Remodeling & Renovations in Nashville, TN
Kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home remodels, and basement finishing — the projects that change how a Nashville house actually functions day to day.
Remodeling covers the projects where the room already exists but doesn't work the way you need it to — a kitchen laid out for a different era of cooking, a bathroom with fixtures original to the house, a basement that's just storage instead of usable square footage. Nashville's mix of older 1970s-90s housing stock in neighborhoods like Antioch and South Nashville alongside newer construction across the metro means remodel scope varies a lot from house to house: older homes more often need electrical and plumbing updated as part of the work, while newer builds are usually more about layout and finish upgrades.
These projects also tend to be the ones homeowners live through — someone is usually still in the house while the work happens. Sequencing matters: demo, rough-in, inspection, finish work, in an order that keeps at least part of the house livable whenever the scope allows it.

One contractor for the whole remodel
A remodel touches multiple trades in sequence — demo, framing changes if any, electrical or plumbing rough-in, drywall, flooring, and paint. Coordinating that as separate hires means separate schedules that have to line up perfectly or the job stalls. Martinez Does It All runs all of it as one job with one point of contact, which is the difference between a remodel that takes the estimated time and one that drags because a sub didn't show.
Remodeling questions Nashville homeowners ask
Do I need to move out during a remodel?
It depends on scope. A single bathroom or kitchen remodel usually lets you stay in the house, just without full use of that room for part of the job. A whole-home remodel touching multiple rooms at once may require living elsewhere for portions of the work — this gets mapped out during the estimate, not guessed at afterward.
How long does a typical remodel take in Nashville?
A single-room remodel (bathroom or kitchen) typically runs a few weeks depending on material lead times and the scope of work. Whole-home remodels take longer and get a specific timeline during the walkthrough — Nashville's current renovation demand means some materials and trades have longer lead times than a few years ago, which gets factored into the schedule up front.
Can you match the age of my home's existing trim and finishes?
Nashville has a wide mix of housing stock, from older ranch and split-level homes in neighborhoods like Antioch and South Nashville to newer construction throughout the metro. Matching existing trim, flooring transitions, and finishes to an older home is part of the estimate walkthrough, not an afterthought.
Do you handle the permits for a remodel?
Permit requirements depend on the scope of work and whether it touches structural, electrical, or plumbing systems — this gets confirmed for your specific project and Metro Nashville's requirements during the estimate.
