Remodeling in
Ross

Ross sits in southwest Butler County, a short drive from Hamilton along US-27. It's a mix of country properties on larger lots and established subdivisions, and families tend to stay here a long time. That means many Ross remodeling projects are about making a home work better for the next 10 or 20 years rather than updating it to sell.

Common requests include finishing the basement for kids or grandkids, updating a kitchen that has been the same since the house was built, adding a walk-in shower, and building a deck to enjoy the yard.

Ross is just down the road from our home base in Hamilton, so getting out for an estimate or a quick check-in is easy. Many of the homes we work on here are on larger, wooded lots or in quiet subdivisions where homeowners care a lot about doing things right the first time. That fits the way we work.

With bigger yards and wooded lots, decks are one of the most popular projects we build in Ross. We build pressure-treated and composite decks sized for how you want to use them, from a simple grilling deck off the back door to multi-level decks with stairs, built-in seating and covered sections.

Every deck we build has properly sized footings, framing and ledger connections, and we handle the permit and inspections. A well-built deck should last for decades. Read more in our post on planning a deck build.

Inside, Ross homes often have the square footage but not the layout. We open up kitchens, add islands and pantry storage, and replace dated cabinets and counters. In bathrooms, we convert tubs to walk-in tile showers and update vanities and lighting. Basements become family rooms, game rooms, offices and guest suites with egress windows and bathrooms.

In many Ross homes, the staircase is the first thing you see when you walk in. Replacing a dated railing with a new wood or iron balustrade can completely change the entryway. We also build fireplace mantels, built-in shelves and custom trim, and install doors and flooring throughout the house. Check out our project gallery for examples of our staircase and carpentry work.

Because many Ross homeowners plan to stay put for years, it's common for them to want several projects done: a kitchen, a bathroom, the basement, maybe a deck. Doing everything at once can be efficient but expensive. Spreading it out keeps the budget manageable but takes longer. We'll help you figure out what makes sense for you.

A good plan usually starts with anything that affects other rooms, like plumbing or electrical upgrades, then moves to the spaces you use most. If you're finishing the basement and remodeling a bathroom upstairs, for example, it may make sense to run new plumbing for both at the same time. If you're adding a deck, timing it for late summer or fall gets it ready for the next season.

We'll put the full plan in writing with costs for each phase, so you can decide what to do now and what to save for later. There's no pressure to do it all at once.
