Custom Home Remodeling Contractor in Cullman and Smith Lake
If your home layout does not fit how you live, you do not have to move. A custom home remodel can fix traffic flow, storage, light, and function across multiple rooms.
Hunter’s Ridge Construction is a licensed, veteran-owned general contractor based in Cullman, Alabama. We handle custom home remodeling in Cullman and the Smith Lake area. Every project starts with an on-site walk-through and a clear written estimate.

We plan full-scope remodels. We do not quote custom remodel work from photos alone.
When a Custom Home Remodel Makes Sense
A full-home remodel is a good fit if you want to:
- Open up a closed layout
- Update multiple rooms at the same time
- Fix uneven floors, squeaks, or soft spots
- Improve lighting, storage, and daily flow
- Update older systems (plumbing, wiring, ventilation)
- Improve how the home works for family or guests
Many homes in Cullman have solid structure but dated layouts. Many Smith Lake homes deal with humidity, heavy weekend traffic, and access issues on sloped lots. We plan around those realities.
What We Mean by “Custom Home Remodeling”
This is not a quick update in one room. It is a planned project that can include:
- Kitchen updates and layout changes
- Bathroom remodels and safer layouts
- Flooring updates across main living areas
- Tile and waterproofing in wet areas
- Interior painting and trim
- Lighting and electrical improvements
- Plumbing updates (when needed)
- Porch upgrades (covered or screened)
- Structural work when walls need to move
We help you decide what should be done now, what can wait, and what should be phased.
The Big Risk in Older Homes: Hidden Problems
Most issues show up after demo, unless you look for them early.
During the walk-through, we check for:
- Soft spots from old leaks (kitchens, baths, laundry)
- Squeaks and subfloor movement
- Uneven floors from settling
- Moisture risk from crawlspaces and slabs
- Past repairs that covered up problems
- Ventilation issues (especially in baths)
If we find concerns, we address them in the scope before work starts. We do not build over weak areas.
Smith Lake Remodels: Traffic, Humidity, and Access
Smith Lake projects often need extra planning because of:
- Homes closed up part of the week (humidity control matters)
- Heavy guest use on weekends
- Longer material carries and staging needs
- Sloped lots, tight driveways, and HOA rules
We plan the sequence, staging, and protection so the project runs smoother.
Common Projects We Handle
Layout changes and open living spaces
We can remove or rework walls where it makes sense, so the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow better.
Whole-home flooring updates
We install hardwood, laminate, and LVP and address subfloor issues first so the new floors feel solid.
Kitchen and bathroom upgrades as one plan
Updating both often saves time and keeps finishes consistent across the home.
Porches and outdoor living
Covered and screened porches are a strong upgrade in this area, especially for lake homes.
Our Custom Home Remodel Process
1) Walk-through and goals
We walk the home with you. We listen first. We look for problem areas and discuss priorities.
2) Written estimate and clear scope
You get a clear scope of work and a written estimate based on your home’s conditions.
3) Planning and scheduling
We confirm the scope, plan the phases, and set expectations for access and downtime.
4) Build and communication
We coordinate trades and keep you updated so you are not chasing crews.
5) Final walk-through
We review the work, handle punch items, and close out the project.
As a U.S. Army Infantry Veteran, I bring the same focus on planning, clear communication, and finishing the mission to every project we take on.
