All of these projects required planning and care. Dave is honest, direct and very eager to satisfy his costumers. He stuck by his bid even though the circumstances on one of the projects were worse than he anticipated. Most of all Dave and his team are skilled craftsmen that take a great deal of pride in their work. As a result we had an excellent experience with Dave Hawk carpentry. he has a wide range of capabilities from the small highly crafted project to the complete house. **★★★★★ — Everett Gilliam, Sept. 2020** > Excellent, I have used Dave Hawk LLC in the past and would definitely use him again in the future. Owners Dave and Jan as well as their staff provided an exceptional experience from design to completion of work at my home on Lake Keowee. They are always professional, courteous, and pay particular attention to detail. The quality of work was detailed. The job was completed on time. I was so impressed with Dave’s knowledge, interest, and time spent to help solve any problem, even though he had nothing to gain. This is not a company that rushes you into decisions, they are really there for the customer and offer their years of experience and knowledge. I have been extremely pleased with Dave Hawk LLC’s collaborative approach, transparency, proactivity, and their level of service and responsiveness was top notch expertise. I sincerely recommend Dave Hawk LLC and hope to have them back for other projects! **★★★★★ — pugsleap05, Aug. 2020** > Dave took on a very tricky repair job for us on a two level deck with a sinking corner post. He was able to add concrete footings that had been missing and rebuild and strengthen both decks with superior materials, as well as adding an under deck with a gutter to act as a ceiling for the lower deck. He went out of his way to make it attractive and worked around a lot of inconvenient weather to get the job done. We are so pleased with the result. **Comment from Dave Hawk LLC:** > So glad you like the results, it was a pleasure working on your home. **★★★★★ — Dean Tucker, Feb. 2020** > Dave did a great job building out house on a mountain stream. we live in Florida so we could not be around to check on the progress and quality of work. Dave kept us informed and responded to changes. He is a top notch craftsman and really knows the construction business. **★★★★★ — Lee C, Jan. 2020** > They built the foundation. Did the finish plumbing, electric and built porch stairs. Completed on time. Good communication and work. **★★★★★ — Cynthia Hansen, Jan. 2020** > We have a lakefront home on Lake Keowee. The home is a typical lake house with a walk-out basement and an elevated deck on the lake-side of the house. When the house was built by the original owners, the deck, which faces south, was created without a roof to keep the elements and sun off the deck. The result of an open south-facing deck meant the deck was too hot to use during the sunny summer. > > We found Dave Hawk, LLC on Houzz.com, and we gave him a call. Dave came out promptly and recognized our need immediately. He quickly envisioned a solution to our problem and presented a written quote within a few days. We engaged Dave and the project proceeded. Dave obtained the building permit, materials were delivered within a few days, and work commenced. Dave brought in a team of carpenters, an electrician and a roofer. The workers were professional and kept the site organized and clean during the project. Dave was on-site often and kept an eye on detail to ensure that we were happy with the result. > > We now have a well-constructed and attractive roof over our deck. It looks like it was built with the house, not as an add-on. We’ve enjoyed working with Dave and currently have engaged him on an interior renovation. **★★★★★ — Donna McManus, July 2016** > What a pleasure to write this letter about Dave and Jan Hawk of Mountain Lake Builders, who turned our daydream into a reality, by "going above and beyond" to build us a magnificent custom home. Always responsive... > always eager to design and build the many "tweaks" we requested along the way...and always with an eye to providing absolute quality at the lowest possible cost... they were a pleasure to work with. > > We've received many comments, from "those in the know" about the quality of the construction, allowing us to feel not only joyful but safe and secure. From the start, we felt them to be folks of great integrity who took great pride in their work and strove for nothing less than perfection. We were right! > > Bob and Donna **★★★★★ — timguin, June 2015** > A big "thank you" to the Mountain Lake team for your efforts to make our new deck and outdoor living project a complete success. We were very unsure that this project would meet our expectations or add value to our home. You helped us accomplish both! > > The project exceeded our expectations. The quality and attention to detail were superb. When we decided to move forward with your plans, we were considering selling our lake home. This successful project has changed our minds. > > We had prior experience building two homes. This was the smoothest experience of the three construction projects. We will be calling on you again. Thank you! **★★★★★ — will3106, May 2015** > MLB did a great job on our project on Lake Keowee. We hired MLB to reside our house and rebuild the deck, twice as large as the original deck. Dave and Jan provided design services that were great, as well as first class construction. Their level of service and responsiveness was top notch. We would definately use them again. ## Selected projects - [Screen Porch and Wrap-Around Deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/screen-porch-and-wrap-around-deck-pj-vj~6459236) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Lake Jocassee Repairs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-jocassee-repairs-pj-vj~6355235) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - Description: This home on Lake Jocassee is unique as it's only one of a handful of lots approved for lakefront property. When the homeowners purchased it, there were several areas of wood rot from previous owners' neglect. We have an on-going relationship with them to work through improving these areas, keeping the owner's budget in mind. We also respect their privacy by scheduling the repair work so as not to interrupt their precious lake time! - [Lake Keowee Connecting Decks](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-keowee-connecting-decks-pj-vj~6364571) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: Outside spaces for lakefront homes are very important and used nearly all year. Having a system of adjoining decks make it more enjoyable. This home had space to add a small portion of deck, making a big difference by providing flow between the other decks. - [Lake Hartwell Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-hartwell-renovation-pj-vj~1279210) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: Dave Hawk transformed this older, dark two bedroom, one bath home into a bright and open true Lake House without adding any additional square feet. We enclosed the original screen porch and opened it to the living room, moved the kitchen to the front of the house to create space for a master suite. The whitewashed beadboard, bright kitchen and painted fireplace creates a welcoming home for our clients who frequently entertain family and friends at their lake getaway. - [Deck Repair](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deck-repair-pj-vj~6118008) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: These homeowners had a dangerous situation on their deck; it had sunk to a very uneven level. Dave investigated the causes and determined that it was water run-off which had caused the support posts to sink, along with sub-standard footings being in place. The lower deck boards were removed, new footers poured for new support posts and the deck was raised back to its original position. Any future water damage risk was addressed with flashing and re-direction of run-off. A combination of keeping… - [Rocky Bottom Stream Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rocky-bottom-stream-home-pj-vj~6067856) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 31 - Description: Our clients had an old family cabin on a beautiful stream, but the home was very primitive, one step up from camping, used for hunting get-aways and short visits. We demolished the original cabin and built a comfortably cozy new home that takes full advantage of the lot, nestled on a protected stream. - [Getaway Manufactured Cabin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/getaway-manufactured-cabin-pj-vj~6024555) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: This family purchased a mountain view lot in Greenville County. The cabin was manufactured off-site, and we supervised the project and provided foundation, utility connections and final touches to complete the project. - [Open deck conversion to covered deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/open-deck-conversion-to-covered-deck-pj-vj~5997309) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: This home on Lake Keowee had a front covered patio, with an open deck above. The homeowners wanted to cover the upper deck with a roof extending from the existing roof. This addition gives them a lovely space to relax and enjoy their lake view, while shielding the home from the elements. - [Mike and Kathy's deck replacement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mike-and-kathy-s-deck-replacement-pj-vj~5523333) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - Description: This family decided to relocate from New York to the beautiful Lake Keowee in Upstate South Carolina. The older home they chose had a bulky deck that didn't fit their needs. We redesigned a completely new deck, removing the existing. The new two level deck now blends well with the home and provides the comfortable outdoor space that gives the family beautiful views to the yard and lake and enables them to truly enjoy the lifestyle they moved here for. - [River Bluff Contemporary Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-bluff-contemporary-home-pj-vj~1853279) - Location: Sunset, SC - Photos: 17 - Description: We designed and built this contemporary home in the Upstate South Carolina area for wonderful clients who had a vision of what they desired in their new home. It's quite different from most mountain homes in this area, but we achieved a truly unique home. It takes full advantage of the views, and suits their lifestyle and tastes. - [Jack's Cabin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jack-s-cabin-pj-vj~2848640) - Location: Salem, SC - Photos: 15 - Description: We did a whole makeover on this cabin and really made it POP! The owner prefers sleeping in the loft, but there was no bathroom up there, which caused annoying trips downstairs at night. The added dormer gave plenty of room for a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. The new bathroom was located above the existing one downstairs by adding the plumbing connections and adding a slightly dropped ceiling to the downstairs bath. All finishes are natural wood to match. Outside we removed the old, rotti… - [Will and Robin's Deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/will-and-robin-s-deck-pj-vj~1118442) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: This home had a small, worn deck and siding that made their home just "one of kind". New siding, paint and an expanded deck gave the homeowners a clearer view of the water, more outdoor space, and now they stand out as one of the unique lakefront homes that make Lake Keowee beautiful. - [Jeff and Kathy's deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jeff-and-kathy-s-deck-pj-vj~1066612) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: This house needed a deck face lift, as the owners were putting it on the market. A home on the lake deserves a fresh outdoor space, and this renovation resulted in a very quick sale. - [Lake Keowee Kokomo Deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-keowee-kokomo-deck-pj-vj~903555) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 26 - Description: This home had very little usable outdoor space. With only a cramped screen room above and enclosed patio below, the homeowners were unable to enjoy and entertain at their beautiful lakefront property. We transformed the entire back of their house into a dual level living area. The upper deck is partially roofed with a new gas fireplace inserted into the existing chimney. The family can now relax outdoors either under cover by the warm fire, or star-gaze on the many beautiful evenings Lake Keowee… - [Basement Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basement-renovation-pj-vj~449734) - Location: West Union, SC - Photos: 6 - Description: We designed and built this basement build-out on Lake Keowee. What started as an unfinished basement ended with bedrooms, new bath and a great room/bar area, as well as a storage room for all their lake toys. The support beams in the ceiling were transformed into focal points with custom beadboard and trim. A matching bar was designed and built with a small kitchen area with a beautiful granite counter top. The shower features pebble tile floor and accent tiles. - [Bedroom Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bedroom-addition-pj-vj~449497) - Location: Salem, SC - Photos: 10 - Description: Lake Keowee homeowners wanted to expand their master bedroom and closet area. The original home has a very detailed Craftsman style, and it was important to carry that style through the addition. We designed an addition that expanded the bedroom and added a walk-in closet/dressing area. Using the existing double door with transom and new matching windows, we designed a pine accent wall that lets plenty of light in from the new balcony. The exterior of the addition was treated with stained shakes… - [Lakefront Deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakefront-deck-pj-vj~449661) - Location: West Union, SC - Photos: 8 - Description: This homeowner had a bulky, multi-level deck on their lakefront property that they seldom used because each of the levels were small and awkward. We designed and built a single level deck that opened up the back of their home giving them a spacious entertaining space and improved lighting and lake views from their living room and basement below. We used a composite decking material and metal spindles that will remain beautiful for years. This project was completed in 3-4 weeks.
