Home Renovation & Remodeling in Hixson, TN
Hixson is one of Chattanooga's most family-friendly suburbs, sitting just north of downtown with easy access via Highway 153 and Hixson Pike. The area is known for its mature neighborhoods, top-rated schools, and a housing stock that blends classic ranch-style homes built from the 1960s through the 1980s with newer construction in subdivisions along Middle Valley and Big Ridge. That mix makes Hixson one of our busiest service areas — every decade of home has different needs, and we've worked on all of them.

The classic Hixson ranch remodel
Ranch homes dominate the Hixson landscape, and the most common project we see is opening up the closed-off kitchen into the living area. These homes were built for a different era of family life, with walled-off kitchens that no longer match how people actually use their homes. We assess whether the dividing wall is load-bearing, engineer a proper beam if needed, and create an open-concept layout that turns the kitchen into the center of daily life. Most Hixson ranch owners pair this with new LVP or hardwood flooring to replace decades-old carpet, a full kitchen cabinet replacement or refacing job, and updated lighting that finally matches the new flow of the space.
Kitchen and bathroom modernization
Beyond the layout change, Hixson kitchens and bathrooms are ripe for full modernization. Original bathrooms in 1970s and 1980s ranches still have fiberglass tub-shower combos, builder-grade vanities, and tired tile that dates the whole home. We replace them with walk-in tiled showers, quartz-topped vanities, and modern fixtures that feel like a completely different space. In kitchens, we move beyond basic cabinet swaps and handle the full package: new cabinets, quartz or granite countertops, subway or statement backsplashes, under-cabinet lighting, and hardware that pulls the look together.
Popular upgrades for Hixson homes
Homeowners in Hixson consistently ask for a few specific upgrades that make a big difference. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and site-finished hardwood are the top flooring choices — both stand up to kids and pets better than the old carpet they replace. Kitchen cabinet refacing is popular for budget-conscious updates, while full cabinet replacement with semi-custom shaker boxes is the choice when the existing layout works but the boxes are falling apart. Garage conversions are another growing trend in Hixson, turning underused two-car garages into home offices, gyms, or guest suites with proper insulation, HVAC extension, and finished floors.
Growing families and room additions
Hixson attracts young families who outgrow their square footage, and room additions are a natural next step after the interior finishes are handled. We build bonus room build-outs above existing garages, rear bump-out additions for expanded kitchens or primary suites, and detached studios for multi-generational living. Because Hixson lots are typically generous, setbacks and parking are rarely an issue, and we handle the permitting with Hamilton County or the City of Chattanooga depending on the exact address. If you're in a Hixson ranch or split-level and wondering what's possible, the short answer is: more than you think.
