Taylor Williams

Taylor began working at Servpro of Lexington/West Columbia when he was 15 years old. By college he had mastered the finer points of the industry including all areas of construction and small business management. After acquiring his degree in Operations Management from the University of South Carolina, he took over as construction manager of Servpro. Two years out of college, Taylor bought Servpro of Lexington/West Columbia, owning and operating it for 9 years. In 2021, Servpro Corporate was bought by a private equity company which changed the structure of the business and Taylor decided to sell his Servpro franchises in April 2023 to pursue new ventures. With Taylor’s management experience, plus Blake’s construction expertise, they found themselves an ideal match for just such a venture.

Taylor and his wife Isabel have 5 (soon to be 6!) rambunctious kiddos and a 12 year old cat named Sam. Raising 5 children and running a business are very time consuming, but when Taylor is able to get away he likes to ride around on a golf cart, drink beer, smoke cigars, and search for golf balls in the woods. Blake, a much better golfer, graciously tolerates Taylor’s lack of ability. If Taylor had unlimited amounts of time and money, he would travel abroad with his wife and children.


Blake Roberts

Blake began working as a construction sub-contractor for Servpro, a property restoration franchise, as a teen. Blake worked as an apprentice to his dad, Donnie, and gained a thorough understanding of all aspects of construction and carpentry. From flooring to drywall, paint to wood-working, Blake can do it all. Over time Blake expanded his skillset to include more specialized areas of carpentry, including furniture repair and cabinet building. Blake maintains a keen attention to detail, and a strong desire to please his customer every time. He loves innovating and learning new advancements and technology within carpentry and wood-working.

Blake and his beautiful and accomplished wife Christy have two lovely daughters and a brand new chocolate lab named Charlie. When Blake isn’t working, he enjoys golfing, hunting, and bass fishing. If Blake had unlimited amounts of time and money he would build furniture with traditional hand tools.
