- BENEFIT BY ASSOCIATION - Building Trust Renovation Blog - South Carolina - Daniel Builders
Utilize the HBA of Greenville as a resource. BUILDING TRUST BLOG BENEFIT BY ASSOCIATION Utilize the HBA of Greenville as a resource. Back to Blog 2021-09-16 The Home Builders Association of Greenville serves Upstate Builders and Renovation Contractors. Daniel Builders is a proud member of the Home Builders Association of Greenville (HBAGVL). The Building Trust Blog interviews the HBA executive director Taylor Lyles. Accountability, education, advocacy, and endless opportunity to form productive partnerships is how HBAGVL has become a force for positive change in residential construction. Which ultimately benefits the homeowner. As part of our ongoing effort to Build Trust we recently interviewed executive VP, Taylor Lyles (TL), on behalf of our client base. BTB: Why have an HBA? TL: Great question. On a local level the Home Builders Association educates both builder and consumer. We have an Approved Professional Builder program to help consumers identify quality, vetted builders, which also provides criteria for home builders and renovation contractors seeking to establish a good reputation. BTB: What qualifies a builder to be an Approved Professional Builder? TL: We have some pretty rigorous expectations. Our builder members must be licensed, bonded, insured. Have been in business more than 1 year. Have ZERO outstanding liens and free and clear of major complaints within 1 year. Workers Compensation that is consistent with South Carolina State Law. All while using a written contract in all aspects of business with consumers. As we start looking into the future, we envision a continuing education for SC builders that will continue to ensure a high standard of quality. BTB: How can a consumer know they’re hiring a good builder? TL: Right out of the gate make sure they are licensed and bonded. Make sure the builder provides a written contract. Too often we see “fly-by-night” contractors disappear with a $20K-$40K down payment. That’s completely avoidable and should never happen. The HBA is here to help the consumer vet contractors. BTB: What is the biggest threat from a government standpoint facing our industry? TL: Three words. Land. Development. Regulations. And also, moratoriums. This is where governing bodies like a county council can halt all new construction. That’s very detrimental. In Greenville we need +100K more houses built over the next 20 years. Trying to stop new construction now will only create huge problems for citizens living in Upstate SC. It’s interesting to see council members standing with golden shovels in hand welcoming a new plant or business to the Upstate but giving no thought to where their labor force will live. Also, fewer housing options drives up pricing. So affordable housing can quickly become nonexistent. BTB: The HBAGVL is a resource for all, but who can become a member? TL: Great question. Anyone involved (or seeking to get involved) in the construction industry is eligible to be a member. That includes everyone from appliances vendors to those who provide insurance. And obviously Builders, Remodelers and Skilled Trade partners play a huge role in our membership. Each member has the potential to not only benefit our association but receive even greater benefit in return. Visit HBAGVL or contact them at 864.254.0133 to learn more.

- LOVE AT FIRST LIGHT: HOW TO REFRESH YOUR HOME THROUGH LIGHTING SELECTIONS - Building Trust Renovation Blog - South Carolina - Daniel Builders
After collaborating on a recent remodel, we sat down with Krystal Lord from Gallery of Lighting for an illuminating conversation. BUILDING TRUST BLOG LOVE AT FIRST LIGHT: HOW TO REFRESH YOUR HOME THROUGH LIGHTING SELECTIONS Thanks to the Gallery of Lighting, this project really shines! Back to Blog 2025-02-28 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq53fb1NF2M Not long ago Daniel Builders wrapped up a $1.7M home remodel of a Simpsonville, SC residence. As you might expect, the lighting fixtures were quite impressive! The Gallery of Lighting in Greenville, SC was one of the lighting suppliers for this project. We recently spoke with Krystal Lord from the Gallery of Lighting about her role in the renovation process. From selection to installation, Lighting Specialists like Krystal help “illuminate” the path forward. Check out our interview with Krystal in the video above! When asked to comment on the remodel, here’s what Gallery of Lighting had to say: “It’s clear this homeowner had a vision for their home, and a sense of the importance that quality finishes and construction would play in making that vision come to life.” This project’s interior designer, Carol D’Cruz of D’Cruz Design, explained the “why” behind the lighting selections: “The light fixtures were all chosen for a modern aesthetic that incorporates natural materials. I combined iron, alabaster, nickel, marble, frosted glass, and silk to achieve a timeless yet current feel.” Collin Amos from the Gallery of Lighting explained the role and priority of lighting during a remodel: “Lighting is just as important as any other detail in a home, so putting the same amount of effort into light fixtures as countertops, floors, etc. is paramount.” It all starts with “getting a plan on paper" (something her team is adept at doing). Here’s a glimpse at a few lighting fixtures that went into this massive remodel: Dining Room Nine Light Chandelier Height: 39.00" Width: 23.50" Master Bathroom This photo showcases four fixtures: a backlit mirror, two vanity lights, and a pendant light. The brass Cannes pendant by Ralph Lauren is visible in the mirror’s reflection. The shade is comprised of white glass. Here’s a few more specs: Height: 30.50" Width: 22.00" Depth: 22.00” A brass Calliope LED vanity light by Thomas O’Brien is located on each side of the mirror. This dimmable fixture can be installed vertically or horizontally. Height: 32.75" Width: 3.75" Depth: 3.50” In terms of new technology and trends, the future is bright. According to Collin, “We’re seeing more and more in the way of LED mirrors in bathrooms. They contribute to a high-end, spa-like feel in a space, and more lighting manufacturers are jumping on this trend and releasing their own designs. Key features to look for in a LED mirror are dimmability, color changing capability (warm to cool based on task at hand), and defogging features.” 0:00 Introduction 1:14 Krystal’s Role at Gallery of Lighting 2:14 How Does Gallery of Lighting Serve Homeowners Who aren’t Renovating? 2:59 How Does Gallery of Lighting Serve Homeowners Who are Renovating? 4:12 The Impact of Lighting on Home Atmosphere and Functionality 6:06 The Subjective Nature of Lighting 7:22 What Happens During a Gallery of Lighting Site Visit? 8:19 The Installation Process 9:12 Relationships: The Key to Client Experience 10:04 How to Contact the Gallery of Lighting 10:28 Conclusion Are you contemplating a major home remodel?

- HOME REMODELING OPTIONS - Building Trust Renovation Blog - South Carolina - Daniel Builders
Daniel Builders has added square footage to many homes in the Upstate of South Carolina over the last 18+ years. The location of projects range from Anderson to Seneca to Greenville, South Carolina. BUILDING TRUST BLOG HOME REMODELING OPTIONS Here are ways to increase livable space within your home. Back to Blog 2023-11-04 Daniel Builders has added square footage to many homes in the Upstate of South Carolina over the last 18+ years. The location of projects range from Anderson to Seneca to Greenville, South Carolina. These projects share one thing in common: they all require a budget. Budget is the biggest factor for determining what can and cannot be accomplished. Fortunately, there are a multitude of options (we’ll touch on a few here) to accommodate different budget ranges. The Design Team at Daniel Builders works close with Billy Zion , the principal architect at Zion Architects. Billy looks at the space within a home analytically, creatively and with functionality in mind. According to Billy, “Careful attention to existing walls and adjacent interior spaces. Other considerations include exterior mass, scale, and connection is necessary to ensure an addition looks and feels congruent with the existing home and not inconsistent.” Side note, speaking with a Project Guide at Daniel Builders is a great place to start the budget discussion and move your project forward into the Design phase. Here are ways to increase livable space within your home. Traditional Home Addition Naturally, this is what comes to mind when discussing a home addition. These additions are built on to your home from the outside. A master bedroom suite addition (adding a bedroom with an adjacent bathroom) is a popular example. Adding this type of space to your home causes minimal disruption to your daily life during the Build phase. This because the work is happening outside your current living space. No change in routine is necessary. To make room for a traditional addition some part of your existing landscape will be sacrificed. Detached Accessary Dwelling Units (ADUs) The Rise of ADUs , a blog written earlier this year, has great content on ADUs. The type of ADU we’re discussing is detached or outside the existing walls of your home. Think Tiny Home. The process for building one of these is very similar to building a custom home, just on much smaller scale. The bottom line is a detached ADU, such as the one our team built pictured above, adds livable space. Adding to your home doesn’t always require adding a completely new structure, as in the case of a traditional home addition or detached accessary dwelling unit. A less expensive approach (generally speaking) won’t require a separate structure. You can, instead, convert unused space in your home into living space. Here are common ways to utilize space already nder your roof. Attic Conversions What is above your ceiling? There are a variety of ways to utilize this space. The preceding photos show one example of an attic transformed by Daniel Builders and how it went from a utilitarian storage area to a very lovely living space. Structural qualifications and code approval are challenges associated with an attic conversion. Roof trusses in this area present additional challenges but doesn’t need to derail your attic conversion. Garage Conversions Remodeling a garage into livable space requires electrical modifications, insulation, and windows. Insulation keeps the area from being too drafty during the cold months or sweltering heat in the summer. Plus, well insulated walls minimize noise, and that translates to more peace, privacy, and quiet for you and your family. Windows are another big consideration. Garage conversions commonly begin with no windows, but building codes require them when converting your garage into a livable space. Windows have an added benefit of bringing beautiful natural light and good ventilation into the converted space. Plus, they help keep energy costs manageable. Basement Conversions Another direction you can go in your quest for more space is down. Does your home have an unfinished basement? If so, this is a great option for adding on. This is not to say you can’t build down without one, but the cost becomes exponentially more costly when no basement is there to begin with. Using an attic, basement, or garage may trigger new storage challenges. Possible solutions are a shed, storage unit, or just getting rid of stuff. Something else to keep in mind as you go through this process is your homeowner’s insurance. Adding livable space will require added coverage, and that’s something you’ll want should anything happen to your newfound space! When converting unused space or creating home additions in South Carolina, Daniel Builders is your trusted partner. Are you ready to modify existing space within your home? Are you living in Greenville South Carolina or Anderson South Carolina and need more information about adding onto your home?

- GIVING TUESDAY SPOTLIGHT - Building Trust Renovation Blog - South Carolina - Daniel Builders
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 to Blog 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! < Previous Next > Back to Blog SEE OUR WORK LET'S TALK We’d love to hear from you!

- BATHROOM REMODEL COST - Building Trust Renovation Blog - South Carolina - Daniel Builders
A bathroom remodel can breathe new life into your home. If done correctly it will provide a fresh, functional space to relax and rejuvenate. But before you jump in, it's important to have a clear idea of the potential bathroom remodel costs. The size and upgrades you want, along with the materials you choose, will all impact your bottom line. Local market conditions will also have an influence on the final price. BUILDING TRUST BLOG BATHROOM REMODEL COST Are you considering a bathroom remodel in South Carolina? Back to Blog 2023-09-20 A bathroom remodel can breathe new life into your home. If done correctly it will provide a fresh, functional space to relax and rejuvenate. But before you jump in, it's important to have a clear idea of the potential bathroom remodel costs. The size and upgrades you want, along with the materials you choose, will all impact your bottom line. Local market conditions will also have an influence on the final price. Below are some key factors to keep in mind before starting your bathroom remodel. This is a practical guide for avoiding sticker shock as you plan your bathroom remodel. Bathroom Size The size of the bathroom is a significant factor in determining the cost of a remodel, small bathroom remodel costs will obviously be less than a larger bathroom as they use more materials, fixtures, and labor. Master bathroom remodel cost s, on the other hand, are typically more expensive as they are typically the largest bathroom in the home. Do you plan to make big changes to the layout, plumbing, or other modifications to the structure? This can also make the project more complicated and increase the price tag. Fixtures and Appliances Upgrades to existing bathroom fixtures and appliances affect the outcome. Toilets, sinks, faucets, showerheads, and bathtubs come in a range of price points. Choosing high-end or luxury fixtures will add to your bottom line. Opting for more affordable appliances can help you stay within your budget. Flooring and Wall Finishes Your choices for flooring and wall finishes will also impact the final cost of your remodel. Will you choose ceramic or porcelain tiles, vinyl, or natural stone? Each option includes a variety of styles and price points. The more complex the cuts and the size of the bathroom will also affect the cost. Consider your style, durability and maintenance when making your choice. Cabinetry and Storage Updated cabinets and storage solutions can make your bathroom more functional and stylish. The cost of cabinets depends on the materials, design complexity, and storage options. Custom-made or high-end cabinets will be more expensive than prefabricated or in-stock options. Storage needs and budget are important factors, but like anything be careful how much quality you sacrifice. Going “too cheap” could cost you more in the long run. Lighting and Electrical Work Enhanced lighting in your bathroom can create a more inviting and functional space. But you will need to consider the price of fixtures, wiring, and any necessary electrical work. An upgrade to energy-efficient lights or adding task lights may result in extra electrical work, which adds to the overall cost. Labor and Professional Services The labor cost to remodel bathroom s are a significant component of any bathroom remodel. Hiring a professional contractor, plumber, and electrician results in a high-quality outcome. But this will also contribute to the cost. Choose wisely otherwise this could turn into the costly mistake of all. Trust is key. Use references, reviews and really good judgement before entrusting your bathroom to a contractor. Contractor horror stories abound. This is when a contractor comes across as competent and charming at the start but fails to deliver in a major way. Avoid that nightmare by choosing the right bathroom remodeling contractor! As outlined above, h ow much to renovate a bathroom depends on a variety of factors. The type of materials used, the type and size of your upgrades, and the professionals you choose all count. Establishing a realistic budget is the first and most important thing you can do. Next, rank the items that are most important to you. Your contractor or remodeling pro can help you estimate the cost of each item on your list. By understanding cost drivers, you can make the best decisions. This will lead to a beautiful and functional bathroom design within your budget and become your favorite room to rest.

In honor of National Smart Home Day, we wanted to highlight some of their capabilities! BUILDING TRUST BLOG SMART HOME SOLUTIONS A recent collaboration introduced us to these tech solutions from Fusion Audio + Video! Back to Blog 2024-11-03 We’ve been grateful to partner with Fusion Audio + Video during a recent remodel in Simpsonville, SC. Last week, we took our team on a tour of their downtown Greenville showroom. In honor of National Smart Home Day, we wanted to highlight some of their capabilities! Theater Rooms The choice between a projector and TV is largely dependent upon the amount of ambient light in the room. In 2024, a quality projector varies in price from $1,295-$60K, a 120 inch TV screen from $4K-$130K, and a 98 inch TV from $6K - $7K. The difference is driven by whether you are doing a projector and screen or a television. Picture quality, brightness, indoor vs outdoor, and motion handling also drive the wide variance in cost. Movie screens are available in varying sizes and aspect ratios based on the intended end use. Fusion has a 3D design service that helps clients visualize the room using VR goggles prior to build. Communication between the client, AV team, and builder is imperative during theater room builds. Floating gasket floors, decoupled walls, and decoupled ceilings can help achieve better sound isolation. Decorative pilasters, recesses, and risers can camouflage acoustic panels and wiring, but planning needs to be done upfront. Sports Simulator How it works: It’s similar to a video game with two tracks built into the subfloor. The tracks read the speed, trajectory, and spin of the ball as it passes them and travels toward the screen. Listening Rooms A listening room contains speakers, amplifiers, and custom acoustic panels to reduce the echo and increase sound clarity. Acoustic wall treatments can be color-matched to any paint color. If you want your room to sound like Abbey Road Studios, Fusion can help! TV Add-Ons Custom casings can conceal sound bars. A custom frame can camouflage the TV as a piece of artwork. Remotes can be programmed to lower the TV to eye level or swivel to the left or right. TVs can also be weatherized for outdoor living areas. Lutron Lighting Control & Ketra Fixtures How it works: a single hot wire provides power to different zones of light. A low-voltage control wire communicates commands to individual fixtures within each zone. Each zone can be customized to control multiple lights with a single multi-button dimmer. This system is a great way to consolidate the number of light switches in a room, which is especially helpful when converting a traditional floor plan to an open-concept layout with fewer walls. Retrofit kits are available for remodels and renovations. Lighting can be automated to dim when a movie begins to play in your theater room. It can also be automated to track daylight based on your geographic location and turn off and on accordingly. You can also control the color temperature, which is great for lighting artwork. Under-counter lighting and under-toe kick lighting are also available. V oice Control How it works: Josh.ai is a completely closed, privatized system that was originally designed for executives in Silicon valley who valued privacy. It understands multiple commands simultaneously, which Alexa, Google, and Siri cannot do. Ex: Josh obeys when you say, “Hey Josh, watch ESPN, open the shades, dim the lights to 70%, and set the temperature to 68 degrees.” You can also program multiple actions (or scenes) to occur via a short sentence. “Hey Josh Goodnight” can turn off the lights, turn off the TV, close the shades, and turn on the security system. Josh operates through wireless wall sensors. Since it operates through wifi, it can be retrofitted for remodels and renovations. If you don’t want it to listen in a particular room, activate the mute switch on the sensor. If you wish to operate Josh discreetly during a party or gathering, you can use the app or text from your phone. If the name Josh doesn’t work for your family, there are several other names to choose from. These are just a few of the many exciting smart home options available in 2024! Pro tip: If you want to implement smart home technology, budget for it at the beginning of your renovation project. Demo must planned in tandem with the smart tech. Smart tech is often the last consideration during a renovation project, and you don’t want to get to the end of your project, discover an amazing smart home feature, and have to rip out walls again to implement it!

- VALUE BUILDS TRUST - Building Trust Renovation Blog - South Carolina - Daniel Builders
Set the expectations for a positive renovation experience. BUILDING TRUST BLOG VALUE BUILDS TRUST Set the expectations for a positive renovation experience. Back to Blog 2016-11-30 It’s official. Daniel Builders now has a blog, and you're reading the first post! Welcome! Glad you’re here. What to Expect How many beloved salespeople do you know? I mean people you really enjoy being around. I know what you're thinking. If you don't have to endure a salesperson, then try to get as far away from them as fast as you can. Well, Daniel Builders wants you to benefit from our approach to sales. We see every interaction as an opportunity to build trust, whether you’re ready to spend $250K on a home renovation or simply calling to inquire about a leak in your ceiling. Obviously, not every conversation leads to project agreement, but every interaction is an opportunity to impart value. Which is also our approach to this blog. Post real value content. In other words, we’re blogging to provide you something useful, relevant, and inspirational. (And maybe sometimes hilarious!) Your home holds significant value. For many it's their greatest financial investment. That's just the tip of the iceberg though. What about the emotional value? Your home is a sanctuary, a place to "live", not to mention the location of countless memorable moments with friends and family. All of which contributes significant emotional worth. So how are you enhancing the value of something worth so much? After all, don't you want to love where you live? Daniel Builders wants to help! The Back Story We recognize General Contractors are up against some unfavorable stereotypes. Consider this. When was the last time someone raved about their General Contractor, or told you how well their renovation was managed? Instead, homeowner horror stories are much more common. Like the renovation that becomes a colossal money pit. Or, the General Contractor who mysteriously disappears in the middle of a project, never to be seen or heard from again. Here’s good news. Those experiences are completely avoidable. Starting a major renovation shouldn't lead you to seek treatment for anxiety. It shouldn't feel like leaping out of a plane unsure if you're wearing a parachute or a backpack full of bed sheets. So why aren't people sharing positive experiences? Is anyone having a positive experience with their general contractor? They are, but something big is missing. Trust. Unfortunately, our industry is characterized by high levels of customer distrust. Which is why Daniel Builders takes “Building Trust”, your trust, so seriously. Which is also why we started a blog. This blog, along with the value you receive, is simply another way Daniel Builders builds trust. Enjoy. Are you contemplating a major home renovation?

Soundproofing - Noise compounds stress levels, especially when you’re trying to rest. Even those little annoying noises need to disappear while you unwind. There are several sound reducing techniques that can be incorporated into your renovation, ranging from sound dampening panels to additional layers of drywall to wall hangings . Simple Uncluttered Layout - Albert Einstein famously asked, "If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?" Precisely! When designing your home to be a sanctuary of mental well-being, the goal is unencumbering your mind. Keep the layout functional, where storage is easily accessible. Water Purification Systems - A whole home system is the idea here, not just purification of drinking water, which definitely benefits health. Removing chemicals and heavy metals from the entire water supply will reduce skin irritants and result in cleaner dishes. Plus, the buildup of limescale and other mineral deposits won’t occur. Home Gyms - Exercise is obviously a great way to keep your body robust. Having a gym in your home means the stress of rushing to and from a gym is eliminated. Plus, perusing Pinterest for home gym Design ideas is a ton of fun. Basements, garages, and attics can all be converted into a home gym. Home Sauna and Steam Room - Sweat those heavy metals out of your body. Saunas and Steam rooms can be incorporated into your bathroom Design. Trying to decide between the two? Both offer numerous health benefits. For example a sauna can help with skin problems and a steam room clears congestion. Hydrotherapy Tubs - Having an on-call masseuse is the ideal scenario. Unfortunately, for most that’s outside the realm of possibility. A Hydrotherapy tub is much more realistic method for obtaining many of the same benefits (reducing muscle tension, relieving pain, rehabilitating injured muscles, boosting the immune system, encouraging detoxification, relieving stress, etc.). Calming Paint Colors - The color of your walls influence how you feel. Blues, Grays and Tans are a few stress reducing colors . Are you able to retreat to restorative environment?

Construction attorney Stokley Holder shares insights about custom renovation contracts. BUILDING TRUST BLOG UNDER CONTRACT Stokley Holder & Andy DeLeonardis share insights about custom renovation contracts. Back to Blog 2022-12-05 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xiUlWdlsYA Know any good attorney jokes? Construction attorney Stokley Holder shares insights about custom renovation contracts. Funny as they may be legal problems during a renovation aren't funny at all. Going into a major custom renovation requires a robust legal contract, which can get quite lengthy and full of confusing legalese. Discussing details of a contract isn't the most delightful part of renovating your home, but absolutely necessary. The alternative of having no contract or one that's poorly written can cause your renovation experience to be truly regrettable. Attorney Stokley Holder, of the law offices of Holder, Padgett, Littlejohn and Prickett is our guest in this episode of Ready, Set, Renovate! Andy DeLeonardis, contract specialist at Daniel Builders, also joins conversation. Attorney jokes aside, this is a helpful conversation when you're prepping for custom renovation. Let's get to it!
