Contractors for Chattanooga's Older and Newer Homes

Chattanooga is the seat of Hamilton County, and its housing reflects more than a century of building. In neighborhoods like St. Elmo, Highland Park and North Chattanooga, many homes date to the early 1900s, with plaster walls, wood floors and framing that predate modern codes. On the North Shore and in Hill City, bungalows and newer infill sit side by side.

Looking for contractors in Chattanooga usually means one of two things: a house that needs updating without losing what is good about it, or a repair that has to reach into old framing and plumbing. Both call for a crew that looks behind the surface first, and both are work we take on from our base across the river in Hixson.

The city also has its own permit process, which differs from the county's, and older houses sometimes turn up conditions that no one planned for. We talk through what is likely to come up before the first wall is opened.

Local Notes for Working in Chattanooga

Older homes, hidden conditionsHouses from the early 1900s in St. Elmo, Highland Park and North Chattanooga can have original wiring, plumbing and framing behind plaster. We plan for surprises.
Hills and ridgesMissionary Ridge, Lookout Mountain and the city's many slopes mean access, grading and foundations vary a lot from lot to lot.
Humid climateThe Tennessee Valley is humid for much of the year, so moisture control in bathrooms, kitchens and crawlspaces is a regular concern.
City permittingWork inside Chattanooga city limits follows the city's permit process, which is different from the county process outside the city.
