Your Local Contractor

Local Home Improvement Contractor for Washington NC and Beaufort County Homeowners

Prado’s Home Improvement is an insured, Belhaven-based company that remodels and repairs homes in Washington NC and across Beaufort County. We handle kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, decks, screened porches, siding, doors and windows, interior painting, and full additions. Our crew knows Washington’s older downtown houses and its waterfront homes, and the moisture and flood-zone realities of a river town. One local team, honest scoping, and real follow-through, start to finish.

Our Services

We Offer Home Improvement Services in Washington NC, From Kitchens and Baths to Decks and Additions

We cover the full range of residential work, and every project is scoped for the home in front of us:

Home Remodeling

When a home feels dated or cramped, we open up the layout, update worn finishes, and fix what an older house hides. Our home remodeling in Washington NC is planned around how you actually live.

Kitchen Remodeling

We work around real rooms and older layouts, adding new cabinetry and countertops, better lighting, and surfaces that take daily use. Kitchen remodeling in Washington NC should fit your family, not a showroom.

Bathroom Remodeling

New vanities, tile, fixtures, and proper waterproofing make the difference here, where humidity finds every weak spot. That is the standard we hold on bathroom remodeling in Washington NC.

Flooring Installation

We start under the surface, checking the subfloor and crawlspace in older and near-water homes before we lay anything. For flooring installation in Washington NC we lean on moisture-smart luxury vinyl plank, tile, or hardwood.

Deck Installation

Built in pressure-treated or composite decking, your outdoor space needs to take river humidity and sun and still last. We handle deck installation in Washington NC so it holds up for years, not seasons.

Screened Porches

Enjoy the waterfront without the bugs. We build new porches and enclose existing ones with framing made for coastal weather, so a screened porch in Washington NC stays sound through the seasons.

Siding Installation

Fiber cement stands up to salt air and storm-driven rain, which protects the walls of a home near the Pamlico. We offer siding installation in Washington NC in both fiber cement and vinyl.

Doors & Windows

Drafty old homes lose heat and let in noise. We seal them up with energy-efficient, double-hung windows and solid entry doors, so window and door installation in Washington NC pays you back on the cooling bill.

Interior Painting

Older plaster and trim need clean prep and the right primer to look right and last. Our interior painting in Washington NC is built to hold up in a humid climate, not just look good on day one.

Home Additions

A new addition has to match an older roofline and floor plan, and some waterfront and low-lying lots involve floodplain rules. We plan home additions in Washington NC for both from the start.

Historic & Waterfront

What Older Downtown and Waterfront Homes in Washington NC Actually Need From a Remodeler

Washington NC is the first town in the country named after George Washington, founded in 1776. Its downtown Historic District has been on the National Register since 1979, with more than 500 contributing buildings, many from the 1800s and early 1900s. Older homes like these hide surprises behind the walls: settled framing, worn subfloors, dated wiring, and uneven floors. We plan for that instead of being caught off guard.

The water shapes the rest. Washington NC sits on the Pamlico River near Jack’s Creek, and some waterfront and low-lying neighborhoods fall in FEMA high-risk flood zones. Storms like Florence in 2018 and Floyd in 1999 left their mark, and coastal humidity drives moisture, mold, and crawlspace issues. That is why material choice, moisture handling, and correct sealing matter more here than inland.

Problems We Solve

The Remodeling Problems We Solve for Washington, NC and Beaufort County Homeowners

Why Choose Us

Why Homeowners Choose Our Home Improvement Washington NC Team Over Out-of-Town Crews

The most common complaint in a small market is simple: the contractor who does not show up or never finishes. We work the opposite way. With Prado’s Home Improvement you get:

One local, insured team focused only on home improvement, not a side business.

Straight estimates that do not move after the quote.

One crew for several projects, not several trades to juggle.

Honest scoping. When a large job legally needs a licensed general contractor or a permit, we tell you.

Real respect for older and waterfront homes we have worked on before.

Prado’s Home Improvement built a deck for us in Chocowinity, NC a few months ago and we are very happy with how it turned out. Johan was easy to work with, stayed within our budget, and got the project started quickly. Him and his crew were always professional and showed up when they said they would. The deck looks great and has held up well. We appreciate all their hard work and will definitely be calling them again for future projects.

Prado’s Home Improvement recently redid our screen porch in Washington, NC and we love how it turned out. They installed a new screen system that really updated the look of the porch. The crew showed up when they said they would, the price was fair, and the job was finished on time. They cleaned everything up when they were done and even helped put our outdoor furniture back. We’re very happy with the work and would definitely hire them again. Highly recommend!
