Daniel Builders revitalized a dilapidated eastern wing of this turn-of the-century home and converted it into a new living room, second kitchen, laundry room, and additional guest bathroom. HISTORIC RENOVATION Greenville Addition Bathroom Multi Room Daniel Builders brought the dilapidated eastern wing of this turn-of the-century home back to life. Once clients settled on design, our build team converted an area that appeared abandoned (see before photos) into a new living room, second kitchen, laundry room, and additional guest bathroom. An expansive screened porch addition in the rear of the home capped off an extensive scope of work going into this home. Previous Next Back to Projects Gallery

Daniel Builders takes a decades old home full of history in downtown Greenville and updates the space so it becomes an oasis of artistic flair and functionality. TRADITIONAL EXTERIOR SPACE Augusta Road Area Exterior Upgrade Kitchen Multi Room This project began with a vision to turn a historic home into a downtown oasis where our clients could enjoy their retirement. Creating a place to make our clients feel like they were on vacation was our goal. The scope included transforming a laundry room and office, by utilizing shiplap, custom cabinets and reclaimed wood countertops. A rear entry area with pantry storage adjacent to the kitchen was added. Construction of a screened-in porch and rear deck which included custom balusters with a Swiss flair our clients helped design after returning from Switzerland. The screened-in porch included a heater to maintain comfort in the outdoors during cold weather. Rounding out the scope of work was carport/workshop area. From the detailed carpentry, to the brick perimeter walls around the driveway, to a motorized entry gate for rear access road to their new addition, this project is truly a masterpiece of collaboration between client vision and contractor execution. As the project manager stated, "We not only walked away with happy customers, we have gained wonderful new friends!" Previous Next Back to Projects Gallery

Good news found by the renovation contractor Daniel Builders. BUILDING TRUST BLOG GOOD NEWS Good news found by the renovation contractor Daniel Builders. < Back Will Cord 2019-02-11 Good news found by the renovation contractor Daniel Builders. Disclaimer: What you're about to read has nothing to do with renovations. Still, if an award was given for our “Most Significant” blog post, this one would win by far. I’m sure you've our society has become increasingly panic-stricken. The news networks rarely tell us anything calming or good, and social media thrives on deception. All this bad news begs the question: Is good news out there? The answer is yes. Good still happens in our American culture. And it's worth finding. You need to know where to look though, or face being swept away by a tidal wave of negativity. So where is the good news? At Daniel Builders we recognize truly good news starts with God. He is doing good right now in our community, even as much of it goes largely unrecognized. The few recognizing this goodness are often at “rock bottom”. They have exhausted just about every option, but one -The Haven of Rest. The Haven specializes in helping people at rock bottom, and they frequently see God demonstrate amazing goodness. Recently, I sat down with Stu Butler, executive director of the Haven of Rest in Anderson. What he said is worth sharing. Will: Who comes to the Haven of Rest for help? Stu: Men and women struggling with a life dominating problem. Let me read you our Mission statement. The Haven of Rest exists to see those with life dominating problems rescued, restored and released while experiencing the love of the Lord Jesus Christ as commanded in the Great Commission of Matt 28:18-20. Will: What does getting help look like for someone struggling with a live dominating problem? Stu: We don’t advertise. We don’t have to advertise. Most people end up here by word of mouth. We have five pillars. Food. Shelter. Clothing. Christian Love. Biblical Guidance. If a person’s stomach is inside out from hunger, they can’t really listen very well. Or if someone is physically exhausted and they just need to lay down a while we can meet that need. So, we start by meeting basic needs, but that’s not where we stop. Will: What motivates you? Stu: The love of Christ, what He has done for me and what I see Him doing in other people’s lives. We see God doing miracles here every day and that is not only motivational but inspirational as well. I am motivated to leave things better than I found them. That is something that my dad taught me and it has stuck with me all these years. He did that and his legacy still lives on even though he passed away two years ago at age 92. I want to follow in my Father’s footsteps – both my earthly father and my heavenly Father. I want to leave a legacy that is larger than me and will last longer than me. Will: Have you seen an increase or decrease in desperate, “rock bottom” people? Stu: Unfortunately, we have seen an increase. Material poverty has been around for a long time but we also see spiritual poverty and relational poverty. Technology has connected us but also disconnected us and that creates relational poverty. So, we are ministering to men and women dealing with that as well. Interestingly in our low-tech ministry centers our men and women are forced to talk and to relate to one another. That can be a slow process at first, but they can learn to relate to their fellow sojourners and that is a great thing. If they can learn to relate to and love their fellow man who they have seen it helps them to see God who they have not seen. Will: How will the Haven continue seeing God at work? Stu: We stand on the truth and the basics, as long as we do that we will grow and see God at work. As we are faithful to God, He is faithful to us and gives us fruit for our labors. This is a faith ministry and what we have found is that God honors faith because faith honors God. We are so thankful for the support of the community, support which we depend on because we do not receive government funding for our programs. May God grant us all an ability to recognize His good news.

Daniel Jachens, co-founder of Daniel Builders, shares about a recent mission trip where the team partnered with Prince of Peace Church to assist Camp Mahanaim in Puerto San Jose, Guatemala. BUILDING TRUST BLOG GIVING TUESDAY SPOTLIGHT Daniel Jachens, Daniel Builders Co-founder, shares about a team mission trip to Guatemala. < Back Will Cord 2024-12-02 Daniel Jachens, Co-founder of Daniel Builders, shares about a recent mission trip where the team partnered with Prince of Peace Church to assist Camp Mahanaim in Puerto San Jose, Guatemala. How is Daniel Builders ministering in Guatemala? Daniel Builders has made one to two trips a year to foster a relationship with Prince of Peace Church and has headed up the construction portion of their Guatemala ministry for 8 years. How did Daniel Builders choose Guatemala as the destination for generous giving and initially connect with Prince of Peace Church? We traveled to Guatemala about 8 years ago to explore several different ministry opportunities. We felt a strong need to serve Puerto San Jose and partner with Prince of Peace Church. The church had a vision to build Camp Mahanaim and owned the property for about 15 years before our arrival. At the time, they did not have the funds or resources to make it happen. God worked to fulfill both their vision and our desire to help! How does Prince of Peace Church use Camp Mahanaim to serve the community? They have hosted several camps and use the facility to reach the young people for Christ. They would also like to rent the facility to other church groups. Can you tell us more about the specific project or projects your team worked on during the trip? Over the years, we have learned how to do many different things that we are not accustomed to in the States. Being in another country where things are done much differently, we always tend to learn a lot! We have dug foundations, hand-mixed concrete for large areas, cut down trees with machetes, coated walls with stucco, and laid a lot of block! We've also performed plumbing and electrical work. On our last trip, our main focus was painting. What were the primary goals you aimed to achieve during this trip? Our goal on this last trip was to get the camp ready for the first real camp session. This included painting, cleaning, and setting up beds for the campers. What was the reaction of the local community to your team's efforts? The church and community are so welcoming and loving to us each time we visit. It is a true pleasure to be able to go and serve. They have become family to several who go regularly. How do you measure the success of this trip? Did it meet your expectations? It is hard to measure, but we did what we came to do. Whenever you go on a trip like this, it is important to be flexible as far as schedule and daily tasks. As participants in what the community is already doing, we do not want to act like the boss or take control. Can you share a story or moment from the trip that has stuck with you and why it’s meaningful? There are many, but one of the most memorable things from this last trip happened as we were getting ready for the camp to start. I drove the 12-passenger van to pick up the kids to bring them to the camp. We packed in way too many, and there was luggage everywhere! To see the excitement on their faces and learn that this was the first time that many of these 15 and 16-year-olds had been away from home. .. it was an amazing opportunity to impact these young people! During that weekend, about a dozen of them gave their lives to Christ, and it was neat to see God work! How can others in the construction industry contribute to similar charitable efforts? There are many opportunities to get involved in a ministry and so many places that need help. I would encourage anyone to pick a spot or ministry and devote your resources to that cause! How has this experience shaped your view of the construction industry's potential to make a difference globally? There have been so many benefits to employees and seeing relationships grow. It is hard but worth it! God has blessed our lives significantly through this ministry. Though it's our desire to go and give, most often, it's actually us who receive the blessing. I think that God can use all our gifts and talents. If we were to really use the potential that God has given us, wow, it would be amazing to see the difference that could occur in our world!

Build trust in tangible ways. BUILDING TRUST BLOG INVEST IN TRUST Build trust in tangible ways. < Back Will Cord 2018-06-21 The forethought necessary to renovate and repair your home after storm damage has occurred. Here are 7 ways to approach storm damage to your home. Earlier this month we hosted approximately 60 guests at our first Lunch & Renovate event. For those unable to attend, our event was designed to build deeper relationships of trust. That should sound familiar because the tagline “Building Trust” is on our trucks and marketing material. This tagline has become somewhat of an obsession. We're passionate about establishing and protecting relationships of trust, which leads to some obvious questions. Why all the emphasis on trust? What Return on Investment (ROI) does trust offer? After all, why obsess about trust when actual results are more important? (Short answer: the best results require trust. I’ll elaborate.) Here’s 7 reasons why we obsess over building trust. Trust Enhances Clarity . Clear expectations are established and fulfilled when there’s trust. This prevents unproductive habits of speculation and guesswork. Trust Establishes Stability . "Surprises" can derail a project. A relationship of trust addresses small problems before they become big problems. The result is stability and decreased anxiety. Trust Enables Efficiency . Trustworthy people follow through on commitments. Less time is wasted “back tracking” to deal with incomplete work. Trust Expands Potential . People who interact and operate on a strong foundation of trust accomplish more together than individually. If you want to tap into one of the greatest resources on the planet (people) you’ll need trust. Trust Empowers Communication . Trusting someone means you ask and answer straightforward questions without feeling threatened. You can also listen wholeheartedly without doubts in your mind. Trust Ensures Protection . A trusting relationship is characterized by “looking out” for the other person. That involves guarding against potential threats to their resources, reputation, or family. Trust Endures Setbacks . Encountering problems is a great litmus test for trust. When bad things happen true relationships of trust are revealed, and real help can be provided. Bottom line: Trust Enriches Relationships. We realize building trust requires time, patience, and effort - all of which we gladly give to establish relationships. We also realize broken trust is hard to earn back. This is why we quickly acknowledge mistakes and make every effort to correct them. We are committed to seek, protect, and ultimately build trust. In case you haven't noticed, your trust is quite valuable to us! Are you contemplating a major home renovation?
