Question 1

Do you serve Clemson, Pickens County?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Four Seasons Building & Remodeling works Clemson every week. Clemson's mix of historic university-area homes and lake properties calls for two very different skill sets — we handle both with equal care. As a fully licensed SC general contractor (License #RB52147), we handle every permit and inspection required for general contractor services in Pickens County.

Question 2

How quickly can you start a general contractor services project in Clemson?

Accepted Answer

Most Clemson general contractor services projects can be scoped within a week of your free consultation. Build start depends on permitting and material lead times, but our local crews and supplier relationships keep Pickens County projects moving faster than most out-of-area contractors.

Question 3

What does a general contractor actually do?

Accepted Answer

A general contractor manages your entire project under one contract — scoping the work, pulling permits, hiring and scheduling the subcontractors (plumbers, electricians, HVAC, tile, etc.), ordering materials, coordinating inspections, and standing behind the finished work. Instead of you juggling five separate trades and hoping they show up in the right order, you have one licensed point of contact accountable for the timeline, the budget, and the quality across every phase of the job.

Question 4

Is Four Seasons Building & Remodeling a licensed general contractor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Four Seasons Building & Remodeling holds South Carolina general contractor license RB52147 and North Carolina license L.109498, and we're fully insured. Licensing matters because in South Carolina, unlicensed contractors can't legally pull permits above certain project thresholds, and permitted work protects you at resale and with your insurer. You can ask any Upstate contractor for their license number — a legitimate GC will give it to you without hesitation.

Question 5

Do I need permits for my remodel, and who handles them?

Accepted Answer

Most structural, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and additions work in Upstate SC requires permits from your city or county building department, and we pull and manage those permits as part of the job. Unpermitted work can stall a home sale, void insurance claims, and force expensive rework to bring it up to code. As your general contractor, we handle the applications, coordinate the inspections, and make sure the finished project is properly closed out with the jurisdiction.

Question 6

How does general contractor pricing work?

Accepted Answer

A general contractor's fee is typically 10–20% of the total project cost, which covers project management, scheduling, permit coordination, subcontractor oversight, and warranty accountability. On our projects that fee is built into a single fixed-price written contract rather than billed as a surprise line item, so you know the full number before work starts. The percentage tends to be higher on smaller, more complex jobs and lower on large builds where the base cost is bigger.

Question 7

When do I need a general contractor versus a handyman?

Accepted Answer

A handyman is the right call for small, single-trade tasks — hanging a door, patching drywall, minor repairs — that don't require permits. You need a licensed general contractor when a project involves multiple trades, structural changes, permits, or inspections: additions, whole-home renovations, kitchen and bath remodels, and anything that touches load-bearing walls, plumbing, or electrical. Using a GC on permit-required work keeps you code-compliant and protects your investment at resale.

Question 8

Can one general contractor handle my whole project across different trades?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's the core value of hiring a GC. We self-perform and coordinate remodeling, additions, roofing, siding, windows, flooring, tile, and full interior renovations, so a project that touches five different trades still runs under one contract, one schedule, and one warranty. That single point of accountability is what prevents the finger-pointing and scheduling gaps that plague projects where a homeowner has to hire and manage each trade separately.
