Whole home remodeling

one plan for the whole house

When several rooms need work, one coordinated plan beats a string of separate projects. We design the whole house together, sequence the trades once, and you live through one remodel instead of four.

What a whole home remodel includes

Every trade. One team.

Every project is scoped to your house and your priorities. These are the pieces that most whole home plans bring together.

  • 01

    Layout and flow

    Walls opened or moved, rooms reassigned and sightlines planned so the house works the way you live now.

  • 02

    Kitchen and baths

    The kitchen and the bathrooms designed as a set, with cabinetry, tile and fixtures that belong to the same house.

  • 03

    Flooring throughout

    One flooring plan across the main areas, so transitions disappear and the rooms read as one space.

  • 04

    Lighting and electrical

    A lighting plan for every room, new circuits where the house needs them and fixtures chosen with the finishes.

  • 05

    Paint, trim and doors

    Interior paint, baseboards, casing, doors and hardware refreshed together so nothing looks left behind.

  • 06

    Systems and repairs

    Plumbing, HVAC and structural fixes handled while the walls are open, not after the finishes go in.

Our ten-step process, condensed

From first meeting to walkthrough.

  1. Hands comparing stone and tile samples over a plan

    Walk the whole house

    We tour every room with you, list what stays and what changes, and agree on priorities and a range for the budget.

  2. Stone, marble and tile samples laid out for selection

    Design as one project

    Plans, selections and a phased schedule are developed for the whole house, then priced in one detailed proposal.

  3. Installer setting large-format marble tile

    Build in sequence

    Demolition, rough-ins, inspections and finishes run room by room in the order that keeps the house livable.

  4. Painter working in a two-story living room

    Walk through and warranty

    A final inspection of every room with you, the punch list closed, and warranty coverage explained in writing.

Questions

Before you call.

Can we live in the house during a whole home remodel?
Often, yes. We phase the work so at least one bathroom and a place to cook stay usable, seal off active areas and clean up daily. For projects that touch every room at once, moving out for part of the schedule can be faster and less expensive, and we will tell you when that is the case.
Is a whole home remodel cheaper than doing rooms one at a time?
Usually the total is lower and the disruption is shorter. Trades mobilize once, materials are ordered together, and permits and inspections are combined. The proposal breaks the scope out by room, so you can still phase the work if you prefer.
How long does a whole home remodel take?
It depends on how many rooms change and whether walls, plumbing or the roofline move. We set the construction schedule before work starts, after the design and selections are final, and update you as each phase closes.
Do you handle the design, or do I need an architect?
Our design-build team handles layout planning, material selections and construction drawings for most remodels. When structural changes require an engineer or an architect, we bring them in and coordinate their work as part of the project.
