The remodeler that owns the whole job
Phelps Construction has remodeled homes across the Corridor since 2021 — finishing basements, updating bathrooms and kitchens, painting, and making structural changes like installing a header to combine two rooms into one open living space.
We're now focused on taking on larger, more complex remodels. If your project involves multiple rooms, structural changes, or trades that have to be coordinated, that's exactly the kind of work we want. You get one contractor accountable from demolition to the final walkthrough — not a patchwork of subs.
- Clear written scope and honest pricing up front
- Structural work done with permits and proper framing
- One crew, kept clean and on schedule
- Local, licensed and insured — with a 5.0 Google rating
