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!

At some point how they feel about Daniel Builders comes out. Maybe in a Google review or on social media or in a personal conversation (yes those still exist), but rest assured our clients talk. On this episode of Ready, Set, Renovate! we hear firsthand from one of our clients, Brian Holmes, about his experience with Daniel Builders . Brian's home was completely renovated. He speaks candidly about going through Design and Build with our team. He shares what went right and how things were handled when they went wrong. As a senior partner for Peachtree Planning , Brian oversees the Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson area. Excellent service is something he understands and expects from his team, and he's savvy when referring other businesses. After all, referring others comes with an element of risk.

A historic home near downtown Pendleton South Carolina was completely remodeled by Daniel Builders with materials reused from the original home. TRADITIONAL INTERIOR Pendleton Bathroom Kitchen Whole Home This home was originally constructed over 100 years ago. Daniel Builders performed a full remodel of this beautiful historic home utilizing a Guide-Design-Build process. The house was stripped down to the studs and expanded with a two-story addition, resulting in an increase of total living space from 2,200 square feet to 3,900 square space. The remodel incorporated many reclaimed materials to achieve a finished product that harkens back to the home’s original construction. The beam and mantle in the living room were crafted from old framing materials, while the wainscoting in the dining room was made from reclaimed paneling salvaged from the old addition that was demolished. The ceiling and fireplace in the master bedroom were also constructed using reused materials. Attention to detail and commitment to maintaining the original character is immediately evident upon entering the home. The additional square footage (1700 square feet) enhances functionality while bolstering the home’s historic charm. Modern and classic design elements are beautifully blended to endure for decades to come. Previous Next Back to Projects Gallery

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!

This Lake Hartwell South Carolina home with open concept was recognized by winning a Bridge Award for a four pane ceiling with tongue and groove paralleling a four gable roof. 2022 2022 BRIDGE AWARD WINNER (400K) TRADITIONAL OPEN CONCEPT Daniel Builders was named 2022 Bridge Awards Winner for “Highest Degree of Difficulty and Best Innovation of Space in a Partial Home Remodel $400K” for the “Gambrell Road” house. The Bridge Awards are presented annually by GBS Building Supply and produced by the Home Builders Association of Greenville to recognize excellence in craftsmanship and professionalism in the Home Building industry in the Upstate. "THIS WAS AN ESPECIALLY COMPLEX CEILING AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOGRAPHY, BUT OUR CRAFTSMEN WERE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE AND DID EXQUISITE WORK." - BOB CORD, DANIEL BUILDERS This lakefront home features 4 gable roof lines that all meet at a central peak in the center of the living area. Our goal was to create parallel lines with 3’’ tongue and grove across each ceiling plane, while also accounting for variance of existing structure. Shadow lines in the trim were utilized to create intentional reveals throughout the ceiling, and the ceiling was scribed to the existing fireplace. Miter folds cap the corners of the ceiling to create an intriguing visual at the peak of the ceiling. Previous Next Back to Awards Gallery

Incorporate these features in a renovation for your health's sake. BUILDING TRUST BLOG WELLNESS BY DESIGN Incorporate these features in a renovation for your health's sake. Back to Blog 2021-11-30 Can renovating your home be beneficial to your health? Renovate your home to have maximum health benefits with air purification systems, soundproofing and water purification systems. Yes, it absolutely can be. During a renovation's Design phase, you have an opportunity to be intentional with options and features that have a positive impact on your overall well-being. Afterall, your home is meant to be a place where you sleep soundly ( when your body naturally heals itself ), think clearly, and even exercise effectively. Here are 8 ways to Design-Build a physically and mentally restorative environment. Air Purification - Clean air is essential to a robust respiratory system. When it comes to air purification systems there are numerous options from stand-alone systems to a complete overhaul of your home’s existing HVAC . 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? We would love to speak with you further about a Design-Build renovation to create one.
