Remodeling Contractors in Asheville, NC

4 local businesses listed

Remodeling an older Asheville home is part construction and part archaeology. Plaster over lath, framing that was modified by three previous owners, plumbing that takes an unexplained detour — it’s normal here, and it’s why a remodeler who works on local housing stock will talk about contingency before they talk about finishes.

Kitchens and baths are the most common projects, and both involve enough plumbing and electrical that they trigger permits and inspections through Buncombe County or the City of Asheville. That’s a good thing. Permitted work gets looked at by someone whose only job is checking whether it was done correctly.

The contractors listed work in Asheville and Hendersonville on kitchens, baths, and whole-house renovations.

Build a real contingency into the budget — ten to twenty percent on an older home, not five. The projects that go badly are rarely the ones that hit a surprise. They’re the ones that hit a surprise with no money left to deal with it.
