Whole Home Renovation

Overview

A whole-house renovation is a different discipline from a room. The problem is no longer craftsmanship in one space; it is sequencing across many. Electrical cannot rough in until framing is done, drywall cannot close until inspections pass, and floors cannot go down until the wet trades are finished. Every trade that arrives out of order costs a week.

This is the reason we run our own crew across the trades rather than assembling a different set of subcontractors for each phase. When one team is responsible from demolition to the final walkthrough, nobody is waiting on somebody else’s calendar, and there is nobody to point at when something is wrong.

What we find in South Florida homes

Aluminum wiring in houses built between roughly 1965 and 1975. Cast-iron waste lines at the end of their service life. Polybutylene supply pipe. Additions that were never permitted and therefore never inspected. None of these are reasons to panic, but all of them are reasons to open a wall before quoting a number, and all of them are far cheaper to address while the house is already open.

How we phase a whole-house project

Where a family is staying in the home, we phase the work so there is always a functioning kitchen or bathroom — usually by completing one wing or floor before starting the next. It adds a little time and removes an enormous amount of stress. Where the house is empty, we run trades in parallel and finish considerably faster.
