The intimacy of a fireplace, set within the expanse of the outdoors.

This covered porch was designed to feel like an extension of the home—where comfort meets open air. From the beautiful vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling to the modern extruded aluminum handrail system, every detail was chosen with purpose.

The exterior fireplace with integrated TV mount creates the perfect space for gathering—whether it’s a quiet evening or hosting family and friends.

A place to slow down, connect, and enjoy the outdoors.

Built to impress. Designed to last.

This project features one of the largest decks we’ve ever completed—crafted with an extremely dense tropical hardwood known for its unmatched durability and longevity. The rich medium-brown to reddish hues bring a natural warmth that only gets better with time.

To elevate the design, we installed the decking boards at a 45° angle from the house creating an accent that adds movement and visual interest as you transition down a custom staircase to a private 10x10 platform below. This multi-use space is the perfect extension of outdoor living, combining beauty with function.

From the expansive layout to the intentional details, every element of this build reflects a luxury finish and thoughtful craftsmanship.

Employee Highlight: James Fedele

Role at Acumen: Carpenter/Builder/Mason

Acumen Builders often responds to 5-Star reviews by declaring “we work with some of the best clients in the upstate.” While this is true, Acumen Builders receives those 5-Star reviews largely because it has some of the best employees in the upstate.

James Fedele has been with Acumen for over 5 years and has been Josh Bennett’s right-hand man. James is a multi-trade carpenter and builder whose skills allow Acumen to function with less staff and more talent.

As builders, Acumen works in our client’s homes and garages and master bathrooms, which makes integrity, honesty, and trustworthiness a top priority in our professional relationship. James has a personal value system rooted in his own faith and morality that mirrors Acumen’s care and respect for clients so well that we have to acknowledge that a portion of our reputation is actually James’ integrity credited on us.

Acumen Builders became the HBA ”Remodeler of the Year” thanks to employees like James, and we just wanted to acknowledge him today.

A fresh take on a classic Jack & Jill bath

Crisp white subway tile, a custom marble vanity, polished chrome fixtures, with a hint of neutral tones create a space that feels both clean and polished. The mosaic accent niche and basket weave tile flooring add just the right amount of texture and detail without overwhelming the design.

Tailored for everyday life. Built with intention.

If you’re ready to elevate your home with craftsmanship that lasts, we’d love to connect.

His & Hers. Designed with purpose.

This Master Bathroom upfit includes a double vanity that anchors the space with symmetry and sophistication, while the mirror-accented tower draws the eye upward to the 9-foot ceilings. 

Underfoot, a softened honeycomb tile flows seamlessly beneath the shower glass enclosure, creating a curbless transition that feels effortless and refined. A central framed mosaic detail adds dimension — delivering a subtle “luxury carpet” effect in tile form.

Inside the shower, lattice-style tile walls conceal a three-tier inset niche, blending function with artistry. Overhead, the rainfall shower head gently cascades, transforming everyday routine into a spa-like experience.

Cool white lighting, silver accents, and natural stone finishes create a space that feels crisp and clean — yet surprisingly inviting.

Not every project begins with inspiration.
Some begin with disruption.

This home experienced a significant water leak that impacted multiple levels — requiring demolition, insurance coordination, and detailed restoration planning.

When we were brought in, the process was already underway. What our clients needed wasn’t just repairs — they needed clarity, direction, and a path forward.

Through careful planning, structural collaboration, and intentional design, we helped transform a difficult situation into a refined, welcoming, and highly functional home. That’s the difference thoughtful building makes.

We are grateful for clients who trust us not only with their homes — but with the responsibility of restoring those homes well.

If your home has experienced unexpected damage and you’re not sure where to turn, start by filling out the Start Your Project form on our website. Let’s create a clear plan and move forward with confidence.

Building Intentionally goes beyond the jobsite.

Recently, Josh Bennett, co-owner of Acumen Builders, along with James and Paul, members of the Acumen team, traveled to a rural community in Ethiopia to help build a school for children of Omo Valley.

For several weeks, they worked side-by-side with local builders—laying block, framing, and using their skills to serve a mission far greater than themselves.

This school is being built with a purpose that reaches beyond its walls. In a region impacted by ongoing tribal conflict, the hope is that children from different tribes will come together in one place to learn compassion, respect, and peace—side by side. The vision is simple but powerful: when children are taught to love and respect their fellow man, generations of division can begin to heal.

At Acumen Builders, we don’t just build with professionalism—we build with purpose. Giving back, serving others, and using our skills to make a lasting impact is part of who we are. This trip reflects our belief that intentional building can change lives, communities, and futures.

We are incredibly proud of Josh, James, and Paul for representing Acumen so well, and for reminding us that some of our most important work is building hope in the Upstate and around the world.

A discrete pantry, beautifully hidden away—but designed to be used every single day.

This space combines custom cabinetry, a barn-style sliding door, and beautiful shelving to keep everything clean, convenient, and effortlessly organized. Inside, it’s brightly lit with a cheerfully tiled floor that elevates both form and function.

Proof that practical storage can be both refined and inviting.
