Whole-House Renovations
When a home needs more than a single update, we plan the layout, systems and finishes together as one project, so the finished house works as a whole.

Fredericksburg pulls people in with its brick sidewalks, its history and its spot on the Rappahannock River. Plenty of families want to live close to all of it, either in a home they already love or in a new one built on land just outside the city. Spartan Homes does both kinds of work, and our office on Fenton Road in Spotsylvania keeps us close at hand.
If you have found acreage in the Fredericksburg area and want a house designed around it, we build custom homes from the ground up. If you own a home in or near the city and want more space, a better kitchen or a full renovation, our remodeling team can take that on. Either way, you work with one local builder from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.
Talk With Our Team

Most of the custom homes we build for Fredericksburg families go up on land in the surrounding countryside, where there is space for a bigger lot, a long driveway and a yard the kids can run in. Each piece of land is different, so we start by looking at yours with you. We talk about where the house should face, how the driveway will come in and, on rural land, where the well and septic system can go.
Once we know what the land allows, you can pick a Don Gardner, Frank Betz or Lifestyle Series plan, tailor one to your family, or design something fully custom with our design/build team. Spartan Standard mid-grade features come included, so the finishes most people want are already in the price. Every home is turn-key with no hidden fees, so the basic requirements for completing your home are part of the price from the start.
Our Spotsylvania office keeps us near Fredericksburg, so we can be on your site often and meet with you when it suits you.
Owner Eric Henry is an Army veteran who served as an Apache crew chief in Desert Storm. He runs every project with the same care and follow-through.

Our team brings 45 years of combined experience in home building to each Fredericksburg-area home we build or remodel.
Fredericksburg has a wide mix of homes, from older houses near downtown to newer neighborhoods on the edges of the city. Many owners would rather improve the home they have than give up a location they love. We remodel with the same crews and standards we use on our new homes, and you get a clear scope and price before any work begins. We keep the job site tidy and talk with you along the way, because you may be living in the house while we work.

Learn more →Fredericksburg was founded in 1728 and named for Frederick, Prince of Wales. It sits on the Rappahannock River at the fall line, with Spotsylvania County to the south and west and Stafford County across the river to the north. Its downtown is the heart of a 40-block historic district with more than 350 buildings and sites from the 18th and 19th centuries.
History is part of daily life here. Residents can walk to the Mary Washington House, the James Monroe Museum and Memorial Library, and Kenmore, the home of George Washington's sister. Chatham Manor looks over the city from across the river, and the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park preserves ground from the Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862. The University of Mary Washington gives the city a college-town feel, and Virginia Railway Express commuter trains link the city with Washington, D.C.
For people who want a new custom home, that mix is the appeal: city life, history and the river close by, with open land in the surrounding area for a house built just the way you want. For owners in town, remodeling is often a great fit. You keep the address and the neighbors, and the home finally fits the way you live.

We talk through your goals, budget and timing, then visit your land or your current home together.
