Tips for Starting a Home Remodeling Business in South Carolina

  • Get your contractor's license and insurance before your first job. Operating without them is illegal in most states and one lawsuit ends you.
  • Kitchen and bathroom remodels have the highest margins. Whole-home renovations sound bigger but the complexity eats your profit.
  • Your first 10 jobs come from personal network and referrals. Don't spend on ads until you have 5-star reviews to back them up.
  • Material costs swing 15-30% year over year. Quote projects with current supplier pricing, not last year's numbers.
