New Businesses

In Line Tile covers both halves of a tile project from its Greer storefront, selling tile and building materials and handling the installation too.

Stone work sits right alongside tile in this Upstate contractor's trade, so a project that calls for both materials can go to one installer instead of two.

A good share of RCC Solar's reviews come from homeowners who never called about a new install. A system another company put in had quit working right, sometimes after that company went out of business, and Roberto and his crew took it on and got it producing again. New work covers rooftop and ground-mount arrays, battery backup, off-grid setups, EV chargers, and even small wind turbines, built around equipment from Tesla, Enphase, SolarEdge, SMA, and Fronius. The company, also known as RC Construction Solar, has been family-run out of Greer since 2008 and works across both Carolinas. Reviewers keep landing on the same few things about Roberto: he is straight with people about what a system will and won't do, he shows up when he says he will, and the yard gets left clean.

SC Septic is a service located in Greer. Rated 5 stars from 326 Google reviews.

Raprager Farms is a family-run agritourism destination on Boy Scout Road in Odessa, just west of Land O' Lakes and about 25 minutes from Clearwater. What began in February 2020 as a former citrus grove — the property previously operated as Cee-Bee Citrus until citrus greening disease forced its closure — has grown into a full day-trip destination for Tampa Bay families, combining a working regenerative farm with a petting zoo, restaurant, artisan marketplace, and a year-round calendar of seasonal festivals. Founders Justin and Amanda Raprager left corporate careers to build something their family could run and grow together, and that family-first spirit still shapes the farm today. A free-roaming petting zoo with chickens, tortoises, goats, and sheep sits alongside hayrides, a giant bounce pillow, a corn pit, a barn slide, a maze, and field games, all included with general admission. Guests looking for more can add on experiences like zip lining, a mechanical bull, axe throwing, pony rides, gem mining, and Build-A-Buddy, or book hands-on classes in cooking, beekeeping, candle making, yoga, and nutrition. The farm leans into a farm-to-table identity with a full-service restaurant, café, coffee shop, sweet shop, and bar on-site, alongside Farmville — a cottage-style marketplace of local artisan vendors — and a working farmers market. Behind the scenes, Raprager Farms is run on regenerative principles, using cover crops and rotational grazing to rebuild soil health as part of the family's broader commitment to leaving the land, and the animals on it, better than they found it. The calendar runs year-round with signature seasonal festivals — including a fall pumpkin festival, a Christmas festival, and an Easter celebration — each with its own themed decorations, hayride routes, and activities, in addition to hosting birthday parties, corporate outings, weddings, school field trips, and camps. A glamping option is also in the works for guests who want to extend their visit overnight. With a 4.1-star rating across more than 1,500 Google reviews, Raprager Farms has become one of the most-visited agritourism stops in the greater Tampa Bay area, drawing families from Land O' Lakes, Lutz, Wesley Chapel, and beyond. One-day adult admission runs $19 plus tax, with pricing that can vary by festival, so checking ahead — by phone, email, or on the farm's website — is the best way to plan a visit and confirm current rates, especially during peak festival weekends.

The stories people share about Roofers LLC tend to come down to honest advice: one customer was advised against a new roof altogether, another had a nagging leak found and fixed at no charge, and a local insurance agent has said he sends his own clients to them for a straight read on their roofs. The work itself covers shingle and metal roofs on homes, from repairs to full replacements, plus low-slope and standing seam systems on commercial buildings, installed by in-house crews. They also roof new construction and handle inspections after Upstate storms. Locally owned, with roots back to 1983, they take jobs across much of South Carolina, and around here that includes Piedmont, Easley, Greenville, Greer, Taylors, and Travelers Rest.

Allcon Roofing goes well past the asphalt shingles most of us have overhead, working in traditional and synthetic slate, tile, wood shakes, and standing seam metal, and fabricating its own custom sheet metal. Along with home reroofs and repairs, it roofs new construction for homebuilders, multifamily projects included, and installs and maintains commercial flat roofs in TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen. When one of our spring storms drops hail, its Haag-certified inspectors document the damage and meet with the insurance adjuster. Craig Perfect started the independent, family-owned company in 2007, and its crews now work across the Upstate and into western North Carolina. Reviewers tend to call out the Allcon people they worked with by name, from sales to quality control, and keep mentioning steady updates through the job and crews that clean up carefully afterward.

A father and his three sons run Strong Roofing: Michael O'Bryant with Garrison, Gerringer, and Garrett, who pooled backgrounds in sales, engineering, and general contracting to start it. They hold GAF Master Elite status, which lets them offer GAF's strongest warranties. The core of the work is shingle and metal roofing on homes, new or repaired. When a storm does damage, they tarp and patch, then help homeowners through the insurance claim. They also check roofs ahead of a home sale and handle gutters, siding, skylights, and attic ventilation. Home base is here in the Upstate, with a second office up in Whitsett, North Carolina. Reviewers mention the O'Bryants by name and point to a quick response and crews that keep to the schedule. One homeowner singled out how carefully the crew protected the plants and furniture around the house.

Rhino Roofing & Restoration takes on restoration jobs as well as roofing. The company works out of Taylors, the Upstate community between Greenville and Greer.

PCS Roofing works from Fairview Road in Simpsonville, squarely on the Golden Strip. For anyone in town, the whole job, from the estimate through any follow-up visit, stays close to home.

Arnold Roofing handles roof replacements across entire condo and apartment complexes, working with the HOAs and property managers who run them, and covers single-family homes too: new shingle or metal roofs, gutters, leak repairs, and routine maintenance. Commercial roofs and water and fire restoration round out the work. Brian Arnold ran sales and operations for other roofers before starting his own company in the Upstate in 2011, and he still signs the replies to its reviews. It holds GAF Master Elite status, keeps a HAAG-certified inspector in-house, and covers Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Pickens, and Laurens counties. Reviews keep returning to how much gets explained, from photos and video of what's actually wrong to someone who meets the adjuster and handles follow-up with the insurer. More than one customer was away during the install and came home to a finished roof.

Peak Roofing & Solar handles roofing and solar installation out of Greer, two jobs that often go to separate contractors. That combination matters most when an older roof needs work before any panels go up.

Plenty of us around the Upstate still know this crew as ATD Roofing. Premiere Roofing acquired the Greenville company, which is why so many reviews still mention ATD. Premiere itself is a family-owned Columbia-area company in business since 2008, so this is a South Carolina operation, not a national franchise. Storm damage and the insurance claims that follow are a core specialty. Commercial work runs to TPO membranes and roof coatings for churches, apartment complexes, and shopping centers, while homeowners call on them for shingle and metal roofs, gutters, siding, and skylights. They cover Greenville, Greer, Mauldin, Simpsonville, Travelers Rest, and Easley. Reviewers describe the same sequence again and again: a rep who walks the roof with the insurance adjuster, a crew that shows up around sunrise and finishes in a day, and a thorough cleanup before anyone leaves.

A barn, a man cave, pergolas, and a living-room loft with its own railing, pull-out ladder, and bookshelf all show up in ABW Construction's project history, right alongside the kitchen and bath remodels. The crew also builds decks and porches and takes on additions and basements. ABW has been family-owned since 2012, with owner Andrew Woodford running the crew himself. Their jobs stretch from Fountain Inn and Simpsonville up through Mauldin and Greenville to Taylors and Greer. Reviewers keep landing on the same things: a crew that's on time, careful with the details, and good about keeping homeowners in the loop. Andrew gets named in review after review, and people come back. One homeowner who had him remodel a master bath and closet hired the crew again three years later.

A general contracting and remodeling operation working with homeowners across the Piedmont area of the South Carolina Upstate. The work runs to renovation, repair, and build-out projects of the kind that need one contractor to plan the job and coordinate the trades from start through finish.

BuildMasters handles both the design and the build, and its showroom is where homeowners make their selections before construction starts. Cabinetry, tile, interior and exterior doors, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and granite and quartz countertops are all in one place, so choosing finishes doesn't turn into a string of store visits. The work spans kitchens and baths, whole-home renovations, master suite additions, finished basements, and custom homes. Locally owned and building around the Upstate for more than a decade, the company gives clients an online portal for following their project while it's underway. Its service area runs from Travelers Rest and Greer through Mauldin, Simpsonville, and Fountain Inn, and out to Easley, Clemson, Anderson, and Spartanburg. Recent reviews point to a design process where the team listened closely and construction that ran smoothly, with steady communication, from start to finish.

Four Seasons Building & Remodeling works across the full span of a home project, from ground-up building and general contracting to renovations and roofing. For Greenville-area homeowners, that breadth means one contractor can carry a job that might otherwise be split among a separate builder, remodeler, and roofer.

This is custom remodeling built around a homeowner's own plans rather than a fixed set of packages, general contracting that runs from single-room interior updates through larger whole-home renovations for property owners across the Upstate. The practical appeal for anyone weighing a project is having one contractor carry it from the early design decisions through to the finished space.

Walters Exterior is a family business, started by brothers Austin and Jordan Walters, that serves homeowners across the Upstate of South Carolina rather than a single town. The crew works on the outside of a house: pressure washing for siding, driveways, walkways, and other concrete, along with gutter cleaning. Heading into the holidays, they also install and later take down Christmas lighting, which brings many of the same customers back each season. Most of the work is residential and runs across the Greenville and Anderson County side of the Upstate. For current pricing, open dates, and the full range of services they offer, it is best to contact the company directly.

If a Palmetto House Washers crew is already on your street, it pays to ask. Under their Good Neighbor Discount, neighbors who book for the same day both save. Roofs and siding get a soft wash, low pressure and a cleaning solution instead of brute force, which is what lifts those black algae streaks off Upstate shingles. They also take on driveways, patios, decks, fences, gutters, and exterior windows, plus sidewalks and dumpster pads for businesses. Locally owned and at it for well over a decade, the company covers Simpsonville, Five Forks, Mauldin, Fountain Inn, Greenville, Greer, Taylors, Travelers Rest, Easley, Powdersville, Piedmont, and Spartanburg. What reviewers single out is consistent: quick quotes, fast scheduling, good communication even when weather pushes a date, and techs who explain the work and take care of any spot you point out.

A Magic Touch treats a grimy exterior as a mold and mildew problem first and a cosmetic one second. For siding and roofs, John Mathewson and his family-run team soft wash, pairing low pressure with biodegradable cleaners to kill the growth our humid summers leave behind. Sidewalks and driveways, oil stains and tire marks included, get the high-pressure treatment. The work also covers deck and fence restoration, gutter cleaning, acid washing to lift white efflorescence off brick, and construction cleanup on new builds. The crew takes on homes and businesses from Easley, Pickens, and Liberty across to Powdersville, Piedmont, Anderson, and Greenville. Reviewers often name John personally, and most of the praise is about the visible difference on houses, roofs, and driveways. Some of the most emphatic reviews come from homeowners who had used other companies first.

Most of us in the Upstate have watched red clay work its way into a concrete driveway, and Clean Verde goes after it with a rotary surface cleaner paired with an iron oxide neutralizer. Roofs and siding get a low-pressure soft wash with biodegradable cleaners after the plant beds are soaked down, and roof cleanings carry a three-year warranty against moss and algae. Family-owned and at it since 2013, the company also handles windows, gutters and gutter guards, deck and fence restoration, paver sealing, and building washing for businesses and HOAs. Crews cover five counties, from Travelers Rest down to Fountain Inn and from Easley across to Spartanburg. Reviewers often single out the window cleaning, describing glass and screens that look new again, and a good number have kept the crew coming back for years.

Preferred Soft Wash handles the kind of exterior cleaning that high-pressure washing can damage: roofs, siding, and other soft surfaces that need a gentler, low-pressure approach to lift grime and growth without stripping the material underneath. The crew works out of Greer and covers the surrounding Upstate.

Eco Blast is an exterior cleaning service that uses pressurized water to strip dirt, mildew, and weathered buildup from the hard surfaces around a property. It is the kind of job a homeowner or property manager books when siding, concrete, or a walkway has gotten grimy and needs a cleaning rather than a repair.
