Whole-home renovation - addressing multiple rooms or systems together - is significantly more efficient than doing them separately over years. One mobilization, one design effort, one permit, one set of crews, one finish-out. The 10-30% premium for doing it all at once is more than offset by the savings vs doing the same scope as 4-5 separate projects.
When Whole-Home Makes Sense
(1) Recently bought a Brevard home that needs significant updates and you want to be done with construction before moving in. (2) Major life change (kids growing up, downsizing, aging-in-place planning) and several rooms need to change. (3) Older home (30+ years) where multiple systems are aging out simultaneously - electrical panel, plumbing, HVAC, flooring, kitchen, bath all reaching end-of-life. (4) Inheriting a property and bringing it up to current standards.
Whole-Home Project Cost Tiers
Light whole-home (paint, flooring, fixtures, light kitchen/bath updates): $50,000-120,000. Medium (significant kitchen + bath + flooring + paint + some electrical/plumbing): $150,000-300,000. Heavy (full kitchen + multiple baths + structural work + systems replacement): $300,000-750,000+. Luxury whole-home: $500,000-1.5M+.
Whole-Home Timeline
Light: 3-4 months. Medium: 4-6 months. Heavy: 6-10 months. Luxury: 9-18 months. We sequence work in zones so you can sometimes occupy half the house while we work on the other half.
Sequencing Strategy
Critical order matters. Floors go in after walls are done and before final trim. Kitchens come after major plumbing/electrical rough-in. Bathrooms are most disruptive so we batch them. We map the entire sequence at proposal time so you know what's happening each week.
