Carpentry & Remodeling in North Charleston, SC
Bungalows, post-war cottages, rental stock and new infill, in a city that spans three counties.
North Charleston grew around the Navy Base and the industry along the Cooper River. Park Circle and Olde North Charleston have small early twentieth century and post-war houses, and a lot of them are being renovated now. Oak Terrace Preserve and Mixson added newer infill nearby, while Wescott Plantation and Coosaw Creek, on the Dorchester County side, are subdivision and golf-course housing from the nineties and two-thousands.
A large share of the housing is rental, so landlords and property managers are a big part of who needs carpentry here. Turnover repairs, rotted exterior trim, soft floors and failing siding on eighties and nineties houses come up far more often than high-end finish work.

What matters in North Charleston
Rental turnover and repairs
Property managers need repairs scoped clearly, priced per unit and finished so the unit can be listed. We work to the manager's scope and send photos of what turns up behind walls and under floors before anything gets covered back up.
Hardboard siding
Pressed hardboard lap siding was common on houses built in the eighties and nineties. Once water gets past the paint it swells at the bottom edges and can't be saved. Replacing it with fiber cement also means fixing the trim and flashing that let the water in.
Floors that move
Soft or bouncing floors in older North Charleston houses usually trace back to undersized or rotted joists and sills over a damp crawl space. We fix the structure first, then the flooring, so the new floor isn't laid over the old problem.
