Home renovations—which often include updating finishes, replacing fixtures, and modernizing key details—are typically smaller in scale than full remodeling projects that change your home’s footprint. But just because the project is more compact doesn’t mean it deserves anything less than the expertise of a trusted home renovation contractor. At Palmer Custom Builders, we believe that whether you’re planning a kitchen upgrade, bathroom refresh, or whole-home update, you deserve the same level of quality and care from a professional home renovation company serving Charlotte and the surrounding areas.
