VI.FAQ

Whole-Home Remodel — Frequently Asked Questions

What does a whole-home remodel cost in the South Bay?: Cosmetic-level whole-home refreshes (paint, floors, light kitchen and bath updates, no structural changes) run $150–$300 per square foot. Mid-range remodels with kitchen and bath gut jobs and select wall removals run $300–$500 per square foot. High-end gut renovations with structural changes, premium finishes, and exterior work run $500–$800+ per square foot. We pin down the budget early in design.
How long does a whole-home remodel take?: Design through final inspection typically runs 12–24 months for a full whole-home project: 3–4 months design, 3–5 months permitting (with long-lead procurement happening in parallel), and 6–14 months construction depending on scope. We give you a documented timeline at proposal.
Do I have to move out?: For most whole-home gut renovations, yes. The combination of dust, noise, and utility shutoffs makes living onsite impractical for the construction phase. Phased approaches that keep half the house livable are possible for some projects but typically extend the timeline by 30–50%.
Why design-build instead of hiring an architect separately?: Architect-only delivery often produces beautiful designs that price out 30–60% over the original budget — and you find out only after months of design work. Design-build forces realistic pricing into the design process from day one, reduces handoff gaps between design and construction, and gives you one accountable team. For most remodels under $1.5M, design-build is the better fit.
