FAQs Whole-home Remodeling

Is it cheaper to renovate a house or build from scratch?

It is usually cheaper to renovate a house than to build one from scratch. When building a new home from scratch, all materials are new. With a home renovation, most materials remain in place and some can even be reused. The scale of a new home build will nearly always be greater than that of a home renovation.

What comes first in remodeling?

The first thing to do with whole-house remodeling is to develop a plan with a contractor. After that, the first step is to demolish and remove the parts of the home that will be remodeled.

What is the most expensive part of a remodel?

The most expensive part of a whole-home remodel is usually remodeling the kitchen and the bathrooms. Electrical and plumbing work are costly, as well as adding a foundation if any sections of the home need to be rebuilt.
