Eric Schwertfeger grew up on James Island, upon graduation from high school attended Trident Technical College. I worked for a mechanical contrator in the Charleston area, after 4 years he went to work at the Charleston Naval Shipyard as a pipefitter. When I was layed off prior to the base closing in 1990. I started a furniture refinishing company where he made many contacts in the insurance field, I did not like being inside in a warehouse all day so in 1997 went to work for a General contractor in the Charleston area for 5 years as a project manager prior to starting his own company. ELS CONSTRUCTION was started in 2002, I did mainly insurance work consisting of fire and water damages for many insurance companies. During this time in the companies life most of the work consisted of repairs on water damaged and building back burnt up homes. Around 2005 I started doing more work directly for home owners and working with Architects on additions and remodels. From the mid 2000's to present most of our work has been additions and remodels although we do build some new custom homes. I have always felt that no matter what size a project i wanted to be hands on and build each and every one as though it was for myself and that detail to quality was never comprimised while staying in or under budget. This kind of dedication is reflected in the number of call backs and warranty issues we have, they are very few. ELS Construction holds a Residential Home Builders License as well as a General Contractor License and are fully bonded and insured. We can supply architectural services as well as structural engineering if you dont have one. I always say this to the list of customers that i have that they are part of the ELS Construction family and I intend to do everything in my power to make sure they remain part of the family. In his time off Eric enjoys time with his family, fishing, working in his yard, hunting and farming.
