Local cost factors in the Midlands

In historic neighborhoods like Shandon or Rosewood, original wood sills often show signs of rot from years of humidity. Lake Murray waterfront properties may require specialized hardware and glass to withstand increased exposure to the elements.

• Rough opening squareness and repair needs
• Sill and threshold rot (common in older Midlands stock)
• Glass package for energy efficiency in SC heat
• Historic district review (where applicable in Forest Acres, etc.)
• Permit fees (vary by Columbia, Lexington, etc.)
