Short answer
We remodel bathrooms and kitchens across Davidson County, including Lexington, Thomasville and the homes around High Rock Lake. What drives the work most is ownership: at 74.4 percent, the county has the highest owner occupancy of the six around Greensboro, so most projects are for people putting money into a house they intend to keep.
Owner-occupied homes from the mid-1980s: what usually needs work
Point2Homes puts the county's median build year at 1985, and Census QuickFacts values the typical owner-occupied home at $219,100. A bathroom from that era tends to have a tub-shower combination, a single vanity and sheet vinyl laid straight on the subfloor. When we pull that floor, we check around the toilet and tub for soft spots before any tile goes down, because tile over a weak base cracks within a few seasons.
Kitchens of the same age often have a workable footprint and tired finishes. In many we keep the layout, replace cabinets and counters, and add the task lighting and outlets the original builder skipped. If the sink base has leaked for years, we open it and check the floor beneath before new cabinets go in. The county logged 1,216 building permits in 2025, a quieter pace than Guilford or Forsyth.
Remodeling a lake house on High Rock Lake
High Rock Lake covers 15,180 acres with 365 miles of shoreline just south of Lexington, and lake homes bring their own list. Bathrooms take heavy use from guests and wet swimmers, so we lean toward tiled showers with a full waterproofing membrane, slip-resistant floors and an exhaust fan sized for the room. Decks and screened porches facing the water see sun and rain all day, which makes fastener choice and flashing at the house more important than the decking color.
Permits and the drive to Lexington
Lexington, the county seat, sits 37.5 road miles southwest of Greensboro, about 47 minutes; from our Randleman office the drive is 34.0 road miles. Thomasville, the largest community in the county, is closer. Davidson's towns and the county each handle their own addresses, so we ask the right one before scheduling. Under G.S. 160D-1110, a refresh on a single-family home costing $40,000 or less with no new plumbing, wiring or structural change can skip a building permit, but most full bath remodels move a drain or add a circuit.
