Our Services

What Can Home Remodeling in Washington NC Change Inside Your Home?

We improve the home you already have, at any scale. Every project below updates existing space, not new square footage.

Whole-Home Remodeling

A top-to-bottom renovation of your existing house, updating rooms, finishes, and systems across the whole home as one coordinated project. A whole-home renovation Washington NC families take on usually starts with the rooms that bother them most and grows into a plan for the entire house. That plan can also include finishing underused space, such as a basement where the home has one.

Interior Remodeling

Refreshing rooms, surfaces, and finishes throughout the house, from flooring and trim to walls and fixtures, so the interior feels current again. Our interior remodeling Washington NC work is planned around the settled framing and uneven floors older homes here often have. That includes Washington NC flooring installation when your remodel calls for new floors.

Living & Common Area Remodeling

Updating the everyday shared spaces where your family gathers, hosts, and relaxes, with better finishes and a layout that flows from the front door to the back porch.

Bedroom & Primary Suite Remodeling

Renovating existing bedrooms and primary suites, including closets and connected baths, without adding new square footage.

Layout Changes & Open-Concept Reconfiguration

Removing or moving walls and reworking the flow inside your current footprint. An open-concept remodeling project opens up the cramped, closed-off rooms that chopped-up older floor plans are known for.

Updating Older & Historic Spaces

Modernizing dated interiors, worn surfaces, and aging components so an older Washington home works and looks current without losing its character. Many downtown houses here date to the 1800s and early 1900s.

Signs to Watch

How Do You Know Your Washington Home Is Ready for a Remodel?

Most home remodeling Washington NC projects start with a call to Prado’s Home Improvement when a homeowner notices one of these:

A cramped, awkward, or closed-off layout

Dated finishes, fixtures, and surfaces

Soft, uneven floors or moisture you keep fighting

Worn or damaged floors, walls, or trim

A home that no longer fits your family

Several small fixes that keep adding up

A house you are getting ready to sell

One team

Remodels, additions, and single upgrades

Choose the Right Project

Should You Remodel, Add On, or Update One Room at a Time?

Remodel the space you have

Best when the rooms are there but the layout, finishes, or systems are not. This is the work this page is about: changing existing space so it fits your life.

Add on when you need new square footage

Best when no layout change can create the room you need. An addition builds new space onto the house, and on waterfront or low-lying Washington lots it also means planning around flood-zone rules from the start. Learn more about adding a room in Washington NC.

Update one room or finish at a time

Best when the house mostly works and one space is holding it back. A single room, done properly, can change how the whole home feels. It can also be the first phase of a larger remodel later.

How It Works

How Does a Home Remodel Run, From First Visit to Final Walkthrough?

One contractor coordinates the whole project, so you are not chasing separate trades.

Consultation and design:

We look at your home, talk through goals and budget, and plan the scope.

Planning and permits:

We handle the plan and pull Beaufort County permits when the work requires them, and we flag flood-zone considerations early for waterfront and low-lying lots. We also help you choose materials and fixtures that fit the home and hold up in our humid, coastal climate.

Assessment and prep:

We check the existing space for moisture, settled framing, and anything hiding behind the walls, protect what stays, and prepare the work area.

Demolition:

We remove what is being replaced, carefully and cleanly.

Construction and trades:

We handle the framing, drywall, and the electrical and plumbing updates your remodel needs, coordinated by one team.

Finishes, inspection, and walkthrough:

We complete flooring, trim, paint, and fixtures, pass inspection, and review the finished home with you.

Older & Coastal Homes

What Makes Historic and Waterfront Home Remodeling in Washington NC Different?

Washington is the first town in the country named after George Washington, founded in 1776, and 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. Historic home remodeling Washington NC homeowners plan has to respect that stock: settled framing, worn subfloors, dated wiring, and uneven floors are normal finds, and we plan for them instead of being caught off guard. Many local homes were built before 1978, so where older paint is disturbed we plan the work around lead-safe handling under the EPA’s RRP rule.

The water shapes the rest. Washington 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. Knowing what is behind the walls of an older home is also what keeps a remodel on budget.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

FAQ

Home Remodeling Questions Washington Homeowners Ask Us Most

Do you do whole-home and single-room remodels?

Both. We remodel one room, several rooms, or a whole house, and we coordinate the entire project with one team. Kitchens and bathrooms are often part of that work. See our kitchen remodeling services in Washington NC and bathroom remodeling services in Washington NC pages for the detail.

What is the difference between remodeling and a home addition?

Remodeling changes space you already have. An addition creates new square footage. If you need more room rather than better room, we can plan an addition with you as well.

Do you handle the permits?

Yes. We pull the Beaufort County permits your remodel needs, including for structural changes like removing a wall, and we plan around flood-zone rules on waterfront and low-lying lots.

Can you remodel a historic or older Washington home?

Yes. We work with settling, plaster, and dated wiring and plumbing, we bring older systems up to current code during the remodel, and we plan for lead-safe handling in homes built before 1978.

How long does a home remodel take?

It depends on the scope of the renovation. A single room can take weeks, while a whole-home project runs longer and is usually phased room by room. We set a schedule during planning, before work starts, and keep you updated as the project moves.
