Blacksburg and the New River ValleyBlacksburg
Renovations & Dependable Building is a small, locally owned design-build company led by Joey Ritenour. It takes a limited number of projects at a time and gives you a fixed price and defined scope before construction starts.
Renovations & Dependable Building, also known as RenoDB, handles bathroom remodeling Blacksburg VA homeowners plan for, plus kitchens, basements and other spaces across the New River Valley. It is intentionally small.
The company limits how many projects it runs at once, so Joey stays involved from planning and selections through the final walkthrough.
Bathrooms are the heart of the work: guest baths, primary suites and tubs swapped for walk-in showers in Blacksburg, Christiansburg and Riner. Prices are posted online from recent local jobs, and once the design is set you get a fixed price and a defined scope. Reviewers mention prompt replies, crews that show up when scheduled and a tidy job site.
Guest baths, primary suites and full layout changes, from tile, cabinetry and lighting to waterproofing and shower glass. Licensed plumbers and electricians join when required. Posted starting prices: $12,500 for a small bath, $24,000 for a mid-size bath and $46,000 for a large primary suite.
Layout planning, cabinetry, countertops, tile, lighting and appliance installation, managed as one plan with trusted local trade partners. Kitchens start at $55,000 for a small space, $85,000 for a mid-size kitchen with an island, and $125,000 for a large kitchen.
Features that keep a home easy to use for years, built into projects you already want: walk-in showers with benches and grab bars, wider walkways and better lighting. In Pembroke, a new two-level deck was built with an accessible ramp alongside a kitchen remodel.
Unfinished or underused basements turned into guest areas, home offices, recreation rooms or a bar. The space is planned to feel connected to the rest of the house, and recent work includes a basement craft and hobby room in Radford.
Covered outdoor rooms with screened openings and flexible windows that stretch the outdoor season. In Blacksburg, an underused space beneath a deck became a quiet retreat with warm pine finishes, flexible windows and peaceful garden views.
The pricing guide lists starting costs for small, mid-size and large bathrooms and kitchens, based on recent jobs in the area. After design, you get a fixed price and a defined scope.
RenoDB works with the same vetted plumbers, electricians, tile setters and cabinet specialists project after project, and you deal with one person who coordinates them all.
Drop cloths, shoe covers and daily clean-ups are standard. One Google reviewer said the crews showed up when scheduled and the project area was kept very neat and tidy.

Yes. Layouts, materials and finishes are settled during design, before construction begins. With that detailed plan in place, RenoDB gives you a fixed price and a defined scope of work. If you have a firm budget, share it up front so the team can suggest options that fit it.
Yes. Replacing an outdated tub with a walk-in shower is one of the bathroom projects RenoDB lists. In the Wyatt Farms bathroom in Blacksburg, an unused soaking tub made way for a spacious walk-in shower with Blue Onyx accent tile, a coordinating blue vanity and custom rolling glass.
