At a time when we’re seeing supply chain issues, delays in shipping, and shortage of manpower, many construction and renovations jobs are facing hold-ups. Blake suggests that one of the best ways to add value to your home quickly is with outdoor living spaces. From upgrading with pavers or flatscaping to installing a new pool or spa to creating an outdoor kitchen or living area with firepit, you can expand your home in a way that takes advantage of our beautiful coastal environment. As Blake says, “This is why people move here! You can be outside 10 out of 12 months, so we can design areas to take advantage of that. It increases the appeal and value of your home immediately.” Blake has the advantage of buying pavers and hardscape materials in bulk, so you won’t experience the same availability and delay concerns you’d have with lumber products and other construction materials. Even outdoor lighting projects can add appeal by showcasing our beautiful oak canopy or impeccable landscaping. Installing lighting also provides evening ambiance and security around the yard. Why wait to make your home as attractive as it can be? Blake is ready to help you turn your custom home dreams into reality and always provides free quotes for services.

Client testimonials speak loudest about the work performed by Seaside and the professionalism of Blake and his team. Emma Humphries gave this rave review: “I give Seaside Pavers & Tile my highest possible recommendation. We were hosting my grandparents’ 70th wedding anniversary (that’s right – 70 years!) and needed our pool deck complete. Even after two major setbacks beyond Seaside’s control (delivery delay and Hurricane Dorian), the team was able to get it done in time. I’ve never seen an owner and his team hustle like that! It’s also worth noting that the owner is very responsive and always shows up when he says he will. Oh, and the pool deck … it’s beautiful!”

Suzanne Price Pittman shared her experience: “I had a very small patio that was very unappealing. I met with Blake and was immediately impressed with both his creativity and professionalism. He took a small space at the Reserve at Demere and transformed it into a work of art. I would like to be able to say that I was involved in the design but was not at all. Blake’s creativity and attention to detail created an amazing space. And all this was done in a day! I enthusiastically recommend Seaside Pavers and Tile for any needs!”
