I'm almost 80 and planning to continue aging in place in my own home. My plan was to join two bedrooms and have an arch doorway between the bedrooms. They made that happen and also built a wall within the second bedroom to create a bathroom with a walk-in shower with safety concerns in mind. They did all the plumbing, electrical and tile work in the bath that I had planned using ADA recommendations. They also raised the floor in the laundry room to make it level with the kitchen floor, thus removing accidents waiting to happen. My experience with the Improvement Company was pleasant, and the project outcome exceeded my expectations. The two highly skilled pros who worked in my home each day clearly knew what they were doing. Blayne and Yerber were considerate of my needs, respectful of my space, and cleaned up before leaving each day. Their can-do attitudes were consistently positive and their cheerfulness was contagious. Happy with the work and eager to move into my new space, I was sorry to say goodbye to those guys. Would I hire them again? In a heartbeat. Thanks, Improvement Company. L. Shirley Columbia, SC

Well it has been little over 2 years since we closed. Things needed to be fix and wanted things…read moredone before signing but Joe insisted to drive from Charlotte to North Myrtle Beach to sign and if we didn't he was going to sue. Gave me his word everything would be fixed. Well, 2 years later I had to hire electrician and carpenter to do the repairs. Rooney would come out but wouldn't fix anything. Just would say I get someone to call you and get fixed. But they would keep texting for me to removed my post from Yelp. Things would be fixed if I removed post first. I know something's where my fault for trusting and did live about 2 1/2 hrs away. So since they haven't repaired i didn't take down my post, just finishing up my critique. Good luck on your new home and adventure . Things I would suggest if you hire them. 1-don't use their lawyers to save money. Joe suggested we use their lawyers to save money. Spend a little extra so can get help if / when needed. 2- don't take their word until you see for yourself. Was to have 2 truck loads of gravel for drive way but only one was delivered. Called Joe and he said 2 was delivered and knew it was. I called the gravel company and only 1 was delivered. Joe told me I guessed he needed to watch his men closer. Rooney kept tell us how hard it is to built a small house but Joe said no built he has plans and can change. 3-don't build handicap house with barn doors. Rooney told me they don't make handicap barn doors and ask why he didn't tell me - he couldn't tell me everything. 4-check all electrical outlets. circuit breaker kept tripping. Had to hire an electrician to fix. 5-if you get a fireplace get the instructions booklet. They wouldn't put a hearth in floor because wasn't needed. When I finally was given book, it was highly suggested to install hearth because their fireplace can melt LVP. Rooney did come out and measured but never heard again. 5-asked several time where the septic tank was located and where the clean out pipe located. Did finally get a text picture of where they just dug up and placed the clean out. Little thing they forgot. Still no idea where septic tank is. 6-if you using gas for fireplace/ tankless water heater make sure there is a connection for the gas company to connect too. Ask Rooney where the connection was, he couldn't find. Had to do connection after house built. 7-use your own designer. We had at less 2-3, they kept leaving. 8-if you need a handicap house and need wheelchair/walker just pay close attention. Had a little step up from deck to front door. Try getting a wheelchair over that. Joe said he will get a ramp if a remove post. Well there was a metal ramp at door when we came to visit son. Have to give them that one.

She answers emails very quickly and is very informative throughout the building process‼ This company will build on your land or you can purchase land thru them to build at a fair market price‼ You can choose in different areas of the metropolitan area of Columbia & surrounding to build on 1 acre - 10 acres. We have a 2.5 acre lot and a beautiful home with all the fine finishings at a very compatible price! Many of the builders in the area charge the same prices as National but the key is you won't get as much land at the same price‼ If you are looking for no restrictions & no HOA and have not purchased land yet, National is the best choice‼

When it came to the day of closing they said about 3 to 4 weeks more. I asked them to call back and give us a firm date and time or we may cancel. To everyones surprise that listened to the phone conversation that I was on with this construction company, the construction company just cancelled it without calling us back and gave the money to the previous seller that does not own the home anymore. I called the construction company again today to ask them when they were coming and they said we cancelled the deal. I asked could they give me proof in writing of all this and have yet to hear a word back by phone or email. All I can say is I would never do business with this company. Beware if you do.

In my opinion you might want to really do some research on this company 3 Strong Handyman Services…read morebefore hiring. I contracted with this company to build a 3 season room on my existing deck and then add a new deck. He was given a deposit so he could add the project on his schedule and then 2 1/2 months later he requested money si he can start purchasing materials for the project. For the next 7 months after he received the payment for the materials he continued to have excuse after excuse why the project hasn't been started/finished. At that point I canceled the project completely and requested a full refund. He claimed not to have any of the money I gave him and that he would need to pay me back over the next 7 months. He made 1 payment and then reneged on the 2nd. He then decided to take this to a judge in Kane County since that's the county I dwell in, because now he can't pay me the amount he originally agreed upon. Court date is coming up next month.

When I met Gerald (Keileen MG), I got a good feeling in my gut that he was a person I could work…read morewith and one that would do a good job. I did my due diligence, including considering a few other companies - in the end I came back to Gerald for a handful of reasons including value and availability. Description of Job: Respositioning upper and lower kitchen cabinets to open space for a 48" commercial stove, installation of a vent hood, respsitioning electrical outlets, tiling of backsplash, modifying lower cabinet to install a drawer microwave and installing a new single bowl kitchen sink. Gerald and team did a FANTASTIC job. I would say that I am a very discerning consumer, with a keen eye for quality and aesthetics. They tuned into that pretty early on, and as such made choices and recommendations that suit my style and needs. It is always nice to work with someone who is willing to do a little more than necessary for the client. These guys were willing to pick up the appliances from the vendor - no small feat for a stove that weighs 670lbs. I didn't go to the store once. My home was treated with respect and each night they returned it to a usable state for me and my family. I hope in some little way this review is meaningful for Gerald and team, or for a consumer looking to hire a contractor. These guys work hard, they are honest and will give you value for the price you pay. When you see that, you respect it as it isn't always the case.

Do not trust this business. My experience working with Gerald was a total nightmare. I was…read moresupposed to get a complete renovation in 6 -8 weeks so I could move in and after 6 months the job was not even half done. It was a constant struggle getting him to send anybody to work when he's was supposed to work 5 days a week until complete. When I was able to get in touch with him he pressed me hard for more money in advance. I paid him almost 90% in advance and he quit because I would not give him any more money. He owes me a large refund and he will not return any calls or text. Legal actions will be my next step.

The guy came out and measured said everything was good to go. He ordered the stuff the next morning and he called to set up for the installation. They came and did a beautiful job. I couldn't have asked for better. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to everyone.

We saw Southern doing a demo at a Riverdogs game in downtown Charleston, so I stopped and inquired about getting an estimate. They literally had someone calling to set up an appointment the next business day. Our gutters look great and have been performing wonderfully since last June (2016). They had 0% interest financing for 1 year, so we jumped right on it. I still don't understand why there are so few homes with gutters in the south. Boggles my mind.

We were also in the process of removing all the wood paneling from the walls and tearing up the carpet, and he offered to take that project on as well. He provided a very fair quote, maybe even not high enough, and worked hard every day with his team to get the job done in a timely manner. He even uncovered several other problems during the process and his team fixed those as well at a fair price. The new drywall, painting, and flooring all looks great!
