I would like to thank Stephen and his crew for the amazing work they did remodeling my outdated kitchen (last two pictures). I took my time comparing other contractors prior to the start of the remodel, but Stephen stood out with his professionalism, attention to detail, and fair pricing. He helped us choose the right materials and even provided a 3D model to give us a clear idea of how the final kitchen would look. His contract was very well structured, with everything clearly listed, there were no hidden fees or surprises at the end of the project. His communication was excellent throughout the entire process. They handled everything you see in the photos, removing the bulkhead, adding a dishwasher, new flooring, painting, backsplash tile, garbage disposal, under-cabinet lighting, installing new lights, laying a new water line for the fridge’s water dispenser, and installing all the appliances. What stood out most to me was that Stephen made sure everything was up to his own high standards. If something wasn’t quite there, he made sure it got corrected, which really shows how much he cares about the quality of his work, and I really appreciate that kind of attention to detail. I’m so glad I went with Renewed Homes Construction after taking the time to compare others. If I have more projects in the future, I’ll definitely work with them again. 10/10, highly recommend!

Expert Open-Concept Conversion in Fox Chapel, PA
Open-concept conversion in Fox Chapel means more than removing a wall. Many homes in the borough were built decades ago with closed, compartmentalized floor plans. Separate kitchens, formal dining rooms, and walled-off living spaces made sense then. They do not match how families live today. Pittsburgh Home Renovations handles the full scope: structural assessment, load-bearing wall removal, engineered beam installation, utility relocation, and finish work. Fox Chapel custom homes often carry significant structural complexity. Multi-story construction, heavy original framing, and older electrical and HVAC runs inside walls all require careful planning before demolition begins. We coordinate structural engineering, trades, and finish work under one project. The result is a connected main floor that brings natural light deeper into the home and creates a living space that fits how you actually use it. If you own a Fox Chapel estate and want to open your main floor, call Pittsburgh Home Renovations to schedule a walkthrough.

Open-Concept Conversion FAQ
Common questions about open-concept conversion in Fox Chapel, PA.
Yes, we handle load-bearing wall removal as part of open-concept conversions in Fox Chapel. A structural engineer assesses the span and load, and we install the correct engineered beam before any wall comes down.
We reroute all utilities found inside removed walls before demolition proceeds. Fox Chapel homes built several decades ago often have older wiring runs that we address during this stage.
Yes, we match new finish work to existing trim profiles and refinish or patch hardwood floors so the opened space looks intentional, not pieced together.
