Remodeling Contractor in Congress Heights, District of Columbia
Congress Heights sits on high ground east of the river near St. Elizabeths, with brick rowhomes, garden apartments and single-family houses along Alabama Avenue. Investment here centers on full kitchen and bath rebuilds, basement finishing and whole-home renovation of solid but dated housing stock.
Design-build remodeling in Congress Heights
What makes Congress Heights different from the next town over is the housing stock itself. The projects that pencil out here start from what these homes already do well — and fix what they don't: storage, light, and rooms sized for how families live now, not when the house was drawn.
Homeowners across the Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and Alabama Avenue SE corridors, the St. Elizabeths campus area, the Entertainment and Sports Arena district, and the streets near Oxon Run 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.
What we quote in Congress Heights depends on where in Congress Heights you stand. The homes around the Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue ask different things of a remodel than the ones near the St. Elizabeths campus area — different ages, different bones, different budgets. That is why the estimate starts at your kitchen table, with your rooms measured and your ZIP (20032) permit path already mapped.
There is a reason Congress Heights homeowners call us before they call a mover. Between Alabama Avenue SE corridors and the Entertainment, the location does the persuading; the house just needs to catch up. So the budgets land on kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling first, with the rest designed in as later phases rather than afterthoughts.
Most common calls from Congress Heights
Ask Congress 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 Congress 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.

In Congress 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.

Do you help with design and material choices in Congress Heights?

Yes, and most large projects are. We design the full scope up front — systems, layout, materials palette — then build in fixed-price phases, so phase one never has to be undone for phase three.
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. "”
