Homewood’s bungalows, cottages and Tudors are worth updating the right way. We handle remodels and additions, plus the drainage and concrete work that small, established lots often need.
Neighborhoods like Edgewood, Hollywood, Rosedale and West Homewood are full of homes built in the early and mid-1900s. Owners love the character but want kitchens that work, bathrooms that aren’t original, and more room for a growing family. That usually means working within tight lot lines, older framing and systems, and setbacks for any addition.
Homewood also sits along Shades Creek, and low spots in parts of town can hold water after a heavy rain. When a remodel or addition goes in, we look at grading and drainage too, so your new space isn’t fighting the same water problems as the old one.
Common projects we take on in Homewood:
Kitchens, baths, additions and whole-home renovations for Homewood's classic homes.
Fixes for standing water, wet crawl spaces and yards that never seem to dry out.
Driveways, walkways, steps and patios sized for tight Homewood lots.
Selective interior demo for remodels and full tear-downs for rebuilds.
Walls that level backyards and hold back the sloped sections of a lot.
Foundation excavation and site prep for additions and new builds.
Our owner is an engineer with 22+ years in the field, so every project is planned for structural integrity, durability, and efficiency.
Excavation, grading, drainage, concrete and remodeling under one licensed general contractor, so nothing falls between separate companies.
Clear, consistent communication from first call to final walkthrough, and every call returned within two business days.
We serve customers in both English and Spanish, so everyone feels confident and understood throughout the project.
Don’t see your question here? Give us a call and we’ll talk through your project.
Often, yes. Depending on setbacks and the home’s layout, a rear addition or a second story may be possible. We’ll look at the site and the structure and give you honest options.
With older homes we expect it and plan for it. We build a realistic scope up front, and as a licensed general contractor we coordinate the fixes for framing, plumbing or electrical issues rather than leaving you to find someone else. See our home remodeling services.
Yes. Grading and drainage is one of our core services. We find where the water is coming from and design a fix, from regrading to French drains.
Yes. We’ll look at your project and give you a clear, honest estimate with no pressure. Call (205) 305-4282 or send us a message.

If we could give these guys 100 stars we would. We entrusted Solid Foundation Construction with a $100,000 project, and they exceeded our expectations. This project was for ministry purposes. Therefore, it was important for us to be good stewards over the entire project. What impressed us most was that they stayed on budget and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. There were no surprises, and they honored their commitments. We also appreciated their Christian values, which were evident in the way they conducted business—with integrity, respect, and genuine care for us as clients. From beginning to end, they were professional, honest, and delivered outstanding craftsmanship. Josh and his entire team were excellent to work with. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and made what could have been a stressful project a great experience. If you're looking for a contractor you can trust with a significant investment, I highly recommend Solid Foundation LLC. Their quality, character, and professionalism set them apart.Posted on Google![]()

Solid foundation is more than a business. From day one, you will be able to observe this an extension of their life work- to be a blessing to all those they serve. The attention to detail and customer service go far beyond whatever I have ever experienced. I am beyond blessed to have done business with them and have received more than what they got from me. Beyond grateful and glad they do business in Birmingham.Posted on Google![]()

After major water damage in my condo, Solid Foundations came in and absolutely saved the day. Their team was incredibly professional, always on time, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations and my place looks even better than it did before the damage! I couldn’t recommend their services more. If you need a contractor you can truly trust, Solid Foundations is the onePosted on Google![]()
