ADA shower in master bathroom was part of an extensive renovation which aging in place as a key consideration for this project that garnered a Bridge Award for the highest degree of difficulty. TRADITIONAL ADA BATHROOM Verdae 2022 Bridge Award Bathroom One of the primary goals driving this renovation was opening the floor plan to enhance the ability of the homeowners to age in place. With concerns for mobility in the future, the client requested an ADA roll-in shower and the removal of the water closet in favor of a more open plan. Opening walls and expanding the shower also helped meet a secondary goal to increase the natural light in what was originally a fairly dark space. An early idea was to add or enlarge windows, but this brought some challenges including the exterior look of the home, privacy, and use of the outdoor space. Instead, fewer walls, the addition of glass, and the combination of gorgeous, reflective marble with a delicate Schumacher wall covering accomplished a bright and elegant space. Finally, the custom vanity features a built-in mirror on the linen tower. This feature, combined with the recessed drawer stack and breakfront counter top allows the homeowner a small niche where she can sit to use the vanity while still maintaining the needed storage space within the cabinets. The design team worked to address every functional detail to provide for the client’s needs while also capturing a classic interior style that blends seamlessly with the original design of this beautiful southern home.

Identify the difference between Guide Design Build and Traditional Construction. BUILDING TRUST BLOG BEST RENOVATION METHOD Identify the difference between Guide Design Build and Traditional Construction. Back to Blog 2017-07-25 Identify the difference between Design-Build and Traditional Construction. Excerpt from FROM ATLANTA BUSINESS CHRONICLE; Read complete article here . The Problem is Ever Increasing Complexity By definition, design-build is a project delivery method in which one entity takes single-source responsibility for both design and construction. And to many owners, particularly those undertaking the biggest and most complex projects, it’s a godsend. Today’s buildings have more demands placed on them than ever before, meaning today’s projects are more complex than at any time in human history. With increasing specialization in everything from smart building technologies and HVAC setups to energy-efficiency and more, no design professional is an expert in every building element. It takes a robust, multi-disciplined team to get a project right. And therein lies the problem with general contracting. In the traditional general contracting method, owners first hire an architect, who designs the facility, then bid out construction work to contractors, often selecting the low bidder. As a result, there’s a lack of specialized construction expertise on the design team, leading to incomplete, unclear or impractical design specifications. These design challenges inherently cause expensive, time-consuming changes late in the project, conflicts between architect and contractor and, ultimately, increased owner risk. Building Innovation into Projects from the Start By contrast, design-build brings expert construction and trade professionals - who will ultimately be tasked with executing the designs - into the process from the start. These professionals aid the design team by evaluating designs for cost, schedule, constructability, and sustainability at the onset of a project. Specifications can be value engineered from the start. Cost overruns can be eliminated. And schedule can be streamlined. The process paves the way for all project parties, owner included, to work creatively as problem solvers. Innovation is now part of the project, and instead of being encumbered by complexity, owners can take advantage of emerging best practices and technologies. Operating as a cohesive unit from start to finish, the team - again, owner included - identifies better building methods, smarter technologies and best-value solutions. Reducing Uncertainty and Risk Design-build aligns all project parties on one team, eliminating disputes between architect and contractor for the owner to settle. With all project parties working together, the design is more robust and complete, requiring far fewer late-game changes on the job site. And the numbers bear this out. When compared with general contracting, design-build sees 11.4 percent less schedule growth and 5.2 percent less cost growth during construction. That means less uncertainty, fewer change orders and significantly reduced owner risk. Jody Luke Business Development Director, The Korte Company. The Korte Company, founded in 1958, is headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri with offices in Highland, Illinois; Norman, Oklahoma; and, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Maybe you’ve heard legend of these "off-grid" people and their homes, but do that actually exist? And if they do exist, what modern conveniences are they sacrificing to achieve this feat? In this episode of Ready, Set, Renovate! our guest Derrick Zearley discusses his modern “off grid” home, which he and his family have lived in since 2020. Derrick reveals the power source (*spoiler alert* Tesla batteries are part of the power equation) and how the whole system got up & running.

2023 is slowing to a halt and that’s an opportunity to reflect on what just happened over the last 12 months. And a lot happened! Here are seven highlights from an action packed 2023 at Daniel Builders.  BUILDING TRUST BLOG 2023 PROJECT PORTFOLIO Highlights from an action packed 2023. Back to Blog 2023-12-30 2023 is slowing to a halt and that’s an opportunity to reflect on what just happened over the last 12 months. And a lot happened! Here are seven highlights from an action packed 2023 at Daniel Builders. 1. Built to Last - April marked the completion of multi month remodel of a historic home within walking distance of downtown Pendleton, SC. Every square inch of the home was included in the scope of work as a century old home was refurbished to last another century. Only studs were showing once demo was complete, and some of those were even replaced. The big reveal took place during a summer celebration as numerous friends and family gathered to see the transformed home. A delightful time enjoyed by all! The two photos below provide only a glimpse of how massive the transformation was, but you can get the full scoop, including videos, on our website or hear the client's perspective in this video testimonial . 2. Go Small, Go Viral - For the first time Daniel Builders had a social media post go viral . A detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) was at the center of all the attention. Only 350 square feet, and constructed in the backyard of a Greenville residence, this tiny home had a sizable impact. And as these photos show, its hard not to love this small dwelling! 3. Super-Sized Addition - From small and detached to large and attached we wrapped up an ADU of another type this year. This one in the heart of downtown Greenville, a place where many are search for suitable living space. Finding it was easy for these clients. Instead of moving out they added on. The outcome was stunning! Below is the before shot and here is what it turned into. The drone shot with Greenville's downtown in the skyline is must see, probably our best photo of the year! 4. Photogenic Kitchen - Our current Build Director, Sean Harvey, Project Managed this kitchen remodel. He also has the unique distinction of being the photographer. Sean isn't a professional photographer (though he may aspire to be), but this kitchen didn't need professional photography. As you can see the beauty and design shine through regardless of who is snapping the photo. 5. Attic Living - When was the last time you discovered something valuable about your home? In 2023 we helped clients discover a beautiful room above their heads. Once an unappealing storage area, this attic space turned into something truly inviting. And to think it was always there the whole time, just under the roof. 6. Artistic Flair - We learn so much about our clients during the Design phase of our process. For example some have a real artistic flair when it comes to create a design for their home. Such was the case for these clients. In 2023 their design input resulted in a decorative custom rail and an inspiring doorway. Listen as they tell their remodeling story on the Ready, Set, Renovate podcast! 7. Building a Bridge Collection - One memorable evening of 2023 was the night we took home eight Bridge Awards. That was a first! See the complete list and read about those projects here .

One of the most prestigious awards honoring South Carolina home building professionals. Daniel Builders won this award by creating this open layout, removing load bearing walls and creating a seamless flow between the entry, kitchen, dinette, and living area. 2020 2020 PINNACLE AWARD WINNER (100K - 200K) OPEN CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN Daniel Builders was named 2020 HBASC Pinnacle Award Winner for “Remodeling Project $100,000 - $199,999” for the “Chartwell Point” house. One of the most prestigious awards honoring South Carolina home building professionals. The Pinnacle Awards recognize the craftsmanship of the best home builders and remodelers in the Palmetto State. "THIS AWARD WAS A TRUE HONOR GIVEN THE LEVEL OF RENOVATION TALENT IN OUR STATE. WE STRIVE TO BE WORLD CLASS, AND THIS AWARD VALIDATES WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION." - BOB CORD, DANIEL BUILDERS 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.

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?

This Daniel Builders project was featured by HOUZZ! BUILDING TRUST BLOG MUDROOM MASTERPIECE This Daniel Builders project was featured by HOUZZ! Back to Blog 2020-07-23 Recently Daniel Builders was approached by an editor/writer from Houzz.com seeking to interview our Design team about this recent mudroom renovation. Being honored, we agreed and plan to highlight the interview on our social media platforms once published. The request from Houzz raises a question though. Why give attention to mudrooms? Short answer: Houzz realizes Mudrooms are kind of a big deal these days. Maybe not as popular as Kitchen/Bath renovations, but that could be changing. We’re seeing clients take a very serious and intentional approach to designing this area of their home. Below is another example. Five facets factoring into a fabulous mudroom are: Functionality - the mudroom is where work gets done and muddy kids with soccer cleats come. During design think durable with easy accessibility to cabinetry, countertops, coat racks, and shoe storage. Imagine a space to handle mounds of laundry and where yard work warriors transition back indoors. Simplicity - don’t overcomplicate it. Maintaining a minimalistic mindset during Design will serve you well. The layout essentially comes down to four basic features: cleaning (sink/washer/dryer), folding (countertops), storage (cabinetry), and space to hang coats/clothes. Cabinetry - aka more storage. Face it storing stuff is a major part of home life these days. Additional cabinetry is a great way to combat the clutter. And the mudroom is a way better option than other rooms meant for relaxing or entertaining. Countertops - to sort/fold/stack laundry and temporarily place random items you carry into your home. Countertop installation can be modified by height, depth, and surface to maximize your every move. Customized - yes customizing to your taste is important. With the right Design you can achieve a “delighted-to-be-here” feeling the moment you walk in. Let your style shine when selecting paint, flooring, cabinetry, and countertop surfaces. Highly functional mudrooms can also be refreshingly stylish. Bottom line, you want to love every room of your home, even the one that starts with “mud”. Are you contemplating a major home renovation?

What our clients have to say about us! A collection of reviews and testimonials from some of our favorite clients, renovations, and remodels in Anderson SC and Greenville SC. WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US Our clients entrust their custom renovation projects to us expecting expert craftsmanship and unrivaled service - from a home addition to a whole home renovation, a kitchen reno, or a bathroom remodel. Our process is clear and our values are strong, however our clients' words are stronger. As the most reviewed renovation contractor in Upstate South Carolina, Daniel Builders clients consistently rave about the service they receive. I'm not sure I have ever come across another contractor that I have worked with I would give 5-stars to, but Daniel Builders deserves every one. I'd probably do it just because they actually show up when they say they are going to - a rarity I've found these days - on time, every time. But they aren't just punctual in their arrival, they have completed every job for us on time and beautifully! We've asked them to remodel two bathrooms, complete odd jobs to help close a sale of a house and build a beautiful fence. We had a minor, but not unusual, problem with work completed and when we called almost 6 months later, they came out the next week and fixed it without charge. I couldn't believe the responsiveness. Most contractors would take weeks to call you back, if they ever did. Our family has used them as well and had the same great experience. We've already chosen them to help us complete our newest project - a kitchen remodel. We considered briefly to do it ourselves as we've done many times before, but the comfort knowing the job will be done exactly as we imagine, on time and by great people - that aren't us - made the decision for us. Nicole C. Daniel Builders first project for us was after we had water damage to our home. Their expertise and guidance were a lifesaver for us. Our kitchen was totally redone (hardwood floors, granite counter tops, marble subway tile backsplash, cabinets, light fixtures, new laundry room floor). Hardwood floors in living/dining were refinished to match kitchen. Daniel Builders moved all furniture and took down window treatments. The attention to detail was greatly appreciated (special covers were ordered for kitchen table legs to protect hardwood floors). Next project Daniel Builders renovated our bathrooms (granite countertops, new sinks, faucets and hardware, tile floors regrouted to look brand new, new toilets, light fixtures, and mirrors). Painting throughout the house and new den carpet were also done. Daniel Builders has done deck renovation and a French drain for our driveway. Our latest project has been new French doors and doors to our deck and garage. Work has often been done while we are out of town. We appreciate David Bass as a project manager (great communication and attention to detail). We highly recommend! Debbie B. My wife and I began an extensive remodeling job a few years back which another contractor did for us - we didn’t know about Daniel Builders at the time we signed the contract. When we considered phase two of our remodeling, we chose not to use the former contractor. We asked Daniel Builders to bid on the phase two project and we liked both Daniel Builders' price and their professional presentation. They went out of their way to please us in every respect. Exceptional workmanship, expertise, and knowledgeable, can-do attitude, respect for our home, a cleaned workspace every day, timeliness of work, trustworthy, amazing customer service, and professional workmen. The overall job exceeded expectations. They demonstrated to us that this was not just a job for them—they took pride in doing the tasks with excellence. They did everything well and then went above and beyond. Some of the tasks they performed in our home involved carpentry, painting, hardware, light construction, garage floor coating, electrical, cabinetry, creative and artistic interior work, plumbing—each of these were exceptional. The entire crew was a great pleasure to work with. David Bass, the foreman on our home remodeling project, was as professional as they come. David actually performed many tasks personally and did an outstanding job. Warm, respectful, friendly, and thoughtful every single day. All of the members of the team were excellent workers as well. We greatly appreciate the work they did in our home even after all years have gone by. Daniel Builders truly cares about their customers and their employees take pride in their work. Lucy P. I have used Daniel Builders to provide services on several residential projects at my home. I was delighted with the work done and decided to use Daniel Builders to handle the work for a business project. I own commercial property in Downtown Anderson, South Carolina. I needed to renovate a second story and meet the building code and meet the requirements of the lessee as well as maintain the "look and feel" of an historical property. I contracted with Daniel Builders as my one-stop provider of services. They have great standing and relationships with the City of Anderson and that, in addition to my own experience, was a deciding factor in choosing Daniel Builders. Their team inspected the site and outlined a detailed scope of work and timing and cost. The scope included lead paint remediation, “real” plastering, painting/staining, new electrical service/wiring/lighting, rough-in and finish plumbing, door installation/lockset, exterior hand rails, and some minor structural work. The services were completed on time even though there were many “discoveries” which are part of working with and old structure (can you say possum skeleton in an old utility chase?) Daniel Builders assigns a Project Manager to each job. The Project Manager visits the site, works with the subs, and is the source of a continuous stream of updates. I had two one-week trips during the course of the work, and I was very at ease knowing that the Project Manager understood my needs and expectations and was not only supervising the work but was my “eyes and ears” on the tasks at hand. The building is a 100 years old and and an historical property. Daniel Builders found a way to bring the building up to code and retain its “personality” and all at a reasonable cost. The lessee moved in on time without a hitch, and I am enjoying the upgrades to the building (not to mention positive cash flow.) Downtown has an excess of office space but my building was made very desirable based on its history and the renovation work. I had no shortage of folks wanting to lease the space. Daniel Builders handles challenging jobs extremely well and will my “go to” professionals for future work! Dan M. We recently renovated our master bathroom and two other bathrooms at the same time. It was no small feat. We had interviewed seven companies, and Daniel Builders earned our trust through our months of search. They patiently worked with us until we were comfortable with every detail on our scope and quote as well as spending time to really listen to our ideas and work closely with us to bring our visions to reality. Our project manager, Wendi Carson, took great care in protecting our home during the renovation. Everyone who came through our home treated our home with respect. We were well-informed each day with each progress, and our questions and concerns were always addressed immediately. Most importantly, Daniel Builders cared as much about our experience throughout the process as the quality of the final product they delivered, and the company stands behind its work. The final product is beyond our expectation. We love and enjoy the beautifully-built bathrooms that have now become great retreats in our home. Scarlett K. We have worked with Daniel Builders on several projects. We've used them repeatedly because of the quality of the work they've done for us. Additionally, at the end of each day, they clean up, so you never walk into an enormous mess. All the subcontractors they use are polite, respectful of your home, show up on time and do fabulous work. Daniel Builders may not give you the lowest quote, but they don't play any games with their numbers either and often come in under budget, which they pass on to you. There are never any surprise overruns and they always finish on or before the deadline they give. Their team makes you comfortable, and you can trust them. If they find an issue, it's not made up. They walk you through their findings and work with you to find the best solution. They are craftsmen who take pride in their work and care about their long-term customer relationships. We've been more than happy with our experience with them and would strongly recommend them for any project, large or small. Janine H. After meeting with several contractors, we hired Daniel Builders to remodel our kitchen. Daniel was the only contractor that showed up on time and in a timely manner to give me a quote. He showed professionalism right from the start! His customer service team and our project manager were knowledgeable and caring. The workmanship of our kitchen is outstanding and is guaranteed for life. I am so pleased with the outcome and the process to get there. Wendi Carson, designer and project manager, was helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. The team showed up on time, were courteous, and cleaned up after their work for the day. The whole process was easy and seamless. They strived to stay on budget and did! No easy task in a kitchen overhaul. I would use them again in a heartbeat! Outstanding company! Adair P. In 2015 Daniel Builders added a 10'x6' addition to our master bathroom. This involved a very complicated roof connection. We are extremely pleased with the meticulous attention they paid to every aspect of the project. They utilized our existing cabinetry and put in a tile shower and floor. They worked with us to get every detail the way we wanted it and helped us in the design/layout. They also replaced our entire roof and gutters and did an excellent job. (A previous roofing contractor did a terrible job only 12 years ago.) The job is outstanding. It turned out even better than we imagined and exactly within the budget we estimated. A big plus was the fact that they were there when they said they would be and followed up on every phone call, usually the same day. All of their employees were respectful and showed care to get things done the way we wanted. We trusted all of them to be in our house when were weren't there. Corrine K. We chose Daniel Builders for a building project around the same time some friends of ours chose a different builder for a similar project. Ours was finished 7 months earlier than our friends' project (well, probably - at this point, theirs is still unfinished). And compared to our friends' project, our price was locked in at the start. So while their building costs continued to rise as the project went on, Daniel Builders had our price locked. So what we agreed to in the beginning was exactly what we paid, regardless of market volatility. And that's just the time and the money involved. As anyone knows, the third leg of the triangle in any product like this is Quality. Daniel builders creates a phenomenal product. From the start, the architect worked with with me in an iterative process to ensure that everything was made exactly with our needs in mind. As construction started, the project manager was extremely attentive, constantly following up on us and making sure everything looked good to us. I would certainly choose them again if we ever have another building project. Alex S. Love Daniel Builders!! David Bass was our project manager and he couldn't have been more professional and kind!! Goes above and beyond the call of duty and takes his job very seriously; and even though he had several other projects going on at the same time, he treated ours as if it was his only one. Extremely impressed, and will definitely use DB again for future projects! You definitely get what you pay for. Taylor J. Daniel Builders did a fantastic job with the project at our house. Once everything was reviewed and signed, they acted very quickly to minimize the impact to our home, which was a very good thing to my homeschooling family. They were professional, but above all, very polite and respectful to everyone in our family. They treated our small project just as they treated a large commercial project downtown. If you want a class act handling your remodel, you need to contact Daniel Builders. Nick W. I have worked with Daniel Builders on two projects for the Anderson County Museum. Building an exhibit is a little out of the norm for them and they did a beautiful job. I am sure in a few years they will be at the top of my list when we start our next permanent exhibit. The entire company from the top down is very professional. They believe in doing the job right and if there is a problem, they correct it quickly. I would recommend Daniel Builders to anyone who needs a fantastic builder to get the job done right. Beverly C. TOP OF PAGE LOAD MORE LET'S TALK We’d love to hear from you!

Back to Blog 2019-04-16 Becoming a sought after renovation contractor didn't happen instantly for Daniel Builders. There were some hard lessons we learned and willingly share. You’re the beneficiary of our failure. “I didn’t fail. I just found 2000 ways not to make a lightbulb.” - Thomas Edison. Call it what you want, but these 7 things we got wrong. We could deny getting it wrong, but what good is that? Owning failure has much greater benefit for you, our target market, to reap. Greater value comes to you because of lessons failure taught us. Here’s where we failed and found a better way. Pricing Failure - More than once we paid dearly for underquoted projects. Quoting errors revealed our great need for a design build process. It was obvious. When you carefully design and clearly scope a project (making all selections upfront), pricing is accurate - even the very best "educated guesses" aren't as accurate. Implementing the design build process gave our business long term stability. After all, what good is a lifetime warranty when a business doesn't survive? Identity Failure - We tried to be a “do it all” contractor. Any project, regardless of size, scope, or budget, we tried to make work. Big fail. This approach gave us no identity. No focus. No niche. Our customer base showed us we have a strength – renovations. Design build renovations became our exclusive niche. We no longer try to do it all. Instead, you now have a highly specialized renovation contractor. Communication Failure - Verbal communication is one of our strengths, but it created a problem. We relied too heavily on it. Important details were being communicated in conversation but forgotten. Who remembers all conversations perfectly? Not us. Not our customers. We made follow-up emails mandatory after important conversations. Now the phrase “I thought you said….” isn’t necessary because it's in writing. Finishing Failure - Who wants to live in a home continually “under construction”? A good renovation contractor wants your project finished as much as you do. “Project dribble” is phrase we coined to describe the plethora of little issues that keep projects from finishing on time. Eventually dribble got our full attention, and we found proactive was to prevent it. So, your estimated date of completion isn't delayed by dribble. Lead Generation Failure - We used Service Magic, a lead generation company, in the early days of our business. Big mistake. It didn't take long to figure out you, our customers, are the best referral partners. That shouldn’t be a shocker. When you’re happy with our service and quality you talk about it ( and many are talking. ) So we canceled Service Magic, and put even more effort in delighting you, and strengthening client relationships. It's a win-win for you and us. Giving Failure - We’re passionate about giving. “Generous Giving” is one of our core values. And giving “too much” to charity has never been a regret. But we have given too much to non-charitable causes. We pumped too much time, effort, and insights into projects that never materialized, and toward customers who never moved forward. We figured out charging a small consultation fee is a great way to gauge a client's level of commitment. Now business efforts are more aligned with you, the paying customer, and charitable efforts with those in real need. Acknowledging Failure - Why are so many business owners unwilling to acknowledge failure? Maybe they feel threatened by transparency. We see it different. “Building Trust” (which is both our tagline and our passion) requires straightforward communication, even when we get things wrong. Talking about failure once made us squirm. Not so much anymore. We’re quick to tell you we’re not perfect, but as you see from this blog, we take full ownership of failure. Are you contemplating a major home renovation?
