Home Additions and Renovations

James Lynn Builders is a residential general contractor offering services for larger additions and renovations in the upstate of South Carolina.

North Main Area Addition and Renovation

This project was designed by LS3P and added a lot of space and functionality to this house.  A garage and mudroom were added onto the main floor, and a bedroom with an in-suite bathroom were added above.  The kitchen and dining room locations were switched which allowed a small sitting room to become a new pantry.  The attention to detail during the design and construction of this project meant that the addition looks like it’s always been there.

North Main Complete House Renovation with Covered Front Patio

This house on North Main Street has seen several renovations and additions throughout its history.  Unfortunately, that meant that the house was no longer functioning seamlessly.  Thanks to a great design provided by Tindall Architecture Workshop, the new layout flows really well and takes advantage of the existing space to the fullest.  We renovated the majority of the house.  The kitchen was moved to the old dining room to provide more space, and the butler’s pantry has been reworked to tie into the new dining room location.  We covered an existing front patio, and that ties into the new dining room location to provide a great space for entertaining.  A new powder room was added downstairs, and the upstairs was rearranged to create a new master suite.  

Watson Orchard Kitchen

This 1970’s house already had a large kitchen, but it lacked some of the modern functionality and openness the owner needed to fit with his love of cooking.  While the footprint was spacious, the eight foot ceilings made the space seem tighter than it was, so the addition of a vaulted ceiling and some skylights really opened it up.  New cabinets provide all the storage and features an avid chef would want, and the 48”, six burner, gas range will provide all the cooking space and heat needed.  The large island works well for prep work or a nice breakfast space.  This was the second renovation we have done for these homeowners, we are always happy to have repeat customers!

Parkins Mill Area Renovation

This renovation in the Parkins Mill area of Greenville mainly involved a new kitchen and converting an existing bedroom into a new master bath and master closet.  Beyond those two areas the existing home had wallpaper in almost every room which was removed.  There was also some existing laminate flooring and carpet that was removed and replaced with standard oak flooring on the main floor and engineered oak flooring in the basement.

Full Renovation Near Table Rock

We began this full renovation on a 1920's cabin near Table Rock earlier in the year.  The cabin is owned by Greenville Water and serves as the residence for the caretaker who looks after the reservoir and the surrounding watershed land.  The design of the project was done by DP3 Architects out of Greenville, and it was a pleasure to work with them on this project.  We re-worked almost every part of this cabin from the ground up.  There were several foundation and structural issues that we remedied.  All new mechanical and electrical systems will really help out with livability and energy efficiency.  The spray foam insulation makes a world of difference for comfort and energy efficiency.  The effect of the spray foam was really apparent in the upstairs rooms with the cut up spaces and vaulted ceilings.  New bathrooms and a new kitchen will make living in the house not feel too rustic.

Whole House Renovation and Kitchen Addition

This 1930’s home off of East North Street in Greenville was entirely renovated, with the exception of the bathrooms.  Walls were removed between the kitchen, dining room, and a sitting room to create one large living area.  An old mudroom was removed from the back of the house and an addition was constructed to further expand the living area.  The rest of the house was repainted and the floors were refinished.  A new roof was installed on the whole house, and the exterior walls were insulated.
