Home Renovation Portfolio — North Carolina Projects

Every kitchen project in this portfolio started with a design plan — layouts, cabinetry dimensions, countertop selections, backsplash, lighting, and appliance specs — resolved before construction began. The result is a kitchen where every element was chosen intentionally and every contractor decision was guided by a document, not a conversation on site.

Kitchen remodels in Raleigh and Cary typically range from $18,000 for a cosmetic refresh to $160,000 or more for a full renovation with layout changes. Understanding the scope before hiring a contractor is one of the most effective ways to keep the project on budget.

Bathroom projects here range from partial refreshes — new vanity, tile, fixtures — to full primary bathroom gut renovations with custom tile work, frameless glass, and heated floors. Each started with a complete selection set: tile, vanity dimensions, fixture specs, lighting plan, and niche placement, all documented before a single tile was removed.

Bathroom remodel costs in Cary and the Research Triangle run from $4,000 for a partial update to $45,000 or more for a primary suite renovation. The design phase is where tile pattern, plumbing location, and vanity sizing get resolved — before those decisions cost money to change.

Multi-room renovation projects require a single cohesive design direction across flooring, paint, trim, hardware, lighting, and furnishings. These projects show what happens when every room is planned together rather than updated one at a time — the result reads as finished instead of assembled.

If you are planning a renovation across several rooms or an entire floor, the most important early step is a scope document and material plan. Finch Home Studio builds that plan before your contractor starts, so every phase of work is guided by a consistent direction.

Start with the room type closest to your project, then look at the design decisions behind each image — layout improvements, storage choices, finish consistency, lighting, and how each room connects to the rest of the home.

If an image resonates, the next step is a design consultation. Finch Home Studio works with homeowners in Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, and Apex to design kitchens, bathrooms, and whole-home renovations before the contractor starts.
