Renovation

Our reputation is built on accountability, craftsmanship, and industry-leading client communication.

Since our first renovation projects in 2008, we’ve transformed homes across Chattanooga and surrounding areas with the same care and expertise—no matter project size, building age, or complexity of design.

New Blue builds smart by executing complex renovations, additions, and adaptive reuse in close partnership with local architects and engineers.

Today, our renovation services have evolved to offer integrated design to clients for projects under $1 million, guided by our managers and longtime design partners. This integrated design-build approach helps clients control budget, schedule, and quality, ensuring a smoother, smarter renovation experience from start to finish.

Renovation Process

Project Consultation

Review project goals, budget, and our process with client and architect. Discuss schedule, selection criteria, and historical pricing data.

Design Phase

If the client has architect or designs plans, we offer a pre-construction contract to review constructability, plan completeness, and costs. If not, we facilitate project design with a New Blue partner to reflect your scope and budget.

Pre-Construction

Partner collaboratively with architect and client in areas of constructability, engineering integration, schedule formation, contract negotiation, and value engineering.

Production

Handoff to production team, finalize schedule, review project management norms, begin construction.

Detailed Close-Out

Create a timely punchlist and provide expert project-specific support during warranty and beyond (1-3 years).

“Our process is driven by design—and in turn, by our clients. This crucial first step defines scope, sharpens estimates, and gives clients a tangible vision. Design sparks early momentum for our team to create something truly special.”

Jonathan Lehman, Director of Development
