How long does a whole-home renovation take?

A total renovation typically takes between 4 to 6 months, depending on the size of the home and the scope of structural changes. Because we have established, long-term relationships with our trade partners, we are able to bypass many of the scheduling delays that plague less experienced builders.

Do I need to move out during a full renovation?

For a whole-home project, we generally recommend that clients move out temporarily. Because we will be working on multiple rooms simultaneously, often involving plumbing and electrical shut-offs, it is much faster and safer for our team to work in an unoccupied space. This often results in an amazing finish in a shorter timeframe.

How do we start the design process?

We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your "must-haves" and your "dream-haves." We then work to align your vision with a realistic budget and timeline. Our experience allows us to spot potential challenges early, saving you time and money during the design phase.

Can you help with the permitting process?

Absolutely. One of the reasons we are considered a trustworthy builder in the Lewisville and greater DFW area is our familiarity with local building codes and permit offices. We handle all the paperwork and inspections so you can focus on the exciting parts, like choosing your finishes and fixtures.

The Full Scope

One home, one team, one standard throughout

Your renovation is planned as a single commission that spans every room and every system in the house.

Open-Concept Reconfigurations

Walls come out, steel goes in where the structure requires it, and the main floor is replanned around how you gather and entertain.

System Upgrades

Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC replaced or upsized to current standards and sized for the home you are creating.

Design Consistency

Flooring, trim, cabinetry, and color specified once and carried through every room, so the house reads as one hand.

Interior & Exterior Alignment

Exterior work scoped alongside the interior so the finished property presents as one completed commission.

Scope & Sequence

Planning a whole home renovation

How we plan and sequence a full-house renovation, and what your no cost estimate walkthrough will cover.

What a whole home renovation covers

A whole home renovation is one commission that touches the kitchen, the baths, the living spaces, the flooring and trim, and usually the home's major systems in a single, sequenced build. The result is a house that is current in both function and finish from the front door back.

When we walk your home, we scope every room against that standard and mark what stays, what goes, and what gets rebuilt.

Historic vs. contemporary homes

We renovate both ends of the DFW spectrum. Older and historic properties usually need real structural work, foundation repair, reframing, or full system replacement, carried out alongside the finish renovation. A decade-old contemporary home more often needs its layout opened and its finishes brought up to the standard of the rest of your life.

Your no cost estimate begins with an honest assessment of which category your home falls into, and your proposal is scoped accordingly.

Living arrangements during the project

Because the work touches most rooms and major systems at once, our clients generally move out for the duration. An empty house lets the trades run in parallel rather than around a family's routine, and that compression is what keeps a whole home renovation to months rather than a year. We will help you time the move against the construction calendar when we set your schedule.

The no cost estimate process

Your project starts with an in-depth no cost estimate at the house. We walk every room with you, record your priorities and budget for each space, and identify the structural and system work the house itself will demand. From there we develop one design direction for flooring, trim, cabinetry, and color, and a phased construction plan you approve before any demolition begins.

Permits & code compliance

A renovation of this scope typically carries permits across multiple trades, structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical, within the same project, and DFW cities inspect at set milestones. Sequencing those trades and inspections correctly is what keeps a whole-home calendar intact, and it is planned into your schedule from the start.

One point of contact

A whole home renovation involves more trades and more decisions than any other project type, and it is where single-point accountability earns its keep. You work with one senior lead who manages every trade, every schedule, and every selection. One person answers for the house. Schedule your no cost estimate and you will meet that person at your first walkthrough.

Most run 4 to 6 months from start to final walkthrough, depending on the home's size and the scope of structural and system work. Your phased calendar is set before demolition begins.

Do you take on smaller projects or repairs?

We are a full-renovation firm. Our team is structured for complete kitchen and bath remodels, additions, and whole-home renovations rather than minor repairs or single-fixture updates. If your project involves rethinking a space rather than patching one, we should talk.
