Many Charlotte homes built in the 1960s, '70s and '80s have good bones but dated kitchens, tired bathrooms and closed-off layouts. A full remodel brings the whole house up to date at once. You get one design, one schedule and one budget, instead of managing separate contractors room by room. We start with your ideas, needs and budget, develop them into a complete plan, and manage every trade from demo day to the final walkthrough.
What a Full Home Remodel Can Include
- Kitchen remodeling: cabinets, countertops, islands, backsplash, lighting (kitchens)
- Bathroom remodeling: walk-in showers, tub conversions, vanities, tile (bathrooms)
- Layout changes: opening walls, adding beams, creating open-concept living spaces
- Structural work: load-bearing wall removal, framing and repairs
- Electrical: new circuits, panel upgrades, recessed lighting, fixtures
- Plumbing: relocated fixtures, new supply and drain lines
- HVAC: ductwork and system updates as part of the remodel
- Basement finishing & conversions: turn storage space into bedrooms, offices, media rooms or guest suites, including framing, drywall, HVAC, flooring, lighting and basement bathrooms
- Flooring throughout: hardwood, LVP, tile and carpet (flooring)
- Painting & drywall: walls, ceilings, trim and doors (painting)
- Doors, trim, lighting & fixtures: the finishing details that tie the house together
We have dedicated teams for every trade, including structural, electrical, plumbing and HVAC, all coordinated by one Project Manager. We pull permits when needed.
Featured Project: 1960s Whole-House Renovation in SouthPark
★★★★★ "We hired Remodel CLT for a whole-house renovation of our 1960s home and couldn't be happier with the results. They handled everything including structural work, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, bathrooms, flooring, paint, fixtures, and a full kitchen remodel. The team was professional, communicative, and the quality of work was outstanding. They stayed on schedule, were transparent with pricing, and there were no surprise costs. Our home looks incredible and we'd highly recommend them to anyone in the Charlotte area!" — Austin, SouthPark
Basement Finishing: Storage Basement to Living Space in Eastover
In this 1940s Eastover home, we turned a cluttered storage basement into finished living space. We built a new room with built-in closet shelving and handled drywall, carpet, new doors and trim, and recessed lighting, plus an HVAC extension so the space stays comfortable year-round.

- Structural and systems work: beams, electrical, plumbing, HVAC
- Finish level: cabinetry, countertops, tile and fixtures
