Sullivan's Island was Hurricane Hugo's Cat 4 ground zero in 1989 and still references that benchmark for storm-rebuild standards — Pro GC deploys from Florida (where we worked Ian, Helene, and Milton) for major-loss insurance restoration ($25K+) and partners with vetted Charleston-area subcontractors for trade scope

Pro GC is licensed in Florida as a Certified General Contractor (CGC). For projects in South Carolina, Pro GC has filed for direct SC Residential Builder License licensure with the SC Residential Builders Commission; pending issuance, Pro GC operates via locally-licensed South Carolina general contractor partnership as permit-of-record on major-loss insurance projects ($25K+ scope). Our FL crews deploy under the partner's permit and our combined project documentation satisfies homeowner-policy claim requirements. The state threshold requiring a SC Residential Builder License is $5,000+ residential, which Pro GC's $25K+ major-loss project floor exceeds.
Pro GC's $25K+ major-loss project floor means every Sullivan's Island engagement is a permit-pulled, fully-documented insurance restoration — not handyman or under-threshold residential work. Our deployed-crew model + local-partner permit relationship is built for the homeowner who has a real claim file and needs a contractor with the documentation discipline carriers require.
