VPC’s Rivers Edge Remodel is a stunning custom home remodel located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The renovation of this space included a total remodel of the kitchen, upgrading bathroom finishes, interior wallpapering, and painting, installing wall paneling as well as new railing in the entryway and great room.
The kitchen was fully remodeled with vinyl plank flooring, custom backsplash on the wall above the stove, and fantasy granite countertops with eased edges. The cabinets displayed are Koch Maple White with 5-piece door and drawer fronts. The upgraded appliances showcased are the dual fuel range, custom vent hood hidden with cabinetry, and a farm sink.
Other features to highlight include the custom iron rhodo – styled pine railing installed in the open concept great room with a poly-stained finish. The entryway paneling installed is a poplar bark with wainscoting and a cedar trim topped off with a poly finish. The paneling also includes an HVAC custom cedar recirculating vent. Lastly, the VPC team touched up the existing bathrooms with new vanities, interior paint coats, wallpaper, and client-picked light fixtures.

Updates from the VPC Team |
|
Welcome to the Team, Andrew!
|
|
Andrew Dolan - Superintendent |
Andrew Dolan was born and raised in Red Rock, TX. Andrew has been around building his whole life, beginning with helping his father build outbuildings at their home as soon as he was old enough to lift a hammer. The love for building has always been a part of his life and he considers himself extremely privileged to be able to do it for a living.
After attending Moody Bible Institute for Pastoral Studies, playing soccer for their college team, and working in Germany for two years, he returned to the states to coach soccer professionally for the next 11 years. However, the pull of his passion for building had Andrew returning to Texas where he spent the next two years learning many different aspects of the building industry both commercial and residential.
Andrew and his wife decided to move to Boone to accept a job in timber framing and raise their growing family out of the Texas heat! He quickly became proficient in timber framing and has led crews up and down the east coast building everything from homes to theme park rides.
In Andrew’s free time he loves to run, play soccer, read a good book, build furniture, and spend time with his wife and three children.

Did you know that the first restaurant was opened in 1765 by a Parisian named Boulanger? The majority of the population ate their meals at home in that time thus revolutionizing what we now call "eating out".
Restaurants have become even more popular to this day and VPC has participated in several successful restaurant remodel projects in the High Country area.

Are you looking to give your home a facelift? A bathroom renovation is a great place to start. Whether you’re planning to sell your home or modernize it to keep it “on trend”, there are numerous benefits to a bathroom renovation. Here are four to consider:
1. It can increase the value of your home. According to HGTV.com, a minor bathroom remodel gives you a 102% return at resale. This could include installing a new tub or sink, upgrading the tile, or switching out the vanity and fixtures.
2. The utility savings start immediately. Replacing leaky faucets, adding aerators, and installing a water-efficient toilet are just a few ways to ensure quality systems and cost-efficiency.
3. It creates a peaceful sanctuary. Performing daily routines in an outdated and unorganized space can lead to stress. With a bathroom remodel, you can choose textures and colors that help create a calming atmosphere. One idea is to install a clawfoot tub to unwind in after a long day...or for bathing that beloved canine pet!
4. Clutter is reduced. Poorly laid-out bathrooms tend to invite clutter and inefficiency. Perhaps you could use more storage space for towels, washcloths, and other personal care products. Having an orderly bathroom design can make everyday routines run more smoothly and with less hassle.
VPC Builders is experienced in executing successful residential renovation projects and completes each step with precision and confidence.
