Whole-Home Renovations in Chicagoland
Multi-room renovations with one plan and one timeline, run by one team.
Whole-home work needs one plan and one timeline, especially if you are living in the house. We coordinate kitchens, baths, flooring, and living rooms so finishes and schedule stay aligned.
Decisions get sequenced. You get a written proposal and milestone payments. Nothing material shifts mid-project unless you approve a change order first.
Typical investment ranges
What a whole-home renovation costs depends on how many rooms are involved and how deep the finish level goes. Many coordinated renovations land in the $100k–$250k+ range; larger homes can run higher. We confirm scope and pricing after design.
Multi-room refresh
Often $75k–$150k+
Two to four rooms coordinated (kitchen plus baths or living spaces) with aligned finishes and one schedule.
Full-home renovation
Often $150k–$250k+
Kitchen, baths, living areas, flooring, and trim under one design-build plan with a dedicated project lead.
Estate-scale / high-spec
$250k+
Extensive renovations across larger North Shore, western-suburb, or Barrington-area homes with premium materials and complex sequencing.
These are typical ranges, not a quote. Your proposal comes after design. Explore remodeling financing if monthly payments help you move forward on the right scope.
Design-build process
Every whole home project follows the same clarity path from consultation to warranty. See the full process.
1. Design consultation
An expert designer from our team walks the home with you and talks through your goals, and how you want to live in the space.
2. Design & written proposal
You get a clear scope, a written proposal with options, and a milestone payment schedule. Never a large upfront deposit. Changes only happen through a written change order you approve first.
3. Permits handled for you
Chicago-area permits and inspections are on us. You never chase the village or the city.
4. Build with a dedicated project lead
One person owns your project and keeps you updated on a set cadence. Daily cleanup, floors protected, no surprises.
5. Walkthrough & workmanship warranty
We do a final walkthrough together and stand behind the work in writing after we leave.
What we put in writing
- Written proposals with clear scope, not vague estimates
- Milestone payments with no large upfront deposit
- Permits and inspections handled for you
- Written workmanship warranty
Common questions
- Can we live in the house during a whole-home remodel?
- Often yes, with phased sequencing. We will say so when temporary relocation, even partial, makes more sense. Daily cleanup and a named project lead keep the disruption contained.
- How do you prevent scope creep?
- With a written proposal, clear scope, and written change orders. Nothing material changes mid-project unless you approve it in writing first.
