Remodeling and building in Centerton
Centerton is the fastest-growing city in Arkansas among cities of 20,000 or more: it added 1,721 people in a year to reach about 25,700 in the Census Bureau’s 2024 estimate, growth of 7.2%. That’s a long way from the 491 residents it had in 1990, when it was still best known as an apple-processing stop at the center of Benton County. The average Centerton home sold for about $446,000 in the second half of 2025, per the Skyline Report, and builders were still busy in subdivisions like Woodcrest Walk and Huber Place.
A lot of Centerton homes are new enough that the first projects owners take on are a covered back patio or pergola, a deck, a finished bonus room or an upgraded primary bath. We do all of those, along with kitchen remodels and full renovations. If you want to cook out there too, see what goes into an outdoor kitchen: Centerton’s building FAQ lists outdoor kitchens as needing a permit, with exterior-rated fixtures and water lines you can blow out for winter.
Permits in Centerton
Centerton’s Building Safety Department issues building, plumbing, electrical and mechanical permits, and its residential permit application covers remodels, additions and repairs. The city wants full-size PDF plans (no handwritten plans), inspections are scheduled online, and its FAQ says a covered back patio needs a permit with a framing design and post piers 18 by 18 inches and 24 inches deep.

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.
Home remodeling in Centerton
Centerton has the newest housing of any city we work in. In the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (2020–2024), the median Centerton home was built in 2009, two years newer than Bentonville (2007) and eleven newer than Rogers (1998). About 46% of Centerton homes were built in 2010 or later and another 38% in the 2000s, so only about one in six is older than 2000. About two-thirds (66%) are owner-occupied, a higher share than Rogers (57%) or Springdale (53%).
That shapes what home remodeling in Centerton usually means. The plumbing, wiring and framing are rarely the problem; the projects are about finishing and upgrading a builder-grade house: a primary bath with a walk-in tile shower in place of the garden tub, a kitchen with better cabinets and an island, a finished bonus room, or a covered back patio. And building hasn’t slowed: the Skyline Report counted 30 homes under construction in Woodcrest Walk alone in the second half of 2025.
Two Centerton rules shape the paperwork. The city takes full-size PDF plans only, so even a modest remodel gets drawn properly, and its building FAQ keeps a detached shop, pavilion or other permanent accessory structure at least 7 feet off the rear property line. We also check any HOA covenants on your lot alongside the city rules before we design.

Centerton remodeling questions
Do I need a permit for a covered patio in Centerton?
Yes. Centerton’s Building Safety FAQ says a covered back patio needs a permit application with a framing design, and the post piers must be 18 by 18 inches and 24 inches deep. We draw the framing plan and pull the permit. See covered patios.

“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.”
