Design-build remodels that rework everyday function
About
Gilbert Construction Co., Inc. has been a residential design-build general contractor in Dothan since 2007. Owner Chris Gilbert leads the Eastridge Drive firm with a focus on remodels that add function and comfort to the way a family actually uses its home.
Kitchens and bathrooms get particular attention. Layouts are mapped against how people cook, store, clean, and move through the space, and installation is planned in detail before crews arrive on site. Whole-home remodels and additions follow the same workflow, with materials and finishes selected alongside the homeowner.
The firm also handles insurance restoration work for homeowners after fire, water, or storm damage, applying the same design-build process to bring damaged spaces back online.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does design-build mean at Gilbert Construction?
Design-build at Gilbert Construction means Chris Gilbert handles both the design and the construction of a remodel under one contract instead of asking the homeowner to hire an architect separately. That single point of accountability is the model the firm has used since 2007. Layouts, material choices, and installation plans are worked out together so what gets drawn matches what the crew will actually build, which reduces change orders during construction.
Does Gilbert Construction do new construction or just remodels?
Gilbert Construction focuses on residential remodels rather than ground-up new homes. The firm's core offering is whole-home remodels, kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, and additions, with insurance restoration as a related line. The deep specialization in remodels is intentional. Working in occupied or partially occupied homes requires a different planning rhythm than a new build, and Gilbert has built its design-build process around that reality since 2007.
Will Chris Gilbert help me pick layouts and materials?
Yes, Gilbert Construction provides layout and materials guidance as a built-in part of its design-build process. Chris Gilbert and the team walk homeowners through how a kitchen or bath should function before settling final dimensions, then move into finish selection. That early collaboration is why the firm pitches remodels as projects that add function and comfort to everyday living rather than just cosmetic upgrades, and it is reflected in how kitchens are zoned and baths are detailed.
Do you take on insurance restoration projects?
Yes, Gilbert Construction handles insurance restoration alongside its remodeling work. Homeowners dealing with fire, water, or storm damage can use the same design-build team that handles voluntary remodels, which keeps scope, drawings, and construction under one roof. The Eastridge Drive office coordinates with adjusters and homeowners to translate damage scopes into buildable plans, particularly when the rebuild also presents an opportunity to update layouts.
Where is Gilbert Construction located?
Gilbert Construction Co., Inc. operates from 117 Eastridge Dr in Dothan, Alabama, ZIP 36301. The Eastridge Drive office serves as the design and project management base for residential design-build work across the Wiregrass. Owner Chris Gilbert has run the company from this base since founding it in 2007, and most projects are within the broader Dothan area where the team can manage daily site visits during active construction.
How long has Gilbert Construction been remodeling homes?
Gilbert Construction has been operating since 2007, giving the firm roughly 19 years of residential design-build experience in the Dothan market. Over that span Chris Gilbert has refined a workflow that puts layout planning ahead of demolition, particularly on kitchen and bathroom projects where careful pre-construction planning saves time and rework once cabinets, plumbing, and tile are being installed in tight spaces.
