What We Do & Who We Serve

General contractor pricing ranges from roughly $10,000 for smaller repairs and renovations to $250,000+ for whole-home remodels, structural work, additions, or commercial build-outs.

Start by checking whether the contractor is licensed, insured, and willing to define scope clearly before money changes hands. Then look for direct supervision, references, realistic scheduling, and a process for handling permits, change orders, and trade coordination so you are not left managing the project yourself.

Many structural, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and major renovation scopes in Lexington-Fayette do require permits and inspections through LFUCG or the relevant authority having jurisdiction. Cosmetic-only work may not, but permit rules depend on the exact scope, so the safest move is to review the job before assuming it can proceed without permitting.

A kitchen remodel in Lexington can land anywhere from about $35,000 for a more controlled cabinet-countertop-fixture update to $90,000 or more for a larger layout change with electrical, plumbing, flooring, tile, and higher-end finishes. Appliance package, custom work, structural changes, and schedule complexity are usually the biggest cost drivers.

Bathroom renovations typically start around $10,000 and can exceed $40,000 depending on tile work, plumbing relocation, custom fixtures, waterproofing, and layout changes.

For many homes in the Lexington market, a new roof can range from roughly $9,000 to $25,000 or more depending on roof size, pitch, decking condition, ventilation changes, shingle selection, and whether storm damage or insurance scope affects the work. Multi-structure properties and complex rooflines can push pricing higher.

An insurance supplement is additional scope and pricing submitted after the initial claim estimate when hidden damage, code-required work, or missing line items become visible. It is how the repair budget is brought back in line with the real work the property needs.

The best way to maximize a storm damage claim is to document everything early, compare the carrier scope to the actual field conditions, and submit support for missed items with photos, measurements, and trade-level detail. The goal is not inflating the claim. It is making sure legitimate repair scope, code items, and hidden damage are not left out.
