Our Service Areas in Delaware

If you live anywhere in Delaware, yes. Our crews cover the full state, from northern New Castle County down to the southern border in Sussex. We regularly schedule on-site walkthroughs to inspect your space, discuss your layout goals, take precise measurements, and evaluate structural details like load-bearing walls or existing mechanical lines.

We work throughout New Castle County, Kent County, and Sussex County. That includes major towns like Wilmington, Newark, Dover, Middletown, Lewes, and Rehoboth Beach, along with smaller rural communities. Because we know the permitting requirements across all three counties, we handle the paperwork for you so the job proceeds without regulatory delays.

Every project depends on scope and custom ordering timelines. A hall bathroom overhaul usually takes two to three weeks once materials are on site. A complete kitchen renovation or a full basement finishing job generally lands between four to eight weeks. If custom cabinetry or special-order tile is involved, lead times can stretch, but we spell out realistic start and finish dates before demolition starts.

Yes. Zavala & Sons carries full general contractor licensing and liability insurance to operate legally in Delaware. We carry proper coverage for our crew and your property. Every trade modification—plumbing, electrical work, and structural changes—is completed to current building codes.

We work with solid wood cabinet lines using plywood box construction rather than particle board, quartz and granite slabs, porcelain and ceramic tile, and moisture-resistant flooring options like luxury vinyl plank. During initial planning, we guide you toward materials that handle heavy foot traffic, humidity, and spills without needing high-maintenance refinishing every few years.

We calculate estimates based on square footage, labor, structural work, fixture selections, and trade work like running new electrical lines or moving plumbing stacks. Everything is laid out in a detailed, written proposal before work starts. If opening up a wall reveals rotted subflooring or outdated wiring, we discuss the cost options with you directly before moving forward.

Yes. Many homeowners know what they dislike about their current layout but aren’t sure how to fix it. We review your existing footprint to see if removing a partition wall, relocating appliances, or changing door openings will give you better traffic flow and more functional storage.

Clear out all personal belongings, dishware, and wall decor from the room being renovated and the primary hallway our crew will use. If we are remodeling your main kitchen or only full bath, set up a makeshift kitchen area or plan temporary bathroom arrangements before demo begins. We handle the floor masking and plastic dust walls, but clearing the area helps us start tearing out old fixtures right away on day one.
