"Poor quality work. Monty and his sons finished our project just over a year ago. We have had problems with every aspect of the work that was done - plumbing, electric, HVAC, cabinets/drawers, flooring, tile, appliance installation. Most recently was a $300 bill to reinstall the garbage disposal that Monty and his sons incorrectly installed. The plumber said he'd never seen such a lazy job done. For the record, I presented Monty a list of issues a year ago and instead of fixing them, he walked out on us. So please think twice before working with this company that claims they are "built on trust and focused on quality.""

Specializing in Hardscape, Pavers, Concrete, Fences, Retaining Walls, Decks, Exterior Design, Drainage, Epoxy Flooring, Landscape Design, Outdoor Lighting, and more! We've been creating dream outdoor spaces for our clients across the Lowcountry since 2020. Our owner and founder, Charleston native Tyler Prowell, continues to lead our professional team.

"We would give zero (0) stars if that was available. We were extremely frustrated and disappointed with Tyler Prowell/Prowell Construction and now appear to be out over $16,000.00. We hired Tyler Prowell/Prowell Construction for a backyard project and ran into numerous issues. We paid a partial deposit of over $27,000.00 in August 2022 for upfront costs and project materials and work started October 2022. A privacy fence was built, our backyard and patio were excavated, and a drain pipe was installed between October 2022 and January 2023. So after 15 months of limited to no progress, limited communication, and a variety of excuses; we had to terminate the contract in January 2024. Upon termination, Tyler Prowell/Prowell Construction stated via email that he would begin the process of returning the over $16,000.00 balance due for work that we paid to have done but he never completed. We have not received any of the remaining $16,000.00 to date. We have attempted numerous times to contact Tyler Prowell/Prowell Construction, along with our attorneys, but he has not responded to any form of communication. We now have to hire a different contractor to repair the damage to our backyard and complete the project."

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Charleston, SC

For many homeowners, building up is worth the expense because it provides the extra bedrooms or living areas that can’t be accommodated within the existing footprint. A larger, updated home often commands a higher resale price, recouping a sizable share of the project cost while allowing you to stay in the neighborhood you love. Run the numbers with a real estate agent and contractor to ensure the expected return and day-to-day benefits align with your goals.

Whether it makes more sense to build up or out depends on your lot, budget, and local code. Building up preserves yard space and involves less foundation work, but you may need to vacate the home during construction. Building out avoids staircases and can proceed while you stay put; however, it encroaches on the yard and may face setback limits. Compare both options with your contractor before making a decision.

A structural engineer will first inspect the existing foundation for cracks, footings, and load capacity. Depending on the findings, the crew may pour new concrete footings, install steel or concrete piers, add reinforced beams, or tie additional rebar into the slab. These upgrades redistribute the weight of the new floor and bring the structure up to code. Your contractor will outline the specific reinforcement plan and timeline once the engineering report is complete.
