Rob Hanawalt is awesome! Hire his company!…read more We met Rob in 2005-2006 when he worked as a subcontractor on a house we were building. He obviously had skill as a carpenter and was very respectful. His attention to detail is great as he built a door from a door slab we provided (he didn't require a pre-hung door). He always checked with us when we were both on site to see if we were satisfied with his work and to see how we were doing. Soon after the completion of the house, we directly hired him to do some handy-man work on the townhouse we were selling. His price was fair, and he did a great job. As usual, he kept to schedule and finished when he said he would. In 2009, we hired his company, Inspired Construction, to fill in the ground level of the house he worked on in 2006 (house on columns). Again, Rob listened to what we wanted and was willing to work with us on tasks that we wanted to do ourselves. His quote was fair, and his crew members were as trustworthy as him. He did a great job. He suggested subcontractors to us instead of just hiring them. We went with his suggestions, and the subs were as good as Rob. You're probably wondering what happens if something goes wrong. Well, my wife and I left confusing directions with Rob about how we wanted our exterior steps built before we left on a long weekend trip. I described how to build them, and my wife later told him that a neighbor had a set of stairs similar to what we wanted. The stairs were done when we returned, but not how we wanted. Instead of refusing to work with us, he agreed to rework the stairs for half of the rework price. He's never run out on a job like other contractors we hired. He's so good that he provided a copy of the paid invoice for the 2009 job when we couldn't find it in 2016 for tax purposes. To summarize, Rob is competent, hard-working, dependable, respectful, and trustworthy. The definition of professional should have his picture included. The worst characteristics about a contractor are lack of communication and not showing up. Rob doesn't have these characteristics. He even returns a call to say that his company is too busy to take on a job (give him a couple of days to call back though). Stop looking and hire him if you are lucky enough to find him with an opening in his schedule. I did read the review by Arienne L. and have no knowledge of the project. If that review concerns you, you really need to contact Rob to discover his side of the story. All I can say is that we had at least 4 ventures with Rob over at last 5 years, and he was ALWAYS a stand up guy.

Where to start... Everyone said my husband and I were crazy for even contemplating a home…read morerenovation. General contractors have about the same reputation as car salesmen (except about 10 times worse), but we made sure to do our homework and interview MANY general contractors in the Charleston area. We narrowed it down to two, and decided to choose Rob Hanawalt of Inspired Construction. He seemed to be a diamond in the rough. His appearance was so non-threatening, he was well-spoken and intelligent, and above all he seemed extremely passionate about his work, craft, and customer service. Unfortunately for us, he has proven to be anything but. Our experience with him has lasted for over a year now, and the nightmare seems to be never-ending. Our project was a large project, but was one that he assured us he had the expertise to undertake. The job went over budget, well over the time frame (as it still has not been completed 100%), and has left my family with hardwood floors that need to be replaced and will likely cost us tens of thousands of dollars to fix. Here is a list of just some of the specific issues he failed to complete: - He failed to have proper knowledge of how to install our bamboo flooring throughout our house. He failed to properly manage his subcontractors while they were installing our floors, and could never provide us with full documentation on the type of glue that was used during installation. Our floors now need to be replaced and could cost us up to $30,000 to replace! When we asked him to file a claim with his insurance to fix the problem, he denied any wrongdoing and threatened my husband and family. - He failed to have proper knowledge of Charleston County code requiring our house to have hurricane protection shutters, which cost us thousands of unexpected dollars to create and install. - Our yard was left in shambles, with nails, concrete, piles of dirt, bricks, paint cans, and other debris strewn about. When we brought this to his attention and asked him to clean up the mess, he told us that the yard was not a part of his "scope of contracted work" and that we basically should have expected our yard to be destroyed during our renovation. Instead we had to spend days cleaning up the mess ourselves, as well as having to hire outside help to do the things we could not do ourselves. We also had to just pray that our young children would not hurt themselves while in our yard. Our children's safety was obviously never a concern of his... At first we were devastated by this huge blunder caused by Inspired Construction. We tried several times to bring the problems to his attention so that he could attempt to rectify the situation, but unfortunately that didn't work. Not only did he deny any wrongdoing (which we figured he would do), but he went so far as to blame the problem on us, the clients, and threaten us with all sorts of outlandish things. Honestly, there are many more issues to report on, but I am tired of thinking about it at this point. I have never in my life dealt with someone so unprofessional, dishonest, disingenuous, and lacking of common decency. There is not enough room on this page for me to express the entirety of grief and aggravation that he has caused my family. PLEASE, for your own sake, DO NOT hire this company to do any sort of work on your house. You will regret it. The phrase "wolf in sheep's clothing" was created to describe individuals like Rob Hanawalt.

The kitchen renovation required the removal of a load bearing wall to open up the space. He also replaced carpet in three bedrooms, installed hardwood floors, refinished the existing hardwoods and painted the interior living space. Adam was very detail oriented. He was organized, creative, dependable, professional, timely and experienced. The skills of his crew also reflected his high standards. They were always on time, worked steadily while on the job and left their work area neat at the end of the day. We would definitely recommend his company to anyone in the market to build or renovate a home.

We hired BH in September of last year to start a Renovation on our kitchen, living room and dining…read moreroom. Rusty worked with me ALL summer with pricing it out, finding out what I wanted, getting the design.. etc. Renovations are never easy and we did have some hiccups but Rusty Holt made sure everything was to our satisfaction. Renovations aren't cheap so if you're looking for cheap then don't go to These guys but remember that you get what you pay for. Also, we priced around over the summer and Blue Horizon was the winning Bid so to speak. It truly was such a relief to have someone else take care of any problems that arose. There were several times that issues came up but Rusty really tried to make it as painless as possible. We renovated through The Holidays, all of them. Half of our home was gutted basically. We worked solutions to unexpected difficulties, had to have patience with others because of the cabinets being delayed. (Through no fault of Blue Horizon). In the end, we got the best kitchen we could get for the budget we had. Our Living room and dining room look amazing as well. We finished at the very end of March of 22. But it was well worth it. You can trust Rusty to make sure that everything is done correctly. Even when the homeowner tries to do something and messes it up.. like my husband did.. lol. There were so so many small details in this reno. From Electrical and plumbing, to matching the wallpaper (which we couldn't do) we built out walls because no way were we paying in money or time what it would have taken to make it completely open. And we are traditional people. My husband said he didn't want open concept so alas, no island for me. But I got everything else I wanted. We converted from an electric stove to gas, added a pot filler, replaced a window so I could have a smaller window and a farm sink under it. Patched in hardwood to match existing hardwood and refinished all, patched up old floor vents from the old AC that is now in the attic.. scraped ceilings or replaced ceilings, added can lights in all three rooms, and so so much more. We could not have done this without Rusty. He was and is invaluable. When we have another big project we will call him again. Although, I believe he does smaller jobs as well. And for the record, I didn't know Rusty or his wife before this renovation. But after working with him for almost a year, I can tell you he is a good man, with integrity and he makes sure the job is done right.
