“The best and honestly only positive experience I have ever had having work done in Savannah in over a decade, just wish I had found them sooner, as it would have saved me an absolute fortune and countless months if not actual years of torture! I own an investment townhouse in downtown Savannah that I gut renovated over the course of two years from overseas from 2015 through 2017, and anyone familiar with Savannah knows how impossible it is to get quality work (or even remotely competent or reliable work) done there. For the original renovation a decade ago, I moved a master carpenter to Savannah from another state, renting him an apartment downtown, renting him a truck, shipping all of his tools, and even still, any local I had to hire for a specific trade was an absolute disaster. Local realtors even refused to show me the house and the top realtor there told me that I would “lose my shirt” if I attempted to renovate it, and they all assured me that I could not salvage the original 1851 wood floors or fireplaces—which I managed to. I was visiting America and my townhouse in Savannah for the first time in a year and I wanted to do quite a bit of work that I had intended to do long ago: adding character, installing more moulding, arches, wallpaper, putting in tipping rails, gutting and redoing the half bathroom on the parlour floor, redoing the office entirely, and ripping out the custom closet that was a bit bare bones and building a much nicer custom closet. I had hoped to accomplish this during my two week Christmas visit, but needless to say, it went the way it always does, literally paying people that rarely showed up to do a horrible job which then would have to be ripped out and done all over again. I found this company towards the very end, and greatly wish I had sooner, not only for this visit, but years past, as they were the first to do competent work. Thanks so much and I’ll be using you again in the future!”

“Highly recommend Higher Living! They assembled our 13’ x 15’ gazebo yesterday and did an outstanding job. They first had to correct mistakes made by some neighborhood guys who had started the project, then spent the entire day working in the awful heat to get everything done right. The crew was professional, skilled, hardworking, and genuinely kind. The finished gazebo looks fantastic, and I have complete confidence it’s solid because it was assembled the right way. If you need help with a home improvement project, I’d definitely recommend giving Higher Living a call.”
