I know most people don’t care to read lengthy reviews, so I’ll sum up the experience in a sentence or two, and then you can read on if you’d care to get a bigger picture. Jonah (who was very communicative throughout the entire job) was on-time for all our meetings, came in on budget from the initial quote, and completed the job in the time frame promised – we really couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We had a couple of vinyl windows that had begun to warp and would no longer lock etc., so we contacted Jonah to get a quote to replace all four windows on the south side of the house. Jonah arrived right on time for our initial meeting, and took time to explain why the warping had happened (lower end builder grade windows) and what he’d recommend as a remedy for the issue. He was upbeat and clearly knowledgeable about what needed to be done, so In the end we wound up having Jonah quote us to replace all of the windows. There was no pressure on his part to do so, but we knew they’d all need to be done within the next few years, as we quickly realized during our first summer the original windows were far from energy efficient. Jonah said we’d have the quote by the end of the week, and by Thursday we had an email with a link to the quote. I have to say this was a great way of having an electronic record of the quote, and you can communicate back and forth easily about updates etc. The quote itself was very fair (from a labor perspective), and he’d given us an allowance based on each window size. We decided to move forward and per Jonah’s instruction we contacted his rep at Buck Lumber to setup an appointment to choose the actual windows (as a side note, I’d recommend Buck as well – great selection, knowledgeable staff, and delivery was exactly when they promised.) Jonah made it a point to be there when the Buck Lumber rep came to do the final measurements (which I thought was a great idea to avoid any miscommunication, as these were all special order windows.) A couple of weeks later Jonah circled back to say the windows were in, so we made arrangements for them to be delivered and schedule out the install. Jonah scheduled the install for within a week of the windows being delivered, and had them all installed within a couple of days. There were a couple of small curve balls once the original windows were removed, but Jonah and his crew handled the (framing) issues easily and at a very nominal charge – which was mostly for materials. They also did a great job with patching and painting the frames, and cleaned up as they went along. Our final bill came in right on budget and we couldn’t be happier with the overall experience. Highly recommended.

Canter Construction did a great job repairing my second floor ceiling. We had roof damage during Hurricane Matthew and subsequent leaking issues that made a mess of the drywall and paint on my second floor. Jonah was extremely responsive to my inquiry for a quote and provided me a very reasonable price for the repair. Wes and Hunter showed up on time, were friendly, worked hard to get the ceilings repaired and looking good again. I highly recommend Canter Construction services and will be working with them in the future on other projects to my home.

Jonah is awesome! We just bought a home and had a major fail with some popcorn ceiling that had been painted with oil based paint. Jonah took care of us and even swung by the house with a pack of craft beer as a house warming gift. Has answered phone calls when we have had new home owner freak outs and talked me through a couple of issues. Would highly recommend him and we are already planning on using him for another upcoming project.

I highly recommend Jonah and Wes! They did such a great job with my kitchen renovation and other random repairs. As a first time home-buyer, I truly appreciated what Jonah calls his "construction therapy," aka answering the million questions I had, which set me at ease. They kept things tidy and hauled out all debris, and were realistic with the timeline in which the work would be done.

Canter Construction is fantastic! Jonah, the owner, is friendly, personable, and knowledgable; taking time with his clients. Peter, a master craftsmen, is amazing at his woodwork. He designed and built our breakfast nook! It is beautiful and the detail is what I envisioned. I will call on them for any future home improvement needs from small to large scale. Thanks guys!

Will definitely go to Canter Construction SC again! We had some outside work to our place on Kiawah and Canter provided a reasonable estimate for the work. Kept us posted throughout the whole project. Work was completed on time and on estimate. We really appreciated the quality of the work and the open communication throughout. Would recommend them highly! D Yeager

Overwhelmingly happy with the bathroom remodel that Peter did for us. Very fast and efficient but not at the cost of amazing quality, the tile work is amazing. I would definitely recommend Canter Construction for any project as their work is impeccable and there were no surprises in budget or project length. We will for sure be using them again!!

Canter Construction is outstanding!! Not only did they adhere to schedule in the midst of a hurricane but also made remodeling a fun experience!! The workmen were professional, incredibly neat in their workspaces, kind and respectful of our time!! Peter was wonderful to work with as was Vincent. We plan to use them to remodel our kitchen next!!!

I recommend Canter Construction for all your household projects!! We had them screen in our deck, and it could not have turned out better. The guys who did the work were very professional, and extremely pleasant to work with. We have several other projects planned, and will definitely use Canter Construction for all of them.

My husband and I hired Canter Construction to do a garage conversion to a family room. They worked with us to come up with a design. The project was completed on time and we were highly satisfied. We continue to enjoy our new space and we highly recommend hiring Canter Construction for any job you may have.

Canter construction provided excellent service for the renovations of my patio. Installation of outdoor tile was done exactly the way I wanted it and their customer service was excellent. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a professional General contractor and we will be using them again.

As a Realtor, it is very difficult to find a reputable contractor who shows up when they say they will and finish the work professionally. We have had a wonderful several years with Canter Construction as one of our preferred contractors for our clients. We also use them for our personal residence.
