GSS757 is a family-owned, faith-driven home remodeling company serving homeowners across Norfolk, Virginia and the greater 757 area. Our husband-and-wife team brings 25 years of hands-on experience in Hampton Roads homes, and our work covers full remodeling projects along with the residential electrical services that go with them. Because our owners are an interior designer and a licensed master electrician, we handle both the design planning and the electrical work under the same roof. That structure means Norfolk homeowners get a single point of contact from the first consultation through the final walkthrough, along with fewer of the coordination gaps that come from stringing together separate contractors.
Our residential work covers kitchen and bathroom remodels, room additions and sunrooms, whole-home renovations, patios and porches, and the full range of interior and exterior lighting and electrical work. Every project starts with a free on-site estimate and direct communication throughout the build. We serve Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth, and the surrounding 757 communities.
Norfolk homes have their own character. Some are historic properties in Ghent and Colonial Place with plaster walls, hardwood floors, and electrical systems that have been updated in patches over the decades. Some are mid-century ranches in Ocean View and Lafayette-Winona that were built for a different lifestyle than the way modern families live. Some are newer builds in East Beach and along the waterfront that were designed with today’s expectations from the start. GSS757 has worked on all of these home types, and we bring that experience to every consultation.
GSS757 handles remodeling projects from the first planning meeting through the final walkthrough. Our team manages the design, the construction, and the electrical work as one coordinated project rather than a series of disconnected trades. Below are the residential remodeling services most requested by Norfolk homeowners.
Kitchen remodeling in Norfolk covers the full range of updates from cosmetic refreshes to full-scale renovations. GSS757 handles custom cabinetry, countertop selection and installation, kitchen islands, layout redesigns that open the kitchen to adjoining rooms, and lighting plans that layer ambient, task, and accent light. Because our team includes a licensed master electrician, the outlet placement, appliance circuits, and under-cabinet lighting all get planned and installed as part of the same project. We work on residential kitchens in Norfolk homes of every era, from Ghent bungalows to newer builds in East Beach and Ocean View.
Kitchen remodeling projects we handle include kitchen renovations, kitchen layout redesigns, cabinetry, countertops, kitchen islands, lighting, electrical upgrades, and functional kitchen design work. We approach each kitchen based on the way the family actually cooks and lives in the space, not a template pulled from a showroom. Restaurant and commercial kitchen work is available where applicable, though most of our kitchen remodeling in Norfolk is residential.
Bathroom remodeling in Norfolk ranges from vanity swaps to full bathroom rebuilds with new layouts. GSS757 handles walk-in shower construction, tub-to-shower conversions, vanity installation, fixture upgrades, tile work, lighting redesigns, and layout improvements that make small bathrooms feel much bigger. Accessibility features like curbless showers, grab-bar blocking, and comfort-height toilets can be built into any bathroom remodel from the start, which is far cheaper than adding them later.
Our bathroom remodels cover full renovations, walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, vanities, fixtures, lighting, layout improvements, and accessibility upgrades. Design and electrical planning happen at the same time, so the sconces, vent fans, and outlets end up exactly where they need to be.
Adding square footage to a Norfolk home is one of the bigger projects a homeowner takes on, and it involves more than just building on. GSS757 handles room additions, garage additions, sunrooms, and bump-outs that expand kitchens, bedrooms, or living rooms. Every addition has to match the existing home in terms of roofline, siding, foundation, and interior finish, and it has to tie into the existing electrical service and HVAC system. Our team plans the addition as an integrated part of the house, not a separate structure attached at the seam.
Additions we build include room additions, garage additions, sunrooms, bump-outs, and general expansions of existing living areas. The construction planning, design coordination, and electrical requirements all get handled by the same team from the first meeting through the final walkthrough.
Whole-home renovations bring the entire house up to a consistent design and functional level. GSS757 handles multi-room renovations, layout changes across the main floor, coordinated interior design across bedrooms and living spaces, coordinated electrical work, and finish selections that read as one design rather than a patchwork of separate projects. For some Norfolk homes, we phase the work over several months so the family can stay in the house through construction.
Whole-home projects we handle include multiple-room renovations, whole-house remodeling, layout changes, coordinated design work, coordinated electrical work, finish selection, and one project team from beginning to end. Phased remodeling is available for projects where the family stays on-site during construction.
Norfolk homeowners spend real time outside, and a well-built patio changes how the yard gets used. GSS757 builds custom patios in stamped concrete, pavers, and natural stone, all sized and finished to match the home. Outdoor lighting and exterior outlets get planned into the patio during construction so the finished space works for evening use, holiday gatherings, and outdoor cooking. Because Norfolk sits in a humid coastal environment, material selection matters more than in drier climates.
Patio projects we handle include custom patios, outdoor living space design, material selection for coastal conditions, integration with the existing home, and outdoor lighting and electrical integration during construction rather than as a separate service call later.
Porches on older Norfolk homes often show wood rot, deteriorated railings, sagging floors, and outdated finishes after years of coastal exposure. GSS757 rebuilds front porches and back porches, converts open porches to screened porches, closed-in porches for year-round use, and repairs the structural components that keep the porch safe. Outdoor lighting gets added during the remodel to make the porch usable at night.
Our porch work includes front porches, back porches, screened porches, porch enclosures, structural repairs, deteriorated component replacement, and outdoor lighting installation. Porch remodels on older homes usually involve some hidden condition work once the finishes come off, and our estimates account for that reality.
The electrical side of a remodel makes or breaks the finished result. GSS757 is unusual among remodeling companies in that our owner David is a licensed master electrician, so the electrical planning, permits, and installations happen inside our company rather than through a subcontractor. That structure gives Norfolk homeowners tighter coordination between the design decisions and the electrical work behind the walls.
GSS757 handles the full range of residential electrical services for Norfolk homes. Our work covers electrical repairs, new installations, remodeling-related electrical work, troubleshooting for issues that come up in older homes, and home improvement electrical projects of every size. Small repair or full rewire, everything gets pulled with proper permits and inspected as required by Norfolk building code.
Many Norfolk homes were built in eras when 100-amp electrical service was plenty for the appliances of the day. Modern kitchens, HVAC systems, home offices, and EV chargers now push those panels past what they can safely handle. GSS757 upgrades panels from 100 amps to 200 amps, replaces failing panels, installs sub-panels for additions and workshops, and converts old fuse-box systems to breaker panels. Panel work coordinates with Dominion Energy for the meter disconnect and reconnect.
Panel work we handle includes 100-amp to 200-amp upgrades, panel replacement, sub-panel installation, fuse-box-to-breaker conversion, capacity upgrades for increased electrical demand, remodeling-related panel work, and upgrades for older electrical systems that no longer meet the demands of a modern household.
Level 2 EV chargers need a dedicated 240-volt circuit and enough panel capacity to run safely. GSS757 handles the whole install including the load calculation, the panel assessment, any required panel upgrade, and the code-compliant circuit installation. We work with hardwired and plug-in chargers from all major brands and pull the required permits on every install.
EV charger services include Level 2 chargers, dedicated 240-volt circuit installation, panel capacity assessment, panel upgrades when required, residential EV charging support, and code-compliant installation from load calculation through final inspection.
Good lighting comes from layering ambient light, task light, and accent light rather than piling recessed cans across the ceiling. GSS757 installs recessed lighting, pendant fixtures, wall sconces, under-cabinet lighting, and smart lighting systems. Every install includes the right switching so rooms can be used at different brightness levels for different times of day. Lighting plans developed during a remodel produce far better results than lighting added as an afterthought.
Chandeliers have specific weight requirements that standard ceiling boxes cannot handle. GSS757 installs chandeliers in foyers, dining rooms, and along staircases, with proper mounting, structural bracing where required, and safe electrical connections. Two-story foyer installs involve scaffolding or lift access, which is planned before the fixture is ordered so the install day goes smoothly.
Older Norfolk homes sometimes have aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s and 70s, knob-and-tube in specific locations, damaged wiring from past renovations, and faulty connections at junction boxes. GSS757 handles wiring repairs, replacement work where actually needed, electrical troubleshooting for issues that show up as flickering lights or dead outlets, and repair of safety concerns identified during inspections. Any wiring repair that involves opening walls happens with proper permits and inspections.
The team at GSS757 has handled kitchens of every size and condition, from small galley layouts to full open-concept renovations. Every project gets the same attention to detail, regardless of budget. Materials are sourced for quality, and pricing is kept honest. There are no surprise markups or pushed upgrades. The design process starts with listening, not selling.

Reach out by phone at 757-581-3572 or through the contact form to describe the project and schedule an initial consultation. There is no obligation at this stage.
We meet at your Norfolk home to see the space, listen to what you want to change, and discuss the possibilities. This meeting usually runs 45 to 60 minutes.
We look at the existing structure, electrical system, and any conditions that will affect the scope of work. This is where we catch the surprises before they become mid-project problems.
We prepare a written estimate that lays out the specific work to be done, the materials to be used, and the cost of each element. The estimate becomes the basis of the contract if you decide to move forward.
Our interior designer works with you on layouts, material selections, finishes, and design details. Design decisions get made before construction starts to avoid change orders later.
The construction schedule and the electrical scope get planned together. Permit applications get filed at this stage so the paperwork is ready when construction begins.
Demolition and construction start on the agreed date. Work proceeds according to the schedule we set together during planning.
We stay in direct contact throughout construction, provide regular progress updates, and handle any issues as they come up rather than at the end of the project.
Once the work is complete, we walk through the project together to review everything, identify any small items that need attention, and confirm the finished work meets what was in the contract.

Norfolk sits at the heart of the Hampton Roads region, and remodeling homes here means working within a specific set of local realities. The city has housing stock ranging from historic homes in Ghent that date back over a century to newer construction in East Beach and along the water. Each era brings its own construction methods, materials, and details that a Norfolk remodeling contractor has to know how to handle.
The coastal environment in Hampton Roads adds requirements that inland contractors often miss. Salt air, humidity, and hurricane season all affect which materials work and which fail early in coastal Virginia. The 757 region as a whole has its own regulatory environment through Virginia state building requirements and the National Electrical Code, along with permitting rules specific to Norfolk’s Department of Development. GSS757 works within those requirements as a matter of routine rather than something to figure out on each project.
Beyond the technical realities, Norfolk has a specific rhythm as a community. The Navy affects daily life for a large share of the population, and PCS orders drive real timelines for remodels. Families that plan to sell before a move have different priorities than families settling into a long-term home, and both are different from landlords preparing a rental for the next tenant. GSS757 has worked with all three groups over the years and knows how to plan a remodel around the specific goals of each. That kind of local awareness matters as much as the construction skills that go into the actual work.
GSS757 is a family-owned home remodeling contractor serving Norfolk, Virginia and the greater 757 area. We handle kitchen and bathroom remodels, home additions, whole-home renovations, patios and porches, and the residential electrical work that goes with all of it. Every project starts with a free on-site estimate and direct communication from consultation through final walkthrough.
