"I couldn't be happier with the work Bob did on my deck! From start to finish, the process was seamless—he was professional, reliable, and truly skilled. The deck looks absolutely amazing, with attention to every detail. He also kept the area clean and worked efficiently without cutting corners. If you're looking for someone who takes pride in their work and delivers outstanding results, I highly recommend Handyman Bob!!"

"Dennis and his assistant, Manuel were absolutely wonderful. Work was completed on time and is immaculate. They cleaned up after themselves daily and worked hard throughout the day. I am highly pleased with their work and work ethics. They were also friendly with my dogs. I felt totally comfortable being in my house with them alone, as a female. I will always look to them for future projects, I plan to call them for kitchen remodeling in the future."

"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."

"Great - we needed the work done quickly and Avery fit us in and actually came to the house at 9 pm to get it started so it could be done in a couple of days. He finished the work on time and did a fantastic job. Very professional at a very reasonable price."

"We initially contacted Gage Construction in March 2014 to bid on a detached dwelling for a home office.  Matt responded to my request immediately and he walked through some items we would need to finalize before he could move forward on the bid process. After some thought we opted to look at potential options to our existing home.  After a number of drafts we contacted Gage for a proposal as well as several contractors. <br />  Matt with Gage Construction was by far the most professional, thorough and patient through the changes we were making.  One of the things that impressed us the most was that Matt coordinated all the contractors on one day to review the plans, walk thru the home and I overhead Matt tell the crews that they needed to take time to review and make sure that they quoted accordingly because he did not want to come back to the homeowner and tell us that there was an additional charge.  We also stated that we wanted to make sure there was constant communication and no surprises.  One of our main points was that we had small children in the home and safety for our family was key.  Matt assured us that it would not be an issue as they knew the crews and at any point if we were not comfortable then he would take immediate action.   <br /> Once we signed the contract from Matt, he introduced us to PJ (Project Manager) but Matt was not out of the picture because PJ was supervising the project.  NOTE:  We lived in our home during the construction with 2 little kids so needless to say it was not easy (not because of Gage - it was just more than we had anticipated).  I do want to start by saying that PJ was awesome to work with and he handled all of our questions, concerns, and he went beyond to make sure that the project ran smoothly.  The crews were very nice and respectful and we were comfortable with everyone who came to our home.  We took on a much bigger project than we anticipated and we could not have done it with Matt and PJ.  One thing I loved was that if something was bothering me that may of been minor or common, PJ made sure that I was comfortable and addressed all our needs as if it was priority.  PJ was onsite daily and multiple times in one day if needed.  He took on the responsibility to make sure he handled all items and took initiative to make recommendations presenting both the positive and negative.  I could not imagine another project manager other than PJ.  Matt and PJ were very personable and just fun.  We were able to joke and be comfortable because after all they were in our home daily for months.  Our project extended into the holidays and I was adamant about having a Christmas tree and being able to celebrate the holidays with family.  Both Matt and PJ said it would be pushing very close to the holidays and they could not guarantee completion.  They under promised and over delivered because we were able to celebrate the holidays.  There were several items not completed but he coordinated with our schedule and respected our time.   <br /> My husband is a financial man and we had spreadsheets for the proposal, change orders, etc weekly to make sure that we were not exceeding our proposed costs.  We did have some issues that arose during construction that increased our costs however everything was presented up front and any additional costs were a change we made and approved. <br /> I would be lying if I said that there were no hiccups however they were addressed and rectified immediately.  My husband is all about exceeding expectations and Gage was able to go above and beyond for us even if it was  not a fault or an issue caused by Gage.   <br /> We are extremely happy with how our home turned out and our experience with Gage.  I would recommend Gage to everyone looking for quality, professional work.  We have additional plans for our home and future projects and Gage is on the top of our list.  I know we were probably not the easiest client to work for as there was constant changes by us but they took them in stride and never made us feel as though we were a burden or too difficult.  There were times that I "vented" to PJ and he could have easily said whatever lady - but he listened and then made any adjustments necessary.  Sometimes it was just getting it out because living in a construction zone can cause some stress and anxiety.  If I were to change anything I would have taken the recommendation of Matt and PJ and moved out during construction because it was a big undertaking.  Although we didn't, they made any attempt to make sure we were comfortable, the job site was broom swept or  mopped and all trash was cleaned up daily.  We have been completed for several months and both Matt and PJ have been in contact to make sure they followed up to see if we needed anything or how everything was going. <br /> l waited a while to write a review for them because although I was very satisfied once the project was complete, I wanted to see the after the project communication. If there was an issue, which we have had some minor ones and their response time was just as quick as during the project.   <br /> Everyone knows that a construction project is not easy and there are always hiccups in the road however I feel as though if we selected another contractor we would not have received the attention and thoroughness as we did with Gage.   <br /> We would highly recommend Gage to anyone looking to build or renovate.  Gage takes pride in their work and reputation and we have experienced that first hand.  We have opened our homes to potential clients and we were very honest about our experiences with Gage.  Clients of Gage were kind enough to open their homes to us  when I wanted to see completed and in progress projects and it gives you an opportunity to hear their experiences and witness the interactions.  I will continue to open our home to potential clients of Gage and share our experience and answer any questions about our project and experience.  I cannot say enough about how satisfied we were with Matt and PJ. <br /> <br />"

"We’ve been real pleased with them. It’s a little family run business and they do an excellent job. They are actually coming out next week and we use the sentricon bait system, so they would be coming out and checking the bait system. We’ve been real pleased with them. They are a termite protection, so we use them on an on-going basis. What they do is they maintain it, but they come out several times a year and check the bait stations. We have a contract with them, so it’s an on-going contract. I think they come every 3 months. They check the little bait traps every 3 months. We pay $3,500 a year for our termite protection. We’re pleased with the price and the quality. If we’re not pleased with people we don’t use them. If we use them they’re an “A” or we don’t use them anymore. We’ve been using them on-going for several years."

"I tried to build a cabinet which was in pieces.  The pieces were in a mess, and totally spread around.  I called.  The handyman was here within a couple of hours, and finished putting the piece together in no more than hour.  He was efficient and I would use him again. <br />"

FAQs for garage building service projects in West 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.
