Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a whole-house remodel cost in the Bay Area?
Whole-house remodel costs in the Bay Area vary widely based on scope, materials, and structural work involved. A cosmetic refresh runs significantly less than a gut renovation with layout changes. Our design phase gives you a complete itemized scope so you know exact costs before any demolition begins.
How long does a whole-house remodel take?
Most whole-house remodels take 4 to 12 months depending on scope. A cosmetic update may take 4 to 6 months, while a gut renovation with structural changes can take 8 to 12 months. The design phase typically adds 2 to 3 months upfront, but saves time during construction by eliminating mid-project decisions.
Do I need to move out during a whole-house remodel?
It depends on the scope. For cosmetic updates, we can often phase the work so you stay in part of the home. For gut renovations involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes, we typically recommend temporary relocation for comfort and safety.
What permits are needed for a home remodel?
Most remodels involving structural, electrical, or plumbing changes require permits. We handle the entire permitting process with your local jurisdiction, whether that's San Jose, Palo Alto, Los Gatos, or elsewhere in the Bay Area.
