Durham, NC – New Construction Home Build
What began as a full-home renovation quickly evolved into a ground-up new construction project after significant structural issues were uncovered, including extensive wood rot and foundational damage. Located in the heart of Durham, NC, this home originally had a renovation plan in place, but after assessing the costs and timeline, it was more efficient to demolish the existing structure and rebuild from scratch. We preserved approximately 25% of the existing foundation that had proper footings and met current building standards. Starting fresh gave our team the opportunity to reengineer the original layout and add a thoughtfully designed second story — maximizing square footage, function, and resale value while staying within the client’s budget. The end result is a completely new, energy-efficient home with modern finishes and a layout built for today’s lifestyle
Wilmington, NC – Commercial Build-Out for Dog Daycare Facility
This 7,000-square-foot commercial renovation project in Wilmington, NC transformed a vacant warehouse into a fully functioning dog daycare center. Elevate Design and Build was contracted to convert the raw industrial space into a safe, clean, and efficient facility tailored to the needs of pet care operations. The scope of work included framing private kennel areas for individual dogs, tiling the entire interior for durability and easy maintenance, and bringing the building up to code by updating the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems to support this specialized use. From ventilation requirements to water access points and drainage, every detail was thoughtfully designed and executed to meet the operational standards of a modern dog daycare. This build-out demonstrates our ability to deliver functional, code-compliant, and client-focused commercial spaces that support business success from day one.
Charlotte, NC – Whole-House Renovation for Market-Ready Resale
This full-home renovation project in Charlotte, NC was focused on transforming a dated early-90s rental property into a turnkey, market-ready listing. The homeowner contracted Elevate Design and Build to modernize the space and position it competitively for resale. Working closely with the owner, we developed a design and renovation plan that aligned with both the vision and the available budget. By researching comparable homes in the surrounding area, we crafted a renovation strategy that would maximize value and appeal to today’s buyers. The project scope included a brand-new kitchen with updated cabinetry and finishes, a refreshed master suite, fully renovated bathrooms, all-new flooring throughout the home, and a complete interior paint job. The result is a clean, modern, and inviting space that’s ready to sell quickly in a competitive Charlotte real estate market.
