William Payne is focused on quality contracting and on providing the best service to every one. I am a Member of Pickens county Builders association and have a Business LLC in Cherokee county ,permit, remodeling, and I run into a lot of so call tire kickers and don't think every one know /W/C, General liability, auto insurance for coming in and out of subdivisions, plus lot of years infield training, have and will do most all phases of remodeling from A to Z we support fix up paint up clean up/can we be of help
"We started on May the first and completed this weekend 6/28/00. We did have a delay of a couple of weeks because of the double hung double windows 60" x 72" windows. Also we originally were just going to do the 12x15 screened in porch and leave the 10x12 deck that was attached alone. By the end of it we had enclosed the entire 12x25 of porch and deck opened up the wall in 3 spots two to allow walking through and one that we are putting shelves in to give light to the existing living room. The bottom line it took a bit longer then expected and sometimes we were wanting things to go faster then the builder could get done, but bottom line it was done well and when complete, was better then expected. We did some of the contracting for our floors but I know our builder would have done it as well we just wanted a bit more control. William is a bit of a character just a good old boy from here in the south. Don't let that put you off he does a good job and was very fare in his price and after our experience with the last builder we had a refreshing change. I would recommend him to do any remodeling work that you have."

The ideal depth for a root cellar depends on your local frost line and climate conditions. The goal is to achieve a consistent temperature between 32°F and 60°F year-round. In warmer southern regions, you may need deeper excavation or supplemental cooling systems, while northern areas focus more on preventing freezing.
Understanding your soil composition and water table is essential for determining appropriate depth and drainage needs to maintain a stable environment for your stored produce.
Most municipalities require permits for root cellar construction, particularly for projects involving excavation or structural modifications. Permit costs range from $1,200 to $2,000, depending on your location.
The application process often requires submitting detailed plans showing drainage solutions and structural elements. Checking local regulations early in your planning process helps avoid potential fines or construction delays, especially for projects near property lines or those requiring utility connections.
Professional root cellar construction spans several weeks, with timelines varying based on design complexity and weather conditions. The process includes initial excavation, foundation work, structural construction, ventilation installation, and finishing touches. Permit processing and inspections add to the timeline.
Working with experienced professionals results in more efficient completion compared to DIY approaches, though seasonal factors and contractor availability can affect scheduling.
Concrete represents the most common material choice for permanent root cellars due to its durability and moisture resistance. For above-ground structures, properly sealed pressure-treated lumber offers good performance at lower cost.
Effective insulation is crucial regardless of construction type, with different materials suited to various climate conditions. Quality doors with proper seals help maintain consistent internal conditions, while corrosion-resistant hardware ensures longevity in humid environments.
Most produce stores work best at humidity levels between 80% and 90%. A hygrometer (costing approximately $25) helps monitor conditions accurately. For low humidity, placing containers of water or damp materials in the cellar can increase moisture levels.
When humidity rises too high, improving air circulation through adjustable vents helps reduce excess moisture. Different crops may require varying humidity levels, so organizing your storage accordingly helps optimize preservation. Regular maintenance prevents condensation buildup and potential mold issues.
