Remodeling Contractor in Columbia Heights, District of Columbia
Columbia Heights rebuilt around its Metro station with classic DC rowhouses, early apartment buildings and newer condos side by side along 14th Street. Rowhouse owners open main floors into real kitchens, redo stacked baths and convert English basements into rentable or family space.
Design-build remodeling in Columbia Heights
Talk to Columbia Heights homeowners and a theme repeats: they are not chasing a new address. They like the street, the commute and the schools. The remodel is how the house catches up — a kitchen that hosts, a bath that works at 7 a.m., a lower level that earns its keep.
Homeowners across the 14th Street NW and Irving Street corridor, the Columbia Heights Civic Plaza, Tivoli Square, and the rowhome blocks around Cardozo and the Girard Street park hire us for the same reason: a single design-build team that designs it, permits it, builds it and warranties it — no handoffs, no day-labor subs.
Geography shapes the work here. Around the rowhome blocks around Cardozo, the questions are about fitting new space and new systems into homes that were built for a different era, while near the 14th Street NW the projects skew toward kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling. We plan for both — and for the permit office that reviews them.
Walk the Girard Street park with a contractor's eye and the pattern is obvious: good bones, dated kitchens, baths at the end of their service life. Walk Irving Street corridor and you will see the same story at a different chapter. Our job in Columbia Heights is to close that gap — permits, dust control and all — without anyone moving out of the neighborhood they chose.
Most common calls from Columbia Heights
Ask Columbia Heights homeowners what they would change first and most point at the kitchen: too little counter, cabinets from another decade, and a layout that isolates the cook. That is exactly the work we do most here.
The typical Columbia Heights bath project trades a tub-shower combo and a single vanity for a walk-in shower, double sinks and storage that was designed, not squeezed in.
Basements are the cheapest square footage in Columbia Heights — we turn them into rec rooms, guest suites, home offices and gyms, starting with moisture testing so the finish lasts.
In Columbia Heights, whole-home projects are usually love-the-location decisions: the owners could move, but the street wins. We rebuild the inside to match the address, stage by stage.

Homeowner Reviews
What homeowners say about us
★★★★★
“" Eagle did our primary bath top to bottom. Daily updates, foreman on site every morning, and the finished space looks better than the renderings. Fixed price held — no surprise upcharges. Would absolutely hire again. "”
★★★★★
“" Whole-home renovation in our Eastport house. The historic district approval alone made me consider walking away from the project, but they handled HPC, the County, and HOA without me having to lift a finger. "”
★★★★★
“" Kitchen + bath combo. The crew was respectful of the rest of the house — ZipWall everywhere, RamBoard on the floors, no dust in the rest of the home. We have two kids and stayed in the house the whole time. "”
