Chef-designed kitchens and function-first baths, built by a licensed NC general contractor — right here in Davidson.
Davidson asks more of a remodeler than most towns. The blocks around the college green hold homes a century old — plaster walls, heart-pine floors, original trim worth protecting — while River Run and newer streets carry '90s and 2000s construction with a different set of problems: builder-grade cabinets, islands placed by formula, and ventilation as an afterthought. The right remodel looks different in each.
In the historic core we design to the house: inset cabinetry, period-correct casings, modern function hidden inside traditional forms. In newer Davidson homes we usually fix the layout first — a chef notices within minutes why a kitchen fights you, and it's almost always the geometry between range, sink, and refrigerator. Either way, the same licensed GC crew builds it, and the same weekly schedule keeps you informed.
Local logistics: Homes in Davidson's local historic district may require a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior changes; interior remodels typically do not, but we confirm scope with the town before design is final.
