Do you live in an older Raleigh or Cary home? Do you need a better-functioning kitchen or bathroom? Do you need more living space? A home addition may be what you need. Do you have a basement or attic that needs finishing? Or are you simply trying to decide whether to move or improve? We are here to make all your remodeling projects successful.
DESIGN
We design first because a remodel design is essential to a successful project. You work with our in-house designer, and see your remodel in 3D so there are no surprises.
BUILD
The build will run smoothly & finish on schedule due to the design and careful planning during the budget phases. Daily communication is vital between the homeowner and between any tradespeople to review plans and stay on all our targets.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Chip and team did a recent (early 2020) remodel of our 1990s kitchen as well as project managed a first floor flooring upgrade. Craftsmanship and customer service was excellent! The 3D design created upfront was very beneficial as we could visualize the end product.
Chip and Kristen are very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. We hired them to do a full master bath remodel. The process went smoothly and we are thrilled with the finished product. Several months later, one of the sinks cracked (my fault, not theirs) and they replaced it quickly. I highly recommend Riverbirch.
Riverbirch did an amazing job with our attic space from the start of the project to the last finishing detail. The team was professional and the sub contractors were organized and on time. They worked with us on key decisions and offered professional advice and expertise on design and build along the way. We highly recommend Riverbirch Remodeling.
Our experience with Riverbirch Remodeling of Raleigh was excellent...Riverbirch is the best way to go! Chip, Kristen, and their staff of project managers and carpenters are very thorough and detail oriented from beginning to end. Their choice of sub-contractors reflects their high standards for all of the trades. We are extremely happy with the outcome! Our new, high quality living spaces have increased our enjoyment of our home and its value, as well. If you are considering major remodeling or an addition to your home, we recommend Riverbirch without hesitation.
Chip and his team created a bonus room from our 3rd floor walk up attic...We had considered turning it into a bonus room for many years, and found Chip and his team by searching online. After reviewing other contractors, we decided to use Riverbirch Remodeling and were extremely pleased with the finished product. Overall, we were very pleased with the outcome, the room is beautiful, we have had many compliments, and we would have no hesitation in recommending Chip and his team at Riverbirch. Thank you, Chip. Excellent quality service and would definitely recommend Riverbirch!
Our experience with Kristen and Chip was a delight from the very start. We've lived in our home for nearly 10 years, and have wanted to transform our walk-out basement since we moved in. Chip met us and reviewed our space, we discussed our budget and vision for said space, and Chip and Leah went to work on a design. A few small tweaks later, we had a visual representation of what the space would look like and we were off! Kristen was with us every step of the way, and the whole team were eager to answer questions, problem solve, and to keep us informed. We'd heard horror stories of remodels, but our experience was only pleasant, and we tell anyone who will listen of our Riverbirch experience. Our basement has been finished for a couple of months, and we spend all of our waking leisure time there. What rest of the house? Who needs it! We love our space and could *not* be more thrilled. Thank you to the whole Riverbirch team for making - truly - our dream space a reality!!
We hired Riverbirch Remodeling for our kitchen renovation after meeting with three other potential contractors...The nature of our communication alone gives reason enough to hire them again. It ended up being a good choice because our kitchen turned out great! They delivered with high-quality, on-budget work. I would hire them again for any future renovation projects.
Chip, Kristen, Jon and their entire crew were extremely professional and helpful. From initial consultation to finished product, they were very open to listening to us (which is shockingly less common in this industry than you’d think!), providing design and construction advice, and helping us understand the process throughout. Our master bathroom is gorgeous and functional - definitely worth the investment. If you are looking for a bathroom remodel that isn’t just your average remodel experience - Riverbirch is the way to go!
Chip and his team are awesome! They are remodeling our kitchen and 2 1/2 baths. Chip did a 3d design for the kitchen remodel, which I didn't think we needed at first, but it allowed us to see multiple options for layouts that we hadn't thought of. He managed to add about 30% more cabinet space. Also, he showed us price and style options for cabinets and even went with us to pick out the tile and the counter. They started on time protected all the floors, and have kept the place in great shape while they're working. I'll post before after pictures soon. I'll gladly be a reference for them.
Riverbirch did a large kitchen remodel for us plus a project to convert a 3 seasons room into living space. Despite many unusual items the work was done in a timely manner and the finished product looks as we intended. Chip is easy to contact and easy to work with. I would recommend Riverbirch Remodeling for a remodeling project.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the design process take?
We can start designing right away, and this may take a few days or a few weeks. It depends upon the complexity of the project. The important thing to keep in mind is that the hours and days spent designing = weeks saved in the build phase.
I just want an estimate on my remodel, can I get one from your company, without having to hire you for design?
Riverbirch would be happy to provide a ballpark estimate. Since each project is like a snowflake, the best way to know what your project will cost is to start designing. Our designs are very affordable and allow you to visualize your space, we estimate the cost, and give you a scope of work. This is the best way to know what your project will cost. The majority of homeowners that contract design with us, Build with us!
What if I already have a design?
That’s great! We will be happy to budget out any completed design. We can help you procure bids for finish products and specialty trades. We may also propose enhancements to your design. Whatever the situation, we are adaptable. Show us what you have and let’s get working on it.
What if I already have some of my finish products selected/purchased?
You’re ahead of the curve! This makes the process quicker, easier, and less costly!
Do you have good prices on name-brand finish products?
We help our clients to get discounts on the best finish products. We work as a team to get you exactly what you want, when it is needed, and at the best price.
How much does your design service cost?
Every design is unique, there is no price menu. Once we meet with you and discuss your project, we will provide you with a design contract proposal. You will be surprised at how affordable our rates are. Remember, remodel design does not cost, it pays. Our case studies have shown that we typically recoup our clients’ design costs, on average, 10x!
Do I need an Architect?
While architects are an important part of the home building industry, you do not need an architect to design your remodel. We can design any remodel, kitchen, bathroom, interior makeover, decks, patios, porches, outdoor kitchens, or even room additions. In some cases, we will need a residential building engineer, to certify plans for construction. We have relationships with both architects and engineers so that we can offer the most cost-effective solutions to even the most challenging structural designs.
Do I need building permits?
Many major remodeling projects require building permits. All projects contracted with Riverbirch will have the required permits, including cosmetic changes. This is a protection for your most valuable asset!
What if I have a preferred cabinet brand/builder?
Our design software is completely custom, allowing us to design with any line of cabinetry.
What sets you apart from other Contractors in the Industry?
Riverbirch is one of the only Design-Build Firms. While we design your new space(s) we are actually building your plans. This allows us to be ahead of most GC’s. We have the best method of estimating and scope writing with few changes during the build phase. This saves time and money for our clients. Additionally, Riverbirch has great trade partners that provide great service and have worked with us for many years.
