Company Background

Residential Tech is a Charleston-based, family-owned contracting business founded by Ricky Spell in 1992.

In 2019, his son Jake Spell joined the team, bringing a formal education in Construction Science and Management from Clemson University. This unique blend of seasoned craftsmanship and modern construction management ensures every project, from a complex roof replacement to a kitchen remodel, is handled with precision and care. As a local family business, they are personally invested in the quality and longevity of their work for their Charleston neighbors.

Q&A

How do you handle common Charleston roofing issues like gutter overflow and moisture in roof insulation?

Charleston's humid climate and heavy rains make proper drainage and ventilation critical. For gutter overflow, we assess your entire roof drainage system, ensuring gutters are properly sized, sloped, and free of debris that can cause backups during our frequent downpours. To combat moisture in roof insulation—a common issue that leads to mold and rot—we focus on creating a balanced attic ventilation system and installing appropriate vapor barriers during a roof replacement or repair. This local-specific approach protects your home's structure and interior air quality.

Can you manage both a roof replacement and a kitchen or bathroom remodel as one project?

Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor with over 25 years in business, we frequently coordinate multiple trades. For example, if a roof replacement reveals underlying structural issues from past moisture or termite damage—common in older Charleston homes—we have the licensed professionals on our team to handle the wood structural repairs immediately. We can then seamlessly schedule your interior kitchen or bathroom renovation. Managing all aspects under one roof ensures consistent communication, a single point of accountability, and a cohesive timeline for your entire home improvement project.

What sets your family-owned business apart from larger contractors in the area?

Our difference is in the direct, personal involvement of the Spell family. Owner Ricky Spell is on-site, applying his three decades of local construction experience to every job. His son Jake brings updated project management and building science knowledge from his Clemson degree. This means you benefit from time-tested craftsmanship paired with modern efficiency. As a hands-on family business, we're not just managing subcontractors; we're personally invested in the quality and durability of the work done on your Charleston home, from deck construction to building additions, ensuring it meets our own high standards.
