The James K. Polk Home and garden in Columbia, Tennessee

Stellan Eoin Builders is a licensed general contractor serving Columbia, TN, the county seat of Maury County in southern Middle Tennessee, where US-31, US-412, and US-43 meet along the Duck River. From our Nashville office we handle historic preservation, adaptive reuse, restaurant construction, and home renovations, with scope, budget, and schedule set in writing before any work starts.

Why Columbia Property Owners Choose Stellan Eoin Builders

Columbia calls itself the "Antebellum Homes Capital of Tennessee," and a 2024 special census counted 48,885 residents, up from 41,690 in 2020. Growth from Spring Hill, home to General Motors and Ultium manufacturing, and from Franklin now reaches both the historic core and new subdivisions in Columbia. A contractor who knows the City of Columbia Development Services Department, its Historic Zoning Commission, and its floodplain rules keeps a project moving.

Our Services in Columbia - Historic Preservation

Columbia has five designated historic districts, and a Certificate of Appropriateness is required for construction, demolition, or exterior alteration of any structure inside them. Minor requests are handled by the Zoning Administrator, while major ones go before the Historic Zoning Commission. We prepare drawings and material details that follow the district design guidelines. Read more about our historic preservation work.

Adaptive Reuse

Older buildings around the courthouse square and near West 7th Street were built for different uses than many owners have in mind today. Adaptive reuse turns them into offices, shops, or hospitality space while keeping their character. We evaluate structure, exits, accessibility, and utilities early so the design reflects what the building can support. See our adaptive reuse services.

Restaurant Construction

Downtown Columbia draws crowds for events such as Mule Day each April, and restaurant operators need kitchens planned around health and building inspections. We build restaurants in shell space or existing buildings, coordinating hood systems, grease interceptors, plumbing, and dining room finishes so the space is ready for inspection when you are.

Renovations Near the Duck River

The Duck River floods parts of Columbia, particularly neighborhoods near downtown, and the city participates in the National Flood Insurance Program with local rules for building in flood-prone areas. For renovations and additions, we check flood zone maps and permit requirements before design is final, so elevation and material decisions are made up front.

Serving the Columbia Community

Columbia's history, from the James K. Polk Home to Columbia State Community College, founded in 1966, sits alongside newer communities such as Arden Village and Bear Creek Overlook. We plan work that respects both the historic core and the growing edges of Columbia.
