Complete renovation of every room, surface, and system - one contractor, one timeline, one finished home
For homeowners who want to transform their entire home in one coordinated project. Kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, electrical, plumbing, paint, and finish work all delivered as a single managed renovation.
Why Whole-Home
Most remodeling projects start as one room and grow. A bathroom remodel reveals the flooring is dated. The kitchen update exposes that the cabinets clash with the new bathroom finishes. The painter discovers the trim everywhere needs replacing. Three years and five contractors later, the homeowner has spent more than a single coordinated project would have cost - with mismatched results.
Whole-home remodeling solves this by treating the entire home as one project from day one. One designer coordinates finishes across rooms. One general contractor sequences trades efficiently (no trade waiting on another, no rework). One material order captures volume pricing. One permit cycle. One timeline. One signature on the final.
The result is a finished home that reads as one cohesive design - because it was designed and built that way - typically 15-25% cheaper than the same scope delivered as a series of one-off projects.
What's Included
A whole-home remodel with ELSO Contracting can include any combination of the following. We scope the project to match your priorities and budget.
Process
Phase 1: Discovery (1-2 weeks). Site walkthrough, scope definition, photo and measurement collection, initial budget alignment. We learn what you want, what you don't, and what budget feels right.
Phase 2: Design (3-6 weeks). Detailed scope, materials selection (cabinets, tile, flooring, paint colors, fixtures), layout decisions, and final pricing for each tier. You receive a 3-tier proposal with line-item detail. Once you sign, materials are ordered.
Phase 3: Pre-Construction (2-4 weeks). Permit applications submitted (if ELSO is handling), final material delivery scheduled, subcontractor calendars locked, demo prep. You finalize protect-or-pack decisions for furniture and belongings.
Phase 4: Construction (8-20 weeks for typical whole-home). Demo first, then rough-in (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), then drywall and tile, then cabinetry and millwork, then finishes (flooring, paint, trim, fixtures), then punch list.
Phase 5: Closeout (1 week). Final walkthrough, punch list resolution, final inspection, warranty registration, project documentation handoff.
Common Questions
Whole-home remodels in Brevard County typically range from $75,000 for a smaller home with mid-range finishes to $500,000+ for a large luxury home with premium finishes throughout. A typical 1,800-2,400 sq ft home with kitchen, 2 bathrooms, flooring, and paint runs $150,000-$275,000.
It depends on scope and your tolerance for disruption. For projects under 12 weeks with at least one functional bathroom and kitchen at all times, most clients stay. For full gut renovations or projects with simultaneous kitchen + only-bathroom work, most clients move out for the most disruptive phases (typically 4-8 weeks). We help you plan around it.
A typical whole-home remodel in Brevard County takes 12-24 weeks of active construction depending on scope. Major moving parts include lead times for cabinets (4-10 weeks), windows (4-8 weeks), and special-order tile or stone (variable). Permitting can add 2-6 weeks if required.
Yes, but it usually costs more total than a coordinated single project. If budget requires phasing, we typically sequence as: Phase 1 - mechanical updates (electrical, plumbing, HVAC). Phase 2 - kitchen and bathroom remodels. Phase 3 - finish work (flooring, paint, trim). This minimizes rework between phases.
Design-build means one company handles both the design and the construction. Most architects and designers create plans then hand off to contractors who may or may not be able to build to those plans within budget. Our design-build approach means the team that designs your renovation is the same team that prices and builds it - no surprises at bid time, no value-engineering crisis when reality hits the original design.
For most projects, yes, with planning. We sequence work to keep at least one bathroom and the kitchen functional through most of the project. Demo and rough-in phases (typically weeks 1-4) are the most disruptive - you may want to be elsewhere during these. After that, you generally can live around the work for the remainder.
Whole-home remodel ROI in Brevard County typically runs 60-80% of investment recouped at sale. Higher-impact components (kitchen, master bath, curb appeal) recoup more (often 75-100%). Lower-impact (paint, minor flooring) recoup less. The real return is in livability over the years you keep the home, plus an above-market sale price when you do list.
