SC • HVAC Renovation • 5.0

★★★★★

”We recently purchased an older home in SC knowing some work would be required before leaving our home state. We turned to our many long-term acquaintances in the area for contractor recommendations. Repeatedly, Baldwin Builders came up on the top of every list. We engaged them to oversee our major HVAC renovation project after they provided the most competitive price of all bids. Baldwin Builders was sensitive to our absence during the project and contacted us almost daily with project status and solutions to any unforeseen challenges. Just before our return to SC, we were notified they completed the final inspection of the project and the subcontractor was returning that day to rectify one minor punch item. I would characterize Baldwin Builders as a company of uncompromising integrity and pro-active communicators who provide professional oversight of projects. We will use them for ALL our planned project here in SC!”

Cherry Grove Beach • Full Home Remodel • 5.0

★★★★★

”We were referred to Baldwin Builders by a friend and are so pleased. Our newly purchased vacation condo needed to be completely painted, bedroom flooring replaced to match existing, a new kitchen fixture and desk area built. The tricky part was coordinating this while living 3 states away. George walked the property, gave great suggestions and had a proposal to us in a few days. There was alot of coordination needed to gather materials but he didn’t miss a beat and took it all in stride. His communication with calls and photos and his responsiveness was fantastic. They matched the existing flooring perfectly and made my workspace vision come to fruition. If you want quality work done, call Baldwin Builders. You won’t be disappointed.”

Myrtle Beach • Bathroom Remodel • 5.0

★★★★★

”I have nothing but great things to say about Baldwin Builders. I had a guest bathroom remodel done by them and it turned out amazing. They paid attention to detail, cleanliness and finished the job within a short/appropriate amount of time. I would definitely recommend this young, professional, up-incoming business to anyone for home repair/updating needs.”

North Myrtle Beach • Full Home Remodel • 5.0

★★★★★

”I could not be happier with the quality and service that both Larson and George provided. From the initial consultation to delivery, they were thorough, honest, and attentive. Within a few days, they were able to do an extensive door replacement and structural repair. I own several rental properties in the area and this was the first group I’ve worked with that did not over promise and under deliver. I could not recommend them enough. Thank you Larson, George, and Baldwin Builders.”

What does a general contractor do for a project on James Island?

A general contractor manages scheduling, trades, materials, inspections, and closeout so the work is handled as one coordinated project.
