Charleston, SC & Savannah, GA
Renovations Built for Real Estate Investors
We renovate, repair and turn around investment properties so they get back on the market faster. Written scopes, line-item estimates, one crew for every trade — and a schedule you can actually plan a closing or a lease around.
Buy. Renovate. Rent or Sell.
Repeat with the same crew

Track record
Eight years and more than a thousand projects behind every estimate.
We're not learning the trade on your property. Alvis Renovations has been running renovation work across the Lowcountry for over eight years — licensed, insured, and with the crew depth to hold a schedule when it matters.
- 8+ Years in business
- 1,000+ Projects completed
- 2 Markets served
- Licensed & insured
Holding costs don't pause for a no-show contractor.
Interest, taxes, insurance and utilities keep running while the property sits.
The real cost of a slow rehab
Every week the property sits unfinished, it costs you money.
You're not buying a renovation. You're buying back time on a holding cost. Most investors don't leave us because of price — they leave their last contractor because of everything below.
- Crews that disappear for a week A scheduled start date and crews assigned to your job
- "Ballpark" numbers that move mid-project Line-item pricing, with change orders in writing before work starts
- Chasing five different subs yourself One contract, one point of contact, every trade covered
- Radio silence between site visits Weekly progress updates with photos — no site visit required
- A punch list that stalls your listing Closeout crews that finish the last 5% fast
What we do
Three ways investors put us to work.
Same crews, same standards — scoped differently depending on whether the property is being sold, leased, or handed back to a tenant.
01
Fix & Flip Renovations
Full and partial rehabs scoped around resale value, not personal taste. We build to what the comps support, keep finishes consistent, and push toward a listing date — backed by eight years and 1,000+ completed projects in these markets.

02
Rental Turnovers
Paint, flooring, repairs and cleaning between tenants — sequenced to cut vacancy days. Send the move-out report, get a scope back with a firm window.
See turnover scopes
03
Make-Ready & Punch Lists
Everything standing between the property and a lease, a listing or a clean inspection — repairs, touch-ups, trim, doors, hardware and the last-mile details.

One stop shop
One contractor. Two markets. Every trade.
Most investors buying across the Lowcountry end up managing two rosters — a crew in South Carolina, a different crew in Georgia, and nobody who knows both. We cover Charleston and Savannah with the same team, the same standards and the same pricing structure.
- Two states, one contract. Charleston and Savannah under one agreement — no re-vetting a contractor every time you cross the state line.
- Eight years in these two markets. We know what permitting takes here, which finishes hold up in this climate, and what the comps actually support neighborhood by neighborhood.
- Every trade under our contract. Demo, drywall, flooring, paint, trim, cabinets, tile, fixtures, punch list. You stop being the general contractor.
- One number to call. Same point of contact for every property you own in either market — whether that's one house or a dozen.
- Built for owners who live somewhere else. Most of our clients don't live near the properties they own. We walk it, document it, and keep you current with weekly photos.

Buying on both sides of the state line? You get the same finish package, the same scope format and the same crew standards on every property — so your numbers stay comparable from deal to deal.
How it runs
A simple process built for investors.
Five steps, no mystery. You know what's happening, what it costs, and when the property is coming back to you.
01
Property Walkthrough
We meet at the property — or walk it with your agent or PM if you're out of state — and document what it actually needs.
02
Scope & Estimate
You get a written scope of work with line-item pricing, a start date and a working timeline. No blanks to fill in later.
03
Renovation
Crews run the job in sequence. You get weekly progress updates with photos, and change orders in writing before anything moves.
04
Final Walkthrough
We walk the property with you or your representative, build the punch list, and close it out — not two weeks later.
05
Rent or List It
Property handed back clean and photo-ready, so your agent or property manager can go to market immediately.
Before & after
From fixer to market-ready.
Same property, same angle. Drag the handle across any image to see what the scope actually changed.

Why investors work with us
Built around how investment properties actually get done.
We can't control your market, your lender or your buyer. We can control scope, schedule and quality — and that's what we hold ourselves to.
01
Investor-first scoping
We scope to the exit — resale comps or rent roll — instead of upselling finishes that never come back.
02
Clear scopes of work
Written, itemized, and specific enough that you can compare it against another bid line by line.
03
Transparent estimates
Materials and labor broken out. Change orders priced and approved before the work happens.
04
Reliable scheduling
A committed start date and a working timeline, so you can plan the listing, the lease or the loan draw.
05
Consistent communication
Weekly updates with photos. One person who answers the phone and knows your property.
06
Fast execution
Trades sequenced to overlap where they can, so the job isn't waiting on one crew at a time.
07
One contractor, every trade
Demo through final touch-up under one contract. You stop being the general contractor.
08
Built for repeat work
Standard scopes and finish packages across your portfolio, so the second property moves faster than the first.
For repeat buyers
One property or an entire portfolio.
If you're closing on properties regularly, you don't need a contractor — you need a bench. We set up repeat investors with standard finish packages, agreed pricing on common scopes, and priority scheduling, so every new acquisition starts from a template instead of from scratch.

What clients say
Investors, landlords and agents we work with.
Eight years and 1,000+ projects means most of our work now comes from the same people coming back with the next property.
“I've used a lot of contractors on flips and this is the first one who handed me a written scope with real line items before anybody swung a hammer. The number at the end matched the number at the start. That alone is worth the call.”
“I manage units in two markets and I'm not driving to every turnover. They send photos every week, the unit gets done, and I re-list it. Vacancy on my last three turns was the shortest it's been since I bought them.”
“My client had a repair list from the buyer's inspection and eight days to close. Alvis took the whole list, worked around the schedule, and we closed on time. I send them every investor listing that needs work now.”
