Key Kings Locksmith is a locally owned locksmith based in Anderson, SC, serving homeowners, business owners, and drivers throughout Upstate South Carolina since 2025. Bonded and insured, the team handles house and business lockouts, lock rekeying and replacement, smart lock setup, master key systems and access control for businesses, and automotive key and fob programming. Uniformed technicians and marked vehicles serve Anderson, Greenville, and surrounding communities with transparent pricing and no hidden fees.

From its base in Mauldin, out on the Golden Strip, Window One Plus installs windows and doors.

Old wood and builder-grade windows come out, U.S.-made vinyl replacements with fully welded frames go in, and that swap is the core of the work. Vytex's Fortis series is the line they recommend. They take on odd shapes and sizes, like an octagonal window or an off-size sliding glass door, and also install entry doors, siding, roofing, and seamless gutters with guards. Don Broughman, who learned remodeling beside his father and uncle and now has more than 40 years in the trade, started the company in 2011, and it's still family-run. Crews cover the Upstate from Gaffney to Walhalla. Reviewers keep coming back to how the sale goes: Don usually measures and quotes in person, there's no hour-long pitch, and the first price is a straight one, not an inflated number waiting on a sudden discount.

Windows Incorporated, on North Pleasantburg Drive, both supplies windows and installs them, so a project can go from the order to the finished job without bringing in a second company.

Taylors Windows builds the windows it installs. Vinyl replacement and new-construction windows, from double-hung and casement styles to bay and bow units, are made at its own plant here in the Upstate. Mark Nichols bought the business in 1992, and it remains family-owned, not a franchise. Officially it is Taylors Window & Screen, named for where it started, in a shop on Main Street in Taylors. The lineup also includes sunrooms, porch and patio enclosures, screens, and patio, entry, and storm doors. Contractors and handy homeowners can buy windows direct for their own projects. The company covers the Upstate and reaches as far as Columbia, Charleston, and Asheville. Reviewers often single out the install crews as courteous and careful to leave the site clean, and some say buying from a local maker was part of the appeal.

Outside the Easley city limits, most of us either haul our own bags to the county drop-off or pay someone to come get them, and C&C is a name neighbors keep passing along. Their weekly pickup runs on a monthly subscription across Pickens County, from Easley out to Pickens and Liberty. The rest is heavier work: estate and eviction cleanouts, roll-off dumpsters for remodels, tearing down old sheds and mobile homes, and forestry mulching on overgrown lots. That side of the business reaches into Greenville and Anderson counties. It's locally owned, so you deal with the people who actually show up. Reviewers praise the fair prices, the quick turnarounds, and Jordan by name. One customer's old backyard building came down in a day, and Jordan returned the next day to make sure nothing was left behind.

LRC Waste Solutions posts flat rates for its three roll-off dumpster sizes, with a weight allowance built into each. The 15-yard suits tighter driveways and garage cleanouts, the 20-yard is the popular pick for roofing tear-offs and full renovations, and the 30-yard's taller walls take construction and demolition debris. Driveway protection, a barrier under the container that helps prevent scuffs on concrete and pavers, can be requested at booking. The team also speaks Spanish. LRC is family-owned and launched in 2024 as a part-time venture while its founder still worked full-time in manufacturing. Deliveries cover Greer, Taylors, Greenville, and Mauldin, and cross the county line to Lyman, Inman, Boiling Springs, and Spartanburg. It carries BBB accreditation, and a customer review there credits an on-time drop, a container placed exactly where it was wanted, and a dumpster far cleaner than expected.

JRS Junk Hauling will tear down the old shed, deck, or hot tub and haul off the pieces. It also takes whatever regular trash pickup won't, from a single couch or a pile of renovation debris to an estate or hoarding cleanout. Owner Jared started it in 2022 to make small hauls simple and fairly priced, and it's still his own local operation, not a franchise. Same-day and next-day pickups are an option, and anyone hauling their own load can drop it off with JRS by appointment when the landfill is closed. Jobs run from Travelers Rest to Fountain Inn and from Greer out to Easley and Powdersville. What reviewers bring up most is timing. He shows up when he says he will, and even oversized loads go out fast. One customer noticed everything left the house without a single bumped wall.

At American Advance Tree, the person who sizes up the job is the same one who does it, not a salesperson handing off to a separate crew. Owner Kevin Bronson, an ISA Certified Arborist who started the company here in the Upstate, calls it the Red, White & Blue Guarantee. Beyond pruning and stump grinding, the crew handles hazardous and storm-damaged removals, with 24/7 emergency response for the kind of mess a lot of us saw after Helene. More than a decade in, Bronson says the focus has shifted toward saving trees whenever possible. The company works within about 40 miles of Fountain Inn, including Simpsonville, Greenville, Greer, and Taylors. Customers keep mentioning jobs that matched the quote, cleanup down to the last twig, and careful work in tight spots, like a tree grown over a neighbor's chimney.

Dominguez Tree Service handles the tree work that comes with living among the Upstate's big oaks and pines, from cutting limbs back off a roofline to taking down a tree that has outgrown its spot. They work out of Piedmont, right where Greenville and Anderson counties meet.

Craig DeVore was an operating room nurse before tree work became his career. He learned the trade working for arborists in West Virginia to help pay for nursing school, carried a rock climber's rope skills into the canopy, and now runs his own crew as an ISA Certified Arborist. Jobs range from removals, pruning, and stump grinding to storm cleanup, emergency calls, lot clearing, and brush hogging, plus tree health and risk assessments for homes and businesses. They cover much of the Upstate, from Travelers Rest, Taylors, and Greer down through Greenville, Mauldin, and Simpsonville, west to Easley and Powdersville, and out toward Anderson and Pickens. Reviewers mention honest advice and pruning that shapes a tree naturally, but the cleanup gets the most praise, with customers saying their yard looked better after the crew left than before it arrived.

Owner Brad Stone is an ISA Certified Arborist, and his assessments sort out which trees can be saved with pruning, cabling, or bracing, and which need to come down. One customer's old sugar maple was trimmed and cabled to help it weather storms. When removal is the answer, the crew handles the tricky ones: big trees close to the house, a fence, or power lines. They'll also install lighting to show off a standout tree. Independent and locally owned, the company works for homeowners, HOAs, and businesses in Travelers Rest, Greenville, Greer, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Taylors, and Easley. For storm damage, they'll come anywhere in the Upstate. Customers mention Brad's clear advice and fair quotes, and they're just as quick to praise the cleanup, which leaves the yard in better shape than the crew found it.

High-risk removals are a specialty at Carson Tree Company: trees leaning the wrong way and dead limbs hanging over a roof. When a storm drops a tree on the house, they'll help with the insurance claim, too. Everyday removals, pruning, stump grinding, and land clearing round out the work, and there's an ISA-certified arborist on staff. It's a local company, not a franchise. Owner David Carson and his wife also founded Sammy's Mission, which provides faith-based transitional housing for men in addiction recovery. The tree business grew out of work David took on in 2021 alongside a mission resident who'd done it before. Crews cover Simpsonville, Mauldin, Fountain Inn, Greenville, Taylors, Greer, Travelers Rest, and Piedmont. Reviews keep coming back to the cleanup: yards left as clean as before, or cleaner, with the stumps ground and the wood hauled off.

For homes and properties around Greenville, Swamp Rabbit Tree Co takes care of tree trimming, pruning, and removal.

Reviews of Greenville Tree Co. read like a list of the hard jobs: a dying 80-foot maple beside the house, a pine on the roof after a storm, hollies too tall for a landscaper's insurance. The family-owned company, started in 2019 and run by Micaiah Wartak, keeps a knuckleboom crane and its own crane operator for big removals, and cables and prunes trees worth keeping. Every job chips in to Rooted for Good, which sends the crew and equipment to camps and churches that can't afford tree work, including The Wilds camp up near Brevard after Hurricane Helene. Crews work from Travelers Rest and Greer down to Mauldin and Simpsonville, and west to Easley and Powdersville. What customers mention most is the cleanup: plywood to protect the lawn, leaf blowers over every bit of sawdust, yards left cleaner than before.

Integrity Tree Co. chose its equipment to protect finished yards. A crane truck's grapple saw lifts cut sections out without touching the lawn, and the company skips a full-size skid steer on purpose. Owner Josh Moye, an ISA-certified arborist, started the business in 2008 with a pickup and a few saws, and it is still family-run. Beyond removals, the work covers arborist inspections, cabling and bracing for trees worth keeping, and storm calls when a tree lands on a house, including help with the insurance claim. There is even a furniture division, Integrity Millworks & Design, that can turn your removed tree into a custom table or desk. The crews work across Greenville, Greer, Mauldin, Simpsonville, Taylors, and Travelers Rest. Reviewers mention the cleanup again and again, and one describes a section of chain-link fence the crew took down to get equipment in, then reinstalled just as they found it.

In Line Tile covers both halves of a tile project from its Greer storefront, selling tile and building materials and handling the installation too.

Stone work sits right alongside tile in this Upstate contractor's trade, so a project that calls for both materials can go to one installer instead of two.

A good share of RCC Solar's reviews come from homeowners who never called about a new install. A system another company put in had quit working right, sometimes after that company went out of business, and Roberto and his crew took it on and got it producing again. New work covers rooftop and ground-mount arrays, battery backup, off-grid setups, EV chargers, and even small wind turbines, built around equipment from Tesla, Enphase, SolarEdge, SMA, and Fronius. The company, also known as RC Construction Solar, has been family-run out of Greer since 2008 and works across both Carolinas. Reviewers keep landing on the same few things about Roberto: he is straight with people about what a system will and won't do, he shows up when he says he will, and the yard gets left clean.

SC Septic is a Tier 3 installer, the top of South Carolina's three licensing tiers and the level required for the specialized engineered systems harder sites call for. Their work runs the full life of a system: perc tests and design before a build, installation for anything from a traditional house to a barndominium or tiny home, routine pumping, repairs, and inspections when a property sells. They also scope sewer lines by camera and clean grease traps for restaurant kitchens. Family-owned and locally operated, they take emergency calls around the clock. The service area spans six Upstate counties, so Taylors, Travelers Rest, Mauldin, Simpsonville, and Easley are in range, along with Polk and Henderson counties in North Carolina. Customers mention quick scheduling, crews that arrive on time or early, and problems fixed on the spot.
