Working on Elkins Houses That Have Stood for Generations

Elkins was built as a railroad town. The railroad reached the valley in 1889, the city was incorporated in 1890, and a building boom followed. Plenty of the houses in town today are older homes with plaster walls, original trim, hardwood floors and stone or block foundations.

Those details change how a remodel should go. Before anything gets torn out, we look at how your house was built, then talk through what can stay and what has to go. No surprises halfway through.

Remodels and Repairs in Randolph County

Inside the house:

  • Kitchen remodels
  • Bathroom remodels
  • Basement remodels, including basements that have been wet
  • Whole-home remodels
  • Home additions, when an Elkins house needs more room than its original footprint gives you
  • Drywall, flooring, trim, cabinet and paint repairs

Tear-out and haul-away:

  • Demolition of a room, a section or a full structure. We coordinate demolition permits and asbestos testing.
  • Cleanout labor and 16-yard roll-off dumpsters. Call for pricing and rental terms.

See examples on our projects page.

Mountain Winters Are Hard on a House

Randolph is West Virginia’s largest county, and much of it is high country. Elkins sits at about 1,930 feet, with mountains topping 4,000 feet to the east. Cold snaps can split pipes in crawl spaces and outside walls, especially in a cabin or seasonal place that sits empty for weeks.

If a pipe bursts, shut off the water and call us. We don’t do plumbing. We make temporary fixes to stop the water until a licensed plumber assesses the damage. Then we dry the house and rebuild what got wet. More on frozen and burst pipes.

Wind and heavy snow can also bring limbs and trees down onto a house. We put emergency tarps over roof openings to keep the weather out, then repair the inside. See storm damage repair.

Damage Repair and Remodeling From One Company

Lots of remodels begin with something going wrong: a basement that seeps every spring, a pipe that let go, a fire, mold hiding behind paneling. Red Ridge is an IICRC-certified restoration company as well as a contractor, so we can deal with the damage and then rebuild the room.

We’re based in Buckhannon, and Elkins and Randolph County are inside our regular service area. For emergencies: Available 24/7, on site in 120 minutes or less across north central WV.
