G&S Home Remodeling

David Steel of G&S Home Remodeling and builder/​contractor for Ben McCormick Homes built a new home on undeveloped property next our property. Since the new build, water from that property now FLOODS our property like a river every time it rains washing away landscaping, displacing landscape timbers, mulch, plantings, washing cubic yards of sand and dirt from the builds landscaping onto our grass, causing ponds of standing water and potential deterioration to our fence. This concern has been addressed with the builder on multiple occasions from the beginning of construction, until he sold the property, and even now. Mr. Steel assured us that he would correct the drainage issues and kept reassuring us that it would be taken care of. However, instead of correcting the issues I feel he has dragged this along until he sold the property.
There are several open complaints with the City of North Charleston Public Works and Code Enforcement and have overlapped the sale of the house. The city has a drainage plan that was not followed by the builder and is directing excessive amounts of stormwater onto the adjacent property. This information is known to the builder, but was not told to the realtor and subsequently the buyer of the property.
Additionally, the builder had trees on the property that were overgrown and damaged the roof of the adjacent property causing damage. These were not addressed until roughly 1 – 2 weeks prior to property being sold.
The builder claims to be experienced and of the highest quality, so why is it that properly providing drainage was not done? In my opinion, the most likely answer is that they intentionally decided to drain the water to our property because it was the quickest and cheapest way to resolve their drainage issue.
In summary, it is my opinion that this builder has knowingly channeled water onto our property and it is my hope that they will do the responsible thing and correct the drainage issues. Until this is resolved, I can not in good conscience recommend this company.

G & S replaced 12 windows for us in 2009. I called after 5 years to say one window was fogging up and whistling. I was kinda expecting to have to argue about it but they were so professional and nice about it that I had to write this review. This is rare when a company treats customers like this after the work is done. They ordered the window while I was on the phone and said they would be out when it comes in. I am sorta amazed and the rep was super pleasant. I would recommend using them after negative experiences with other companies.
