Question 1

How long does a bathroom remodel take in Charleston?

Accepted Answer

Most bathroom remodels in Charleston can be completed in just 1-2 days with our streamlined process. Our factory-trained installers work efficiently without sacrificing quality. More complex renovations involving custom materials or structural changes may take 3-5 days. We provide a specific timeline during your consultation based on your project's scope and Charleston's current permit processing times.

Question 2

What are the best window options for Charleston's inclement weather conditions?

Accepted Answer

For Chalreston homes, we recommend double or triple-pane windows with Low-E glass coating and argon gas fill to handle the region's temperature extremes. Our ENERGY STAR® certified windows are specifically designed to withstand hot, humid summers and cold winters, with options featuring impact-resistant glass for protection during severe storms. Most Charleston homeowners see a 20-30% reduction in energy costs after installation*.

*West Shore Home cannot guarantee exact changes in energy costs as external factors exist in home age, insulation, etc.

Question 3

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Charleston?

Accepted Answer

Bathroom remodel costs in Charleston typically range from $8,500-$15,000 for a standard renovation, while premium upgrades can range from $15,000-$25,000+. Key factors affecting cost include bathroom size, material quality, layout changes, and fixture selections. West Shore Home offers transparent pricing with no hidden fees and multiple financing options specifically for Charleston homeowners.

Question 4

Do I need a permit for bathroom remodeling in Charleston?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most bathroom remodeling projects in Charleston require permits, particularly when changing plumbing, electrical systems, or moving walls. West Shore Home handles the entire permitting process for Charleston residents, including submission to the appropriate municipal development departments. Our team is familiar with Charleston's specific building codes and can typically secure permits much quicker than average, saving you time and ensuring compliance.

Question 5

What entry door styles are most popular among Charleston homeowners?

Accepted Answer

Charleston homeowners typically choose craftsman-style doors for traditional homes, modern full-light doors for contemporary properties, and fiberglass doors with decorative glass for transitional styles. Weather considerations are crucial in Charleston, so our most popular doors feature enhanced weatherstripping, polyurethane foam cores for insulation, and adjustable thresholds. Dark blues, rich browns, and classic black are currently the trending door colors in Charleston neighborhoods.

Question 6

Can you convert my Charleston home's bathtub to a walk-in shower?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we specialize in tub-to-shower conversions for Charleston homes. The process typically takes 1-2 days and includes removing your existing tub, reinforcing the shower base area, installing a new shower pan, adding wall surrounds, and completing with fixtures and glass doors if desired.

Question 7

How much can Charleston homeowners save on energy bills with new windows?

Accepted Answer

Charleston homeowners typically save 20-30% on energy bills* after installing our energy-efficient windows. With Charleston's hot summers, our double and triple-pane windows with Low-E coatings significantly reduce cooling loss. Based on average Charleston utility rates, most homeowners recoup their window investment within 5-7 years through energy savings alone, not including increased home value.

We partner with multiple lenders to offer competitive rates specifically for Charleston metro area residents. Most customers can get pre-approved within minutes with just a soft credit check, and we offer special financing promotions for military families and first responders serving the Charleston community.

Question 9

How do your windows perform during Charleston storms and tornados?

Accepted Answer

Our windows are engineered specifically to withstand Charleston's severe weather conditions, including high winds and hail. We offer impact-resistant glass options rated for wind speeds up to 150 mph, exceeding Charleston's building code requirements. Our windows feature reinforced frames, multi-point locking systems, and special glazing techniques that prevent shattering during extreme weather events.

Question 10

What makes West Shore Home different from other Charleston remodelers?

Accepted Answer

Unlike most Charleston remodelers, West Shore Home offers one-day installations, lifetime warranties, and factory-direct pricing with no middleman markup.
