Whole Home Remodel + Renovation Process
Transforming your entire home—inside and out.
BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO OLD SPACES
Some of our most creative work begins not with a blank canvas—but with an existing home ready for transformation. We specialize in taking older homes down to the studs and rebuilding them into “new” old homes—spaces that blend timeless character with modern function and beauty.

AFTER
STEP 1: Vision & Assessment
We start by getting to know you, your goals, and your vision for your renovated home. Then we assess the existing structure—identifying what should be preserved, what can be enhanced, and where we have opportunities to completely reimagine the space. Throughout this phase, we’ll advise you on feasibility, budget considerations, and design possibilities.
Step 2: Floor Plan & Architectural Design
We collaborate with skilled, efficiency-minded architects and designers to develop a floor plan that maximizes your home’s potential. Together, we’ll create new spaces, improve flow, enhance functionality, and ensure the design supports how you want to live—all while respecting the original character of the home where appropriate.
Step 3: Exterior Design
Your home’s exterior sets the tone for what’s inside. During this phase, we’ll work with you to select exterior materials and architectural details that honor the home’s heritage while enhancing curb appeal and performance. Whether preserving the style of a classic home or giving it a modern reinterpretation, we help you strike the perfect balance.
Step 4: INTERIOR design
We partner with a professional interior design firm to help you bring your vision to life inside the home. Together, we’ll guide you through selections for cabinetry, lighting, flooring, fixtures, appliances, and finishes—ensuring every detail complements your style and stays within your budget.
Throughout the process, we’ll develop clear specifications and allowances so you can make confident, informed decisions.
Step 5: Construction & Craftsmanship
From demolition through reconstruction, we manage the entire build process with the same precision, craftsmanship, and care we bring to our custom homes. We maintain open communication throughout the project, keeping you informed and engaged as your home transforms. The result is a space that not only looks beautiful—but functions seamlessly for modern living.
