Hodges Home Improvement

What Hodges Home Improvement does

Hodge Design & Remodeling is a family-owned design + build remodeling firm headquartered in Watkinsville, Georgia, serving residential and commercial clients in Athens-Clarke and Oconee Counties. Founded in 1996 by Larry Hodge as Larry Hodge Construction and rebranded under its current name in 2006, the firm operates with a small team of approximately seven employees and an owner-led sales model in which the principal, Amanda Hodge, is personally involved from initial inquiry through project completion. The firm delivers project-based services across six core verticals: kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, home additions, exterior projects (porches, decks, garages, pool houses), custom residential elevator design and installation, and commercial remodeling. Specialized elevator work (multiple cab/drive configurations up to 1,000 lb capacity) is a differentiator relative to typical small design-build peers.

The business model is straightforward project-based services: each engagement is scoped and priced individually, with no subscription or recurring revenue streams, no tiered pricing, and no published rates. Lead generation runs through phone inquiries, project-specific web forms (Residential, Commercial, Kitchen, Bathroom, Elevator), Instagram, NARI/NAHB/HOUZZ trust signals, and word-of-mouth referrals. The firm holds multiple NARI certifications (Certified Remodeler, Certified Remodeling Project Manager, Certified Kitchen and Bath Remodeler, Certified Kitchen Remodeler), HOUZZ Recommended status, NAHB and Athens Area Home Builders memberships, and a two-year warranty on work performed. Ownership transitioned from Larry Hodge to his daughter Amanda Hodge in 2023 after a multi-year handover; Anna Edenfield Hodge (also owner) operates as Business Development Manager, and Mitchell Whitehead now serves as Estimator after training under the founder. The firm has no external funding, no patents, no AI/ML capabilities, and operates exclusively within a two-county regional service area.
