Who is DiRienzo Builders?

The company works in Chapel Hill, Durham, Orange County and Chatham County, on new construction as well as renovation and remodeling.

The most recent project we could attribute to the company is a Durham alteration permit at 59 Kimberly Drive, issued in February 2024. The license is still active and the company website is online, so DiRienzo may still take work. We simply have not seen a newer public record.

What DiRienzo Builders builds

DiRienzo Builders handles new construction, renovation, remodeling and design. Its project gallery shows a wide range of architectural styles:

  • Classic and modern farmhouse homes, including the Old Bridge new build
  • Modern French Provincial work
  • Neo-Gothic custom work
