Durham — 25 minutes from HQ
Durham is one of our most active markets. The city’s mix of mid-century ranches, century-old Victorians, and new infill construction means we see every kind of project — from gut-renovating a 1950s kitchen in Hope Valley to wiring an EV charger in a new Southpoint townhome.
We’re on I-40, so most Durham addresses are a 25-minute drive from our Raleigh shop. We typically have crews working in Durham 3–4 days a week.
What we do in Durham
- Remodeling — Kitchen and bathroom renovations are the top request in Durham’s older neighborhoods. Trinity Park and Old West Durham homes often need updated layouts, plumbing upgrades, and electrical panel capacity.
- Electrical — Panel upgrades for older homes, EV charger installation, lighting modernization, aluminum wiring remediation
- Plumbing — Galvanized pipe replacement (very common in pre-1970 Durham homes), water heater swaps, fixture upgrades
- Handyman — Drywall repair, door hanging, deck maintenance, and the accumulated punch list
Durham’s older housing stock
Durham has one of the Triangle’s largest inventories of pre-1970 homes. These houses commonly have:
- 60-amp or 100-amp electrical panels that can’t support modern loads (AC, EV charger, electric range). We upgrade to 200-amp service.
- Galvanized steel supply pipes that corrode from the inside out, reducing water pressure and producing rust-colored water. We repipe to PEX.
- Original single-pane windows, dated kitchens, and undersized bathrooms — all prime renovation targets.
If your Durham home was built before 1975, there’s a good chance it needs at least one of these upgrades. We can assess all three in a single walkthrough.
