Whole-Home & Major Renovations
Right house, right street — wrong layout, tired finishes, dated systems. A whole-home renovation reworks all of it: how the home flows, how it looks, and often the structure and envelope underneath. It's some of the most rewarding work there is, and it's exactly the kind we love.
What a whole-home renovation covers
- Gut renovation to the studs — rebuilding the interior around a better plan
- Layout reconfiguration — opening up living spaces, moving walls, rethinking flow
- Structural changes — removing load-bearing walls, new beams, and the structural repairs older homes reveal
- Additions & second storeys — adding the space the footprint can't, done with home additions
- Systems & envelope — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, windows, and exterior brought up to modern standard
- Kitchens, baths & finishes — the kitchens and finishes that make it yours
The structural edge on major renovations
Here's what sets a major renovation apart from a cosmetic one: the deeper you go, the more of the structure you touch — and the more you find. Rot, undersized framing, a failing beam, a foundation that's moved. Most renovation contractors stop and sub that out, which means delays and finger-pointing. Because structural repair is our core specialty, we fix it in stride and keep your project moving. On older North Shore homes, that's not a nice-to-have — it's the difference between a smooth renovation and a runaway one.
Renovate or rebuild?
Sometimes the honest answer to a big renovation is that a rebuild delivers more. Because we do both major renovations and custom homes, we'll give you an unbiased read on which path fits your home, your lot, and your budget — see our guide to custom home vs. major renovation.
Our process
1. Walkthrough & assessment. We look at the home, the structure, and what you want. 2. Design & scope. We work with your designer or architect and price a clear scope. 3. Fixed-scope quote. You know the number and schedule before we start. 4. The build. One accountable crew, structure handled in-house, and dust and disruption managed if you're staying in the home. 5. Warranty-backed handover. For budgeting and schedule, see what a whole-home renovation costs and how long it takes.
