Remodeling and building in Cave Springs
Cave Springs, incorporated in 1910, is named for the cave and spring at the center of town, which puts out about six million gallons of water a day and is home to the largest known population of the threatened Ozark cavefish. About 6,300 people lived here in the Census Bureau’s 2024 estimate, and its schools are part of the Bentonville School District.
It’s also one of the priciest markets in NWA: the average Cave Springs home sold for about $707,000 in the second half of 2025, per the Skyline Report, higher than any other city we serve. At that level, owners usually remodel for the long term, so the details that don’t show (waterproofing, framing, venting) matter as much as the finishes.
Permits in Cave Springs
Cave Springs’ Building Department, at City Hall on North Main Street, enforces the state codes and issues building and sub-contractor permits through an online portal. Its residential application requires building plans showing doors, window sizes, smoke detectors, room designations and utility setbacks, and inspections must be scheduled 24 hours ahead.

Arkansas also requires a state contractor license for residential building, remodeling and home-improvement work over $2,000. We handle the permits, schedule the inspections and meet the inspector, so you don’t have to deal with the city yourself.
Custom homes and remodeling in Cave Springs
Cave Springs is one of the newest housing markets we work in. In the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (2020–2024), the median Cave Springs home was built in 2012, and about 64% of homes went up in 2010 or later. About 93% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
New houses and the highest average sale price in our area mean most projects here are one of two kinds. Some owners build: a custom home on their own lot, designed and priced line by line (see what to ask a home builder in Northwest Arkansas). Others take a newer house past builder grade, with a larger primary bath or walk-in shower, a kitchen with a bigger island and better lighting, or a covered patio and outdoor kitchen out back.
Either way, the permit starts with drawings. The city’s residential application asks for plans showing doors, window sizes, smoke detectors, room designations and utility setbacks, and every inspection has to be booked 24 hours ahead. We draw the plans with your estimate, submit them through the city’s online portal, and meet the inspector.

“The boys at Harvey Construction are top notch! Great quality and great people! I’ve used them for everything from fascia repairs to bathroom remodels and they always deliver exceptional results.”
“We have an air bnb in downtown Bentonville and these guys helped us fix it up. They also really helped us get it back up and running after the tornado in June 2024. They even connected us with some of the services needed that they don’t cover such as water removal. Thanks guys!”
“Would recommend. Harvey Construction’s got some excellent staff in their office and on the field. They were eager to get us on the schedule quickly, communicated when weather delays occurred, and delivered quality work.”
