The Straight Answer

Whole-home and major-space remodeling rebuilds the parts of your house that no longer fit your life — kitchens opened to living space, primary suites rebuilt, layouts reworked wall by wall. Mabrey Construction runs remodels the way a general contractor should: structure verified before demolition, a fixed-scope contract with itemized allowances, and county inspections at every stage.

answersthe questions we actually get

Typical whole-space remodels fall in the $60,000 to $150,000 range — a major kitchen at the heart of it, primary suites similar, and multi-space or whole-level reworks scope-driven above. The walkthrough turns the range into a fixed, itemized number.

Usually yes for single-space projects — we contain dust, protect paths, and keep water and power planned around your evenings. Whole-level reworks sometimes make a short move-out the saner choice; you will know from the written schedule before work starts.

Any project touching structure, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical does — which is most real remodels. We run permits and inspections through Durham, Wake, or Orange county as part of the scope; inspection sign-offs are your proof the work is right.

Selections happen before demolition, the schedule is written into the contract, and one accountable team runs the sequence. Changes get priced and approved in writing before they happen — the drift that sinks remodels is exactly what the fixed-scope process exists to prevent.
