We celebrated those we love on Valentine's Day. But now, ask yourself this:

Do you love your home? 

If the answer is no, Cabinetry & Construction, Inc. can help you change that.

Cabinetry & Construction is the premier remodeling company for the distinct needs of home renovation projects in Richmond. Our complete, design and build contracting services focus on bathroom and kitchen remodeling; additions and whole house renovations; and historic restoration projects. 

We use luxury materials and choose fixtures well suited to preserve the integrity of the older homes that dominate our area. We can find period-appropriate resources and the special touches that make every job unique. 

One client recently wrote:

Cabinetry & Construction performed a wonderful remodeling project for our 110 year old Fan house. They did a complete remodel of our kitchen and two bathrooms. From demolition to the final coat of paint, Rob and his crew put quality into everything they did. They are all very nice to work with. Rob gives excellent design advice and helped us work through all the challenges that we faced. His many years of remodeling old houses is invaluable and he made suggestions for improvements that we had not even thought of, adding some very nice features which we now enjoy daily. I highly recommend CCI.

It is gratifying to know that our clients value our artisanry and expertise.

With Cabinetry & Construction, you will receive superior and seamless personal attention. Home remodeling is an intimate and invasive process. We often have to demolish before we can rebuild. Craftspeople will be in your house for a while. You'll want to know you're working with an expert. 

As a design build contractor, I will meet with you personally to provide a proposal and help you bring your vision to life. Because we design and build, you can rest easy, knowing the project plans and budget will be consistent with the result. I will be your single point of contact to keep you informed as your renovation moves along.

You'll also want to note that not only can we restore older homes to their historic prime, we can also incorporate the latest innovations in green technology. Your home can be rich in history, with 21st century efficiency and performance.

Restoring an older home, adding on to a new one, remodeling a bathroom or kitchen, or any major construction job in your home is an enormous undertaking. You need to know that you are in fully capable hands and you need to feel confident in the person leading the construction, as well as in the company performing the work. 

Give us a call and schedule a meeting. We will help you feel at ease with the project by truly understanding your goals and what you want and then explaining what can be done. Then your renovation will be executed and completed, on time and within your budget.

This is your home. We know you are making a big investment, personally and financially, when you decide to renovate. We strive not only to produce high quality work, but also to build satisfying long-term relationships with our clients.

2014 Cost vs. Value Report Finds Cost- Value Ratio for Home Improvement Projects Increased to 66.1%

For the second consecutive year, the national overall average cost-value ratio for home improvement projects has increased, reaching 66.1% (5.5 points higher than last year), according to the Remodeling 2014 Cost vs. Value Report (www.costvsvalue.com). 

This means that homeowners are now expected to recoup over 66% of the cost of home improvement projects when they sell their home.

That's right... According to the 2014 Cost vs. Value report for Richmond, sellers can expect to get back all of their investment and more from a bathroom remodel!
