Our Story — A Family Legacy of Craftsmanship and the Golden Rule
My construction experience started long before I could even walk!
When I was born here in Charleston, South Carolina, my grandfather owned and operated a mobile home park with 65 lots. In this photograph, I'm just one year old, sitting on a roof while my grandfather makes repairs. He positioned me against the roof vent to keep me from rolling off!
Growing up, I was always by my grandfather's side, learning how to fix, repair, and build things. By the time I was seven years old, I thought every kid knew how to replace a toilet, change an electrical outlet, and make household repairs. I eventually discovered that wasn't the case!
Those early experiences taught me something that has stayed with me my entire life: If you're going to do something, do it right the first time.
I later followed in my grandfather's footsteps by serving in the United States Navy, where I learned the importance of discipline, responsibility, and attention to detail.
Today, I bring those same values to every project we undertake through Carlton Custom Homes, Golden Property Renovations, and Hurry Up Handyman.
Why the Name Golden Property Renovations?
I named Golden Property Renovations after something I believe in deeply: The Golden Rule — Treat others as you would want to be treated.
That principle is the foundation of how we do business.
Whether we're building a custom home, completing a major renovation, or handling a small household repair, I treat every customer's home as if it were my own.
We don't believe in cutting corners or simply covering up problems. We believe in finding the cause, fixing it correctly, and providing lasting solutions designed to prevent the same problems from happening again.
I believe our customers deserve the same quality, honesty, respect, and fair pricing that I would expect if someone were working on my own home.
That's what the Golden Rule means to me, and that's what I expect from everyone working on our projects.
Our commitment is simple: Quality craftsmanship, honest service, attention to detail, and fair pricing.
These aren't just business principles. They're values passed down from my grandfather that I have carried with me for more than 50 years.
