PHILOSOPHY
WEAVERCOOKE sees the value and necessity of rehabilitating existing
multi-family communities, both affordable and market rate. Through life
cycle evaluations, it is common for existing apartment communities to
modernize and repair the normal wear and tear in addition to updating
for building code compliance and safety. These accommodations greatly
improve the quality of life for residents and extend the useful life of the
community
WEAVERCOOKE understands that renovating communities often
involves relocating residents, which is costly and disruptive. Our
experience will help to minimize the disruption and manage
expectations. Based on the condition of the community and the scope of
renovation we can help determine if your project would be a good
candidate for an in-place renovation, where resident relocation might
not be required or might be limited to specific tasks. Once we determine
the best approach, WEAVERCOOKE will employ Lean Construction
principles in concert with our Rapid Rehab process to meet strict
deadlines and execute work quickly and efficiently.
OUR EXPERIENCE
WEAVERCOOKE has the experience to help any
community meet their renovation goals. We have a
track record of successfully renovating thousands of
multi-family residences in North Carolina and
throughout the Southeast. The communities we have
renovated range in size from under 20 units to over
600. WEAVERCOOKE not only provides renovations to
market rate apartments, we also have experience
renovating affordable housing. We understand the
requirements and nuances involved with renovations
to affordable housing communities. We also have
strong relationships with trade contractors throughout
the Southeast who specialize in apartment renovations.

Mountain Vew Apartments
Apartment Renovations in Canton, NC
Our scope of work at Mountain View included renovations and various updates to the
electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems which included replacing show units. The
interior finishes of the units were given new life with fresh paint, doors, and new flooring.
The ADA accessible units were brought up to current code, which included moving walls
and increasing the size of bathrooms. Renovations to the exterior and infrastructure
included: replacing the roofing and the decks, select asphalt paving and concrete
replacement, and the addition of a new playground. The improvements made in almost
all non-ADA units were accomplished while occupied. WEAVERCOOKE implemented
our Rapid Rehab system to complete each unit within two weeks. Residents vacated their
units during work hours, but were able to return in the evenings.
Aldersgate Phase I & II
Apartment Renovations in Greensboro, NC
Aldersgate was constructed by WEAVERCOOKE almost forty years ago and
has since provided affordable housing to seniors in the Greensboro area. We
returned in 2017 to provide renovations to the apartment interiors and
amenity areas. Extensive renovations were done in four apartments to make
them fully ADA compliant. Accessibility upgrades, as well as new finishes,
were provided in the community building, including office space, a new
community room with fireplace, bathrooms, and a kitchen. All units, except
for the handicapped units, were occupied throughout construction.
Sir Walter Apartments
Apartment Renovations in Raleigh, NC
The Historic Sir Walter Building in downtown Raleigh was originally constructed as a
hotel in 1924 and was later converted into affordable housing for seniors in the
1970’s. WEAVERCOOKE provided renovations to 140 existing apartments in
addition to converting the penthouse on the tenth floor, which consisted of
abandoned ballroom and kitchen space, into seventeen additional affordable units.
WEAVERCOOKE provided considerable upgrades to the building’s mechanical,
electric, and plumbing, fire alarm, and sprinkler systems. The historic elevators were
refinished and brought up to code. The common amenity areas throughout were also
given updates, including office space, gym areas, and the grand mezzanine entrance.
WEAVERCOOKE construction is a leading general contractor across North Carolina, providing quality multi-family construction, senior-
living construction, and affordable housing construction in Greensboro, Durham, Charlotte and Asheville and throughout the Southeast.
