Many homes in Virginia-Highland were originally built with compact layouts and limited square footage. As families grow or needs change, moving is not always the preferred option. A well-designed home addition allows you to stay in the neighborhood you love while gaining the space and functionality your home may currently lack.
Adding onto a bungalow or historic home requires thoughtful structural planning, zoning awareness, and attention to architectural detail. Intown Renovations Group helps homeowners evaluate whether to build up, build out, or reconfigure existing space, ensuring that every addition feels balanced, properly scaled, and seamlessly integrated with the original structure.

Every family’s needs are different, especially in Virginia-Highland, where lot sizes and home layouts vary. These are some of the most common additions homeowners trust Intown Renovations Group to design and build:
Double your living space without expanding your footprint. Ideal for growing families who need additional bedrooms and bathrooms while preserving yard space.
Create a private retreat featuring a spacious bedroom, spa-inspired bathroom, and walk-in closet designed for comfort and privacy.

Add the gathering space your home may be missing. These additions create open, functional areas ideal for everyday living and entertaining.

Bright, inviting spaces that connect indoor and outdoor living while adding year-round usability to your home.

They have done extensive work on our home twice from a full rehab to a major repair that was due to a tree falling on the house. The team was able to complete the most recent job ahead of schedule and slightly under budget. The quality of their work is also strong and I was impressed with their tradesmen.Posted on Korey AlburyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You can stop your search - Intown Renovations Group delivered a beautiful product. The basement blends seamlessly with the rest of our home. Importantly, they were professional and very communicative. We are grateful that we used them for our basement.Posted on Brian KnottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did a basement renovation with IRG and we’re 100% satisfied with the work done. Our job cost was managed expertly and they finished a multi month renovation on time and beautifully. There were multiple times when the project team offered suggestions that we implemented to get better use of the space than outlined in our original drawings and communication was excellent throughout. We’d highly reccomend.Posted on Rocío RodríguezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From my first phone call to discuss my bathroom project to the end, Intown Renovations has been excellent. They were on the ball from day one. My bathroom was to take between 4 to 6 weeks and they finished the job at 4 weeks. Everything was organized from the scheduling, the payment plan, to the work itself. Their work crews are highly respectful, professional and efficient. They took great care to clean up after themselves after each day. If something came up Alicia Wright handled all our requests immediately. Our project manager Heberto could not have been nicer, a pleasure to work with and did and excellent, beautiful job on our bathroom. Should I proceed with my 2nd bathroom renovation they will be my only call and I look forward to having them here again. Great job!!!Posted on Robert SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our kitchen remodel could not have gone better. The people working on our home were very professional and were very good with our animals. The job was completed in a timely manner and the work was top notch, especially the cabinetry. We won't be shopping around for our next project. They will be our go to builder.Posted on Terri HitzigTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were easy to work with, and they made my dream kitchen come true. I love baking in my newly renovated kitchen.Posted on HelenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We would give IRG a 10-star rating if we could! We have completed 2 major renovations to our home during the last 35 years and our recent very successful master bath/bedroom renovation by IRG was the least stressful by far. From our first phone conversation with Barry to our final walk through with Alicia and Heberto, we were impressed with the professionalism and care exhibited by everyone associated with this company as they completed our renovation on time and on budget. We began our project with a detailed cost estimate and Alicia skillfully managed our project by providing weekly work schedules in advance and weekly or bi-weekly payment spread sheets. She also kept the project moving by informing me of all materials and items I needed to provide to the subs to keep the job running smoothly. She was always available by phone, text or email with prompt replies about any concerns or issues that arose. She gave great advice helping to resolve construction and design issues ( which can always be tricky when renovating older homes). All the subcontractors were friendly, skilled and professional. We are very happy with the quality of their work. And a special thank you to Heberto who managed our job on a day to day basis. From carefully protecting the part of our home that was not being renovated from dust and disturbance to painting and finishing up the many finer details of our job, he left no concern unaddressed and no issue or problem unresolved. Thank you to everyone at IRG!!
