Design-Build in Cary
Home additions and renovations in Cary
You’ve built a life in Cary and don’t want to leave it. If the house no longer fits, we’ll redesign it around you.
Good neighborhoods, aging floor plans
A lot of Cary was built in the 1980s and 90s. Neighborhoods like Lochmere and Kildaire Farms filled in during those years, and MacGregor Downs goes back to the 1960s.
Cary’s own housing plan expects many of its 1990s homes to need major updates soon. Your neighbors are already investing in staying: the town issued about 1,300 addition permits in just five years.

What we’ve built in Cary
We’ve opened kitchens to the family room, reworked awkward islands, and taken a dated kitchen down to the studs to bring the wiring up to code. We’ve also remodeled a kitchen and three bathrooms together in one project.
When a family needs more space, we add it. We replaced an old deck with a sunroom, and built a 700 square foot addition with a primary suite designed for aging in place.
One family liked their new sunroom so much, they hired us for their kitchen next.
We handle permits and inspections with the Town of Cary.

Cary questions
Is it worth renovating a 1990s house in Cary?
Often, yes. The Town of Cary expects much of its 1990s housing to need substantial improvements in the coming years.
Updating the kitchen, baths, and layout in one project often costs less overall than doing them one at a time.
Can you remodel the kitchen, baths, and laundry room at the same time?
Yes. One project means one setup, one round of permits, and one disruption instead of several.
We’ve done it for Cary families, including a kitchen with three bathrooms and a kitchen with a laundry room and powder room.
Can you add a suite for a parent to our Cary home?
Often, yes. We plan in-law suites on the main level, with a private entrance and no stairs, and check your lot and setbacks during Design.
