We have been building in Cache Valley since 2023. Our reviews live on Google and Facebook, where we have no ability to edit or remove anything — so read them there rather than take our word for it.
When The Problem Is The Floor Plan
A whole home renovation is the one project where the word means almost nothing on its own. To one homeowner it is new floors, paint and a kitchen. To another it is taking the house back to the studs and rebuilding it inside its own shell. Both are called the same thing, both get quoted by the same contractors, and that is why the numbers people hear range from fifty thousand to well over two hundred.
The reason we do it in one coordinated push rather than a room at a time is not upselling. Renovating piecemeal produces a house where the rooms do not talk to each other — three flooring transitions, two paint whites, a kitchen that opens onto a living room that was done four years earlier and now looks it. It also costs more in total, because you mobilize trades, pull permits and live through dust three separate times instead of once.
Most whole home projects here run three to eight months and land between $70,000 and $120,000. Where yours sits depends far more on your selections and how much of the layout changes than on the square footage of the house.
Four Levels Of Whole Home Work
“Whole home remodel” covers everything from new floors and paint to taking a house back to the studs. That is exactly why quotes vary so wildly, and why two identical houses on the same street can be a hundred thousand dollars apart. These are the four levels we actually build.
Light Refresh
New flooring, interior paint, minor drywall repair, basic lighting and fixture updates, limited trim work. Right when the layout already works and you want the house to look and feel current.
Mid-Range
Where most homeowners land. Flooring and paint throughout, kitchen updates, one or more bathrooms, more drywall and retexturing, expanded finish carpentry. Not a refresh — a genuine improvement in how the house works.
Full Remodel
Nearly every part of the house. Full kitchen, multiple bathrooms, flooring and carpentry throughout, layout adjustments, and electrical, plumbing and HVAC changes. Structure, permits and real trade coordination enter here.
Full Gut
Down to the studs and rebuilt. Complete system replacement, major layout reconfiguration, rooms added or relocated, high-end selections. The house is effectively being rebuilt inside its existing shell.
Your Selections Are The Budget
The most common misconception we run into is that similar homes should cost similar amounts to remodel. They rarely do. On a whole-home project the choices you make on materials get multiplied across every room, so a difference that looks small on a sample board becomes tens of thousands by the end.
Flooring
Installed, including labor. Across two thousand square feet that one decision is a thirty thousand dollar swing before anything else is chosen.
Vanities, cabinets and counters
Stock versus custom cabinets, laminate versus quartz or stone. Same footprint, same labor, wildly different invoice.
Drywall finish
Orange peel and knockdown are standard and economical. A smooth or near level-5 finish costs significantly more and most homeowners have never been told it is a choice.
Structure and mechanicals
Removing walls brings engineering, permits, framing and rerouted services. Panel upgrades, HVAC capacity, repiping and insulation are often required for code and safety even when they were not in your plan.
Plan a buffer of 10 to 20 percent. Not because we expect to use it, but because homeowners get inspired mid-project and want to extend scope. A buffer turns that into a decision rather than a problem.
Three To Eight Months, Depending On Scope
A whole-home project is the longest thing we do, and the honest range is wide because the work behind the word varies so much.
Straightforward
Fewer layout changes and lighter demolition. Finishes, fixtures and surfaces rather than structure.
Involved
Layout changes, structural adjustments, several areas of the house at once.
Large or complex
Two-story work, extensive demolition, major system replacement.
Permitting sits outside that. Once plans are submitted, expect at least two weeks for approval — and that is only the approval. Designing and finalizing the plans happens before it. The gap between deciding to remodel and demo day is longer than most people plan for, and it is the single most common scheduling surprise.
Projects rarely run long because of slow crews. They run long because of change orders, materials arriving late, and selections that were not locked in. Moving electrical after that phase has closed means waiting for the electrician to come back, and that alone is a week or more.
Questions We Get Before A Whole Home Project
Most fall between $50,000 and $200,000 depending on scope. A light aesthetic refresh runs $50,000 to $70,000, a mid-range remodel lands between $70,000 and $120,000, and a full remodel reaches $120,000 to $200,000. A full gut with complete system replacement goes above that. Size, materials and how much of the layout changes are what move you between those.
Three to eight months. Straightforward projects with lighter demolition run three to four months. Layout changes, structural work or several areas at once put you in the four to six month range. Larger homes, two-story work or extensive system replacement run six to eight months or more. Permitting adds at least two weeks before construction starts.
Selections and structure. Choosing tile over LVP, custom cabinets over stock, or quartz over laminate shifts the budget substantially, and on a whole-home job that difference multiplies across every room. Layout changes that involve removing walls or rerouting plumbing and electrical add a second layer most homeowners do not anticipate.
Ten to twenty percent above the estimate. Not because we expect overruns, but because homeowners get inspired partway through and want to extend the scope. Having the cushion means that becomes a decision you get to make rather than a problem you have to solve.
Sometimes, and it depends entirely on scope. If we are working room by room and the kitchen and a bathroom stay live, plenty of families stay. If the project involves whole-house mechanical replacement or taking the main level back to studs, you should plan to move out. We will tell you honestly which one yours is before you sign, because it changes your budget.
Genuinely worth asking, and the answer is not always remodel. If the layout is fundamentally wrong, the lot is wrong, or you would be building the most expensive house on the street, moving is often the better financial decision. We would rather say that on the first call than take a project that leaves you unhappy.
