Exterior Renovations & Additions
in Beaufort County

Roberts Construction Company provides exterior renovation services for homeowners in Hilton Head, Bluffton, Okatie, Hardeeville, Beaufort, Port Royal and Ridgeland.

Functional Outdoor Areas

The exterior of your home is more than a façade, it’s your first impression and your connection to the outdoors, and an extension of your living space. At Roberts Construction Company, we reimagine exteriors to blend style, durability, and purpose. From expanding your home’s footprint to creating outdoor spaces for gathering, our work is designed to make your property more inviting and valuable.

Expanding and Redefining Spaces

Sometimes a home needs more than a fresh coat of paint, it needs more space or better flow. We design and build additions that integrate seamlessly with your existing architecture, whether you’re adding a new room, expanding a living area, or creating a sun-filled transition between indoors and outdoors. Every project is tailored to your needs, ensuring the new space looks and feels like it has always been part of your home.

We also reconfigure porches, patios, and decks so they serve multiple purposes, from quiet relaxation to hosting friends. For backyards, we can create complete outdoor environments that incorporate pools, lounging areas, and shaded retreats.

Materials, Details, and Durability

The right materials not only define the look of your exterior but also determine how it performs over time. We guide you through high-quality siding, roofing, and trim options that protect your home while elevating its curb appeal. Our designs incorporate architectural details, upgraded windows, and doors that enhance energy efficiency while complementing your home’s style.

For outdoor spaces and poolside areas, we select finishes and features that can handle the elements — from weather-resistant decking to low-maintenance railings and hardscaping that stands the test of time.

Blending Indoor Comfort with Outdoor Living

Modern home design is about blurring the lines between inside and out. We create spaces where you can cook, dine, swim, and relax outdoors while enjoying the same comfort and style you expect indoors. This can include integrated lighting, ceiling fans, built-in seating, outdoor kitchens, and poolside gathering spaces, all crafted to suit your lifestyle.

Whether you want a peaceful backyard retreat, a pool-centered entertainment hub, or a vibrant space for gatherings, we focus on cohesive design that flows naturally from your home’s interior. The result is an exterior that not only looks exceptional but also enhances the way you live every day.

Outdoor Living Spaces in the Lowcountry

Exterior renovations in Beaufort County navigate diverse requirements: hurricane-resistant construction on Hilton Head Island, historic preservation in Beaufort’s antebellum districts, ARB approvals in planned communities, tree protection in Bluffton, and simplified processes in rural Ridgeland.

Coastal properties face hurricane winds, salt air corrosion, high humidity, and flood zones. Historic districts require Certificate of Appropriateness for any exterior change. HOA communities maintain architectural standards. Each area brings unique considerations affecting materials, timeline, and approach.

We’ve completed exterior projects throughout the county, understanding what coastal conditions require, how to secure necessary approvals, and which materials perform best in each location.

Hilton Head Island

Island exteriors face the strictest requirements: 140+ mph hurricane wind ratings, impact-resistant windows or approved shutters, ARB approval for all communities, flood zone considerations, and salt air exposure. Sea Pines maintains particularly detailed ARB standards. Fiber cement siding, stainless steel fasteners, hurricane-rated windows standard. Permits: $300-$700.

Bluffton

Old Town requires historic preservation review for all exterior changes including paint colors, siding, windows, and roofing. Tree protection ordinance complicates additions and site work. Newer communities have HOA architectural review. Fast growth means busy permitting office processing 1,500+ applications annually. Permits: $250-$650.

Beaufort

Historic districts require Certificate of Appropriateness from Design Review Board for any exterior change. Paint colors must match approved historic palettes. Antebellum homes face highest scrutiny. Monthly board meetings mean careful timeline planning. Historic review adds 6-10 weeks to timeline. Permits: $400-$1,200 including review fees.

Okatie

Sun City and golf communities maintain architectural standards requiring HOA approval. Less stringent than coastal ARBs but still require proper submissions. County permitting rather than municipal. Wetland buffers common throughout area. Island communities (Callawassie, Spring Island) have particularly strict review.

Port Royal, Hardeeville, Ridgeland

Port Royal coastal properties face hurricane codes and possible OCRM jurisdiction for waterfront work. Hardeeville offers simplified permitting and lower costs with inland location avoiding coastal complications. Ridgeland provides most affordable exterior work with county permits and no coastal requirements.

Planning Your Exterior Renovation

Timeline

Exterior work runs 6-16 weeks depending on scope. Add permit processing (1-4 weeks), ARB review (4-6 weeks if applicable), or historic board approval (6-10 weeks). Total timeline: 3-8 months from planning to completion. Weather affects exterior schedules, particularly during hurricane season.

Investment and Value

Exterior renovation costs vary significantly: $20,000-$100,000+ depending on scope. Complete exterior makeovers with siding, windows, roofing, and painting run highest. Individual components (siding or windows alone) more affordable. Strong county real estate market makes exterior improvements solid investments maintaining property values and curb appeal.

Permitting

All areas require permits for exterior work. Coastal communities have additional requirements (hurricane ratings, flood zone documentation). Historic districts need board approval. HOA communities require architectural review. We handle all permitting, applications, and approvals.
