"They make life easy and projects exceptional. Grateful to have them in Lexington, SC! We worked with Palmetto Renovations from fall of 2023 through February of this year and we should have connected with their design specialty showroom and staff years ago as our home has never looked better. Our kitchen finally features real stone quartzite with a blend of stunning LVP waterproof flooring, elegant tiled backsplash and an entirely new lighting system from chandeliers to the under cabinet lighting. They replaced a window in the bay area to match the exterior clad. All trim was stained and by the time things were wrapped up, there were no imperfections to even address. It was an experience to brag about."

"Steve with Lakeside Construction was professional and handled all aspects of getting us a new roof installed. From start to finish we were impressed with this company. They handled our new roof replacement including insurance submission with punctuality and professionalism. We can't be happier with all aspects of this company including the office/billing staff and project manager. We would happily recommend Lakeside Construction to anyone in need of a new roof!"

"Mack designed, ordered materials, provided labor and finished the job in a timely manner (2 weeks and 3 days). 
I paid 1/3 up front, 1/3 when the walls and ceiling was complete and the final 1/3 when I was completely satisfied with the results. 
I did go down to the county office to purchase the building permit. "

"This company provided excellent service.  I had a mail box that needed repairs and reinstalled.  This company professionally repaired my mail box.  They added new parts, cement, and paint to give my mail box a new look.  Further, they added weather stripping to my garage door to block a gap.  My garage door did not reach the ground due to uneven pavement.  I would definitely use this company again for future repairs.

"Scott Buff is a very talented person.  He has great ideas about remodeling homes.  He just has a eye for helping you make the right decisions about what materials to use and the color schemes.  He is very trust worthy in what he says he will do and his prices are very competitive.  You know old saying "You pay for what you get".  The workmanship is beautiful.  I can't begin to tell you all the compliments that I have had on all the remodeling that has been done to my house.  The first thing people ask me is, who did the work because they did a great job.  It makes me feel proud to know I chose such a wonderful company to represent me.  I am thinking about getting my greatroom painted.  Guess who will do it?  Cultured creations.

"Arrived on time and while Mike got busy power washing the house and driveway, Christian handled a number of indoor tasks such as fixing a cabinet door and curtain rod. He installed a new laundry door that first needed trimming to fit the space and figured out that a ceiling fan was not really broken thus saving me $$$. He also inspected the water heater (20 years old) and relayed that it was still in good working order. When I do replace it I will call CHC for sure. Thanks guys!!"

"I worked with Apex Construction for both the design and construction of my renovations project. We converted our pole building into a mother-in-law suite. It turned out even better than I expected. It can be difficult finding people whose quality and integrity you can trust at a fair price. I will definitely use Apex again and again."

FAQs for garage building service projects in Columbia, SC

A well‑constructed, properly permitted detached garage adds between $12,000 and $36,000 to a home’s resale value. Buyers appreciate the secure parking, extra storage, and flexible workspace, so appraisers often bump the property’s value accordingly. The exact return depends on the garage’s size, finishes, and how well it matches the main house, but most homeowners see a strong ROI when the build meets local codes and passes inspection.

Yes—once it meets local building codes and you secure the proper permits, a detached garage can be converted into living space. Finishing the interior, adding climate control, and ensuring safe egress effectively increase your usable square footage, though it may not always count toward the official listing. Skipping permits can trigger fines and even force you to undo the work, so always clear plans with your city first.

Most homeowners policies cover a detached garage under the “other structures” provision, but coverage limits vary. Review your declarations page and ask your agent how much protection you have for separate structures. If the limit is lower than the garage’s replacement cost, you can raise it for a modest premium. Confirming the details now prevents headaches if you ever need to file a claim.
