Kitchens, baths, additions, decks. One firm draws the plans, signs a fixed bid, and swings the hammers — so nothing gets lost between the drawing and the drywall. Renovation with the surprises engineered out.
Psst — hit BLUEPRINT in the corner. Every job here starts as a drawing; the site does too.
Line-item, fixed, margin shown. It moves only when you sign a change order — priced before a hammer does.
Every week of the build: what got done, what's next, and pictures from inside your walls. No wondering, ever.
Our carpenters and tile setter, a project lead you can call by name — subs only for licensed trades, the same ones for a decade.
Real numbers, real timelines. Ask, and we'll put you on the phone with the homeowners.
Load-bearing wall out, sage inset cabinetry, and a pantry where the old hallway used to die.
Curbless shower, heated floor, and tile set by a man who's done nothing else for 22 years.
Foundation to finished drywall, matched brick, engineering and permits handled in-house.
Composite boards, black aluminum rail, lit post caps — and footings sized for the hot tub they swore off. (They got it.)
*Dilworth's final reflects one homeowner-ordered change — an upgraded tub filler — signed and priced before install. That's the only way a number ever moves here.
Renovation misery is mostly surprise. We've spent fifteen years engineering it out — this is the sequence, numbered like the sheets we'll hang on your fridge.
We measure, listen, and give you a realistic range before we leave the driveway — not a lowball that grows teeth later.
Plans, selections, and a line-item bid where you can see where every dollar sits — including ours.
A start date we keep and a week-by-week plan. We don't start jobs we can't staff — that's how start dates stay true.
Dust walls zipped, floors protected, site broom-clean at night. Photo email lands every Friday at 4.
We walk the job together, fix every dot of tape, and hand over a 3-year workmanship warranty with a local address behind it.
A contractor's reputation is just what happens to the number after the signature. Our answer, on every job:
"They finished a week early — then came back and re-caulked the old bathroom for free because it 'bugged them on the walkthrough.'"The Hendersons · Dilworth · one of 64 five-star reviews
Usually 6–10 weeks to a start date. We'd rather quote you a true date than a flattering one — a contractor who can start tomorrow should worry you a little.
Old houses keep secrets. You get photos the same day, options with real prices within 48 hours, and nothing proceeds without your signature. Hidden-condition work is priced at the bid's rates — not "gotcha" rates.
Almost always. Zippered dust barriers, floor protection to the work zone, a temporary kitchen we help you stage, and a broom-clean site every single night. You live there; we never forget it.
No — and be suspicious of whoever is. We land mid-pack, but our number is the finishing number, the schedule is real, and the warranty is three years with a local address behind it. The cheapest bid is the opening chapter of a longer, sadder book.
A 20-minute call, then a walk-through if it's a fit. You'll hold a realistic range before we leave the driveway — useful even if you never hire us.
