Because this is what it looks like before it gets better.

Open walls. Exposed wiring. Pipes everywhere. Dust. Noise. A house that doesn't feel "normal" for a while.

The Truth About Whole House Remodeling

Whole house remodeling isn't fast or pretty at first. It happens in phases. There are inspections. Material delays. Schedule shifts. And the people doing the work are real localsā€”moms, dads, humans with kids and school schedules and doctor's appointments. Not robots.

Which Type of Homeowner Are You?

šŸ˜« If you need everything perfect every single day...

This process will stress you out. Whole house remodels are messy, unpredictable, and require patience. There will be days that don't go as planned.

šŸ˜Š If you understand the process and stay flexible...

The end result is worth it. You'll have a completely transformed home that's built right, with quality work from people who care about their craft.

What to Expect During a Whole House Remodel

  • Phases: Demo, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, finishes. Each requires different trades and inspections.
  • Inspections: Required at multiple stages. Sometimes we wait on inspectors' schedules.
  • Material Delays: Supply chain issues happen. We plan ahead but sometimes things are backordered.
  • Schedule Shifts: Weather, unforeseen issues, and real life can affect timelines. We communicate every step of the way.
  • The Mess: Yes, there will be dust, noise, and disruption. We do our best to contain it, but it's part of the process.
