Back in May, we met with Ernie from B-Line Fencing for a quote on a new fence installation. After…read morereceiving HOA approval, we proceeded with signing a contract and paying a deposit. Unfortunately, our experience quickly became frustrating and disappointing. Just days before our scheduled installation, we were informed that the job required a permit from the City of Rock Hill--a detail Ernie, as the professional, should have known and addressed upfront. The project was put on hold indefinitely. From there, we were repeatedly asked for additional documents, such as our plat, HOA approval letter, and later, specific approval related to an easement on our property. While I complied with each request, it was frustrating to keep learning about new requirements only after we had already entered into a contract. Ernie eventually told me the permit had been denied and mentioned that dealing with Rock Hill's permitting process had become a "nightmare." The last request I received was for an HOA easement approval letter, which I provided despite my growing frustration. I never received a response after that. When I followed up by phone, I was informed that Ernie had decided to cancel the job altogether and did not want to deal with it anymore. I did receive a refund of my deposit, along with a letter referencing several phone conversations from B-Line's office. One of these claims--alleging a call on July 24th with a dismissive response from a man who answered my phone--is completely inaccurate. No such call occurred, and I suspect the wrong number was being used. I'm sharing this review so future customers are aware of what we went through. We're now back to square one, starting the process over with another contractor. While we understand that permits and approvals can be challenging, much of this could have been avoided with better communication and preparation from B-Line.

It is hard to express how happy I am with the work that RG Stonemind provided me. I had a very…read morelarge, all brick chimney that was probably multiple tons of brick leaning toward my house. We had it supported by braces, and if it fell, it would have dropped on my living area where my family hangs out. Their team knew the difficulty of this, removed every single brick, one at a time and carefully removed them, with no damage or any issues at all. Once down, RG Stonemind then completely rebuilt the chimney framing from scratch. Way beyond my expectations. The prior one built by a very, very reputable home builder in the late 90s does not even compare to the quality RG built, as I saw it going up and the emphasis they put on the structure. Then, the process of the stucco was amazing. RG Stonemind has a fantastic stucco guy, Sergio, and he was amazing in his work. The chimney is phenomenal and matches the overall architecture of the rest of the house with the other stucco around the windows. I have had just about every neighbor compliment me on the new chimney and said it exceeded their expectations when they first saw it going up. I believe RG Stonemind is more known for its stone masonry, but I would recommend them for any chimney work with the highest rating. I couldn't be more pleased!! You can see the before (brick chimney leaning) and the after (stucco chimney). Thank you RG Stonemind!!

They offered expert advice and workmanship to give me the exact look I wanted, and were very meticulous about every detail, including leaving my property neat and tidy each day.

I highly recommend this group of artisan stonemasons and trust you will be as pleased with their work as I am.

Derun Construction Inc. is run by brothers Paul & Ivan Derun. I've had the opportunity to utilize…read moreDerun to fully remodel a ~40 year old Screen Porch and highly recommend their services. Rather than stating that they're great to work with (which they truly are) let me elaborate on my actual experience. Given I was seeking to remodel an existing porch structure in a pretty significant way, I initially enlisted the services of a structural engineering firm to create drawings for me. Thereafter, I began interviewing prospective contractors to perform the work laid out in the drawings and was quite surprised at the relative indifference and/or opposition shown by several contractors toward the existence of the plans - most claimed there wasn't a need for them or attempted to tell me how engineers just overcomplicate things. Paul, on the other hand, was actually delighted to know that I had these engineering plans in hand and went over them with me at our very first meeting. He was intelligent enough to realize that if he followed the engineering drawings, as laid out; he would have no issues in getting the project through the county code enforcement process which would be a win for both him, as a contractor, and me, as the client. Paul takes a lot of pride in his work and he works hard to please his customers. By nature, I am a very particular individual; and being a Realtor by profession, makes me even more so. Paul took all of my feedback in stride and did everything he could to meet my exacting standards. There were days when I literally hovered over him and his team; more so to learn from them (given my profession) rather than to supervise - but I'm quite sure this couldn't have been a lot of fun for him and the crew. In the few instances where my expectation on certain things happened to exceed the underlying project scope; Paul was very diplomatic in pointing this out to me and we quickly found common ground such that I wasn't compromising his profit margins and was able to fulfill my desires. I also wanted a proper estimate on the front end; as well as, a full paper trail of the project - including change orders - which Paul readily supplied. Paul's pricing was fair and the project was completed within the cost margins of error and project timeline I had planned for. I had a vision for what the porch would look like when completed and Paul provided a lot of good feedback in making my vision a reality. We talked through a lot of different things like material choices, design, electrical outlet locations etc. I'll conclude by saying Paul is just a genuinely good person....period; and anyone who opts to work with him is in good hands. Thank you Paul, Ivan and the rest of the team!

Once my wife and I decided to replace the deck on the back of our house, I set out to find a…read morebuilder among the many deck builders online. By good fortune I selected The Deck Builder to visit. Woody spent 2 hours or so discussing options and his own vision of the completed deck. He had samples of decking colors and railings in his truck. We had him quote his suggestions. The project also included new screen on the adjacent screened porch and a new door between the deck and the porch. We had decided our maximum price for the project in advance and were delighted when the quote was lower than our limit. Woody does the work himself and builds only decks. He filed for a building permit. I doubt many deck builders do that. We had periodic inspections. Woody's philosophy is that if you "build to code" you meet minimal standards. Woody said, "If you meet minimal standards, you get a minimal deck." For example, the code specifies the number of pillars that support the deck above the ground. They must be in the ground and packed with dirt. Woody installed more than minimal number and set them in concrete. There were other examples. Woody kept us informed of work planned in the next few days. The job site was kept to a minimum and packed up at the end of the day. Find The Deck Builder LLC on the Web and look at his remarkable work. Have him visit. You will be delighted by the deck he builds for you.
