General Contracting and Home Remodeling in Pittsburgh, PA

Pittsburgh is a city of distinct neighborhoods, each with its own character, architecture, and housing styles—from historic homes in communities like Shadyside and Squirrel Hill to mid-century houses, newer construction, and growing suburban communities throughout the greater Pittsburgh area. For homeowners, that variety often creates opportunities to modernize older spaces, reconfigure layouts, add more living space, or customize a home to better fit their lifestyle. Evergreen General Contracting works with homeowners throughout the Pittsburgh area on kitchen and bathroom renovations, finished basements, home additions, decks, outdoor living spaces, and other custom residential construction projects.

“Highly recommended! After dealing with a few contractors not showing up or not returning calls at all, I reached out to Evergreen. They were professional, responsive, and great communicators. Not your typical contractor! Just good people to work with. And, fairly priced as well. Call them first.”

“This contractor was fantastic! We put a new deck on and they came out a few times to discuss prior to starting job. They wanted to make sure they could do the privacy area the way we wanted. They were very thorough. They are very professional. Very responsive. I just love them. I would use them again!”

Our Home Remodeling Process

No two projects are exactly alike, which is why our process is tailored to the needs of each home and homeowner. That said, most Evergreen projects follow a similar path from initial planning and design through construction and completion.

01

See the Space

We'll start with a conversation and then visit your home to understand the existing space, discuss possibilities, and begin defining the scope of your project.

02

Create the Plan

We'll turn your ideas into a thoughtful plan that considers layout, functionality, budget, and the way you want your home to work.

03

Design and Select

We'll work together through the details that bring your vision together by selecting materials and finishes, fixtures, cabinetry, and custom elements.

04

Finalize and Prepare

We'll review the scope, finalize the details, complete the necessary preparations, and make sure everyone is aligned before construction begins.

05

Build

Our team will manage and complete the construction of your project while keeping you informed on progress and available to answer questions every step of the way.

06

Final Walkthrough

Pittsburgh Home Remodeling FAQs

Do I need a permit to renovate or build in Pittsburgh, PA?

Typically, yes. The Pittsburgh Planning and Zoning Department requires permits for any structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical changes. Evergreen manages all documentation and approvals, coordinating directly with local officials to ensure compliance and complete relevant inspections.

Do I need drawings to build my project in Pittsburgh, PA?

It depends on the project specifically, but often times, yes. Most home renovation projects require some level of drawings to ensure the project is properly planned, accurately estimated, and built. At Evergreen General Contracting, we provide the design services needed for your project - from simple floor plans to detailed construction documents and engineered drawings. The design process is tailored to the scope and complexity of each project.

What is the first step to starting a project in Pittsburgh?

The first step in any construction project is creating a clear plan. Before selecting materials or beginning construction, it's important to define your goals, understand how you want the space to function, and determine what level of drawings or planning your project requires. We are equipped to help you make these important planning decisions before your project even begins.
