Talk to the People Who Will Actually Do the Work

You have probably already dealt with a contractor who was hard to reach, or a quote that grew halfway through the job. That’s the part we fixed first. You get one point of contact, a fixed written price before anything is torn out, and the same crew from the first day to the final walkthrough.

Tell us which room needs attention, and we’ll come look at it, talk through what is realistic for your budget, and leave a written number in your hands. No charge, no pressure, and no obligation to book anything.

    Questions Homeowners Ask

    Before You Call Anyone, Read This

    A bathroom is usually three to five weeks and a kitchen six to ten, measured from demolition to final walkthrough. Layout changes, custom cabinetry lead times, and permit review are what move those numbers, and we tell you which ones apply to your project before you commit.

    A fixed written price tied to a defined scope. You see the number before anything is torn out. If you change your mind mid-project, or we open a wall and find something nobody could have known about, that gets priced and signed off separately rather than quietly added to your bill.

    In almost every case, yes. We contain the work area with dust barriers, protect floors and pathways, and sweep the site every evening. For a single-bathroom home during a bathroom remodel we will talk through timing so you are never without one.

    Yes. Permits, drawings, and inspection scheduling are part of the job, not something handed back to you. Basement finishing and additions in particular have egress and ceiling-height requirements that get confirmed before design is final.

    Finishing space you already own is almost always less per square foot, because the foundation, roof, and exterior walls already exist. We will price both honestly if you are weighing them, including what each does to your resale value.

    How to Plan a Home Remodel That Goes Right

    Pin Down the Scope

    Spoke with Chris today. It is nice to have someone who is genuine. Thank you sir for your help!

    Adrienne Stinson3 weeks ago

    Core Builders were professional and reasonably priced from the very beginning. They were courteous of our time and space and finished our entire home remodel in Vestavia Hills in record time! They came when they said they would and were very respectful of our property! Highly recommend Chris and the team at Core Builders for your home remodel in Vestavia Hills or surrounding areas!

    Lauren Seal3 weeks ago

    We had a project completed on our home by Core Builders and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, and paid close attention to the details. The quality of their work was excellent, and everyone we worked with was friendly and dependable. We really appreciate how smoothly everything came together and how great the finished project looks. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional builder for a home remodel in the Trussville area!

    Liz W2 months ago

    Core was great to work with! Chris is super responsive and professional and Steve is on site daily to ensure everything runs smoothly. They renovated all our bathrooms and the kitchen and got it done in record time. I couldn’t be happier with the results!

    Timothy Peters9 months ago

    We recently used Core for a basement and upstairs remodel. From start to finish, we could not have asked for a better experience. Chris was extremely fair priced, responsive, and accommodating, and the end result exceeded our expectations. The crews were hard working and left the job site clean. We have done a half dozen or so projects on our house and this was far and away the best experience we've had with a contractor. I recommend them without any reservation and will use them again in the future.

    Cissie Harringtona year ago

    I called Core for my master bathroom remodel. They responded quickly and had a fair quote within one day. I am so glad I went with Core. They communicated every step of the way. The crews were fantastic and treated my home with care. Great finished product! Highly recommend!
