Daniel Builders

Three months after recording Installment 1 of Another 100 Years we returned to explore progress. Termite damage was significant. Fortunately, Sam Parkinson (project manager) has eliminated all structural unknowns. Getting to this project milestone required resolving unforeseen challenges. Listen as Sam articulates a clear vision for moving the renovation forward and watch as a beautiful historic home is made ready to last another 100 years.

Here's the preview of Installment 2 of a custom renovation. This home was built over 100 years ago. Full length coming soon.

At 106 East Benson St in downtown Anderson SC you find an impressive and well preserved building that dates back to the late 1800s. It's obviously full of history, but remarkably shows no wear & tear from the passage of time. That's because it recently underwent a significant refresh as part of a historic renovation. Daniel Builders was honored to be the contractor awarded this project. The project went on to be honored by the state of South Carolina Historic Preservation Society . Joining us for the conversation is entrepreneur, business owner, and the creative direction behind this renovation, Allie Walker. Allie shares how her vision to create a stunning location for her business, Katherine Marie Weddings and Bridal Boutique, was realized. It's a great story that we're happy to tell. So strap into that proverbial time machine and let's explore the history behind this renovation!
