Transforming existing homes into dream homes since 1998
Your existing home has incredible potential waiting to be unlocked. Whether you're dreaming of a chef's kitchen, a spa-like primary bath, extra square footage for a growing family, or a complete interior transformation, Apex delivers stunning results — with minimal disruption to your daily life.
We approach every renovation with the same thoroughness as a new build: careful planning, quality materials, skilled tradespeople, and clear communication from start to finish. No surprises. No shortcuts.
The three we are asked for most often. If what you have in mind is not listed, ask anyway.
From a refresh to a full gut with a new layout. We sequence cabinetry, countertops, appliances, electrical and plumbing so the trades are not tripping over each other inside your house.
A refreshed powder room or a full primary bath. Whether the fixtures stay put or move is the single biggest driver of scope, and we will tell you which one you are looking at before you commit to anything.
More space without moving. Additions carry work a remodel does not — tying new foundation into old, matching rooflines and siding so it does not look bolted on, and structural engineering. We handle all of it.
Renovating a home you are living in is a different job from building on an empty lot. Here is how we keep it manageable.
We come to you, look at the space, and talk through what you want to change. Free, with no obligation attached to it.
You get an itemized proposal covering the work, the materials and the schedule — not a number quoted at you across a kitchen counter.
We help you choose finishes and fixtures inside the budget you set, and pull every permit the work requires.
Work areas sealed off, floors and walkways protected, site swept at the end of each day. You get a weekly update on progress — including anything we find once the walls are open.
We walk the finished space with you and write down anything that is not right. It is not done until that list is empty.
A cosmetic refresh — new countertops, appliances, hardware, paint — typically runs 3–5 weeks. A full gut renovation that moves plumbing or electrical and changes the layout typically runs 8–14 weeks. Custom cabinetry lead times are usually the longest single item.
Bathrooms vary more than almost any other room. The main factors:
We walk your bathroom, tell you what we find, and put a written number against it.
Yes. Additions involve work a straightforward remodel does not — tying a new foundation into the existing one, matching rooflines and siding so the addition does not look bolted on, structural engineering, and a more involved permitting process. We handle all of it.
Usually yes, depending on scope. We seal off work areas to control dust, protect floors and walkways, keep the site clean at the end of each day, and agree on working hours with you up front. For a whole-home gut renovation, moving out is generally easier on everyone.
Yes. We handle all permitting and inspections for your project, including the drawings and documentation each county requires and any HOA submittals. Coordinating inspections at each stage is part of the job — it is not something we hand back to you.
We build throughout New Hanover County, Brunswick County, Pender County and Onslow County. If your lot sits just outside that area, ask anyway — we will tell you honestly whether we are the right builder for it.
