How long does a kitchen remodel take?
WNC kitchen remodel timelines: 8-12 weeks for a cosmetic refresh (paint, cabinet refinishing, new appliances, lighting), 10-14 weeks for a mid-range remodel (semi-custom cabinets, soapstone or quartz counters, new tile, no structural changes), and 14-22 weeks for a full custom or structural remodel (wall removal, layout change, premium finishes). Anna captures scope at intake so we set realistic expectations from day one.
Are you licensed in North Carolina?
Yes. StoneRidge holds North Carolina General Contractor License #82194 (Unlimited classification, residential) issued by the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors. Required for any residential project over $30,000 in NC. Marcus Reid holds NARI Certified Remodeler credentials, and StoneRidge is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm (NAT-F148532).

Do you handle historic district approvals?
Yes — Asheville has multiple historic districts (Montford, Albemarle Park, Chestnut Hill, Battery Park, Grove Park-Sunset Mountain) requiring Historic Resources Commission (HRC) approval for exterior changes and many interior modifications. StoneRidge has completed 47+ HRC-approved projects since 2014 and our preservation specialist Anya coordinates every application. Most submissions approved on first review.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Asheville?
Asheville-area pricing varies by scope: powder room refresh $10,000-$18,000; secondary bathroom remodel $20,000-$35,000; primary bathroom standard remodel $30,000-$55,000; primary bathroom with structural changes (wall push-out, layout reconfiguration, heated floor, curbless shower) $55,000-$90,000. Anna captures scope and finish-level preference at intake so the consultation includes accurate budget direction.
Can you renovate a 100+ year old mountain home?
Yes — historic and century-home renovation is a StoneRidge specialty. We have completed 60+ projects on homes built before 1925, including stone foundations, hand-hewn timber framing, original-pattern window restoration, period-appropriate millwork, and chimney rebuild work. Our preservation specialist coordinates with the Preservation Society of Asheville and Buncombe County for technical guidance when needed.
Do you renovate vacation cabins?
Yes — cabin renovation is a significant part of our Western NC business. Maggie Valley, Lake Lure, Burnsville, and Blowing Rock vacation cabins typically need a mix of restoration (log chinking, rotted log replacement, original window restoration) and modernization (kitchen / bath / HVAC / electrical upgrades). We have streamlined remote-coordination workflows for out-of-town homeowners — most decisions handled via emailed photo packets and video walkthroughs.
How does Anna handle insurance restoration calls?
For storm damage (frequent in WNC), water intrusion (common during spring rains), or post-fire restoration calls, Anna routes to our dedicated insurance lane. She captures the carrier name, claim number, adjuster contact, and a brief scope description. Our restoration team coordinates with your adjuster and executes with the same craftsmanship standard as our planned remodels.
Which software does Anna integrate with for remodelers?
Anna connects to the platforms remodelers use: Buildertrend (the dominant design-build PM platform), CoConstruct (now part of Buildertrend), JobNimbus, and Procore (for larger commercial work). Design consultation bookings flow directly into your CRM with project scope, budget tier, timeline driver, RRP flag, and historic-district flag pre-populated.
