Transforming your most important spaces for your most important moments for over 30 years.
We’ve been Richmond’s favorite remodeling contractor since 1987. What sets apart is our creativity, our dedication to the highest standards, and the value we place on relationships. We are a premier Design Build, Class “A” Building Contractor located in Western Henrico, Virginia.
Our community is built together. We take our part in that very seriously. We are committed to making homes more beautiful, functional, and valuable – also to giving back, we’ve been a part of Project Homes and ReBuilding Together for years.
We’re not satisfied with just doing the work. We want to actively build transparency and trust. We seek to help you understand the renovation process and your role in that process. It’s your dream, we just bring it to life. We’re partners in this project.
The end of your project is just the beginning of our friendship.

Testimonials
From the first visit with Kyle, he listens to your ideas and takes them very seriously. You immediately feel comfortable with him. He then seems to somehow know and can visualize and translate your wishes and your feelings into concrete drawings and materials. I have hired him four times now for that very reason.
Bob M.
I have used BK Martin on three major home-improvement projects and several smaller projects on two different houses, and have been very satisfied on each occasion. Kyle Martin and his staff keep on schedule, keep the job-site clean, promptly answer questions and address concerns, and are mindful of doing the job in the most efficient and economical manner while still providing a quality product.
Miles D.
It was my first time selecting a conctractor and I could tell early in our meeting that BK Martin was very knowledgeable of my 1953 home and understood my vision for remodeling. After our first project it wasn’t hard for me to decide to stay with BK Martin Construction for my next two projects and I’m glad I did. I was so pleased that they completed in the timeframe and cost quoted. I love how my home looks and feels, and enjoy inviting friends and family over to brag and tell them what a great experience it was.

BK Martin has renovated one home for us in the museum district and one in the fan. Great work with trustworthy employees. The renovations included 2 dream kitchens and a beautiful screened in porch. Their design work and creativity made our ideas come to life.

Hi BK Martin Team!
I wanted to drop y’all a line or 2 to thank you sincerely for the effort that was put into remedying the rot in the back wall of my living room! It was done beautifully, and seems to be secure from rain-incursion. I couldn’t be happier!
