Home Remodeling
If you love your home’s location in a premiere Charlotte-area neighborhood but dream of a more modern floor plan, don’t assume you have to move to get what you want… Consider whole home remodeling instead! If your house doesn’t quite fit your style anymore, a cost-effective interior home remodeling project can give new life to even the most dated homes. The design-build team at Palmer Custom Builders has the expertise to guide you through:
- Opening up boxy floor plans
- Improving the appearance and functionality of dated kitchens and bathrooms
- Improving accessibility in hallways, bathrooms and bedrooms
- Evolving your floor plans to make kitchens larger, add needed storage or “find” space for laundry rooms, pantries, home offices and more
- Flooring over a two-story space for additional square footage
The best home remodeling contractors know how to update more than style — we’ll also work to modernize utilities and improve functionality throughout the remodeling process. It’s a perfect opportunity to update lighting, plumbing and HVAC systems to today’s more energy-efficient models. Do your original hardwood floors need refinishing? Walls need a fresh coat of paint? Now is the time.
Whether you’re considering an interior remodeling project or a whole house remodel, our team will be there for you every step of the way to ensure everything is not only technically correct and up to today’s building codes but meets your family’s style and functionality requirements.

A wise investment with
immediate value
Remodeling your home is typically less expensive than the myriad costs associated with moving and usually ends up being far less disruptive to family life than a move. Keep your incredible location and add value to your existing home with a remodel — the end result is a beautiful home that meets your family’s needs without changing your lifestyle and routines.
Whole house remodeling is typically a wise investment in established and appreciating Charlotte-area neighborhoods such as Madison Park, South Park, Foxcroft, Dilworth, Myers Park, Cotswold, the Park Road and Marsh Road corridors, Providence Plantation, Weddington, Waxhaw and Union County, to name a few. These areas tend to have excellent access to work, school, food and shopping, but tend to have older homes that were built decades ago. Stay in the neighborhood you love while increasing your home’s value with a home remodeling.
Interior Home Remodeling
Compared to more extensive whole house remodeling projects or building a custom home from the ground up, interior remodeling is a cost-conscious option that still offers dramatic results. Why? Interior remodeling involves changing the look and feel of existing spaces. Because the more expensive elements of the space — flooring, walls, ceiling and utilities — are already in place, you are free to spend your budget on the finishes and features that make a tangible difference in your daily life.
Imagine what your family could do with more and more functional space. Whether it’s reclaiming open space to better accommodate guests when you are hosting large gatherings, finding the proper blend of private and public spaces for all family members, improving the overall flow of rooms, or adding sorely needed storage space, interior remodeling might be the right choice for you.

Licensed Professional Remodeler
While whole home remodeling and interior remodeling projects may not seem as complex as building a new home from the ground up, they require a higher level of experience. That’s because interior finishes, flooring and traffic patterns must be married so the new spaces appear and feel as if they have always been a part of the home. These key spaces should never appear to be an afterthought but should seamlessly blend with your home’s style and décor.
Our professional team has decades of remodeling experience and thoroughly understands what is required to bring your vision to life. Whether it’s time to convert that spare bedroom into a functional home office or to reclaim under-used basement or attic space, we can transform your home.

Jason & Ethel's Home Renovation
“We completed a total renovation of the main living areas and kitchen, which included removing a brick fireplace and replacing it with very large glass sliding doors, and windows. We very carefully vetted Palmer Custom Builders.
From the very beginning, they were careful to take their time to listen to our vision while evaluating their ability to meet our expectations, as well as help us set realistic expectations, within the allotted budget. The Palmer Custom Builders team worked together to listen, collaborate, plan, and execute our renovation project. Out of the carefully vetted contractors we interviewed, they were the only ones who suspected some potential serious issues which would greatly impact our project and budget. They planned for it in advance and convinced us to obtain an independent inspection to validate their suspicions. They proved to be correct and thanks to their expertise and professional guidance, their team was prepared for what was uncovered when the demolition phase began.
Their 30+ years of experience was undeniable when we reflect back on how they planned for this really big project. They took our design ideas and executed them cleverly, thinking outside the box to achieve astounding results. Their incredibly smart kitchen design truly exceeded our expectations. It was amazing to see the craftsmanship and planning behind our kitchen renovation. They restored our old kitchen cabinets, combined them with a new kitchen island which they turned in a different direction, bumped out the refrigerator, somehow provided us with a plumbed-in espresso station regardless of its impossible location, and converted a mess into a beautiful pantry. Everyone who visits is hard pressed to believe that the majority of cabinets are my previous cabinets, restored!
We had some significant personal losses during our renovation, and it was a very difficult time for our family. The Palmer team was so caring, and took care of every last detail to keep the project moving on time, without us having to worry about anything. Sure enough they finished on time and with the many challenges surrounding our project, it was quite reassuring knowing we had left our home with a team we could trust to do it right. They went above and beyond so we could move in immediately upon completion of the last inspection, an act of kindness we will never forget. There is so much more we could share, but can only squeeze so much into this review. This is a classy and reputable team who are dedicated to excellence, will stick with you until the end, and stand behind their word and work.“
Jill R.'s Kitchen and Primary Bath Renovation with Extensive Home Repairs
“I started off wanting to have my kitchen and bathroom redone. My house was built in 1959, and the bathroom was really tiny. I also had a list of about 60 items that I wanted to have fixed… When you have an older house, there are lots of things that need work. I found Gary Palmer on the web initially. After I learned about him and his qualifications, I wanted to meet them and see their office in person and make sure that everything was as it should be.
What I really appreciated was that when we first started looking at what needed to be done, Gary brought everyone together. I have a good-sized driveway, but we had so many people come to look and see and decide what needed to be done that there were pickup trucks all the way down my driveway and around the block. Everyone came at once… the demolition people, the flooring guys, the air conditioning company, the painter, the plumber, and of course, Gary himself. Everyone was here on that one day to look at the house, talk with Gary and then explain to me what needed to happen. I thought that was pretty amazing that he was able to bring that many professionals together in one place at one time – to make all those schedules work. They had talked about how they were able to coordinate, but this really demonstrated how this company could bring it all together.
It was really nice to have everyone who would be involved in the project there to look at the house and tell me what needed to happen for everything to come together. The house is so very nice now. They’ve brought everything up to date, and the difference between before and after is so drastic and so dramatic.”
Brad's Home Addition and Remodel
“A completely new space that meets all our needs now and in the future and that we simply enjoy living in so much more than before. Also increased our energy efficiency and fixed a lot of lingering ‘behind the scenes’ issues from having a house built in the ’60s. It truly is a totally new house, and we have added a ton of value. A great investment for us…
Palmer Custom Builders has been a joy to work with and we could not possibly be happier with the finished product. Gary, Pam, Maurene and the rest of the team clearly took a personal pride in getting the job done correctly and making our house everything it could be. I would recommend them to anyone for any job, large or small.”
