OUR SERVICES
One design team, one showroom, every category a Charleston-area renovation actually needs. From a single countertop replacement to a whole-home renovation, here is exactly what we do and how each service is built specifically around Lowcountry homes.
Kitchens
A kitchen renovation touches more product categories than any other room in the house, cabinets, countertops, flooring, appliances, hardware, sometimes windows. Charleston Design Center is the only Lowcountry showroom where all of it gets selected together, in the same room, in the same visit, so your cabinet finish, countertop material, and flooring actually coordinate instead of being chosen in isolation by three different vendors. Whether you're updating a Mount Pleasant family kitchen, opening up a galley layout in a Charleston peninsula historic home, or building new construction in Nexton, our design team sequences your entire kitchen project, from first consultation through final walkthrough, so cabinet lead times, countertop templating, and flooring installation happen in the right order instead of holding each other up.
One design team, every category: cabinets, countertops, flooring, appliances, and hardware selected together, not sourced from five separate vendors.
Sequencing that prevents delays: countertops are templated after cabinets are installed and level, never before, avoiding the most common kitchen renovation timeline mistake.
Every budget tier represented: from Mantra and Wolf Home Products at accessible pricing to Grabill full custom, all displayed in working showroom vignettes.

Cabinets
We carry nine cabinet lines spanning value-tier semi-custom through complete full-custom fabrication, and every single one is on display as a working showroom unit, not a photo in a binder. Open real drawers. Feel real soft-close hardware. See plywood box construction up close, the detail that actually matters for coastal humidity resistance, before you commit to a brand. Whether you need Fabuwood's dependable 8–12 week semi-custom line for a standard Mount Pleasant kitchen, Fieldstone's 600,000+ custom color combinations to match an existing whole-home palette, or Grabill's complete dimensional flexibility for a Kiawah Island estate with non-standard openings, our design team matches the right tier to your actual layout and budget, not the highest-margin option.
9 cabinet lines, every tier displayed: from Midcontinent Pivot's investment-property value pricing to Grabill's full custom fabrication.
Coastal-appropriate construction as standard: plywood box construction and dovetail drawers, not an upgrade, on every line we carry.
Honest tier guidance: we'll tell you when your kitchen doesn't need full custom, not just sell you the most expensive option.
See real drawers open in person before you decide.
Countertops
The question is never simply "which material is best," it's which material is right for your specific kitchen, your household's cooking habits, and your maintenance tolerance. We show every countertop option as a full-size slab, not a 4-inch chip, in real showroom light, next to your actual cabinet sample, so the pairing is something you can evaluate directly rather than imagine from a swatch book. Cambria and Silestone quartz for zero-maintenance performance in busy Lowcountry kitchens. Quartzite through Savannah Stone Source for natural depth no engineered material fully replicates. Daltile porcelain slab when heat resistance and UV stability matter more than fabrication flexibility. Dekton when the application is outdoors and standard quartz simply isn't rated for the job.
Full-size slabs, not sample chips: evaluate real pattern, veining, and depth against your actual cabinet finish before committing.
Material matched to how you actually cook: heat resistance, sealing requirements, and durability discussed honestly for your household.
The only countertop we specify outdoors: Dekton, for outdoor kitchens where standard quartz would fail within a season or two.
Compare quartz, quartzite, and porcelain slabs side by side.
Flooring
Not every floor belongs in every Lowcountry home. A full-time, climate-controlled Mount Pleasant residence can carry genuine wide-plank hardwood from DuChateau or Riva Spain. A Folly Beach or Isle of Palms property that sits seasonally vacant needs 100% waterproof SPC-core flooring like Nuvelle, because premium hardwood will cup and warp under humidity cycling no installer can prevent. We walk every client through which category their specific property actually falls into before any sample gets pulled, then let you walk the floor barefoot, not just look at it, since flooring is one material where texture and feel genuinely change the decision. Thirteen brands, every price point, from Woodgrain's accessible investment-property pricing to DuChateau's architect-preferred handcrafted collections.
Climate-and-occupancy-first recommendations: we confirm whether your property can support hardwood before you fall in love with a finish it can't handle.
Walk every sample barefoot: texture and warmth underfoot are part of the decision, not just how a photo looks.
13 brands from value to architect-preferred: Mohawk and Shaw for dependable mid-tier, DuChateau for genuine handcrafted luxury.
Find the right floor for your specific property type.
Windows & Doors
A window is not a commodity on the South Carolina coast, it has to perform against hurricane wind loads for decades, and the specific rating your property needs depends on exactly where it sits, not just that it's "near the coast." We carry 30+ brands spanning code-compliant impact systems for Folly Beach and Isle of Palms wind-borne debris zones through full custom architectural aluminum for Kiawah Island oceanfront estates and narrow-sightline steel windows built specifically to satisfy Charleston's Board of Architectural Review on historic peninsula renovations. Before recommending any brand, our team confirms your property's actual wind zone documentation, then matches that requirement to the right system, PGT and ES Windows for proven barrier-island permitting acceptance, Arcadia Custom and Pellegrini Italia when the architecture calls for a genuine design statement.
Wind-zone-first specification: we confirm your property's exact coastal wind load requirement before recommending any brand.
KICA and BAR documentation support: our team prepares the product documentation Kiawah Island and Charleston historic district reviews require..
30+ brands, from code-compliant to full custom: PGT and ES Windows for proven coastal performance, Arcadia Custom and TruStile for architectural statement pieces.
Confirm your property's wind zone before you order anything.
Outdoor Kitchens
Standard indoor materials fail outdoors within a few Lowcountry seasons, wood cabinetry rots and warps, standard quartz fades under continuous UV exposure, plated hardware rusts in salt air. We build every outdoor kitchen as one coordinated system engineered specifically for this climate, not a set of indoor materials adapted after the fact. NatureKast is the only cabinetry brand we install outdoors, zero-wood, foam-core construction with marine-grade 316 stainless hardware, because we've watched wood-based outdoor kitchens fail within three to five years on Isle of Palms and Folly Beach properties. Paired with Dekton's UV-stable, heat-resistant surface and, where the project calls for a fully open connection to the interior, a coordinated Euro-Wall or Origin Bifolds door system with Centor integrated screening, all planned together from your first consultation.
NatureKast is the only cabinetry we install outdoors: zero-wood, marine-grade hardware, verified with installations 7+ years old still looking new.
Dekton paired as standard: the only countertop material genuinely rated for continuous outdoor UV and heat exposure.
One coordinated system, not separate purchases: cabinetry, countertop, door system, and screening planned together in one consultation.
Build an outdoor kitchen that survives a real Lowcountry summer.
Appliances
Our Wholesale Appliance Center delivers Wolf, Sub-Zero, Thermador, and other premium appliance brands at 15–30% below standard retail, the same manufacturer, the same full warranty, the only difference is the price. Because we coordinate appliance delivery directly with your cabinet installation timeline, nothing arrives on the wrong day, which is one of the most common causes of renovation delays we see when appliances are sourced separately from cabinetry. Panel-ready refrigeration and integrated suites are planned into your cabinet configuration from the start, since appliance dimensions genuinely determine cabinet layout, not the other way around, so ordering both together avoids the redesign work that comes from choosing appliances after cabinets are already finalized.
15–30% below retail: same manufacturer, same full warranty, just wholesale pricing through our Appliance Center.
Coordinated with your cabinet order: appliance dimensions determine cabinet configuration, ordering together avoids costly redesign.
Delivery synced to your renovation schedule: no appliances arriving before cabinets are ready, or vice versa.
See how much a coordinated appliance package saves.
Commercial
Commercial specification is a fundamentally different problem than residential renovation, different code requirements depending on occupancy classification, coordination against a general contractor's broader construction schedule, and often volume ordering across many identical units for a multi-family development. We specify Quaker Windows & Doors and Masonite's volume-capable door lines for exactly these projects, and our commercial services team works directly with your GC to sync material delivery against build-out phasing rather than treating each unit as an independent residential order. From North Charleston office and retail build-outs to multi-unit residential development door and cabinet packages, we bring the same 68-brand catalog to commercial projects with pricing and lead-time structures built for volume, not retail.
Commercial code expertise: we understand how occupancy classification affects window, glazing, and door specification differently than residential.
GC-synced delivery scheduling: material delivery coordinated directly against your construction timeline, not sold as isolated orders.
Volume pricing for multi-unit projects: consistent specification and cost efficiency across developments of any scale.

Financing
Financing is available for qualifying renovation projects, but the exact terms depend on your specific scope and selected materials, which is why we walk through real numbers directly during your consultation instead of publishing generic rates that may not apply to your project. Most Charleston-area kitchen renovations run 10–16 weeks from final material selection to completed installation, accounting for an 8–12 week cabinet lead time plus countertop fabrication and install scheduling, full custom cabinetry or imported materials extend that range. Bring your target budget to your first visit, the same budget ranges published across our brand pages, and your designer will confirm on the spot whether financing makes sense and what a realistic timeline looks like for your exact selections.
Real numbers at your consultation: no generic rate sheets, financing terms confirmed for your actual project scope.
Honest 10–16 week timeline: we tell you the realistic path from selection to installation, not an optimistic best case.
Milestone payment options: available for clients who prefer to split payment across project phases rather than financing.

Showroom
15,000 square feet in Mount Pleasant, and everything in it is real. Full-size countertop slabs, not chips. Working cabinet drawers you open yourself. Flooring samples you walk on barefoot. Impact-rated windows with cutaway sections showing actual construction. A full-scale NatureKast outdoor kitchen display. This is the one place in the Lowcountry where all 68 brands we carry are staged together, not scattered across a dozen single-brand dealer showrooms you'd otherwise have to visit separately. Walk-ins are always welcome, Monday through Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, no appointment required, though scheduling a consultation in advance means a designer has relevant samples pulled and ready before you arrive.
Everything is real, nothing is a photo: full slabs, working drawers, walkable flooring, cutaway window construction.
68 brands, one location: the only Lowcountry showroom where every category is staged under one roof.
Walk in anytime, no appointment needed: Monday–Friday 9am–5:30pm, or schedule ahead for a designer to prep samples in advance.
See it in person before you decide anything.
