts where you place new additions. On hilly Pickens lots, steep slopes and mature tree roots determine foundation placement and grading requirements. Address any existing crawl space moisture damage or poor drainage channels immediately to protect your new construction from future failures.

Helpful?

Topographic surveys and soil tests provide crucial details for home building. Because Pickens features hilly terrain and variable clay soils, slope and drainage patterns dictate your foundation design. You also need to confirm septic system capacity, well placement, and utility access. Always verify zoning classifications, flood zone designations, and recorded easements to ensure your design legally fits the property.

Helpful?

When planning home building, prioritize moisture management and soil adaptability. Pickens experiences heavy rainfall and high humidity, making vapor barriers, crawl space encapsulation, and moisture-resistant framing essential. You must also select foundation systems designed for expansive Piedmont clay. Finally, choose roofing materials capable of withstanding intense summer UV rays alongside occasional winter ice and snow in the foothills.
