At Commonwealth Construction & Remodeling, we transform home exteriors throughout the Richmond metro area, with a focus on Richmond, Chesterfield County, and Henrico County, plus surrounding Virginia communities. As a locally owned and operated company native to the area, we're a short drive away and invested in the neighborhoods we serve.
From the older colonials and Cape Cods in Richmond's established neighborhoods to the brick ranches and two-stories throughout Chesterfield and Henrico and the newer builds further out, the exteriors on many area homes are working harder than their owners realize. Central Virginia's humid subtropical climate is tough on exteriors in particular: hot, humid summers cause wood to swell and stick, cold snaps and freeze-thaw cycles pull seals apart, and wind-driven rain from summer storms and passing tropical systems tests every gap around the frame. Over years of that cycle, even a well-made home can shift, drop its weatherproofing, and start letting in air, water, and outside noise.
For homeowners in Richmond and the surrounding areas, exterior remodeling needs often become most noticeable as the seasons change. Heat, humidity, heavy rain, and winter temperature swings can take a toll on windows, siding, roofing, doors, gutters, decks, and other exterior components, leading to drafts, moisture intrusion, fading, warping, rot, and general wear over time. Older homes may also experience settling and aging materials that affect both appearance and performance. When we evaluate an exterior remodeling project, we draw on 30 years of experience working with homes throughout the Richmond area to recommend the right products and improvements for the property, the homeowner’s goals, and the demands of our local climate.
