EXCELLENT Based on 212 reviews Posted on Shannon ColeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My back patio turned out beautifully! We added a privacy wall with electric fireplace stone front and screened in the area. The communication and process was great and they do it the RIGHT way by pulling permits with the city. Would highly recommend and I come across a lot of contractors as a Realtor!Posted on Steve TillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very pleased with my 500 square foot patio paver/fence/river rock/outdoor lighting project. Great people from start to finish. Would use them again and I highly recommend Sun South Carolinas if you’re looking to do similar work.Posted on Chad GirouardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We would highly recommend Sun South to anyone looking for a capable team to tackle an outdoor project. It was a pleasure to work with the whole team. Carlos designed a beautiful garden based on our vision and initial meeting. Ginny and Olennys were helpful and responsive throughout the process and kept us updated on scheduling and details. The crew that worked on site was friendly, professional and cleaned up after themselves before leaving every day. We’re thrilled with the completed project and the value that we received!Posted on James BassTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SunSouth installed a patio in my backyard recently. We were so pleased with the outcome that we put iron FB for our friends to see plus our neighbors have been looking at it because of our satisfaction with the project. SunSouth is very Professional and great to work with.Posted on Sahrish JavedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really can't recommend SunSouth enough. They truly transformed my backyard from an unusable steel hillside forest to a level and safe backyard for my family. Carlos, Ginny and Fernando were great at communicating every step of the way.Posted on Hannah MclaurinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a pleasure it was working with SunSouth. We had been waiting on another company to redo our deck for 4 months and it kept getting pushed out. We got tired of waiting and had 6 different companies to come and give us quotes. Carlos the owner came out to look and give us a quote that day. He was able to give us the deck we wanted and a beautiful stone patio. He came over on a Thursday for the quote. We picked materials on Friday. There was crew out the following Wednesday and finished on Friday. Everyone that worked on this was friendly, professional and timely. I would recommend this company 10/10 times. Thanks Sunsouth for the beautiful deck.Posted on Ashley RussoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot say enough positive things about SunSouth Carolinas. They did a phenomenal job with my patio project. Everything from the quote, to the design process, scheduling, and execution was professional and the team was extremely communicative throughout. They took my loose requirements and turned it into a beautiful and FUNCTIONAL design. They installed my patio, extended my mulch beds and added in the flagstone path- and they left the worksite as clean as they found it. Very happy with their work and would highly recommend them!Posted on Jon BassTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sunsouth created exactly what we were looking for. They were able to take my existing space, add to it and re-create a much more functional and wonderful outdoor living space. They did a great job utilizing my existing stone work and pergola. We especially love the new STONE WORK and the beautiful high-quality pergola with a covering. They were able to see our vision and create it. They exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend them!Posted on Kim FilsingerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team has done a few jobs for me. Carlos is awesome and professional. Great ideas and creative in finding solutions. Would use for all outdoor needsPosted on Chris SmittyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The first question anyone reading a review when researching a company to build a project at their home is, if we could do the project all over again would we choose SunSouth Carolina’s again? The answer is yes 100%. Second question everyone wants to know. Did we finish on budget and did they change the price at all at the end? Yes we finished within budget and they did not adjust a single dollar in the cost. Third question everyone wants to know. Would we call SunSouth for our next outdoor project? 100% they would be my first call. From the existing excellent reviews and to what I now know about how SunSouth operates their business they have built a trust with us that makes me confident in them working at my home. We chose SunSouth to build our pool after interviewing six contractors in total. They installed an Imagine Fantasy Pool in grey with a paver surround that matched the existing retaining wall, and river rock dry creek beds for context of the project. Logan came out for our consult, heard all of our wants, and quickly put a design together to show us the potential for our new space that would be cohesive with our existing landscape. We had a challenging space to work with our hill and existing retaining wall. He worked magic that translated into a well executed final product. His professionalism and confidence is really what moved us to choose SunSouth Carolina’s for our pool project. Dig day came quick and was on time as scheduled. All the crews came together and worked in unison and set the pool in the ground with full of water in a single day, it was quite impressive to watch it all happen. Christina one of the owners came out and spent all day on site to make sure everything went well. Once the pool was in there was still a bunch of work ahead in terms of dirt removal, inspections, electrical, grading, prepping, hardscaping, drainage, river rock etc. all that work was coordinated well by SunSouth. All in all it took about 6-7 weeks or so to get everything wrapped up which is pretty fast in terms of installing a swimming pool and the other scope of work to go along with it especially since with project was going through all the winter holidays. Finally we’re done and we are very happy with the end result! The SunSouth team is great through and through. The owners Christina and Carlos work with their team not stand above them. It’s clear they care about each project and their customers not just the revenue. Ginny the office manager is much more than that, she is the communication lifeline and coordinates everything. Her ability to address and resolve any situation without hesitation speaks volumes. Fernando and the crew that built everything are some of the hardest working people I have met and it is very evident they care about their craft and customer satisfaction. In the end they built exactly what we wanted and couldn’t be happier with the end result. Thank you SunSouth! Chris & Sandy
