The Brick Ranch
A mid-century brick ranch taken back to the studs inside.
Everything behind the original brick is new. A reworked kitchen with full-height cabinetry, granite and a tiled backsplash; refinished hardwood floors in the bedrooms; new paint throughout; an updated bath. Outside, the brick, the shutters and the wrought-iron porch rail were kept — the house still reads as what it always was, which is the point.
Whole-Home Renovation in Charleston, SC
VIP Construction is a general contractor in Charleston, South Carolina, and whole-home renovation is one of the jobs we do most. Many of the area’s mid-century brick ranches are solid on the outside and dated on the inside, and the best result usually comes from renewing everything behind the brick while keeping the house recognizable from the street. If you are looking for a whole-home renovation contractor in Charleston, this is the kind of project we handle from demolition to the final walkthrough.
A full renovation touches every trade in the house. Instead of hiring a separate crew for the kitchen, the floors, the bath and the paint, you work with one company, on one schedule, with one person to call when something needs to change.
Kitchens, Baths and Floors
The kitchen is usually the center of the project: new layout where it makes sense, full-height cabinetry, stone countertops, tiled backsplashes and updated fixtures. Bathrooms get the same attention, from vanities and lighting to tile and paint. Original hardwood floors are refinished whenever they can be saved, and new flooring is matched to them in the rest of the house.
Fresh paint throughout, new trim and doors where needed, and updated lighting tie everything together, so the house feels finished room by room rather than patched.
Keeping the Character of the House
A brick ranch has its own personality: the brick itself, the shutters, the porch rail, the proportions of the windows. We keep those elements and repair them where needed, so the renovation adds comfort without erasing what the house always was. Outside, decks, patios, carports and the yard can be part of the same scope, including tree work, cleanup and haul-off.
