What Full Renovation Includes

A “total renovation” means more than cosmetic fixes. We manage every aspect of the project to ensure your home meets your current needs in style, function, and efficiency:

  • Comprehensive Consultation & Planning – We start with an in-depth discovery: your lifestyle, goals, budget, timeline, and the existing structure’s condition.
  • Design & Architecture – From space planning and floor layouts to material selections and interior design, we create plans that maximize comfort, flow, and aesthetics.
  • Structural & Systems Upgrades – This may include foundation repair, removing or adding walls, updating load-bearing beams, remodeling plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, windows, roofing, etc.
  • Interior Overhaul – Kitchen & bathrooms, flooring, cabinetry, millwork, lighting, trim, paint, fixtures—everything refreshed or replaced for seamless integration.
  • Exterior Facade & Outdoor Spaces – Siding, roofing, porches, decks, patios, outdoor steps; landscaping or hardscaping updates as needed to complement your interior changes.
  • Energy Efficiency & Modern Technology – Upgrades for comfort, savings, and long-term performance: insulation, windows & doors, high-efficiency appliances, lighting updates, smart home systems.
  • Permitting & Code Compliance – We handle all required permits, inspections, and ensure local building codes are met in East Lyme and surrounding areas.
  • Finishing Touches & Quality Control – From hardware and paint to final clean-up, we pay attention to details so the final reveal is one you’ll love living in.

Frequently Asked Questions for our Total Renovations Services

Will a total renovation cost more than moving to a new home?
It depends. Renovations can be very cost-effective when considering moving costs, emotional value, and the opportunity to stay where you love. We help you weigh options early so you make the best choice for your situation.

How long will a whole-house renovation take?
Depends on size, condition, permits, and complexity. Typically, a full-scale renovation may take several months to a year. We give you a timeline before work begins and keep you updated during the process.

Can I live in the house during renovation?
In many cases yes; in others, for major structural or system work you might need partial vacating or special arrangements. We’ll discuss what works best for your family early in planning.

What about surprises or hidden issues?
Older homes often reveal unforeseen problems—rot, structural damage, outdated wiring, etc. We build in contingencies wherever possible and communicate promptly if issues arise, so you’re never left in the dark.
