🀄️ ICON was proud to sponsor “Bam Dot Crackle Give Back” event earlier this month!

Our very own Katherine served on the event committee. That stunning backdrop? All her.

Together, the team surpassed their fundraising goal, topping last year’s total!

We love supporting our local community, and events like this remind us exactly why Winston-Salem is such a special place to call home.

✨Sometimes spaces don’t need drastic changes — they just need a little TLC. That’s exactly what we did in the butler’s pantry of our Blue Ridge Mountain project, a 6,000 sq. ft. gut renovation of a home over 100 years old.

Butler Pantry Updates 👇

~ Restored original cabinets
~ Replaced the sink with a new one
~ Extended and matched countertops to the existing ones
~ Added an ice maker
~ Replaced tile floors with hardwood to match the rest of the home

Project check-in: We’re thrilled to be back at this repeat client’s home! Two bathroom updates are currently in progress—a guest bath and a main floor powder room.

Tile and paint are complete, with countertops scheduled for installation next week.

Wasted square footage is one of the most common pain points we hear from homeowners. You have the space — it’s just not working for you.

These homeowners came to us with exactly that problem. Their 1960s home had a sunroom that felt completely cut off from the rest of the living space. To transform it into something truly functional, our team is...

~ Fully enclosing the space for year-round use — swapping the wrap-around sliding glass doors for traditional windows
~ Opening a wall to create clear sight lines into the den
~ Raising the floor to match the rest of the first level
~ Adding a large sliding door leading out to a brand new patio

✔️Continuous learning is part of our culture. Last week, our team visited our New Sherwood build for a “field trip.” They walked the site, discussed safety, best practices, and observed the quality craftsmanship of the trades helping bring this project to life.

We wrapped it up the right way: lunch on the job site!

When you work with ICON, you can trust that our team is constantly evolving by staying current with best practices and learning from one another to deliver the best possible results for you.
