BUILDING TRUST BLOG HIDDEN PANTRY TOUR: TIPS FOR MAXIMIZING STORAGE FROM CAROLINA CLOSETS Want to get organized? This kitchen remodel offers some design ideas! Back to Blog 2025-01-31 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV-y_Vc3U2U Want to get organized? This kitchen remodel offers some ideas! “A place for everything and everything has its place” is a proverb some say originated in the 17th century. It’s the perfect proverb for someone designing a custom kitchen pantry. In this award-winning kitchen remodel , Daniel Builders partnered with Carolina Closets to create a pantry characterized by order and accessibility. Lindsey Johnson is the design consultant from Carolina Closets who contributed to this kitchen’s transformation story. Because the best kitchen makeovers have a cohesive aesthetic, the pantry is worth highlighting. You wouldn’t know based on the photo below, but it’s hidden in plain view! Thanks to the Woodshop , the hidden pantry door blends seamlessly into the custom cabinetry. One of the challenges of any remodel is space planning. Daniel Builders has reconfigured countless kitchens so space is allocated to the client’s liking. While this project was being designed, the Daniel Builders team reworked portions of the floor plan to achieve better flow and functionality. The existing home had an 18-foot covered exterior entryway with flower beds on either side of the front door, but the flowerbeds were in an unusual place…under the roof! All in all, the space on either side of the entryway was completely wasted! The Daniel Builders design team repurposed 9 feet of the entryway into a hidden pantry and laundry room. They identified areas to demo (indicated in red below) to create the new hidden pantry floor plan. The walk-in pantry dimensions are approximately 5.5’ wide by 8’ deep. A window was also added to allow natural light to stream in. Once the walls were in place, the team knew they needed a pantry design expert to organize the space, and that’s when Lindsey Johnson with Carolina Closets got involved. If you’re looking for kitchen pantry organization ideas, Lindsey creates the perfect strategy to incorporate pantry inserts, organizers, and shelving systems. A few features of this hidden pantry include: 1. Adjustable shelves – great for cookbooks, small appliances, and food 2. Vertical dividers – great for pans, cutting boards, and serving platters 3. Wire baskets – great for snacks or vegetables 4. Drawers – great for serving utensils and food 5. A lazy Susan – great for spices Listen as Lindsay talks about the client’s inspiration, the design process, the installation timeline, and best of all, the finished product! She shares tips for overcoming space constraints to maximize storage in any pantry. 0:00 Introduction 1:25 About Lindsey & Carolina Closets 1:44 Hidden Pantry Reveal 2:09 Hidden Pantry Floorplan 2:23 Hidden Pantry Design Process 3:01 Hidden Pantry Organization Features 3:26 Whole-Home Remodel Project Photos 3:32 Hidden Pantry Collaboration Process 3:56 Carolina Closets Installation Timeline 4:20 Organization Ideas for Small Spaces 4:59 Conclusion 5:04 How to Contact Daniel Builders 5:12 How to Contact Lindsey Are you contemplating a major home remodel?

It’s been one month since Hurricane Helene and we’ve learned a few things about how the home reconstruction process is going. Please read if anyone you know is struggling to put their home back together. At the very least we hope to provide clarity on the challenges ahead!   BUILDING TRUST BLOG STORM RECOVERY UPDATE It’s been one month since Hurricane Helene and we’ve learned a few things. Back to Blog 2024-10-25 It’s been one month since Hurricane Helene and we’ve learned a few things about how the home reconstruction process is going. Please read if anyone you know is struggling to put their home back together. At the very least, we hope to provide clarity on the challenges ahead! What is the extent of the damage? Trees falling on homes did extensive damage to roofs, structural members, windows, and interior space. That's the obvious part. Not so obvious is damage caused by unmitigated water, especially in the case of mold growth on drywall, carpet and between layers of hardwood flooring and subflooring. Mold will create worse long-term problems if not addressed. When can reconstruction of our home begin? We’re careful how we answer this. Forty-five days was the target, but due to demand we hesitate to set that expectation. The process is fluid and contingent on several factors like severity of damage, insurance involvement, and defining a scope of work. Here’s what we can control: providing everyone with prompt communication and evaluating each home on a case-by-case basis. How are we vetting storm damage calls? We’re asking these questions: Are trees or limbs still on the home? If tree removal has occurred, has the home been sufficiently protected? Does the homeowner want their home reconstructed to its pre-storm condition? Or will they update and modify the home with a custom remodel? If they wish to modify their home, are they aware insurance won't cover that cost? What insurance company is the claim file with? Has the adjuster been in communication with the client? Have they set an amount? Can photos of the damage be provided to our team? How are these projects being quoted? Based on photos we can often give a labor/materials estimate and schedule a site visit. A site visit will help us firm up that estimate. In the estimate we include what is required to support surrounding structures (braces, etc.) until construction can begin. If the labor/materials estimate is approved, we tarp the home and begin making plans to start work. For the vast majority of storm related projects, insurance determines what can be done. For those who aren’t entirely dependent on their insurance we provide a cost-plus estimate. This pricing approach shows labor rates, materials, overhead and markup. The homeowner can expect a bi-weekly invoice as work progresses. A fixed price quote is for clients who rely entirely upon their insurance to pay. This quote will include an insurance cost breakdown with an itemized list showing the scope of work required to return the home to its previous state, based on observable conditions at the time of inspection. The quote will need to be approved by your adjuster. Should the client wish to redesign or make additional upgrades to their home, a separate costing will be provided. What additional tips might benefit the reconstruction process? Document your expectations Get multiple quotes if you’re unsure about a builder Securely tarp your home to ensure additional damage isn’t occurring Remember, fixed price quotes are for observed damages at the time of inspection. Most policies don’t include flood damage. Avoid using the word “flood”. Insurance companies need an itemized quote showing the cost of restoring your home to its pre-storm state. Schedule your adjuster (or bring him back) after tree debris is removed from your home. You and your contractor should advocate for each other. The client needs to get involved if the insurance adjuster is not returning calls. Likewise, the contractor should be willing to get involved should additional damages be discovered. The agreement you sign with your contractor is for a scope of work you agree to, regardless of the insurance company. How can Daniel Builders can help you navigate the reconstruction process? Our team has learned a lot over the last month!

Transform any home despite a low housing inventory. BUILDING TRUST BLOG RENOVATE YOUR PURCHASE Transform any home despite a low housing inventory. Back to Blog 2022-05-31 When housing inventory is low you still have an option to transform any home with a Guide Design Build renovation. Housing Inventory in our area (Upstate of South Carolina) is limited and disappears quick. Homes sell almost as soon as they hit the market, sometimes within hours of being listed. People are moving here in droves and they’re coming from all over the country! Finding and buying a home in this area requires quick decision making. Finding that “perfect” home is not likely in these market conditions. Fortunately, you can renovate almost any home into a space you’ll love. Although there are a few basic questions to answer before purchasing a home you’re planning to immediately renovate. Will renovation work price me out of the neighborhood? Just about every home can be renovated (some should be torn down and built from scratch), but just because you can renovate doesn’t mean you always should. Investing too much in a home might be a really bad financial decision. For example, purchasing a $350K home and then spending $300K in renovation work is bad idea when homes in the neighborhood are valued under $400K. Recouping that difference is highly unlikely. Especially if you plan to make another move within 5 years. However, we realize more than financial factors go into a decision to renovate. Will the home’s basic layout stay intact? Moving a kitchen to another part of the home is far more expensive than renovating a kitchen in its current location. Walls can be moved, and rooms enhanced, but completely scraping the general layout (especially as it pertains to plumbing) will drive up cost. Far better to purchase a home where changing the basic layout isn’t necessary. How old is the home? Older homes may be built to stand the test of time, but eventually the 2ndLaw of Thermodynamics and new building codes catch up. Figure out what type of toll time has taken on a home before purchasing it. Home inspectors can help you pinpoint what repair work is need, and sometimes a homeowner may correct before closing. Who was the builder? Every builder has a reputation, and usually with good reason. It’s hard to hide poor quality, at least for long. Knowing who built the home is a good point of reference when trying to anticipate issues that might arise. Are you considering an addition? You may want to add on to a home your purchasing, but to automatically assume you can, would be a mistake. You’ll need a plat to determine setbacks and whether adding on is even possible. Plus, septic system codes impact whether an addition is feasible. Is the electrical system in good condition? It’s a major expense if it isn’t, and wiring is hidden so this expense doesn’t address any aesthetic concerns you have. Qualified electricians are a great resource! Is ceiling height a pain point? Changing a ceiling height isn’t easy or cheap. Transforming an 8 foot ceiling to a 12 foot ceiling is doable (again, almost everything is doable when renovating a home) but not necessarily advisable. Maintaining the current ceiling height will allow you to stretch your renovation budget further. So, you can turn your focus to renovating other aspects of the home. To summarize, buying home is a big decision and even bigger when you plan to renovate as soon as you purchase. Answering the questions above will ensure your vision for renovating is on the right track. Even an unlimited budget requires wise decision making. Your home is an important place, but wastefulness just leads to regret. Our Project Guides will figure out how to fulfill your renovation expectations within your scope, budget, and timeline. Or we’ll acknowledge we can’t. Are you purchasing a home and want to explore renovation ideas with our team? Are you contemplating a major home renovation?

Our co-founder, Daniel Jachens, tells the story behind the first Daniel Builders spec house. BUILDING TRUST BLOG A SPEC-TACULAR BUILD: WHY BUY A SPEC HOME? Our co-founder, Daniel Jachens, tells the story behind the first Daniel Builders spec house. Back to Blog 2026-05-29 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhbKlVCdan4 Where would you live if you could pick any house? Some are dreamers: they already have the answer in mind. Some are thrivers: they are perfectly content with their current home. Some are seekers: they need to see it before they know what they want. It's much like trying a new food, you don't know you love it until you taste it! This "SPEC"tacular build might be the answer for the seekers out there! (Dreamers and thrivers are also welcome!) It's a spec house, built using Daniel Builders' expertise and design services, a vision that's been nearly 20 years in the making. On this episode of Ready, Set, Renovate, you'll meet Daniel Jachens. He's the co-founder of Daniel Builders, and he shares the story of thi s beautiful home, built in collaboration with our friends at Zion Architects, Buttercup Designs, and Trusted Tradesmen & Co. The outcome, which you’ll see in the video, is a unique floor plan paired with eye-catching design selections. What is a Spec House? The Daniel Builders team is experienced with remodels and custom builds, where the homeowner handpicks finishes and design details. A spec house is similar to a custom build in that it is new construction, but it differs in that it's designed to appeal to a wider market instead of a specific homeowner. Benefits of Buying a Spec House Timeline: While a custom build can take a year or more to construct, a spec home is a good option for people who don't want to wait that long! It's built with all the care of a custom build, but it's move-in-ready! Decision-making: Our remodeling clients often tell us, "I had no idea there would be so many decisions to make!" It's true. A selection sheet for a typical remodel can contain hundreds of items: everything from appliances to tile to lighting to doorknobs to faucets. Making all those selections is not for the faint of heart! That's why our clients so often ask architects and interior designers to assist with the design process! In a spec home, we make the design selections, alleviating that burden for the homeowner. What you see is what you get: When walking through multiple showrooms during the design phase of a custom build or remodel, it can be difficult to visualize how your selections from each showroom will look once they are combined together. In a spec home, potential buyers can easily visualize the design during their initial walkthrough, because all those decisions have already been made. You get all the benefits of an experienced architect and interior designer, and you don't have to pay a design fee or visit a single showroom! To the Dreamers Out There While there are significant advantages to buying a spec house, we know it's not the right fit for every homeowner. Some people love details. They love the process of making a house a home that's uniquely their own, down to the tile and drawer pulls. If that's you, our design team has got your back. Whether you want to make selections yourself, work with your own interior designer, or welcome our recommendations, we customize the design process for your needs. Finding the Right Fit Whether you're looking to buy, build, or renovate, Daniel Builders delivers an inspiring finished product. Check out the video above to see footage of the home for yourself!

A look back at some of our 2024 projects and milestones. BUILDING TRUST BLOG 2024 PROJECT PORTFOLIO A look back at some of our 2024 projects and milestones. Back to Blog 2024-12-24 What a year! We're grateful for these 2024 memories and milestones! This year, we added more talent to our commercial division, design team, and build team! We welcomed Tim, Deedra, Lorianne, Micah, and Patrick! The largest project we completed this year was a whole-home remodel in Simpsonville, SC, thanks to an extensive team of industry professionals! In addition to the work on both floors of the home’s interior, the project included a new screened porch, a garage conversion, an outdoor pavilion, and a redesigned landscape. The screened porch features two in-ceiling heaters, Ipe wood decking, and a sliding double door. The garage conversion features a kitchenette, full bath, and game room. The home features a custom metal hood vent and railings, a handcrafted herringbone appliance panel, and craftsman-built wainscoting in the dining room. We completed multi-room renovations at two Cliffs properties. This Cliffs at Glassy home featured a new kitchen, master bath, and locally-made handrail. This Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards home featured a new kitchen, master bath, and basement conversion. We also had the opportunity to help two Greenville clients with home additions! The first was a single-story addition that expanded the home's existing floor plan to include a mudroom, laundry room, half bath, closet, office, and screened porch. The second was a two-story addition that expanded the home's floor plan to include a sunroom on the ground floor and a master suite on the second! We continued to serve clients on both Lake Keowee and Lake Hartwell. This kitchen renovation at the Reserve at Lake Keowee featured a hammered copper hood vent and a lake-green island. The modern design of this multi-room renovation on Lake Hartwell was a welcome addition to our portfolio! The project included a complete redesign of this townhome’s first floor. In 2024, our Direct Projects division expanded through both commercial projects and a new niche: condos! We completed several condo renovations at 201 Riverplace in downtown Greenville. We also completed two commercial office renovations for HH Barnum Company and Cox, Klugh & Company. The past year also brought opportunities for generous giving. In September, we assisted Haven of Rest, a ministry serving those battling housing insecurity and addiction, by repaving the driveway of their women's shelter. We are grateful to all who helped us fill 2024 with positive memories and milestones. Now on to 2025! Happy New Year! Are you contemplating a major home renovation?

Adam goes on to give an overview of the mold inspection and mold remediation process. Daniel Jachens, co-owner of Daniel Builders, also joins us. He shares his own personal experience with mold that caused his family to embark on a health journey due to mold sensitivity. The journey was LITERAL as they were forced to temporarily relocate.

Greenville SC is now home to a Daniel Builders location. BUILDING TRUST BLOG GREENVILLE ROOTS Greenville SC is now home to a Daniel Builders location. Back to Blog 2019-07-31 Daniel Builders opens a second location in Greenville SC to gain greater proximity to clients. We recently opened a Greenville, SC office. Why Greenville? Here are 5 reasons we sought a physical presence in Greenville. Proximity to customers - Many of our clients live here. Naturally, being closer makes these relationships stronger. Long distance customer relationships can work, but they’re not optimal in our profession. More “Face-to-Face” meetings - We love communicating in person. And it doesn’t matter who. We’re building trust with customers, stakeholders, even other builders. (*Note: Yes, we're finding ways to build trust even with our competition. CRAZY, huh?) Now more “face-to-face” conversations can happen. No long trips required. Commitment to Customers - Building Trust is a long-term commitment. Establishing deep roots in Greenville positions us as the contractor you choose for life. “Fly by night” contractors don’t do this. Industry Collaboration - Greenville is not just where clients reside. Many skilled trades and other industry related businesses reside here. In fact, next door to our office is a landscape architect. A Greenville location increases collaboration. Making Introductions - Our sign and building warmly greet those traveling along Washington St. Like an audible voice saying “Hello. We're Daniel Builders. Ready, willing, and able to guide you through a major home renovation.” And yes, meeting new clients is important to us. After all, why stop Building Trust now?

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 .
