Your Home.
Built Right.
Whether you're building from the ground up, adding on, or transforming what you've got — Rigel Builders delivers residential construction with the craftsmanship and communication your home deserves.
This Is the Biggest
Investment You'll Make
Your home isn't a line item — it's where your family lives. The contractor you choose determines whether that investment is protected or put at risk. Bad communication, missed details, and cut corners don't just cost money. They cost sleep.
Rigel Builders runs every residential project with the same discipline we bring to commercial and government work — documented scopes, regular updates, quality checkpoints, and a process designed to eliminate the surprises that make homeowners dread construction.
Think of us like a general contractor who operates like a project manager. You always know where things stand, what's coming next, and what it costs.
What We Build
From foundation to finish — here's the full range of residential work Rigel handles.
Custom Home Builds
Ground-up construction from site prep through final landscaping. Your floor plan, your finishes, your vision — built on schedule and on budget.
Kitchen & Bath Remodels
Full gut-and-rebuild or targeted upgrades — custom cabinetry, countertops, tile, plumbing, electrical, and finishes that transform the most-used rooms in your home.
Additions & Expansions
Room additions, second stories, garage conversions, and sunrooms — structurally integrated with your existing home so the new space feels like it was always there.
Whole-Home Renovations
Full interior or exterior overhauls — structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, finishes, and everything between. One contractor, one timeline, one point of contact.
Storm Damage Restoration
Tornado, wind, hail, and water damage repair — from emergency tarping through full interior and exterior restoration. Insurance documentation included.
Outdoor Living & Structures
Decks, patios, covered porches, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens — designed for Tennessee and Kentucky weather and built to last beyond the warranty.
Permits to Punch List
Every residential project comes with full-service management. Here's what you don't have to worry about.
Permit Management
Applications, plan submissions, inspection scheduling, and code compliance — handled end to end so you never visit the building department.
Design Coordination
We work with your architect or designer (or recommend one) and translate the vision into a buildable, priceable scope of work.
Subcontractor Management
Electricians, plumbers, HVAC, tile, paint, flooring — we hire, schedule, inspect, and hold accountable every trade that touches your home.
Material Selection Support
Guidance on finishes, fixtures, and materials — with pricing implications, lead times, and durability considerations so you make informed choices.
Weekly Progress Updates
Photo documentation and written summaries every week. You always know what happened, what's next, and whether we're tracking to schedule.
Final Walkthrough & Warranty
Punchlist completion, warranty documentation, and a final walk where we don't hand over the keys until you're completely satisfied.
Zero Surprises.
That's the Standard.
Three commitments we make on every residential project — and three reasons our referral rate sits at 95%.
Honest Pricing
Fixed-price proposals with detailed line items. No allowances that balloon, no vague "plus materials" language. You know the number before we start — and that's the number you pay.
Clear Communication
One project manager who answers the phone. Weekly updates with photos. No chasing people, no wondering what's happening inside your walls. If something changes, you hear it from us first.
Workmanship Guarantee
30-day unconditional warranty on all work. If something isn't right after we leave, we come back and fix it — no invoices, no arguments, no fine print. Your satisfaction is the final inspection.
