How long does a whole-house remodel of an older home take?

It depends on how many systems are replaced and whether the layout changes. The written scope includes a schedule by phase, with the inspection points marked, so you can see where the time goes.

Do you test for asbestos and lead before starting?

Yes. Older flooring, plaster, duct wrap and paint are tested before demolition. If anything comes back positive, a licensed abatement contractor removes it first and that step appears in the scope.

Can you match trim that has to be replaced?

Yes. We take a profile from an original piece and have new trim milled to match, so a patched room does not show where old ends and new begins.

Start with the systems you cannot see

In an older house, the parts that matter most sit inside the walls: cloth-covered wiring, a small fuse panel, galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains. A whole-house remodel is the one time those walls are open, so we replace these systems first and have them inspected before anything new is finished over them.

Change the layout without losing the character

Many older plans have a closed kitchen, a single bath and small rooms off a hallway. We can open a wall, add a bath or move the kitchen while keeping the built-ins, the wood casing and the door hardware that make the house what it is. An engineer checks any wall that carries load before it comes out.

Phased or all at once

You can stay in the house and work through it in phases, or move out and finish sooner. We price both ways when it makes sense, show the difference in the scope, and help you pick the order: systems first, then kitchen and baths, then floors and paint.
