Whole House Remodeling in Rochester Hills, MI

Most whole house remodels take three to nine months of construction, depending on scope and permits. Design and planning come first and can add several weeks. Staging materials before demolition keeps the schedule on track. We give you a written schedule before work begins.

Sometimes, if the work is phased. We can renovate one area at a time and keep a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom usable. Large projects that open up many rooms and utilities are often faster, and less stressful, when the family moves out for a few months. We talk through both options during your walkthrough.

Yes, for most of the work. Structural changes, interior alterations, and changes to electrical, plumbing, or heating and cooling systems generally need permits and inspections.

Often it is cheaper to remodel, once you add agent fees, closing costs, and moving expenses. Rochester Hills home values rose about 43 percent between 2017 and 2023, according to U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates, so a remodel also builds on equity you already have. If you love your lot and your neighborhood, renovating is often the simpler path.

The median Rochester Hills home was built around 1983 or 1984, so many homes are now more than 40 years old. Original furnaces, water heaters, windows, and insulation are often near the end of their service life. Homes built between about 1978 and 1995 can also contain polybutylene water pipes, which are known to leak. We check these systems during the walkthrough, so the remodel does not hide a problem behind new drywall.

A whole house remodel plans every room and system as one project. A room-by-room remodel treats each space separately, often over several years. Planning everything together avoids opening the same walls twice and keeps finishes consistent. If your budget is tight, we can phase the work and still design the whole house up front.

Yes. Opening a wall between the kitchen and family room is one of the most common whole house changes. If the wall carries load, a properly sized beam must replace it. We confirm what supports your house first, then bring in engineering where it is required and handle the permits and framing.

We offer design-build, so planning, design, and construction come from one team. For major structural changes or additions, we coordinate stamped drawings when they are required. You do not need to hire a separate architect for most remodels.
