Our Work
Our Award-Winning Asheville Remodel Services
Whole-Home Renovations
A complete reimagining of how your home looks, flows, and performs uniting every room under one cohesive design.
Kitchen Remodels
The kitchen is the heart of the home. We design and build kitchens that balance the way you actually cook and gather with the finish quality our custom homes are known for.
Bathroom Remodels
From a refreshed primary bath to a curbless, aging-in-place shower, we craft bathrooms that pair everyday function with lasting, well-built design.
Home Additions & ADUs
More room to live, a primary-suite addition, a second story, a garage apartment, or an accessory dwelling unit, designed to look like it was always part of the home.
Basement Remodels
Turn unused basement into living space that works. A family room, guest suite, home office, or gym, finished to the same standard as the rest of your home.
Historic & Architectural Renovations
Renovating an older or architecturally distinct home takes a special skill set. We take care to match materials and detailing to the existing structure, so new work ties in seamlessly.
A Healthier Way to Remodel
Building a custom home is a significant investment. A discovery call is an opportunity to discuss your goals, timeline, and priorities while learning how our design-build process delivers a seamless experience from concept to completion.
Built to a Higher Standard
While the walls are open, we improve insulation and air sealing, upgrade ventilation, and specify low-VOC finishes and formaldehyde-free materials. These are the healthy-home practices behind our Energy Star and NC Green Built credentials, applied to the home you already own. It’s at the core of everything we build.

Love Where You Live
Why Remodel Your Asheville Home
Invest in the Home You Love
For many Western North Carolina homeowners, renovating beats relocating. You keep the location, the lot, and the neighborhood you already love, and you invest in making the home itself work the way it should for your family. A thoughtful renovation can boost your home’s value, improve its energy efficiency, and transform a dated layout into spaces designed around how your family actually lives, often with less disruption and cost than buying and moving.
Unlock Your Home’s Potential
Asheville’s housing spans everything from mid-century ranches to established luxury homes, and many of the area’s best homesites already have a home on them. Whatever the scope, the right design-build partner turns an aging house into a home with no regrets.
Common Questions
FAQs About Renovating Your Asheville Home
How much does a home remodel cost in Asheville?
Remodeling costs vary based on the age and layout of your home, the scope of work, and your finish selections. We provide transparent, line-item pricing after a discovery meeting and on-site assessment, so you know the real numbers before demolition begins.
How long does a home remodel take?
Timelines depend heavily on scope. A focused single-room remodel runs very differently from a whole-home project. Permitting, the age of the home, and the extent of finish selections all affect the schedule. We map out a realistic timeline in our first conversations.
Do you do whole-home renovations, or just single rooms?
Both. Living Stone takes on focused renovations as well as whole-home transformations and additions. Because we’re a full design-build firm, we’re especially well suited to larger, more complex renovations where design, structure, and finish all need to work together.
What does design-build mean, and why does it matter for a remodel?
Design-build means your designer and your builder are the same team, working under one contract.
Can a renovation really improve my home's air quality and energy efficiency?
Yes! With walls already open, we can improve air sealing and insulation, upgrade ventilation, and specify low-toxicity materials and finishes. It’s the same building-science approach behind our Energy Star and NC Green Built work, applied to your existing home.
What is Living Stone's "Whole Living" approach?
Whole Living is our philosophy that a home should be as healthy as it is beautiful. It means smart air filtration, low-toxicity paints and finishes, eco-friendly sealants, and energy systems designed for our climate. In a remodel, it’s the difference between a home that simply looks updated and one that’s genuinely healthier to live in, something you can see, breathe, and feel in your utility bills.
