A project doesn’t have to be large to involve substantial construction. What matters is what you’re changing and how that work affects the home.
Contractor services may be the right fit when you’re:
An addition is a good example. Updating an existing bedroom is mostly a remodeling project, but adding a brand-new bedroom changes the scope. You’re creating new space, which can involve framing, exterior work, utilities, zoning, permits, and inspections.
The same goes for structural changes. A project may look simple on the surface, but if it affects framing or other load-bearing parts of the home, there can be more involved behind the scenes.
The easiest way to tell the difference is to look at what you’re physically changing.
Contractor services generally make sense when you’re creating something new, expanding the home, altering its structure, or taking on a substantial construction project.
That can include additions, framing work, decks and porches, new residential construction, exterior replacement, and reconstruction.
If you’re mainly updating the layout, look, or function of a room that’s already there, remodeling is usually the better fit.
For example, renovating your existing kitchen is different from building an addition to make the kitchen larger. The end result may include many of the same features, but the work involved is quite different.
For smaller repairs, maintenance, installations, and other odd jobs around the house, handyman services are usually the better fit.
Sometimes what looks like a simple repair turns out to be more involved. If the damage affects framing or another structural part of the home, the project may need more than a routine fix.
You don’t need to know the exact service you need. Just tell us what you want to build, add, replace, or change.
An addition gives you more space by adding onto your home.
We handle room additions, primary suite additions, second-story additions, sunrooms, garage additions, in-law suites, kitchen additions, and bathroom additions.
If you want to make a kitchen or bathroom bigger, the work can be more involved because you’re creating new space.
That’s the main difference: remodeling changes the space you already have, while an addition gives you more square footage.
Some projects affect the parts of the house that support the structure around them.
That may involve structural framing for an addition, wall, floor, roof, or larger renovation. It can also include removing or changing a load-bearing wall to create a more open layout.
Once structural components are involved, the project requires more than planning around the finished appearance. The new layout still has to work with the structure that remains.
Outdoor projects can include building a new deck, replacing an old one, or adding a covered or screened porch.
We handle custom decks, composite decks, deck replacement, covered porches, and screened porches. If you’re planning a new deck or replacing one completely, our deck construction services go into more detail.
For smaller deck repairs, handyman or repair services may be a better fit.
Building an entire home is a very different project from changing one part of an existing property.
For homeowners planning a complete new residence, new home construction has its own scope, planning needs, and construction requirements.
Larger exterior projects can also fall within residential construction.
Our services include roof replacement, siding replacement, window replacement, exterior door replacement, and reconstruction after storm, water, or fire damage.
These projects may involve removing and replacing substantial sections of existing material rather than repairing one isolated area.
For larger projects involving several types of work that don’t fit neatly into one specific service, general construction may be the better fit.
If you know what you want to change but aren’t sure which type of construction work it involves, request an estimate online and describe the project.
Two projects that look similar at first can require very different levels of planning.
The scope can change when the work involves:
Knowing what is actually changing makes it easier to identify the right service and the questions that need to be addressed before construction begins.
Larger residential projects in Concord can involve local requirements that don’t apply to a small household repair.
The City of Concord handles zoning clearance, while Cabarrus County handles building permits and construction inspections. Projects such as additions, decks, screened porches, remodeling work, and new residential construction may go through these review processes depending on the scope.
The location of the work on the lot, zoning, setbacks, and other property details can affect what needs to be reviewed.
Structural changes, additions, decks, remodeling work, and new construction may involve building permits and inspections.
Homes within regulated historic districts may face additional review for certain exterior changes or new construction.
Understanding the scope early makes it easier to identify which local requirements may need to be addressed.
You don’t need finished plans or the perfect construction terminology before reaching out.
It helps to have a few basic details in mind:
