Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling in Hattiesburg, MS
A full remodel is where Alex's background comes together — carpentry for the cabinets and trim, tile for the shower and floor, and the plumbing hookups that connect it all, done by the same person from demo to final walkthrough.
Hattiesburg's housing stock is a mix of postwar brick ranch homes near the historic core and USM, and newer construction spreading out through Oak Grove, North Hattiesburg, and neighboring Petal. Older homes often have kitchens and bathrooms that haven't been touched since the house was built — original cabinets, dated tile, layouts that don't match how a modern family actually uses the space. Newer homes usually need less structural work, but homeowners still want to upgrade builder-grade cabinets and fixtures to something that reflects their own taste.
Either way, remodeling in this part of Mississippi means building for the climate as much as the look. Gulf South humidity is hard on bathrooms specifically — poor ventilation and the wrong substrate under tile lead to soft subfloors and mildew within a few years. Alex builds moisture management into every bathroom remodel: proper waterproofing behind tile, ventilation that actually clears the room, and materials that hold up to a Mississippi summer, not just a showroom.
A full remodel also means coordinating trades — cabinets have to be sized around plumbing rough-ins, tile has to be planned around fixture placement, and trim has to close it all out cleanly. Because Alex does the carpentry, tile, and plumbing hookups himself, that coordination doesn't depend on three different subcontractors showing up on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle both planning and construction for a remodel?
Yes. Alex walks the space with you, talks through what's realistic for the layout and budget, and then does the carpentry, tile, and plumbing hookups himself instead of handing pieces off to different subs.
How long does a full kitchen or bathroom remodel take in Hattiesburg?
It depends on scope — a bathroom remodel is usually a shorter, more contained job than a full kitchen, which involves more trades stacked together (cabinets, counters, plumbing, electrical coordination). Alex gives a realistic timeline at the estimate, based on your specific layout, not a generic average.
Do I need to move out of my house during a remodel?
Most homeowners stay in the house during a kitchen or bathroom remodel — the work is contained to that room. If you only have one bathroom, that's worth planning around, and Alex will talk through the timeline so you know what to expect.
Can you work with my existing layout, or does everything have to be gutted?
Both are options. Some homes — especially older Hattiesburg houses near the historic core — have layouts worth keeping and just need updated cabinets, tile, and fixtures. Others need to be opened up. Alex will tell you honestly which one your space needs.
Do you pull permits for remodeling work in Hattiesburg?
It depends on the scope — jobs that touch plumbing or electrical typically need one. Alex will tell you upfront if your project requires a permit and handle it as part of the job.
