Can I live in my home during a renovation?

How do you handle unexpected issues during a remodel?

When unexpected conditions are discovered, Southeastern Renovation stops work and documents the issue with photos, discusses solutions including options and cost impacts, provides a change order for approval before proceeding, and adjusts the timeline if needed. With cost-plus pricing, homeowners only pay actual costs for any additional work required.

Do you offer financing options for home renovations?

Southeastern Renovation does not offer in-house financing but works with several third-party lenders who specialize in home improvement loans. Options include HELOCs, home equity loans, personal loans, and contractor financing programs.

What should I expect during the remodeling process?

The remodeling process includes an initial consultation, design and estimate with line-item costs, pre-construction with permits and scheduling, construction with daily floor protection and weekly client meetings, and a final walkthrough with punch list completion.

Can you work with my insurance company on a damage claim?

Yes. Southeastern Renovation has experience working with homeowner insurance on water damage claims, storm damage repairs, and other covered losses. The process includes documenting damage, providing detailed estimates using insurance industry-standard pricing, and communicating directly with adjusters.

What makes Southeastern Renovation different from other Charleston contractors?

Five key differentiators: Licensed and insured under SC license CLG.127339, transparent cost-plus pricing with no hidden fees, employee crews rather than day laborers, local expertise including Daniel Island HOA requirements and Mount Pleasant building codes, and weekly progress updates with direct access to the project manager.

Do you work with interior designers or handle design in-house?

Southeastern Renovation works both ways. Many Daniel Island and Mount Pleasant clients bring completed designs from interior designers or architects. For clients without designers, design-build services are offered including space planning, material selection, and 3D renderings.

Should I remodel my kitchen or bathroom first?

Consider three factors: usage frequency, ROI, and disruption. Kitchens are used daily and offer the highest resale return at 70 to 80 percent ROI. Bathrooms have shorter renovation timelines of 4 to 6 weeks compared to 8 to 12 weeks for kitchens and cause less disruption to daily life.

What is the difference between cost-plus and fixed-price contracts?

Cost-plus means the homeowner pays actual costs for materials and labor plus a fixed percentage. Southeastern Renovation charges a 25 percent overhead and profit rate. Every receipt and timesheet is visible. Fixed-price contracts give one total number but often include hidden buffers.

Do I need permits for my remodeling project in Charleston?

Most remodeling projects in Charleston require permits. Kitchen and bathroom renovations typically need building permits for plumbing, electrical, and structural changes. Historic district homes have additional requirements through the Board of Architectural Review. Southeastern Renovation handles all permitting.

Do you offer warranties on remodeling work?

Yes. Southeastern Renovation provides a comprehensive 1-year workmanship warranty on all remodeling projects. Manufacturer warranties on cabinets, countertops, fixtures, and appliances extend beyond the workmanship warranty, typically 5 to 10 years or lifetime.

What is your payment schedule for remodeling projects?

A 25 percent deposit is required to secure the project start date. For projects over $100,000, a retainer-based payment schedule tied to milestones is used: 25 percent deposit, 25 percent at rough-in completion, 25 percent at cabinet installation, and 25 percent at final walkthrough.

Do you offer design-build services?

Yes. Southeastern Renovation works with homeowners and designers to plan and execute well-coordinated remodeling projects, offering design-build services that include space planning, material selection, and project execution under one contract.
