Knox County
Powell, in north Knox County, mixes older homes on larger lots with newer subdivisions. We take on renovation work of every size here.
Many of Powell's established homes are ranch houses and modest two-story homes from the middle and later twentieth century, often on lots with more room than you find closer to town. That extra ground is an advantage: it leaves space for an addition, a detached garage or a workshop.
Inside, these houses commonly need what older homes everywhere need: kitchens and bathrooms that have not been touched in decades, limited storage and electrical and plumbing systems that should be brought up to date. We find those items during the estimate and put them in the plan.
Powell has also added many newer subdivisions. In those homes the work tends toward finishing basements and bonus rooms, adding garage space and upgrading builder-grade kitchens and baths. Most of these neighborhoods have homeowners associations with covenants that cover additions and exterior changes. Check yours early, and we can provide the scope you need for the application.
Powell is unincorporated, so permits and inspections generally go through Knox County. We confirm what applies to your property, build the permit work into the plan for the job and talk through it with you in the estimate.
Once you sign off on the scope and price, you get a schedule, weekly updates from your project team and a final walk-through with a punch list. Nothing is finished until every item on that list is.
Yes. Garages, attached and detached, are one of our six services, and many Powell lots have room for one. We walk the property, look at placement, access and grading, and give you a written estimate. If you are in an HOA, check the covenants first.
Generally no. Powell is unincorporated, so permits and inspections go through Knox County rather than the City of Knoxville. We confirm the right office for your address and include the permit work in the plan for the job.
An addition gives you more house without leaving the neighborhood you chose. We build new rooms, second stories and extended footprints that match the house they join.

Learn more →A kitchen remodel brings together more trades than almost any other room. We coordinate the layout, cabinetry, counters, tile, plumbing and electrical with one team rather than four.
Learn more →Primary suites, hall baths and powder rooms, taken down to the studs when they need it. A bathroom is small, but it holds a lot of plumbing, tile and waterproofing that has to be done right.
Learn more →A basement is square footage you already own. We turn it into a family room, guest suite or office, with moisture and egress handled before anything else goes in.
