Second-Story Additions on Richmond Homes

Adding a second floor to a single-story Richmond home requires a structural assessment, careful framing, and design that respects the original architecture. Every brick, roofline, and trim profile is matched to the existing house.

Matched Materials, Engineered to Code

Richmond's historic brick, mid-century siding, and modern infill all require different framing and finish strategies. Every addition is reviewed by a licensed structural engineer and permitted in Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, or Goochland.

We are delighted with the addition that Vivo Contracting built for our family! Vivo transformed our mid-century brick split-level into our Tudor home. The entire Vivo team is very hardworking. They were also extremely punctual.

Full Renovations of Historic Richmond Homes

Renovating an older Richmond home means working around knob-and-tube wiring, balloon framing, and plaster walls. Our crew has opened up enough Richmond homes built before 1940 to know exactly what to expect behind every wall.

We had an outstanding experience working with VIVO. Every detail of our vision was brought to life exactly as we had hoped, if not better. If you are looking for a contractor who is fast, skilled, collaborative, and genuinely enjoyable to work with, I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Open Concept Kitchen Remodels

Most Richmond kitchens were built when families ate in separate rooms. We open up walls safely, rework the entire footprint, and design the kitchen to flow into how the family actually lives today.

We had an outstanding experience working with Vivo (Elmer and Victor) on our full kitchen renovation. From start to finish, they were honest, thorough, and incredibly communicative. Any time there was a misunderstanding or miscommunication, the team handled it directly and made it right.

The service, attention to detail, and steadfast commitment to delivering high quality work from start to finish. We took two upstairs bathrooms to the studs and rebuilt with custom materials, much of which was very fragile and required a finer touch. VIVO manages their team well and is incredibly prompt. Highly recommend meeting with VIVO to plan your next project.
