Inspired Home Renovations.
Designed For and By You.
Our Chapel Hill home renovations are rooted in a careful understanding of how you would like to transform your existing home, detailed planning with a high level of organization, and outstanding craftsmanship. At
Zinn Design Build, we specialize in thoughtful renovations that improve layout, livability, and long-term value. We’ve done it for so many years (since 1978) that we’re really good at it—without overcomplicating the process.
Grounded in Clarity, Craftsmanship, and Disciplined Execution.
Most of our projects are fixed price. That means that we have created, with
Carol Ann’s guidance and supervision, highly detailed documents with all decisions made up front.
We use these documents to price and to build your project, and when you sign a contract to build, there
is no mystery about what your final cost number will be.
