Walls throughout this renovation were removed allowing for the interior to be totally transformed to create a seamless, open floor plan between a stunning kitchen and great room with vaulted ceiling. OPEN CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN Lake Keowee 2020 Pinnacle Award Kitchen Multi Room This gorgeous lakeside remodel began with an intent to open up the compartmentalized floor plan taking full advantage of the impressive view, as well as to enhance the character of the home through unique architectural features and high-end finishes. The Daniel Builders design team and homeowner collaborated to concept an open layout, removing load bearing walls and creating a seamless flow between the entry, kitchen, dinette, and living area. Large sliding doors surrounded by new, custom windows and an arched transom maximize the lake view and modernize the aesthetic. These additions, along with large windows in the kitchen bring substantially more natural light into the home than existed before. The kitchen features approximately a hundred square feet of counter-to-ceiling glass tile backsplash and a 5’x9’ seamless island countertop of Skara Brae Polished Cambria. The living area boasts a custom fireplace with painted wainscoting and a Cambria surround. Overhead the vaulted ceiling is detailed with Timber Truss Beams that draw the eye to appreciate this focal point in the space. Nine hundred square feet of LVP flooring unifies the different spaces as a whole and the custom rail and wrought iron baluster design provides a beautiful anchor between the different living areas. No detail was too small nor left untouched in fulfilling our client’s vision for this lakeside retreat. Previous Next Back to Projects Gallery

Daniel Builders recognized with a state honor by Preservation South Carolina for an historic renovation of a commercial building in downtown Anderson SC. 2022 2022 PRESERVATION HONOR AWARD WINNER HISTORIC BRIDAL BOUTIQUE Daniel Builders was named 2022 Preservation Honor Award Winner for their "East Benson Street" commercial renovation. A South Carolina Preservation Honor Award celebrates successful and exemplary historic preservation projects around the Palmetto State. Any individual, organization, government agency, or business involved in the preservation of historic buildings, structures, or sites (including archaeological sites, cemeteries, and landscapes) in the state are eligible to receive an Honor Award for a historic preservation project. "THIS BUILDING IS SO FULL OF HISTORY. WE WERE HONORED TO BE TASKED WITH RESTORING ITS ORIGINAL BEAUTY AND CHARM." - BOB CORD, DANIEL BUILDERS In the Fall of 2020, Daniel Builders assisted Danny Walker, a local businessman, with the rehabilitation of 106 East Benson Street, a commercial building on Anderson’s public square. Anderson’s downtown is primarily comprised of late 19th century brick commercial buildings, many of which have undergone unsympathetic renovations which have altered or destroyed their architectural integrity. This building was one of the most altered, the late Victorian ornamentation had been completely removed from the building and the entire façade, including the windows, was covered in grey painted stucco. The interior had also been obscured by vinyl floors and dropped ceilings hiding the original wood floors and beadboard ceilings. The building had sat vacant for years as an overlooked gap in the city’s historic streetscape, and while this rehabilitation could have retained the poorly planned changes the owner inherited, he decided to do more and take the building back to its former appearance. Historic images of the block allowed the team including Preservation South and Daniel Builders to identify the building’s remaining original features as well as other facades in the vicinity that retain those elements for replication as part of a tax credit rehabilitation. On the interior, additions were removed and the original floors were refinished, the plaster walls were repaired and the beadboard ceilings were patched and painted. The largest changes took place on the exterior, the later stucco façade was removed exposing the original brick and former window openings. The missing tin window hoods and parapet cornice were measured from other surviving examples and recreated using modern materials. The storefront was recreated based on historic images and the entire building was repainted in a more appropriate scheme that incorporated one of the tenant’s colors. The building now houses Katharine Marie Bridal on the first floor and a co-working space on the second.

BUILDING TRUST BLOG APRIL SHOWERS Jennifer, Chasidee, and Brandon de"mist"ify leak detection solutions and steam showers! < Back Will Cord 2025-04-25 On this month’s Ready, Set, Renovate! podcast, get ready for a triple feature! Springtime is here, so naturally, we’re discussing April showers and H2O, specifically steam showers and leak detection solutions. You won't want to miss this "water-full" episode! Our first conversation is with Moen rep Jennifer Smith. She discusses how Moen Flo minimizes water damage. Running water is a great convenience, but it can cause catastrophic damage, headaches, and heartache. A small, undetected leak can compound over time, wreaking havoc on framing, interior finishes, and home safety. Jennifer delves into the emerging technology behind Moen Flo and how a small leak can be detected before it becomes a big problem. After talking plumbing protection, we discuss another emerging technology: steam showers! Installing a steam shower is one way to get more from your water. Chasidee Knapke of Gateway Supply joins us to share about the health benefits, maintenance, and costs associated with steam showers. You’ll quickly see why they’re “saturating” the home improvement market. Finally, Brandon Hurtado, Daniel Builders Design Project Manager, explains how to take practical steps toward incorporating a steam shower into your next bathroom remodel. You won’t want to miss these considerations about condensation as Brandon “showers” us with information on design, tile selection, location, and installation!

Compare and contrast Cost Plus to Fixed Cost Pricing. BUILDING TRUST BLOG PRICE IT RIGHT Compare and contrast Cost Plus to Fixed Cost Pricing. < Back Will Cord 2022-10-24 Will the conversation on price result in sticker shock or pleasant surprise? Comparing and contrasting two methods for pricing a custom renovation; Cost Plus Pricing vs Fixed Cost Pricing is the topic discussed by Steve Carson and Larry Myers. At some point the "price conversation" happens for every custom renovation. Generally speaking, there are 2 ways a client receives their price. Many builders take a Cost Plus approach, while others take a Fixed Cost (or Fixed Price) approach. In this episode of Ready, Set, Renovate! Steve Carson and Larry Myers compare and contrast these 2 approaches. Both are reputable builders and have given much thought to how they price their projects. Spoiler alert, neither approach fits every client perfectly, although you may discover one is preferable to you. Only one way to find out. Watch and decide!

Have a question about your renovation? Daniel Builders has answers. How much does a bathroom remodel cost or kitchen remodel cost? UNLOCKING THE ANSWERS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Finding the right answers is clarifying! This is especially true before your home undergoes a major transformation. We recognize the investment you're about to make is significant. Time, money and ultimately your home is at stake. Here are Frequently Asked Questions to help you Design-Build your custom renovation with eyes wide open. QUESTION: What is a realistic timeline to renovate (not an HGTV one)? Timeline depends largely on a project’s scope. Larger, more complex projects require more time to design and build. Here are a few reasonable timeline expectations. Custom kitchens or bathrooms generally take 4-6 weeks to design. Whole house renovation can take up to 6 months to design depending of complexity. A custom home can take 4-10 months. Once design is complete, production starts. A custom kitchen or custom bathroom timeline may take up to 8 weeks build. Obviously, smaller bathrooms take less, likely to be around 4 weeks. A whole home renovation requires 6-10 months to build. And a new custom home can take over a year to build. As you go through our design process, the Build timeline will become clear. QUESTION: What size/scope of project requires me to move out of my house during renovations? Being out of your home during a renovation is always beneficial, and sometimes absolutely necessary. Such is the case when a home is completely gutted. Though a vacant home is optimal, we understand vacating your home is not always feasible. Our team minimizes interruption to your family and home life when renovating an occupied home. QUESTION: What are some main influences on the total cost of a project? To rephrase the question, what causes renovation sticker shock? Our renovation process starts with a price range, known as a TIRe (Target Investment Range). Staying within this range requires 1) you add nothing more to the original scope and 2) you monitor how selections (ex. Fixtures and Flooring) impact overall price. Choosing high end selections will make your price go up. The last thing anyone wants is to be sticker shocked. QUESTION: What is a TIRe? A Target Investment Range is the projected range of cost for your custom renovation. A TIRe is developed based on communication during a Project Vision Meeting. The TIRe is neither an estimate nor quote. A fixed price quote will be determined once Design is complete. A client must communicate the level of finish they seek for a TIRe to be accurate. Our team provides a Project Guide (staff member) to help the client articulate an overall project vision. QUESTION: What is a fixed price quote? A fixed price is the sum of what a client pays for their project. This sum will only change if a client initiates a 1) change order or 2) existing damage (such as significant rot) is uncovered during the renovation. We do not break down cost, nor do we use the cost-plus method. Instead, we provide a lump sum amount so clients know exactly how much they will spend. Line item pricing is unproductive and inaccurate for a large remodel because each line item impacts all other line items. For example, you cannot negotiate an automobile price based on the line item cost of a steering wheel or seat belt. QUESTION: How much do renovations cost? Short answer - A lot! Most Design-Build residential renovations are only worth doing if you plan stay in your home for a long period of time. You will never recoup your full investment in the short term, if ever. Which is why we customize each renovation to a client’s unique expectations. QUESTION: Can I finance my renovation? Yes, we can put you in touch with lenders who assist residential renovations. QUESTION: With so many contractor horror stories, why should I trust Daniel Builders? We are not perfect, and we do make mistakes, however, what sets us apart is our track record for resolving problems and owning mistakes. We take a proactive approach to building trust. And we have numerous happy clients and positive reviews to validate that claim. QUESTION: What characterizes our best clients? Keeping appointments and responsive communication is vital to our process, and ensures you have a positive experience. At each phase of your renovation you will have the opportunity to ask questions and let us know where further clarification is needed. Be upfront with your concerns from the first phone conversation, and at the Project Vision Meeting. It is important we dialogue about what matters most to you, and you make an informed/confident decision. QUESTION: What do I do if I am not happy with someone on the Daniel Builders' team? Voice your concerns immediately. The sooner we know the quicker we can resolve your concern. Communicate the problem via email to your Design manager, Production manager or Project manager. Client to Contractor communication is as important as Contractor to Client communication. We wish to know exactly what your expectations are. QUESTION: Will the project schedule be communicated? At the end of Design, you will receive a proposed start and finish date as well as weekly updates during Build. QUESTION: Will someone be working onsite everyday during the remodel? Some days, no one will be onsite. This does not indicate a day in your remodel. Even when no one is on the job site your project manager is still accessible during normal business hours. As a client you will receive a project timeline and projected completion date. Delays will be proactively communicated. QUESTION: When will I be expected to pay for my project? A progress payment schedule is provided when you sign an Agreement to Build. Invoices are generally issued at the point of rough-in inspection, the start of cabinetry and the final walk-through. Your last invoice is issued after your project is complete and you are satisfied. LET'S TALK We’d love to hear from you!

Hailey Evans shares highs & lows of building a new home. BUILDING TRUST BLOG KEEP THE ENDING HAPPY Hailey Evans shares highs & lows of building a new home. < Back Will Cord 2023-03-20 You’ve heard the stories before. Client goes to a custom builder with a big dream. Builder says no problem and off they go building, when seemingly out-of-the-blue MAJOR problems arise. Questions and fears multiply. Will my project ever be complete? How much added cost? And ultimately how bad can this get? A ton of money, time, sanity and yes someone's very home is at stake. On this episode of Ready, Set, Renovate! Hailey Evans shares how she worked hard to keep her custom home from turning into a contractor horror story. She and her builder (not Daniel Builders) thought they had a good idea how everything would go, but those expectations changed radically after a few months of building, and not for the better. Issues surrounding COVID only added to the difficulties. Being a “can-do” person, Hailey rolled up her sleeves and became the self-appointed project manager for her custom home. Pretty remarkable considering she had zero experience as a builder! As she articulates, the learning process wasn't easy, but rewarding. Hailey was determined her custom home story would have happy ending. Fortunately, the ending was happy in more ways than one. Are you wanting to steer clear of a custom renovation horror story?
