Design-Build in Preston
Additions and renovations in Preston
You plan to stay in Preston for years to come. Your 1990s house needs to keep up.
Thirty-five subdivisions, built in the 1990s
Preston’s community association covers 35 subdivisions and about 1,300 homes near Prestonwood Country Club. By our count of Wake County records, three in four houses here were built in the 1990s.
The Town of Cary’s own housing plan expects much of its 1990s housing to need major updates. That’s most of Preston.
What a 30-year-old house needs
We remodel kitchens and bathrooms, often together in one project. You live through one renovation instead of two.
If the family needs more room, we add a sunroom, a suite for a parent, or living space over the garage.
Two layers of HOA rules
Preston’s Architectural Control Committee reviews exterior changes, including new structures and changes to materials or roofing. It checks your plans against its own standards and the covenants of your subdivision.
That approval comes before the building permit. We plan for both during Design, then handle permits and inspections with the Town of Cary.

What our clients say

Rose W. Kitchen, laundry room, and powder room remodel, Cary -

Preston questions
Do I need HOA approval before a building permit in Preston?
Yes. The association’s standards say no Town of Cary or Morrisville building permit may be applied for before the Architectural Control Committee approves the plans.
We prepare the drawings for that review during Design.
Can an addition use vinyl siding?
No. Preston’s standards prohibit aluminum and vinyl siding, so we plan materials that match your house.
