Michaels Construction, LLC, is an established business with over 15 years of unmatched expertise. Customers are always our first priority. We are timely with our work and never lose attention to detail.
"Steven and his crew saved us from construction purgatory. After we had a dishwasher leak, the floors under our kitchen island were soaked and needed replacing - a prior company came and gutted our kitchen (no island, no sink, no dishwasher, no flooring), then ghosted us for the rebuild. After months desperately looking for someone to fix our kitchen, thankfully a neighbor recommended me to Steven. Steven immediately jumped to action and had my floors installed within a week or two - we could finally stop tripping over jagged wood / staples! He guided me on how to order my cabinets so we would receive the right products (and saved us money in the process). He was communicative as we awaited their delivery, and once they were in he had his guys install them beautifully, and finish our island better than new. I am so grateful every day to have been connected with him. Steven even introduced us to the air switch for our garbage disposal - a modification that I've been loving! I will absolutely work with him and Michaels Construction again in the future, and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a contractor they can actually rely on."

Ashbusters Chimney Service of Charleston, SC is a local chimney services company operated by local chimney professionals that have been trained and certified on the principle of fire prevention. It doesn’t take long to come upon the devastation of fire up close and personal and we are determined to do whatever it takes to keep this from happening to our friends, our families and our communities. We understand that all fires are not preventable but we also know that when you do the necessary maintenance, you can rest assured that you have done everything in your power to prevent a fire in your home. The very act of taking action can and will prevent most fireplace and chimney mishaps. Clearance to combustibles is the most common reason home fires occur. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a chimney or a dryer; flammable materials near a heat source combined with oxygen are the perfect mix for disaster. Most homes today will have an electric or gas dryer plus a fireplace or wood stove of some kind. Just picture an open flame in the middle of your house and you might realize how important keeping it in check will be. Since 1985, Ashbusters Chimney Service has serviced over 35,000 chimneys
"Contacted to replace a gas log set they had installed 2 years ago when they charged $250. First they weren’t available for 10 days; second they raised their price to $400! I questioned the woman about the price increase and she made an excuse it was 2 years ago. I called Mount Pleasant Fireplace and Gas who did the job for $250 and 3 days after I called. I understand things are tough and could accept a higher price but a 60% increase is ridiculous."

Your general contractor should be able to refer you to a local framing contractor. An established relationship can lead to lower rates and better work. Interview contractors, trust your instincts, and choose a professional who's right for the job. Ensure you have a clear contract detailing the framing project.
Framing a house typically takes 5 to 8 weeks. Factors affecting this timeline include weather conditions, material shipment delays, crew size, and construction material weight. These elements impact the framing process, excluding external processes like permits or foundation work.
Framing costs are determined by multiplying your total square footage by a cost range of $7 to $16 per square foot. This calculation gives you a precise figure for the framing expenses. For projects that employ high‐end materials or custom designs, add an additional 5% to your total budget to account for premium work. This method provides a clear, accurate estimate for the overall framing project.
The framing cost covers labor and materials required to install wood, steel, or prefabricated frames that form your home’s structural skeleton. It includes building openings for windows, doors, and entryways. However, expenses for drywall installation, insulation, electrical systems, and finishing details are not included in these costs and must be estimated separately.
House framing is expensive because it requires high-quality materials and specialized labor to construct a durable and safe structural framework. The precision demanded during installation and the use of premium components drive up the costs significantly. Additionally, complex designs that necessitate extra detailing and reinforcement further increase the overall expense of framing.
