Steve Hammett is the founder of M.S.

A third-generation home builder, Steve’s passion for construction began early—spending summers working with various trades in his father’s Spartanburg-based construction company.  He earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Business from Limestone College, graduating cum laude while working full time in the family business.  After college, he obtained his South Carolina Residential Home Builder’s License and later acquired an Unlimited General Contractor's License in North Carolina.

 

In 2012, Steve took on his first major renovation project and quickly developed a love for the creativity and complexity of remodeling.  Since then, he has completed a wide range of high-end renovation projects in some of Western North Carolina’s most prestigious gated communities, collaborating with some of the areas most renowned architects and interior designers.

 

Steve now focuses on large-scale renovations and custom remodeling projects throughout Asheville, Hendersonville, Lake Lure, and the upstate of South Carolina. 

 

He lives in Spartanburg with his wife Kristy, a college professor at Wofford College, his daughter Loie, and their two German Shorthaired Pointers, Ellie and Ollie. When he’s not immersed in construction projects, Steve enjoys spending time on his boat chasing redfish along the South Carolina coast.
