Whole home remodels typically take 8-16 weeks depending on the scope of work and size of your home. A comprehensive renovation touching every room may take 12-16 weeks, while a focused whole-home update with paint, flooring, and select room renovations might take 6-8 weeks. During your consultation, we’ll assess your specific project and provide a detailed timeline. We work efficiently to complete your project as quickly as possible while maintaining our quality standards and managing the complexities of coordinating multiple trades.

This depends on the scope of work. For extensive renovations affecting kitchens, bathrooms, and major systems, living elsewhere during construction is often more practical and allows work to progress faster. For phased renovations or less invasive projects, staying in your home may be possible, though expect significant disruption. We’ll discuss your situation during consultation and can potentially phase the work to make living on-site more manageable. Many clients choose temporary housing for major renovations to avoid the dust, noise, and inconvenience of active construction.

Older homes often reveal unexpected issues, outdated wiring, plumbing problems, or structural concerns, once walls are opened. We conduct thorough initial assessments to anticipate potential issues, but surprises can happen. When they do, we immediately inform you, explain the issue and implications, provide options and pricing, and work with you to make informed decisions. Our experience with whole home remodels means we’re prepared to handle unexpected challenges efficiently. We also recommend including a contingency in your budget (typically 10-15%) to address unforeseen issues without derailing your project.
