Large Remodels and Home Additions in Roanoke, Virginia

Whole-house remodels, home additions, basement additions and finished basements, and kitchen or primary suite remodels where walls move and we reroute plumbing and electrical. If your project moves walls or changes how the house is laid out, it is the kind of work we take on. Describe it on the form and we will give you a straight answer on fit.

It depends on the structure, the site and what you want to keep. A remodel keeps the parts of the house that work and rebuilds around them; a new house starts from the lot without the old plan's compromises. We build custom homes as well as remodels, so we can price both, and the recommendation is not tilted toward either answer.

It depends on the job. An addition or a basement is built mostly outside the rooms you live in, and the house is opened up at the tie-in. A whole-house remodel usually has a stretch where the kitchen or a bathroom is out of service. We plan the phasing with you in the contract phase and write it into the construction schedule, so you know which rooms are affected before the work starts.

Yes. Additions and structural remodels are permitted work under Virginia's statewide building code. Your locality issues the permit after reviewing the drawings and inspects each stage; we apply for the permit in the contract phase and build inspections into the schedule. Where a project disturbs enough ground to fall under Virginia's erosion and sediment control rules, the person responsible must hold Responsible Land Disturber certification from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. We hold it.

You see a real number once we understand the job, and that is not the first call. We start from your goals, your vision and your budget, look at your drawings or help you get to a set, walk the house, and price it with the trade partners who will build it. In a remodel some cost sits inside the existing structure until it is opened, so the estimate lists our assumptions beside the number.

Yes. The work on this page sits in Fincastle and Buchanan in Botetourt County, Rocky Mount in Franklin County, and Roanoke County. We remodel and build additions in Roanoke and Salem, at Smith Mountain Lake, and out as far as Blacksburg, Lynchburg and Staunton. If your house is further out than that, call anyway; whether we take it depends on the job more than the distance.
