Whole-home renovations + additions across WNC — design-build from sketch to certificate of occupancy

Whole-home renovations and additions are the highest-ticket, longest-cycle projects in residential remodeling — and the most strategically important for a design-build firm like StoneRidge.

A single primary suite addition in Western NC (400-600 sq ft over the garage or on a slab extension) runs $130,000-$220,000. A full second-story addition runs $220,000-$420,000 depending on structural complexity. Whole-home renovations of 1,800-3,000 sq ft (full kitchen, multiple baths, new flooring, windows, mechanical systems) run $220,000-$500,000 for premium finishes.

For historic homes (especially Asheville Montford, Grove Park, Chestnut Hill craftsman bungalows and bungalow-era mountain homes), whole-home renovation timelines extend 30-50% due to Historic Resources Commission approval cycles and the longer sourcing time for period-correct materials. Our preservation specialist coordinates every HRC submission.

Whole-Home Renovation & Additions — common questions

How long does a whole-home renovation take?
6-14 months depending on scope. Design + permitting: 3-6 months (architectural drawings, structural engineering, city plan review, HRC approval for historic-district). Construction: 4-9 months for a whole-home renovation, 12-24 weeks for a primary suite addition.
Do you handle the architectural drawings?
Yes — StoneRidge is a true design-build firm. Our designer produces concept drawings; we coordinate with a structural engineer for load-bearing assessments and stamped drawings required for permit. If you have already worked with an outside architect (common for historic-home projects), we can build to their plans as a traditional GC.
Will I need to move out during a whole-home renovation?
Usually yes, for at least the kitchen and primary bath phases (4-8 weeks). We coordinate timing with you and can phase the work so the kitchen and at least one bathroom are operational at all times. For owners who rent their renovated home as an Airbnb, we typically move them out for the entire project to maintain pace.
Can you renovate a historic home and keep the historic designation?
Yes — historic renovation is a StoneRidge specialty. We coordinate every HRC submission, source period-correct materials (chestnut beams, hand-hewn timber, original-pattern window glass), and our preservation specialist documents the work for the Preservation Society of Asheville. Historic designation is preserved as long as exterior changes follow HRC guidelines, which our designer manages.
