"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"Due to weather the job was started slightly after the original date and we had interruptions that were weather related. The weather is always a factor on an outside job and flexibility needs to be understood. Steve and anyone we have ever dealt with through his company have been extremely polite and accommodating. We have actually hired Nexgen for more jobs since the original and would do so again. The quality is outstanding and Steve's knowledge and willingness to work with us and help us with our vision was something no one else could do. This is not a cookie-cutter operation. Steve listened and offered options which included ideas we were not even aware of. Great contractor to do business with.

Home Building questions, answered by experts

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.

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?

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?

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.
