Kitchen Remodels

The Room Everyone Ends Up In

Kitchen remodels run from new cabinets and countertops to removing a load-bearing wall for an open floorplan. We help you make selections you love that still fit the budget you set.

Bathroom Remodels

Guest Bath or Primary Suite

We remodel guest baths, hall baths, and primary baths, including curbless showers and tub-to-shower conversions. A bathroom touches nearly every trade, and we know where you can save without losing the look you want.

Whole Home Renovations

Every Room, One Plan

A whole home renovation updates every room on one plan and one schedule. We work on everything from small cabins to 7,000-square-foot homes when the layout stopped fitting the family living in it.

Home Additions & ADUs

Grow the House You Love

We add living space to homes people don't want to leave: primary suites, second stories, bump-outs, garage apartments, and ADUs. Our addition projects took first and second place nationally with the NAHB in 2024.

Finished Basements

More Than Square Footage

Most basement problems come from unmanaged moisture. We plan drainage, vapor barriers, insulation, and sound control before any drywall goes up, so your new office or guest suite stays dry and comfortable.

Aging-in-Place Modifications (CAPS)

Stay In Your Space

Our certified Aging-in-Place Specialists use universal design so your home works for you now and later. That means curbless showers, wider doorways, pull-out drawers, and switches and controls that are easy to reach.

Green Remodeling

Comfort You Can Feel

Green remodeling improves insulation, air sealing, windows, and ventilation. You get lower energy bills, fewer cold rooms, and less maintenance, whether we're working on one room or the whole house.

Commercial Remodels

Built for Your Business

We remodel short-term rentals, bed and breakfasts, light retail, and select office spaces. Commercial code drives different materials and higher costs, and we walk you through both before you commit to anything.

Veteran Owned

About Our Remodeling Company

Semper Fi is Latin for "Always Faithful," the Marine Corps motto. Our founders Jay Cope and Chris Harrin were childhood friends who served in the Marines together before founding Semper Fi Custom Remodeling. Honor, courage, and commitment shaped their work ethic in the Corps, and those values set the standard for our team and company culture today.

Staying faithful to our word, our craftsmanship, and our clients is how we define excellence. This guides how we manage a build and how we handle our relationship with you. We bring pride to the veteran community through award-winning work and how we treat clients and their homes.

Every member of the Semper Fi team is handpicked for the specific skills they bring to our projects and their ability to deliver a client-first remodeling experience from your estimate through completion and beyond. Semper Fi is proud to serve Asheville, Western North Carolina, and Greenville, South Carolina.

MEET THE TEAM

Our Design & Build Process

Using our proven client-first approach, we manage projects from concept to completion with dedicated personal attention. Our team is punctual, reliable, and committed to respecting your home as if it were our own. With Semper Fi Custom Remodeling, you can expect quality workmanship and clear communication throughout the project.

1. Conversation & Fit

Every project begins with a conversation focused on your goals, priorities, timeline, and budget range. This step helps determine if we’re the right fit and ensures alignment before moving forward.

We explain the process, outline next steps, and set clear expectations from the start—so nothing feels uncertain.

2. On‑Site Walkthrough & Discovery

Meeting at your home allows our team to understand the space, evaluate existing conditions, and discuss possibilities in context. This walkthrough helps identify constraints, opportunities, and early considerations that may affect scope or cost.

The same team stays involved as the project progresses, ensuring continuity as ideas turn into plans.

3. Ballpark, Design & Detailed Estimate

With a clear understanding of the project, we provide a ballpark investment range and can make adjustments to scope, design, or selections in order to get the ballpark to match your desired investment amount.

As the project moves forward, you’ll work with our in‑house design team or trusted partner to refine layouts, selections, and details.

4. Proposal, Scheduling & Communication

Once scope, design, and pricing are aligned, we review the full project proposal together and prepare for construction. Clients have a single point of contact and access to a dedicated online portal where schedules, updates, selections, and approvals are organized in one place.

This keeps communication clear and allows you to stay informed without feeling overwhelmed.

5. Construction, Walkthrough & Support

During construction, our team remains focused on quality, cleanliness, and respect for your home. Once work is complete, we conduct a final walkthrough, address remaining details, and transition into the warranty phase.

Even after the project is finished, we remain available to answer questions and provide support—because our commitment doesn’t end at completion.

Why Homeowners Choose Semper Fi

Most homeowners reach us with a stack of bids that don't line up and no way to tell which one is realistic. What they want is clear communication, honest pricing before the contract is signed, and an experienced team they can trust.

We know older homes and how permitting works in Asheville, so we scope a project in detail before we price it. From there you get a dependable point of contact and online job portal, professionalism on the job site, and follow-through on what we say. A client-first experience means we measure the success of a finished job by client satisfaction.

Common Questions

Remodeling FAQs

▸How long will my remodeling project take?

The timeline of a remodeling project depends on scope, complexity, and selections, but we can give realistic ranges. A standard bathroom remodel is typically 6–8 weeks, and a typical kitchen renovation is often 8–12 weeks. For large-scale jobs like home additions, the project timeline can be 4+ months if engineering, design, and layout or structural changes are required. Your schedule is tracked and updated throughout the project, and you’ll have access to a portal where the schedule is dynamic and up-to-date.

▸Do clients have control over the budget and choices?

▸Can I live in my home during the remodeling process?

Yes, in many cases you can — but it depends on your project scope and your comfort level. During construction, you should expect some combination of noise, temporary utility interruptions, and limited access to certain areas. We communicate those moments in advance so you can plan around them.

For many kitchen/bath remodels, living at home can be inconvenient, and for some phases (like floor sanding/staining or major structural work) we may recommend stepping out temporarily — but we can adapt to your specific needs for comfort and utility.

▸How are payments structured and when are invoices due?

Semper Fi uses a milestone-based 6‑draw payment structure tied to real progress. Invoice timing depends on the scope of work in the project, but typically 10% of project cost is due at signing, and 30% is due the day that construction starts. Terms and financial details will be clearly stated and agreed upon early in the process. Final payment won’t be collected until inspections and walkthrough are complete and everyone is satisfied. See more about payment schedule & financing options.

▸Who will be my main point of contact, and how is communication handled?

Pre‑construction, your main point of contact is the Project Development Manager. They guide scope discussions, coordinate meetings (designer/engineer/architect as needed), and keep the front-end process organized.

Once construction begins, your main point of contact becomes your Project Manager who will remain in contact through the completion of the remodeling process. Clients also stay up to date in our client portal to track communication, schedules, selections, changes (including between the team, the homeowner, and trade partners), progress and schedule updates there.
