FAQ

Common Questions About Full Home Remodels

How long does a full home remodel take?

Whole-home renovations commonly run 9–18 months from contract signing to move-in, depending on scope and city permitting timelines.

Do we need to move out?

For full-gut remodels, yes — typically for the duration of construction. We help coordinate timing so you're out only as long as needed.

How much does a whole-home remodel cost in the Bay Area?

Whole-home gut renovations typically run $400–$800 per square foot of existing space, plus structural and systems work. A 2,500 sq ft remodel commonly runs $1.0M–$2.5M. Final cost depends heavily on finish level and structural scope.

Do you do design-build whole-home remodels?

Yes — design, architectural drawings, structural engineering, permitting, and construction all under one fixed-scope contract. One project manager from contract through final inspection.

Can you handle structural and seismic upgrades?

Yes. Foundation bolting, cripple-wall bracing, soft-story retrofits, foundation repair, and full re-foundations are part of our regular whole-home scope.

What's the right time to do a whole-home remodel?

Most clients do whole-home remodels when buying a property they plan to keep long-term, or when the current home no longer meets their needs and selling/buying isn't preferable. We do many pre-move-in remodels for new buyers.
