Frequently Asked Questions – Remodels by Lanphear Builders
What types of remodeling projects do you take on?
We handle everything from full-scale home renovations to kitchen and bath remodels, outdoor living upgrades, and structural reconfigurations. Whether you’re modernizing a dated layout or expanding for a growing family, Lanphear Builders brings the same care and craftsmanship to every remodel we do.
Do you work on historic home renovations in Wilmington, NC?
Yes—we love the charm and challenge of restoring historic homes throughout coastal North Carolina. We’re experienced in preserving architectural character while bringing older homes up to today’s codes (view a recent historic home project) and lifestyle standards. It’s all about blending the old with the new, seamlessly.
Can you remodel while we’re still living in the home?
In many cases, yes. We do our best to phase construction to minimize disruption, especially for projects like kitchen remodels or bathroom renovations. We’ll work closely with you to plan logistics and keep things safe, clean, and on schedule.
Do you provide design help for remodeling projects?
Absolutely. From layout adjustments to material selections, our design-build approach includes hands-on guidance every step of the way along with a trusted architect. You won’t be left to figure it all out alone—we help you visualize and execute a space that truly works for your family.
How long does a typical remodeling project take?
That depends on the size and scope of the remodel. A master bathroom upgrade may take 4–6 weeks, while a whole-home renovation might take several months. We’ll provide a clear timeline before we start and keep you in the loop throughout the process.
Can remodeling increase my home’s value?
Yes, especially when it’s done with intention and quality. Strategic updates like kitchen renovations, open-concept living conversions, and improved outdoor living areas often deliver strong returns—both in property value and personal enjoyment.
