What is considered a full home remodel?
A full home remodel typically involves reworking multiple areas of the home at once—often including layout changes, opening walls, modernizing kitchens and bathrooms, updating mechanical systems, and improving overall flow and livability. It’s the right choice when you want a significantly updated home without moving.
Do I need a designer for a full home remodel?
Yes. Full remodels involve many moving parts, and a designer ensures the entire project is cohesive, functional, and fully thought through before construction begins. They help define selections, coordinate layouts, and prevent costly changes once the build is underway.
How disruptive is a full home remodel?
Full remodels are significant projects, and depending on the scope, you may need to move out temporarily. We plan the project carefully during Pre‑Construction to minimize surprises and keep the process as smooth and predictable as possible.
Is it more cost‑effective to remodel or move?
For many homeowners, remodeling is the better investment—especially if you love your neighborhood or have a home with character worth preserving. A full remodel allows you to modernize the space, improve functionality, and increase long‑term value without the costs and stress of relocating.
How long does a full home remodel take?
A full home remodel happens in two major phases. Pre‑Construction typically takes 4–7 months, depending on design development, engineering, permitting, and how quickly selections are finalized. Once construction begins, most full remodels take 8 months to 1 year to complete, with larger homes or more complex structural changes extending that timeline. This approach ensures the project is fully planned before work starts, leading to a smoother, more predictable build.
What is the going rate per square foot for a remodel?
Remodel pricing varies widely depending on the age of the home, structural changes, mechanical upgrades, and the level of finishes you’re targeting. In our market, full‑scope remodels typically start around $250 per square foot and often reach $350 per square foot or more depending on complexity, layout changes, and the condition of the existing structure.
