Quality You Can See. Craftsmanship You Can Feel.
Built on Hard Work. Grounded in Real Relationships.
Upgrade Construction & Design started during the COVID era, after our founder moved from New York City to South Carolina with a simple goal: help people and do good work.
It began with handyman services for local realtors — small repairs, punch lists, and the jobs that needed to get done before a closing. Word traveled the way it does in a small town: one neighbor told another, and one realtor told the next.
That work grew into a family-owned construction and remodeling company with more than 12 team members, work trucks, and heavy equipment of our own.
Even with the growth, we are still focused on the same things: taking care of our neighbors, doing work the right way, and making every project matter.

Closing date coming up? We’ve got your punch list.
Inspection repairs, closing punch lists, and last-minute home sale improvements require a dependable contractor who understands timelines. Our team helps keep projects moving, communication clear, and home sales on track.
Schedule-sensitive requests are flagged for priority review. Timing is confirmed with you directly — we do not publish guaranteed turnaround times.
Inspection Addendum Repairs
Items from the inspection report handled by a crew that reads them correctly.
Pre-Closing Punch Lists
Small, specific fixes tracked and closed out before the walk-through.
Move-In Repairs
The fixes waiting for you at the new house, done before you unpack.
Realtor Coordination
One point of contact who understands deadlines and keeps you informed.
Built on Trust. Backed by Relationships.
We are not going to post reviews we do not have. What we can tell you is how this company keeps its customers: by showing up, communicating plainly, and doing the work the right way.
Our Review Standard“Many of our customers tell us they would rather wait for us than hire someone else. That loyalty comes from treating people like neighbors, not transactions.”
Why customers wait
“We have never stopped taking the small jobs. That is how this business was built, and we still believe every customer matters.”
No job too small
“Inspection repairs and closing punch lists mean working under pressure. We are comfortable with that, and we keep you informed the whole way.”

If your project is unusual or you are not sure where it fits, tell us about it and we will let you know honestly whether it is a good fit for our crew.
Yes. Many contractors pass on smaller work, and we deliberately do not. Repairs, fixture replacements, minor carpentry, and punch-list items are how this company started, and we still take them on today.
