Top GM Construction is a licensed and insured general contractor with more than 17 years of experience, serving Conway, SC and the surrounding Myrtle Beach area: Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Murrells Inlet and Little River. If you are comparing home remodeling contractors in Conway, SC, the first thing worth settling is scope: do you need a specialist for one room, or a general contractor who can carry an entire house from the first consultation through the final walkthrough?
That matters because most Conway remodeling projects do not stay inside one trade for long. A kitchen opens up a wall, the wall reveals framing, the framing changes the electrical plan, and suddenly you are coordinating three contractors who have never met. A general contractor is the single point of accountability for all of it: one plan, one schedule, one estimate, one person answering your questions. Below is what Top GM Construction handles for Conway homeowners, how our process works, and what to ask any contractor before you sign.
Whole Home Renovation: One Contractor for the Entire House
Our whole home renovation service is the right starting point when a project involves more than one room, or when you have bought an older Conway home that needs to be brought up to the way you actually live. Instead of quoting your house room by room, we look at the whole floor plan at once: what gets reconfigured, what stays, what the structure allows, and in what order the work has to happen so that trades are not tripping over each other.
Planning the house as one project is also what keeps the budget honest. Sequencing decisions early (rough plumbing before tile, wiring before drywall, windows before siding) avoids the most expensive kind of remodeling cost, which is paying twice to undo finished work. High quality results come out of that planning stage far more often than out of the finish selections everyone enjoys arguing about.
Remodeling Services Available in Conway
Top GM Construction is a full service remodeling contractor, so a Conway project can start with one room and grow, or begin as a full renovation from day one. The services we handle:
- Whole Home Renovation: the full house planned and built as a single project.
- Kitchen Remodeling: layout changes, cabinetry, countertops and the plumbing and electrical work behind them.
- Bathroom Remodeling: from a dated guest bath to a full primary suite rebuild.
- Home Additions: added square footage when the house you like simply needs to be bigger.
- Attic Renovation: turning unused space under the roof into a usable room.
- Custom Decks: outdoor living space built to your lot and how you use it.
- Siding: vinyl and fiber cement installation.
- Windows: repair and replacement.
Bundling matters here too. If the siding is coming off anyway, that is the moment to replace the windows behind it, not two summers later.
What Is Different About Remodeling an Inland Conway Home
Conway sits inland, about fifteen miles from the coast along the Waccamaw River, so a Conway house is not the same building problem as an oceanfront condo. That is good news in several ways, and it means a remodeling plan written for the beachfront is not automatically the right plan for your street.
What does carry over is the South Carolina climate. Summers here are hot and humid for months at a time, so the parts of a remodel that never show up in photos are the ones that decide how it ages: proper ventilation in bathrooms and attics, a well sealed building envelope, drainage that moves water away from the foundation, and materials chosen to live with humidity rather than fight it. We plan for that in Conway the same way we plan for it everywhere we build, because the alternative is a beautiful finish sitting on top of a moisture problem.
Our Six Step Process, Start to Finish
Every Top GM Construction project follows the same six steps, whether it is a single bathroom or a full renovation. You always know which step you are on and what comes next.
1. Initial Consultation
We walk the house with you, listen to what you want changed, and look at what the existing structure will allow.
2. Detailed Estimate
You receive a written estimate that lays out scope and pricing, so you can compare it line by line against any other bid you are holding.
3. Contract Signing
Scope, price and terms are agreed in writing before any work starts. Nothing in a remodel should be verbal.
4. Pre-Construction Meeting
Before the first tool comes out, we align the schedule, the sequence of trades, site access and how we will communicate with you while the work is underway.
5. Execution
Our team builds the project and coordinates the trades, keeping the work on the plan and the schedule set in the previous step.
6. Final Walkthrough
We go through the finished space with you and confirm the work is complete and correct before the project is closed out.
What to Verify Before You Hire Any Contractor
Before you hire any remodeling contractor serving Conway, ask three questions:
- Are they licensed and insured?
- Who pulls the permits?
- What exactly is included in the estimate?
Top GM Construction is a licensed and insured general contractor, and we answer those three questions in writing before a contract is signed.
Those questions matter because of how permitting actually works here. Conway is in Horry County, and residential work there goes through the county’s Code Enforcement department. Horry County publishes what a permit application for a one or two family dwelling requires, including site plans with wind and seismic design information, proof of sewer service and the contractor’s license information, with a stated review time of 5-7 business days (source below). Two useful things follow from that: your contractor’s licensing is part of the paperwork, not an afterthought, and permitting is a real step on the calendar, so a schedule that does not account for it is not a complete schedule.
