HOME REMODELING
High-end residential construction in the Charleston Lowcountry requires more than just a labor force—it demands a dedicated local partner. At Stono Construction, we provide proven project management, specialized craftsmanship, structural discipline, and absolute transparency required to bring complex residential builds to life.
We are a fully licensed, bonded, and insured boutique builder with over 20 years of hands-on experience across the Charleston market. We focus strictly on executing architectural plans for high-end custom homes, structural footprint expansions, and major whole-home remodeling.
Because we are boutique by design, we intentionally limit our annual workload to maintain an elite level of care. This ensures that a principal of our company manages your project directly and maintains a physical presence on your job site every single day work is active—offering an intimate, face-to-face partnership from your first site evaluation until moving day.
CORE AREAS OF BUILDING EXPERTISE
We specialize in multi-trade coordination, navigating complex structural environments, and delivering precise, dependable project management based strictly on your architect’s specifications.
CUSTOM HOME BUILDING
Learn More
Building a custom estate from scratch requires careful planning, oversight, and communication, as well as consideration for environmental concerns, site work, neighboring properties, and other potentially sensitive variables. We can build on your lot in the Lowcountry. From evaluating raw acreage, utility routing, and septic constraints on the sea islands to managing tight urban footprints downtown, we can build your home to endure our coastal climate.
SEAMLESS HOME ADDITIONS
Learn More
When you love your current address but have outgrown its layout, a home addition allows you to stay right where you already like to be. We construct complex main-level footprint expansions, vertical second-story additions, and detached Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) or garage apartments.
WHOLE-HOME REMODELING
Learn More
Transform the internal flow, open-concept capability, and modern functionality of an established home. Many of our projects include down-to-the-studs remodeling, structural load-bearing wall modifications, FROG conversions, and major kitchen and bathroom overhauls. Our team excels at managing the hidden structural, electrical, and plumbing variables common inside older Lowcountry homes.
The Stono Construction Operational Standards
We believe a smooth building experience relies entirely on professional rigor, strict business systems, and clear documentation. We protect your investment through a defined set of operating principles:
DAILY PRINCIPAL SUPERVISION
An owner of the company will typically visit your job site every day that work is active.
STRICT PLAN EXECUTION
We build strictly from your provided architectural plans. We collaborate closely with your chosen architect or design professional during the pre-construction phase to ensure their creative concepts align perfectly with real-world constructability and engineering.
ITEMIZED PRICING INTEGRITY
We provide an itemized, line-item breakdown of your project based on your architectural plans, structural engineering, and other such documents, as well as numerous inputs from you on specifications, incorporating realistic finish allowances and a healthy contingency for older structures.
FORMAL SCOPE DOCUMENTATION
Communication is treated with professional accountability. If an unexpected condition arises or you choose to adjust your scope, the update is formally recorded via a signed change order detailing exact pricing and timeline impacts. No work begins on a change until you review and approve it.
HYPER LOCAL REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
We possess deep familiarity with local building parameters, including municipal FEMA “50% Rules” for flood-zone renovations, DHEC septic criteria, strict Board of Architectural Review (BAR) standards and neighborhood-specific HOA guidelines.
CERTIFIED LEAD-SAFE EXECUTION
When modifying homes built prior to 1978, structural alterations can disturb older lead-based paint. As an EPA-certified Lead-Safe Firm, Stono Construction follows strict containment and field-testing protocols to keep your family’s health completely protected.
