Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone impacted by Hurricane Helene, especially those who have experienced devastating losses to their homes and livelihoods.

While our family is safe, we are currently without power and internet. Our neighborhood here in the upstate is on a block that may need to be rebuilt, so we don’t have a solid estimate on when power at our home will be restored.

We are working remotely from another facility with power during the day, and in the evenings using inverters and a mobile hotspot, though the internet is still down. We are doing our best to answer emails and accommodate everyone, so please continue to be patient with us as we navigate through these challenges.

We know that so many others have been affected more significantly than we have, and our hearts continue to go out to the people of WNC, TN, and elsewhere here in the Upstate of SC who have been so dramatically impacted. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to deliver your projects in a timely manner. Thank you so much for your support!
