How much does it cost to build a custom home in Middle Tennessee?
Most custom homes in the Nashville area cost roughly $200 to $350 per square foot to build, before land, with high-end finishes and difficult sites running higher. Site work, roof complexity and the kitchen and bath finish level move the number most. Southern Belle Construction prices every home line by line in a free written estimate.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Nashville?
A mid-range kitchen remodel in Middle Tennessee most often lands between $45,000 and $85,000; moving walls or plumbing, adding an island with services, or choosing custom cabinetry and natural stone pushes it to $90,000 to $150,000 and up. Cabinets and counters are usually half the budget.
Does Southern Belle Construction offer free estimates?
Yes. Every project starts with a free consultation, a site visit and a written, itemized estimate with no obligation. Call (615) 815-7698 or send the form and we will reply within one business day.
Is Southern Belle Construction licensed and insured?
Yes. Southern Belle Construction, LLC holds Tennessee contractor’s license #76533 for residential and commercial work, carries general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, and is HomeAdvisor screened and approved.
What areas does Southern Belle Construction serve?
Nashville and every city within about 50 miles, including Hendersonville, Gallatin, Goodlettsville, White House, Springfield, Brentwood, Franklin, Nolensville, Spring Hill, Mt. Juliet, Lebanon, Murfreesboro, Smyrna, Clarksville, Ashland City and Pleasant View. The company is based in White House in Sumner County.
How long does a remodel take?
A bathroom takes three to five weeks, a kitchen six to ten, a screened porch three to six, an addition two to six months and a custom home eight to fourteen months of construction. Design, selections and permits add a few weeks to a few months before that, and we give you a written schedule before work starts.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We prepare the drawings, pull the building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits in our name, schedule every inspection and hand you the closed-out paperwork at the end. Unpermitted work is not something we do.
How do payments work?
Every project runs on a written contract with a deposit and progress payments tied to milestones you can see. Clients who finance typically use a HELOC, a renovation loan or a construction loan through their bank, and we supply the documentation lenders ask for.
