  • Painting
  • Kitchen remodeling
  • Bathroom remodeling
  • Flooring

These services are often part of a bigger project.

Ed from Duval Construction did a fantastic job on my renovation. I was able to give him my thoughts on what I envisioned and he delivered on all my expectations. It was a pleasure working with the crew and hope to use Duval Construction again for future projects.

Ed with Duval Construction has been a pleasure to work with. We completely gutted a home down to its studs, and the renovations exceeded my expectations! Ed’s attention to detail was amazing. He helped turn a home into our forever home, helping to utilize all our space, and everything turned out amazing! We raised our living room floor and a sunroom to help open up our floor plan. He was always on top of it, offered his opinions and suggestions, and always did great quality work! Would highly recommend using Duval Construction!

Ed and his company have now remodeled a second kitchen for me, and I’m delighted with the results. The beautifully remodeled kitchen with additional storage and opening up a huge blank wall helped my last house sell for top dollar. My newly remodeled kitchen in the new house is much more functional, with better storage. Duval Construction’s work quality is amazing; very detailed, meticulous, with excellent craftsmanship.

Ed and his crew did an amazing job helping us update and remodel our home. We had 2 structural walls that we wanted to knock out and a sunken living room that we wanted to raise to open up our floor plan. Ed was great to work with. He understood what we wanted, offered his recommendations, and always made sure that everything was done the right way.

We just moved to Jax and called several companies to estimate our recently purchased home for remodeling. Ed with Duval Construction was awesome. He made suggestion about our remodel that we didn’t even think of and all work was done perfectly. All workers were very personable and I would certainly trust Ed and his crew in my house if I were not there. Thank you Ed and your crew.

We cannot say enough good things about this team. Proficient in their major renovation (kitchen replacement), careful in execution (interior and exterior painting), and respectful of property (95 year old house), the team from Duval Construction could not have been better. Edmond and his guys have done multiple projects for us over the last decade. Their ability to complete the job despite the age of our home and the quirky nature of this ancient beauty seems no challenge for their skill and ingenuity. When replacement parts are not available at the big box stores, Ed is able to find them through his contacts or synthesize them through his lifetime of construction experience across 2 continents.

Choosing a service

Choosing the Right Service

Not sure where your project fits? These four points will help you describe it and understand what shapes an estimate.

01

Which Construction Service Fits Your Project

Choose the service that describes the main outcome you want. A whole-home renovation changes several parts of an existing house. Structural remodeling changes the construction behind a layout. Window and door work focuses on the openings and the units installed in them. A home addition expands the existing home, while a custom home or ADU creates a new dwelling in a different context.

Your project may involve more than one category. You do not need to separate related work into different inquiries. Tell Ed what you want the completed property to do, what is already there and which parts of the project connect.

When You Want to Keep the House but Change How It Works

A whole-home renovation is a useful starting point when multiple spaces need attention. You may want a more connected living area, updates to kitchens and bathrooms, or consistent flooring and finishes across rooms. The goal is to consider the changes together instead of treating every room as an unrelated decision.

If the renovation involves moving or removing a load-bearing wall, installing a beam or creating a larger opening, structural remodeling becomes part of that wider scope. Duval Construction offers both services, with Ed coordinating engineering and permits for the structural work.

When You Need More Space

An addition, detached ADU and garage conversion serve different needs. An addition expands the main house. A detached ADU creates a secondary dwelling on the property. A garage conversion starts with an existing structure that you want to adapt for living space.

The intended use should guide the first conversation. Explain whether you want connected rooms, a separate place for family or a different use for an existing garage. Site suitability and applicable requirements need to be established before assuming any particular option will work.

02

Construction Details That Should Be Discussed Together

A project description should include more than the most visible feature. A wider door opening may involve structural work, the door itself and finishes around the opening. An addition may also change access between existing rooms. A renovation can combine layout changes with new windows, flooring and painting.

Discussing those relationships early helps define the proposed scope. It also helps you compare ideas in context. Two projects described as a window installation can involve very different work if one uses an existing opening and the other changes the structure of the wall.

Ed has a particular interest in new and enlarged window and door openings. If that is part of your project, include photographs and a description of the intended change when you contact him.

03

Bring Your Plans and the Questions Still Open

Duval Construction can build from supplied architectural plans. If you have drawings, explain whether they describe the whole project or an earlier version of the idea. If you are still planning, share what you know about the property and the outcome you want.

Budget expectations and preferred timing are useful context. They help frame the discussion without turning an initial inquiry into a confirmed construction schedule. Tell Ed about any decisions already made, any existing reports and any parts of the scope you still want to explore.

04

What Influences a Construction Estimate

An estimate needs to reflect the work proposed for your property. Existing conditions, the size of the project, structural changes, material selections and the connection between new and existing spaces can all affect what needs to be included.

For a custom home, supplied plans and site information help describe the intended build. For remodeling, photographs and a clear account of what you want to retain can be equally useful. An addition or ADU also needs to be considered in relation to the property rather than priced as an isolated room.

Duval Construction does not offer financing. If your budget is still taking shape, explain that in the inquiry so the discussion can focus on your priorities and the stage you have reached.

FAQ

Construction Service Questions

Yes. Kitchen remodeling and structural remodeling are both part of Duval Construction's service offering. If your plans include changing a wall, opening or room connection, describe that alongside the kitchen work so the proposed construction can be considered together.

Yes. Impact-rated products are within Duval Construction's installation capabilities. Specific product choices and installation details should be discussed for the property and opening involved. The company also handles replacements and the creation of new or enlarged openings.

Ed works with an engineer and coordinates engineering and permits for the construction work as required by the project. The engineer supplies engineering; Duval Construction provides the building and remodeling services. Share any plans or reports you already have when making an inquiry.

Choose the closest option in the inquiry form and explain the intended result in your message. Include the property location, the parts of the home involved and whether you are working with existing architectural plans. You can discuss the service category with Ed.
