Complete Home Remodeling

Service Details

Home energy audit as the starting point: Before any design decisions, we run a blower door test, thermal imaging scan, and utility bill analysis to identify your biggest energy loss points. This ensures every dollar spent on insulation, windows, HVAC, and solar goes to the highest-impact upgrade first.

Integrated design, permitting, and construction: Our in-house architects, designers, and project managers coordinate all trades - structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and finish work - under a single permit package wherever possible. This eliminates the coordination failures that cost homeowners thousands when managing separate contractors.

IRA tax credit maximization and rebate filing: We identify every qualifying improvement in your project, document them for IRS Form 5695, and submit LADWP rebate applications at closeout. Most whole-home remodels generate $8,000–$15,000 in combined federal tax credits and utility rebates.

🌿 Why a Complete Remodel Is the Eco-Smart Path

A piecemeal remodel - kitchen one year, bathroom the next, windows later - typically costs 25–40% more than a coordinated whole-home renovation, because each trade must mobilize independently and create separate disruption. More importantly, you miss system-level energy improvements that only reveal themselves when you look at the whole house at once.

Our whole-home approach follows a deliberate energy upgrade sequence: air sealing and insulation first, then HVAC right-sizing, then solar. This sequence ensures your new heat pump or solar system is sized for your improved envelope - not the leaky, poorly-insulated home you started with. The result is a smaller (cheaper) system that performs better than an oversized one ever would.

🏡 Our LA Whole-Home Remodel Process

Home Energy Audit: We begin with a blower door test, thermal imaging, and utility bill analysis to identify your home's biggest energy loss points and prioritize upgrades by ROI.

Integrated Design: Architecture, interior design, and engineering are coordinated from day one so structural, mechanical, and aesthetic decisions are made together - not in conflict.

Single Permit Package: We bundle all work into one comprehensive permit application wherever possible, reducing your permit fees and shortening the approval timeline.

Trade Sequencing: Our scheduler coordinates 8–12 trades (demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, drywall, tile, flooring, cabinet, paint, solar) in the optimal order - eliminating waiting time between phases.

IRA & Rebate Maximization: Our energy advisor compiles all qualifying improvements and prepares your IRA tax documentation and LADWP rebate applications as part of project closeout.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a complete home remodel cost in Los Angeles?+

Complete home remodel costs in LA range widely depending on scope: $150–$250 per sq ft for standard finishes and primarily cosmetic work; $250–$400 per sq ft for significant structural changes, new systems, and mid-to-high-end finishes; $400+ per sq ft for luxury finishes, full structural reconfiguration, or hillside lots with difficult site access. A 2,000 sq ft whole-home renovation typically ranges from $300,000–$600,000. We provide detailed estimates broken down by room and trade.

How long does a complete home remodel take in Los Angeles?+

Timeline depends heavily on the scope of structural and mechanical changes. A largely cosmetic whole-home refresh (floors, paint, kitchen, bathrooms, lighting) takes 3–5 months. Full gut renovations with layout changes, new systems, and permits typically take 8–14 months from permit approval to final certificate of occupancy. We provide a detailed Gantt chart schedule before work begins.

Do I need to move out during a complete home remodel?+

For most complete home remodels, yes - at least for the heavy construction phase. We can often sequence work to maintain one habitable bathroom and a kitchenette area for roughly the middle third of the project, but the demo, framing, plumbing, and mechanical phases generate dust, noise, and safety hazards that make full-time occupancy impractical. We'll advise on exact timing based on your specific scope.
