Whole Home Remodeling FAQs

Where to Start with a Whole Home Remodel?

Key Steps in Planning a Full Home Renovation

It all begins with a conversation. Our process starts with understanding your family’s needs: Do you entertain often? Need space for kids and grandkids? Want to age in place? Once we know your goals, we bring in your architect (or connect you with one we trust) to develop a plan that fits both your lifestyle and your lot.

How to Set a Realistic Budget for a Whole Home Remodel

Let’s have the budget talk. Not the most exciting part of the project, but definitely the most important. A whole home remodel with us typically ranges from $250K to $1.5M depending on scope. We’ll help you balance priorities and show you where to invest for maximum impact and where you might want to hold off.

Is a Full House Renovation Worth It?

ROI of a Whole Home Remodel in Oakland County

Definitely. When you stack it up against the cost and stress of selling your home, buying a new one, moving, and then making updates anyway, it often just makes more sense to renovate.

A thoughtful home remodel in Birmingham, MI can add significant resale value, especially when paired with smart energy updates and modern layouts. And if it means you stay in the neighborhood you love, priceless.

When Renovating Makes More Sense Than Moving

Still rocking that 3% interest rate? Yeah, we’d hang onto it too! A lot of our clients come to us because they love their location, but the house just isn’t working anymore. A whole home remodeling project lets you reimagine your space without giving up your school district, your lake access, or your awesome neighbors.

What Is the Most Expensive Part of Renovating a House?

Costliest Areas – Kitchens, Bathrooms, and Structural Work

If your remodel involves gutting a kitchen, relocating plumbing, or opening up walls, you’re going to feel it in the budget. Kitchens and bathrooms are often the most expensive areas in a whole home renovation, especially with high-end materials and appliances.

Structural changes like removing load-bearing walls or adding new foundations can add another layer of complexity and cost. But these are also the changes that have the biggest wow factor when done right.

How to Prioritize Your Budget for Maximum Impact

You don’t have to do it all at once. We’ll help you look at your remodel in phases, starting with the areas that will improve your everyday life the most. That could mean updating the kitchen now and finishing the basement later, or vice versa.

How Long Does a Full Home Remodel Take?

Average Timelines for a Whole Home Renovation

Every project is different, but on average, a full home remodel in Michigan takes between 6 to 12 months. Complex projects with additions or structural work can take longer.

We’ll create a timeline that’s realistic (not wishful thinking) and adjust as needed. Our clients appreciate the fact that we’re up-front about delays and proactive about keeping things moving.

Factors That Can Speed Up or Delay the Process

Want to keep your project on track? Decisions made early and stuck to are your best friend. Waiting on tile selections or second-guessing the layout mid-demo? That’s when the timeline slips.

Here’s our promise: We’ll guide you through each decision point so you’re never guessing. And we’ll stay in communication every step of the way!

How do I know if my project is big enough for a whole home remodel?

If you're planning updates in multiple areas, like the kitchen, bathrooms, layout changes, or adding square footage, it’s probably more efficient (and cost-effective) to approach it as a full-home renovation. We can help you figure out what makes the most sense based on your goals and budget.

Can I live in my home during the remodel?

Sometimes, yes. But it depends on the scope. If we're reworking your kitchen, bathrooms, and major systems all at once, it's often more comfortable to stay elsewhere. We’ll talk through logistics early so you can plan ahead with zero surprises.

What’s the first step if I don’t have an architect yet?

No problem. We have strong relationships with experienced architects in Oakland County and can connect you with someone who fits your style and project needs. We’re happy to be part of the conversation early to help you shape the vision and set realistic expectations.

Do you guarantee project timelines?

Absolutely. We offer an On-Time Project Guarantee for qualifying home remodels. While every project is unique, we commit to staying on schedule wherever possible. Some conditions apply, so call us to find out if your project qualifies.
