Buildings new and old are around us all. Everyone is affected and influenced by construction. Many experience firsthand various levels of the industry. The business of being a home contractor for Bryan Stevens is the blueprint he has lived. His father, Peter, passionately renovated and built for others and his family his entire life. Working at Peter’s side was routine as a youth. In high school Bryan helped lead a few friends at hands on construction in the field of the family business. All trades were done “in house” with his father and “Uncle Mike” showing the way. Mix in a half dozen family house flips for the best education one can get in the business as a tradesmen and as a “customer.”
Four years at Furman University and 6 years as a teacher coincided with construction side jobs. In 2000, Bryan jumped full time into the industry with remodeling and then working full-time as a licensed builder with a family friend and local builder.
In 2010, Bryan took the leap and went into business on his own. Marketing outside of customer service and commitment to a project was not necessary, as all his clients came via “word of mouth”. With faith and hard work Stevens Home Contracting has continued to grow strong. Size is the biggest challenge, as Stevens Home Contracting wants to remain a local, personal touch builder/contractor. Turning away business may not sound like a good “plan” for most but that is what SHC is willing to do to keep the quality and customer commitment the foundation and roots of the company.
Knowing from his days in the field lugging shingles to sheetrock, or hand driving 4 to 16 D nails, the “subcontractor” is just as valuable as the contractor on any type project.The contractor is organizing and choreographing all the subcontractors work to put into show. SHC values his relationships with his customers and he equally values the relationship and efforts of his subcontractors and vendors. Respect is a must with all involved.
Stevens Home Contracting’s most valuable marketing tool is word of mouth and reputation.
