Our Story

2017

First Gut Renovation

The foundation of Fairmount Heights Homes began with a full gut renovation of a personal real estate investment. This project was not a quick flip. It focused on doing the work properly, adding real value, and understanding how design and construction decisions affect long-term outcomes.

2018

Forming the Business

After completing additional renovations and real estate projects, the company was formally established in December 2018. At this stage, the work focused on gut renovations tied to real estate investments rather than client-driven remodeling.

2021

Transition to Residential Clients

In 2021, Fairmount Heights Homes took on its first full residential renovation outside of internal real estate projects. This marked a shift toward working directly with homeowners, applying the same disciplined planning and cost control to client projects.

A Clear Process From First Conversation to Your Finished Home

1 | Plan and Align
We start with a focused consultation to understand your goals, the home, and the level of investment that makes sense. From there, we develop a preliminary design and realistic budget range. This step ensures everyone is aligned before time and money are committed. You leave with clarity on scope, priorities, and next steps.
2 | Design and Price
Once the direction is set, we refine the design, coordinate engineering and permitting, and finalize selections. Pricing is developed alongside the design so there are no surprises later. This phase results in a clear, documented plan and a defined project cost. When construction begins, the scope is already decided.
3 | Build and Deliver
Construction is managed by a single team with clear oversight and accountability. We coordinate trades, schedules, and inspections while keeping you informed throughout the build. Decisions are handled before they become problems, and changes are minimized by design. The project is completed as planned, with quality and long-term value in mind.
