Tear-down and rebuild in Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley

When the lot is right but the house isn't, Sudon Brothers can take down the existing home and build a new custom home on the same land, across Mahoning and Trumbull counties. The new home is designed with an architect we work with and overseen by Donald Sudon and Jim, both general contractors. Call 330.759.3776 to talk about your house.

Why rebuild on the same lot

Keep the location. Start fresh on the house.

Keep the neighborhood

Stay on the street, in the school district and near the people you already know.

Utilities often in place

Established lots often have utilities already at the street, though every lot is checked.

A home built for now

A new custom home designed around how you live, instead of working around an old layout.

Tear-down and rebuild: common questions

Can you tear down my house and build a new one on the same lot?
Yes. We build tear-down rebuilds, replacing an existing house with a new custom home on the same land. We start by checking zoning, setbacks and utilities for the lot, which are covered in our lot checklist.
When does a tear-down make more sense than a remodel?
Often when the location and lot are right but the house itself would need so much work that starting over gives a better result. We look at the house and the lot with you before recommending either path.
What approvals does a tear-down and rebuild need?
Taking down a house usually needs its own permit and the utilities disconnected first, and the new home then needs zoning approval, a residential building permit and sewer or septic approval like any new home. We check the requirements with the local building department for your address. See our permit guide.
