Canter Construction

Jonah the owner is a great salesman but very unprofessional, confrontational and couldn’t finish what he started. He left us with a demolished bathroom. We had 2 baths and full kitchen remodel in contract. 1st bath quality was sub par. No attention to tile work. For master bath we consulted for materials needed, ordered everything with their approval and after demolition we were told we didn’t have enough tile, wrong plumbing fixtures and had wrong pocket door hardware. They were very defensive and said it was not their fault. We showed emails highlighting their approvals. Their response was to cancel all our projects leaving our bathroom completely demolished and kitchen unfinished. They never apologized or took responsibility for their shortcomings. Their only job is to make sure clients have right materials and are on a timely schedule since they sub contract all their work with cheap labor, and couldn’t even do that properly. Would not recommend this company to anyone. Update: Jonah the owner confronted my wife and I while we were on a bike ride. He started harassing us for the previous bad review we posted. He insulated our character, appearance and repeated many vulgar terms at us. He closely approached me and was within inches of me at times. He was drinking and seemed intoxicated. I was willing to discuss our business disagreements and urged him to calm down. He continued with his harassing behavior telling us to F off and screaming at me. We rode away as their was no way of having an adult conversation with him. This statement doubles as our first public record of harassment. If he approaches my wife or I while we are minding our business again we will file a restraining order on him as allowed by South Carolina law. It is sad that it had to go this way. I have never left a review in my life, but such reckless behavior cannot be swept under the rug. As business owners ourselves we will never treat our customers like this.

Canter Construction recently completed my master bath remodel. They were such a joy to work with. Jonah and Peter are extremely responsive! Peter gets the job done. I have already recommended them to my sister and will do so to anyone else that is interested in a reliable company that does an excellent job.

Jonah is the man! We just bought our first house and it is pretty old and in disrepair. Jonah took care of some ceiling work for us and even brought us a six pack of craft beer as a house warming gift. All around good guy and has been very helpful as we have had new home owner questions. Would highly recommend and we already planning another project with him.

I know most people don’t care to read lengthy reviews, so I’ll sum up the experience in a sentence or two, and then you can read on if you’d care to get a bigger picture. Jonah (who was very communicative throughout the entire job) was on-time for all our meetings, came in on budget from the initial quote, and completed the job in the time frame promised – we really couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We had a couple of vinyl windows that had begun to warp and would no longer lock etc., so we contacted Jonah to get a quote to replace all four windows on the south side of the house. Jonah arrived right on time for our initial meeting, and took time to explain why the warping had happened (lower end builder grade windows) and what he’d recommend as a remedy for the issue. He was upbeat and clearly knowledgeable about what needed to be done, so In the end we wound up having Jonah quote us to replace all of the windows. There was no pressure on his part to do so, but we knew they’d all need to be done within the next few years, as we quickly realized during our first summer the original windows were far from energy efficient. Jonah said we’d have the quote by the end of the week, and by Thursday we had an email with a link to the quote. I have to say this was a great way of having an electronic record of the quote, and you can communicate back and forth easily about updates etc. The quote itself was very fair (from a labor perspective), and he’d given us an allowance based on each window size. We decided to move forward and per Jonah’s instruction we contacted his rep at Buck Lumber to setup an appointment to choose the actual windows (as a side note, I’d recommend Buck as well – great selection, knowledgeable staff, and delivery was exactly when they promised.) Jonah made it a point to be there when the Buck Lumber rep came to do the final measurements (which I thought was a great idea to avoid any miscommunication, as these were all special order windows.) A couple of weeks later Jonah circled back to say the windows were in, so we made arrangements for them to be delivered and schedule out the install. Jonah scheduled the install for within a week of the windows being delivered, and had them all installed within a couple of days. There were a couple of small curve balls once the original windows were removed, but Jonah and his crew handled the (framing) issues easily and at a very nominal charge – which was mostly for materials. They also did a great job with patching and painting the frames, and cleaned up as they went along. Our final bill came in right on budget and we couldn’t be happier with the overall experience. Highly recommended.

My deck and pergola turned out perfect. Our backyard is complete. Jonah and his team went above and beyond to make sure that the construction was finished in my time frame. So happy with the end result.

Could not have asked for better craftsmanship. We came to Jonah with no plans, just the idea of what we wanted. What they were able to do for us far exceeded our expectations. We had a new screened porch built and upgrades to our kitchen. The attention to detail and service is the reason Canter Construction has nothing but 5 star reviews. Every one that has been to our house has asked for his card because of the work they did.

As a new homeowner I knew I wanted to remodel the master bath asap, but was nervous about the whole process as I had heard horror stories about how lengthy the process could be and unexpected costs that could arise. This was not the case at all with Canter Construction! They stuck to the price quoted and had it completed within 2 weeks of the start date. I am EXTREMELY happy with the finished product, I now have the most beautiful bathroom, it is exactly as I imagined it!! The tile work is amazing and dealing with Canter Construction was a true pleasure. I will definitely be using them for future projects!!

These guys are great and there's nothing they can't do!! They helped us be realistic with our budget and stuck to their schedule to get us back in our home in time for the Super Bowl so we could enjoy it in our new finished sunroom! They payed attention to detail and everything turned out better than we imagined!! Great customer service!! Will definitely use these guys again!!

After several years (and countless projects) with Canter Construction, I highly recommend their services. As Realtors, we rely on them for our personal home repairs/renovations and also for handling our clients' home inspection needs prior to closing. Whenever I'm negotiating with another real estate agent about work to be done on a home (buying or selling side), I try to get Canter Construction in to perform the work because I know it will be done correctly. Not only do they give fair prices, but I can also trust that it will be done the right way. They can address most issues, from plumbing to electrical to structural to wood rot to termite damage and more.
