The work we do — and what it actually costs.
Every project starts with a real conversation. We tell you what’s involved, give you a specific number, and hold to it.
Bathroom Remodels
Stop apologizing for your bathroom.
You invite someone over and steer them toward the other bathroom. You’ve been meaning to do something about it for three years. Louisville’s older homes have beautiful bones — the bathrooms are usually the thing that hasn’t kept up.
We tear out what isn’t working and build something that is. New tile. New fixtures. Better light. The kind of bathroom that stops the conversation when a guest sees it for the first time.
What’s included
- Full demo and disposal (we haul everything out)
- Tile work: floors, shower walls, tub surrounds
- Vanity, sink, and fixture installation
- Shower and tub conversions (including walk-in conversions)
- Lighting and ventilation upgrades
- Custom storage: built-in niches, linen storage
- Drywall, moisture barrier, finishing and paint
Timeline
Most bathroom remodels complete in 10 to 14 working days.
Typical range
$18,000 to $35,000
Tile selection, layout changes, and what we find behind the walls all move the number. We’ll tell you before we touch anything.

Kitchen Renovations
The kitchen works harder than any other room in your house. It should work for you.
Your kitchen is where the day starts. Where homework gets done at the counter. Where the whole family ends up on Friday night. It shouldn’t be a room you’re constantly working around — the drawer that doesn’t close, the layout that doesn’t make sense, the lighting that makes everything look worse than it is.
We renovate kitchens that are tired, cramped, or just not set up the way your family actually lives. New cabinets. New countertops. Better flow. More light. An island if the space earns one.
What’s included
- Cabinet removal and full new cabinet installation
- Countertop fabrication and installation (quartz, granite, butcher block)
- Tile backsplash
- Lighting upgrades including under-cabinet
- Plumbing and fixture work
- Appliance integration and hookups
- Drywall, finishing and paint
Timeline
Kitchen renovations typically run 3 to 6 weeks depending on scope.
Typical range
$30,000 to $65,000
Cabinet quality is the biggest lever. We’ll walk you through every tradeoff.
Talk about your kitchen“I didn’t realize how much time I was losing to a kitchen that didn’t work until we had one that did.”
Full Home Renovations
Some houses need more than one room.
Louisville’s older housing stock has something you can’t buy new: character. Good bones. Neighborhoods that are actually worth living in. Homes from the 1950s through the 1980s have personality — and they often have plumbing that hasn’t been touched since Eisenhower.
A full renovation gives you the character of the house you bought and the function of a house built for how you actually live. One crew. One point of contact. From the first room to the last coat of paint.
What we handle
- Full interior renovations, room by room or all at once
- Layout changes including wall removal (we handle structural)
- Kitchen and bathroom overhauls as part of the whole
- Hardwood and tile flooring throughout
- Lighting upgrades and electrical work
- Plumbing updates and bathroom additions
- Paint and finish work throughout
Timeline
Varies by scope. We give you a realistic schedule at the estimate — and we hold to it.
Typical range
Starting around $80,000
We’ll give you a specific number at the walkthrough.
Tell us about your house“I keep finding rooms I forgot we redid. Everything just looks like it belongs now.”
Additions
More space, built to match.
Not everyone wants to move. Sometimes the house you have just needs more of it. A primary suite. A bedroom for a new baby. An expanded kitchen. A sunroom that actually gets used.
We design and build additions that look like they were always part of the house. Same roofline. Same materials. No obvious seam where old meets new. Done right, people don’t realize it was added at all.
What we handle
- Primary suite additions
- Bedroom and bathroom additions
- Kitchen expansions
- Sunrooms and three-season porches
- Garage conversions and ADUs
Timeline
Most residential additions take 6 to 12 weeks from permit approval to completion.
Typical range
Starting around $50,000
We’ll give you a specific number after the walkthrough.
Start the addition conversation“Every contractor I talked to wanted to just slap something on the back of the house. Derby Built was the only one who cared what it would look like from the street.”
