Whole-home renovations

An old house, made sound

Budgets from: $260,000
Time on site: 5 to 9 months

An older house is worth saving when its bones are good. We survey it first, top to bottom, and tell you plainly what’s sound and what isn’t.

Then we plan it as one job: what gets opened, in what order, and which week each room comes back to you.

Questions

Is it cheaper to do it in stages?

Usually not. Opening a wall twice costs twice; doing the wiring, plumbing and insulation while it's open saves money and months.

What if you find something behind the walls?

Old houses always have something. Our estimate carries a contingency for it, and you approve every change in writing before we do it.
