The Charlotte Home Remodeling Company has been remodeling and building additions to homes in Charlotte since 1978. We remodel kitchens, attics, basements, bedrooms, bathrooms, outdoor spaces, pool houses and anything inside or outside your home!
Charlotte homeowners love their outdoor homescape living spaces and areas. Because we live in a climate zone where we can enjoy the outdoor living lifestyle for at least eight months out of the year, outdoor kitchens are a natural extension of our home's entire footprint.
Outdoor kitchens can change the way you live in your home. And that can look like thousands of different combinations, depending entirely upon your home's style, your personal taste, and your budget. But if you can imagine it, we can design and build it!
Outdoor kitchens can serve as the "hub" or "heart" of your family just as your indoor kitchen does. Some people refer to their outdoor kitchen as their summer kitchen. Whatever you want to call it, we 
We work with our Charlotte outdoor kitchen customers just like our home remodeling and new room addition customers. You and us imagine how you will use your new outdoor kitchen. What would be the process of preparing your meal, grilling it, serving it, and cleaning up? Where would you ideally want the prep area? What about the cleaning and sink area? Where is your dining table? Do you want the grill angled toward an element in the back yard?
We anticipate everything when we design and build your outdoor kitchen. There are certain items that we have experience anticipating before any ground is broken and anything is ordered!
- Will we need natural gas? Where is the gas line?
- Water. Where will the water be needed?
- Drains and plumbing. Where?
- Electricity. What will be needed?
- HOA approval. What is the HOA process? We take care of this for you.
- Outdoor insect control. Is it a problem in your area?
- Inclement weather. Do you want your kitchen fully or partially covered or enclosed?
We see the 2010 outdoor kitchen trends continuing into 2011. Outdoor kitchens will continue to

The Charlotte Remodeling Company builds custom screened porches of all sizes, styles and budgets! Screened porches can be simplistic or can be an extension of complete indoor living with energy-efficient glass windows, doors and central air and heat. Budgets can range from $3,500 to your wildest imagination! We’ll work with your budget to build you a beautiful screened-in porch!
We have designed and constructed so many different types, sizes and budgets of screened porches over the years. We have developed a list of items we consider when talking with you about your screened porch.
How do you want to “use” your new screened porch? Is it for actual living expansion, morning
How will building your new screened porch affect the natural light to the adjacent rooms? Will it completely block sunlight? Will you need a skylight installed to let light in?
How about a fireplace or wood stove?
How many doors will you want?
Glass windows or just screen? What type of material do you want as your ceiling? How high? How many ceiling fans? Is central heat and air extending to the screened porch? How many electrical outlets?
Internet or computer outlets? Cable or satellite TV outlets? What about built-in speakers? Any plumbing or outdoor kitchen sinks? Is the screened porch going to be built on an existing patio or a new foundation?
If you would like more information on how you can have a custom screened porch built at your home, please call Charles Brown at 704-605-9695 or email cbrown@charlotteremodelingcompany.com. We look forward to working with you on your new screened-in porch!
The homeowner in the photos was missing the functionality and design of a front porch for quite a few years. It was just a project that kept being moved back to make room for larger ones! But they missed having the security of the front porch for inclement weather and to have more of a welcoming “feeling” when their guests came to visit.
When we began the design of this particular front porch project, the homeowner wanted 
So we suggested and designed a really pretty minimal wooden front porch structure with a very creative copper roof top. The end result looks like the front porch as always been attached to the front of the house! This is one of those projects that we have literally done hundreds of. And we really enjoy the process of these smaller projects.
If you would like to have a new front, side or back porch designed and constructed at your home, please call Charles Brown at 704-605-9695 or email cbrown@charlotteremodelingcompany.com. The Charlotte Remodeling Company can design and build these projects affordably and quickly!
We work on all types of home remodels, makeovers and renovations across Greater Charlotte. From small bedroom remodels all the way to large additions and home makeovers! This particular Charlotte home remodeling and makeover project was a wonderful transformation from the very first day.
You’ll see from the photos posted on this page that this home doubled in size, upgraded existing windows and doors, added a beautiful addition to complement the existing brick structure, and gained an enormous amount of curb appeal! We’ll start at the “before” stage and progress toward the “after” stage with the photographs on this wonderful Charlotte home remodel.

Charlotte homeowners are looking up for expansion…upstairs into their attics. Once considered solely a dark and dingy storage area, attics are now routinely converted and remodeled into an additional area for families to enjoy.
the once-dark space is turned into an open environment with skylights, windows, and recessed lighting. Remodeled attics can reflect the same style as the rest of the home, including crown molding, built-in cabinetry, and hardwood floors – a multitude of options that deliver high style, elegance, and function in this new form of attic living.
With the right design, an attic is as inviting as any room in the home, increasing the appraisal value without having to add new space.
Kitchen remodels and upgrades are totally custom and based on the desires of each client. There are so many different styles of kitchens with everything from contemporary to traditional to French country to Shaker style.
The photos on this page are from a recent kitchen remodel in Charlotte where the client wanted some 
The contemporary and energy-saving “green” appliance package makes a wonderful decorating and functional accent. The matching stainless appliances add a flair of class with the flow of the new kitchen remodel design.
We really like the beautiful range hood over the counter top stove top. It is really an elegant statement to this contemporary kitchen remodel.
We thought that the segmented archway in the kitchen entry gave the kitchen a great deal of character and style. The archway is one of our building and remodeling signatures and we really do enjoy building these stylish accents. The segmented archway is a prominent building and remodeling feature found in homes all over Charlotte, Dilworth and Myers Park kitchens and homes! We would like to meet with you as you consider remodeling your home’s kitchen or any interior room.

There has always been something really pretty about designing and building with different types of wood and stone. The big pines, cedars and redwoods just look amazing with different stones.
The curving cut of the braces give this structure character and spirit!
Now how would you use this at your home? We’ve designed and built so many different kind of outdoor structures, patios, gazebos, pool homes, and outdoor kitchens. But wouldn’t this look good as a style to anchor your outdoor kitchen? Or what about covering a patio by the pool or a stoop outside your patio door?
These next photos are just some different ideas of projects that the Charlotte Remodeling Company has completed for homes around Charlotte.

Together with their functional and decorative features, such as doors, steps, balustrades, pilasters, and entablatures, entrances and porches can be extremely important in defining the overall character of a building.
This particular client project was to design and build a matching roof covering over an exterior entry door to a wine cellar. The roof covering adds beauty while giving the homeowner functionality for protection from the weather.
If you would like to add these affordable roof coverings to your home’s entryways, please call Charles Brown at 704-605-9695 or email cbrown@charlotteremodelingcompany.com. You’ll love the results when you add this beautiful remodeling project to your Charlotte porch!
Remodeling, building and construction projects include everything from kitchen remodels to new room additions to basement refinishing to building custom indoor and outdoor projects! We’ve seen just about everything that can be designed and constructed for a home over these many years.
We designed and constructed this very functional combination of a trellis and sitting area with a swinging bench. The homeowner can put special plants around the area and has even started some flowering vines on either side of the new trellis!
Our capabilities are endless with design, material choice and custom construction for your home. Whether it is a remodel or a new build, you can trust us to do a fantastic job the very first time!

So let’s look at what we see as the top kitchen remodeling trends for 2011:
1. Going “Green” is the most trendy kitchen style. And this “green” is actually the color green. Although appliance choices are still selected with the environment and energy use in mind, the color green has emerged as the popular trend. Shaker design (which we love in Charlotte!) is a close second trending choice.
2. Stainless Steel is the most trendy cabinetry. Recycled materials, maple, and then birch are the next choices for kitchen cabinetry.
3. Reclaimed Wood is the most trendy floor. Reclaimed wood is a great choice for giving your kitchen a warm and inviting feel. Bamboo (very environmentally popular) and wood floors are second and third.
4. Engineered Stone is the most trendy counter top . Now you get into the discussion of whether Corian or Silestone is the better choice. We’ll let you make that decision! Concrete was second and granite was the third choice in this trend.
5. Pullout Spray Style is the most trendy faucet. Second was stainless steel and third was the single-handle faucet.
6. Metal is the most trendy refrigeration. By far, metal is the top trending choice in kitchen appliances. It’s the designer look of metal that is most appealing.
7. Induction Cook top is the most trendy cooking option. Gas was second and the wall oven was trending in third place.
8. Table as Island is the most trendy kitchen island. A cooking center was second and a standard kitchen island was trending third. The “table as island” is a great way to bring the family together in the center of the kitchen cooking action!
We have deep, extended experience in remodeling and building kitchens of all types, sizes and budgets. Please call the Charlotte Remodeling Company and Charles Brown at 704-605-9695 for a free in-person consultation about your kitchen remodeling project!
A really popular remodeling trend we are seeing today is the transformation of old closet space and an existing smaller bathroom into Jack-and-Jill type bathrooms. These bathrooms are usually connected on both ends to smaller bedrooms.
The Jack-and-Jill bathroom is very popular with young families who have children who need to share a 
Lots of common Jack and Jill bathroom designs feature a double bathroom vanity. This kind of bathroom vanity includes two sinks, which means that more than one person can use the sink area at the same time. Many of these bathrooms are set up as “couple’s bathrooms” with separate storage spaces for each member of the couple, as well as separate towel racks for monogrammed or color coded towels.
Turning an existing bathroom into a connecting jack-and-jill style bathroom is a great project! There are many new bath fixtures and options to privacy now available in this jack-and-jill style of bathroom. If you are thinking about remodeling an existing bathroom, or adding a new one, please call Charles Brown at 704-605-9695 or email him at cbrown@charlotteremodelingcompany.com for a free in-home consultation and estimate!
This new idea is awesome…and we really like using them. Zipper Access Doors allow access into work areas that have been sealed off to contain dust and debris.
These doors can be securely “cut in” to the enclosed areas at convenient locations. This ensures that the work area is still completely isolated, while allowing a “passable area” that can be completely sealed up after use.
This Zipper door is an extremely handy tool that allows workers to enter/exit as needed; as well as a great feature for Homeowners to still be able to access their homes during the remodeling and construction process.
The Zipper Access Door is constructed of durable plastic and a heavy duty zipper. It is made to withstand

When we are building and remodeling homes around the Charlotte area, customers are always asking us “what’s new in tools or trends for the home?” And we like to pass along innovative products that can help you around your home. This new product is pretty neat: An aerosol-type can fire extinguisher!
Although the 14-oz. Tundra extinguisher is only 9 in. tall, First Alert claims that it provides a spray time of 32 seconds (compared to the 8- to 13-second spray time of typical small and large extinguishers). The Tundra is effective against common fabric, paper, and wood fires as well as electrical and grease fires, and the spray cleans up with a damp cloth.
You can purchase these Tundra Fire Extinguisher aerosol-type cans at the First Alert website, as well as learning more about these unique products. And please remember to call Charles Brown at the Charlotte Remodeling Company at 704-605-9695 or email cbrown@charlotteremodelingcompany.com when you need to talk with a professional about remodeling your home! Thank you.
Sometimes we just walk right through them and don’t even pay attention to them (no pun intended!). I’m talking about doors. Doors are a hot topic with interior home remodeling and I would like to show you a couple of ideas for you to consider when remodeling your home’s interior.
I have replaced so many of these old-fashioned, annoying bi-folding doors with a new generation of bi-folding door. The new generation actually folds completely out of the door way! You have complete access to the entire doorway opening and everything that is behind the door.
This is a great idea for laundry rooms and closets that you use frequently…even kitchen pantries would be a good application of these new bi-folding doors.
Pocket Doors have really become popular around Greater Charlotte. The Craftsman-style homes were early 
So today, Pocket Doors come in many styles and material choices. But the key element of the Pocket Door remains the same today…it simply rolls inside of the wall and remains hidden until needed.
Always a great idea for kitchens, bathrooms, room dividers, offices, libraries, etc.
You can see in the example photo to the right that introducing glass inlays with wood accents gives this pair of sliding doors a really elegant design touch…but still maintaining the highly-functional design of the original Pocket Doors!
The Sliding Bypass Door set-up usually consists of at least three (3) doors that are hung staggered (in front of and in back of each other) so the doors can completely slide past each other.
The Sliding Bypass Door set-up is a great door and walk-through solution for larger openings that can be found in kitchen transitions, dining room transitions, master bedroom closets, and larger great room or living room entries.
Still yet another type of home interior door is the Multi-fold Door system. Multi-fold Doors are ideal for larger 
I’ve seen Multi-fold Door systems that had a total of 16 door panels! The goal with a Multi-fold Door system is that you can conceal the closet or room but still have easy access to enjoy opening up that room and revealing the large walk-through doorway.
Wood remains the top choice for large Multi-fold Door systems. But so many different faces and styles of these wooden doorways are available in virtually any style you could imagine or want! These types of doors make an excellent and easy way to screen rooms and divide larger open spaces in your home.
I have been remodeling homes across the Greater Charlotte area since 1978 and I have the experience, dependability, and genuine desire to work closely with you in helping you to affordably and creatively remodel any room, or rooms, in your home!
I look forward to talking with you soon. Thank you! Charles Brown, Master Carpenter, the Charlotte Remodeling Company.

Other items to consider when remodeling or building a new home include beautiful designer recycled glass tiles for backsplashes and accents, bamboo flooring, and recycled roofs…they look beautiful but are so good for the environment.
