What we build
Project types and realistic budget ranges
These are honest starting ranges for the Raleigh market, refined once we walk your house and see the drawings.
Kitchen remodel
Full gut including cabinetry, counters, electrical and plumbing, typically eight to ten weeks.
Bathroom remodel
Down to studs with new waterproofing, tile, fixtures and ventilation done correctly.
Room addition
Foundation through finish, including permits, engineering and matching the existing rooflines.
Whole home remodel
Multi room renovations, often with structural changes, six to ten months on site.
Custom home
On your lot, working with your architect or one of the three we regularly build with.
How we work
Fewer projects, finished when we said
Wade Hollowbrook framed houses for eleven years before starting this company in 2004. We run three crews and take roughly fourteen projects a year, because the fastest way to blow a schedule is to start a job you do not have people for. Our superintendent is on your site daily.
•Licensed North Carolina general contractor, fully insured with workers compensation
•Fixed price contracts, with any change order priced and signed before work proceeds
•A named superintendent on your site every day, not a rotating cast
•Two year workmanship warranty on top of manufacturer coverage
Reviews
From homeowners we built for
“They found rot behind the shower we could not have known about, priced the change order the same day and it did not derail the schedule.”
Nina C., primary bath remodel, Cary
“Nine month addition, finished eleven days early. The Friday emails meant I never had to chase anyone.”
Gerald and Pam O., two story addition, Wake Forest
“Two other bids came in vaguer and cheaper. Hollowbrook's number was the one that turned out to be true.”
Sanjay B., kitchen remodel, Raleigh
FAQ
Questions before you start a project
Why do you charge for the initial consultation?
Because building a real budget takes two site visits, a scope document and several hours of a project manager's time. A free estimate for a project this size is either a guess or a sales call. The 750 dollars is credited back to your contract if you build with us.
How long will my project take?
A bathroom is five to seven weeks, a kitchen eight to ten, an addition five to nine months and a whole home remodel six to ten. We give you a written schedule with milestones before demolition starts, and the Friday updates track against it.
What happens when something unexpected is found?
Older houses hide things, so we carry a contingency line in every budget and discuss it up front. When we open a wall and find rot, old wiring or a missing header, we photograph it, price the fix, and get your signature before proceeding. Nothing is added to your bill without that.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes, all of it. We pull the permits, schedule inspections with Wake County or the city, and coordinate any engineering the plan review requires. You do not need to take a day off work to meet an inspector.
