Building a home from 800 miles away could have been a nightmare BUT it wasn’t. From the beginning, it was evident that Gooding Contractors was committed to building us a high-quality home that was tailored to our needs and wants. They were always available and responsive to every question and concern and kept us constantly apprised of the progress on the home with daily photos and frequent texts and emails. The attention to detail ensured that everything from bathroom sconces and mirrors, to recessed lighting was positioned just as we wanted. We could not be happier with our new home. It is beautiful and comfortable and we want to thank the entire crew at Gooding Contractors for making it possible as they completely earned our respect and trust. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for custom home builder!

When you want the best, you hire the best. My husband and I bought a fixer upper in town and our first project was to build a Garage with Carriage House above. After talking with neighbors and looking at projects they had done in the past, it was clear on who to call. Gooding Contractors is hands-down the #1 Contractor in the Lowcountry. From start to finish, their combination of knowledge, attention to detail, timeliness, cleanliness and design are unmatched by anyone in the industry. Gooding Contractors has our highest recommendation for anyone looking to build or remodel. Exceeding your expectations is not only their specialty, it’s their superpower!John and Angela JohnsonBeaufort, SC

My husband and I have been coming to Beaufort, SC for many years to hunt and fish. We liked the area so much we decided to purchase a home there. We were very fortunate to investigate the Pigeon Point neighborhood and happened upon a six home building project that was being handled by Gooding Contractors. We were so impressed by Gooding's plans that we decided to purchase one of the homes. Lance gladly worked with us to make modifications to the design of the home. The result was a gorgeous, high quality house that we have thoroughly enjoyed. I sold real estate for many years and have known a number of builders. I can tell you that Lance Gooding is a man of integrity and totally straight-forward. If we ever build another home in the Beaufort area, I would contact Gooding Contractors to do the job!

In late 2006, we bought a two-story bespoke retiree home in the Habersham neighborhood. We realized that it would take several upgrades to make this home fit our long-term vision. Yet who could we trust that would have the requisite quality, experience, and knowledge of remodeling in the Low Country? We checked around with our neighbors, and they pointed us to Gooding Contractors.During the first upgrade in 2008, Gooding guided us expeditiously through the designs, permitting, and inspections as we added gas heating and lighting, converted a walk-in attic into a bonus room with closet space, enclosed our back yard with a living fence and wrought-iron gates, and added additional second story windows. Any time we had a question, the Gooding team quickly responded, always to our satisfaction.Ten years later, we decided on a two-stage plan to reach our final vision. Our home was nearing twenty years of age, and the exterior showed the beginning signs of water damage. We knew we could trust Gooding Contractors to fix our home with long-lasting quality. They thoroughly inspected the exterior and repaired each penetration.Then, we asked Gooding to finish the first stage by upgrading the wooden steps to our front porch with Old Carolina brick, and adding another curved tabby sidewalk from the front gate to the backyard to match the existing on the other side of the house. The workmanship elicits positive comments as people run, bike, or walk their dogs past our house.This year, we completed the vision by adding a carport to our existing garage, and a spacious screen porch with a fireplace and a view that overlooks our new Charleston garden in our back yard. To achieve our long-term goal, we needed not just a plan, but a partner that could make our dream a reality. We heartily recommend Gooding Contractors for remodeling projects, both for the demonstrated skill of their craftsmen, and their proven history of upholding the quality of their work.

We selected Gooding Contractors to build our home based on what we saw from their previous work and the terrific response to all our initial questions. The building process went smoothly and the house was finished on time and within our budget. We love it and appreciate the company's willingness to help us along the way.

Thank you Gooding Contractors! We were in the middle of a renovation project with another contractor and realized that Chip and JoAnna Gains have a corner on the "feel good" market. We were NOT feeling good, and we had to terminate our relationship with the contractor. We were renovating a 1957, 1200 sqft home and our work had come to a stop. The very worst place to be...Enter Gooding contractors. From day one, Lance the the Gooding team provided us with sound advice, excellent recommendations, thoughtful options, and long term considerations. Lance and his team were available to us throughout the renovation, meeting with us early in the morning and late into the evening to ensure that our questions and concerns were answered. Probably one of the most endearing qualities that we experienced was the follow through. If Lance said they were going to do something, they did it. There will always be hiccups, and when the hiccups did occur, the Gooding team was there to help us understand the hiccups and help us move forward.Amber was wonderful with the interior and exterior design questions and recommendations. What a tremendous asset she was during our renovation project to help guide us with our myriad of questions and concerns. She helped ease us into the completion of our home.I highly recommend Gooding Contractors if you are looking for honesty, quality, timeliness, and a relationship with your builder. Thanks Gooding Team!

This company built my salon in 2007. I had a hot water tank burst in the ceiling in Nov. 2020. This water damage was extensive and after being shut down for quarantine earlier in the year, closing was not an option. Lance and Brad were there the Sunday it happened and walked me through the entire process with total respect for my business to be open. Well done gentleman and your crew was outstanding!They walked me through the entire remodeling without much shut down. They worked with my insurance company and were so honest and sincere.Services: Refurbishment, Painting, Waterproofing, Remodeling, Drywall installation, Repair flooring, Drywall repair, Flooring

Kathy and I have built many homes and find working with GOODING CONTRACTORS was the best yet. Lance, Brad, Amber and Kevin went far beyond regular customer service. Best of all they were honest, timely and each had a sincere interest in making the process easy.The home was built during the Covid-19 virus period but seemed to move along well.

One of the most responsive and professional organizations I have ever worked with. From concept to completion everyone at Gooding listened and responded. If you are looking to build, be sure to talk to the folks at Gooding.

company advertises "quality construction services to Beaufort and the South Carolina Lowcountry since 1970." they should be more specific about the Lowcountry they serve...
