Renovation & Restoration in Charlotte
Older houses ask harder questions. We answer them first.
Renovation and restoration work is where the substrate matters more than the colour card. Plaster that has moved, wood windows with failed glazing, trim carrying eighty years of coatings — each has to be dealt with on its own terms before a finish coat is worth applying.
That usually means combining trades on one schedule: drywall & plaster to bring surfaces back flat, then interior painting or exterior painting to finish. On a remodel we work to the general contractor's programme rather than the other way round.
What's included

What you get out of it
- Repairs matched to the eraA 1930s trim profile and a 2020s one don't take a finish the same way. We work to the house, not to a default.
- One schedule for a messy stageRenovation is where trades collide. Having repair and finish under one name removes a handover.
- Honest about lead-era coatingsPre-1978 housing stock is common in these neighborhoods. We'll tell you plainly what that means for your job before work starts.
Renovation & restoration questions
Do you work alongside a general contractor?
Regularly. A good share of our work comes from GCs, and we build our schedule around the programme they're running rather than expecting the site to wait on us.
Can you match trim and mouldings in an older house?
The finish, yes — sheen, colour and line. For replacing a missing profile we work with the carpenter or millwork supplier so the new piece takes the finish the same way the old ones do.
What about lead paint in a pre-1978 house?
Much of the 1920s–40s stock in Eastover and Myers Park predates the 1978 ban. We'll walk you through what that means for the job before anything gets sanded, rather than after.
