The 2026 Spring Renovation Guide: Planning Your Dream Home in the New River Valley
1. The "Outdoor Living Room" (Deck Season is Coming)
If you live in the NRV, you know that our landscape is defined by hills. Flat backyards are a luxury. That’s why a custom deck isn't just an accessory; it’s an essential part of your square footage.
Why Plan Now?
Everyone waits until the first warm Saturday in April to call a deck builder. By then, the wait times are long, and lumber prices often spike with demand.
By starting the conversation in February, we can handle the design, permitting, and material ordering so that your deck is ready for that first Memorial Day cookout.
What We Build:
We don't just nail boards together. As experienced general contractors, we specialize in:
- Multi-Level Decks: Perfect for navigating the steep slopes of Giles and Montgomery counties.
- Composite vs. Wood: We can walk you through the pros and cons of maintenance-free composite (Trex) versus the natural beauty of pressure-treated lumber.
- Structural Integrity: We know local building codes inside and out. We ensure your ledger boards, footings, and railings are safe for your family for decades to come.
2. The Kitchen: The Heart of the Home
Has your kitchen become a source of frustration? Maybe the layout creates a bottleneck when you’re trying to cook dinner, or the cabinets are dark and dated.
Kitchen remodeling is one of our specialties. It’s also the renovation with the highest Return on Investment (ROI).
- Open Concept: We have the structural expertise to safely remove load-bearing walls, opening your cramped kitchen into the living area for better flow.
- Custom Tile Work: From subway tile backsplashes to intricate mosaic floors, our tile craftsmanship sets us apart.
- Function First: We help you design a layout that works for how you cook, incorporating islands, pantries, and modern lighting.
3. Bathroom Retreats: Custom Tile Showers
If you are still stepping into a fiberglass tub insert from 1995, you are missing out on one of the great joys of homeownership: The Custom Tile Shower.
There is nothing quite like starting your day in a spa-like environment.
- The Waterproofing: The most important part of a bathroom remodel is what you don't see. We use industry-leading waterproofing systems behind the tile to ensure your new shower never leaks or grows mold.
- The Aesthetics: We work with you to choose tiles that match your style—whether that’s a modern slate look or a classic marble finish.
4. The "Roberts and Sons" Difference
We know you have options when choosing a contractor in Southwest Virginia. So, why choose us?
We Are Family Owned & Operated.
The name says it all. We aren't a massive franchise with a revolving door of subcontractors. We are a local business rooted in this community. When you hire Roberts and Sons, you are hiring neighbors who care about their reputation.
Versatility is Our Strength.
Many companies only do one thing. They only do roofs, or they only do painting.
We are full-service General Contractors.
- Do you need a small addition put on the house? We can do it.
- Need the interior painted after the addition is done? We do that too.
- Need a custom tile floor in the new room? We have you covered.
This saves you the headache of trying to coordinate five different companies. You make one call to us, and we handle the rest.
5. Serving the Entire NRV
We are proud to serve a wide radius around our home base in Newport, VA, including:
- Blacksburg & Christiansburg
- Radford
- Roanoke & Salem
- Pearisburg & Giles County
