The Scope

What a whole-home remodel involves.

A whole-home remodel is not a longer list of small jobs. Walls move, systems are replaced and every room is affected by the work in the next one. The order of work matters: rough plumbing, electrical and mechanical go in and are inspected before they are covered, and finishes follow.

We work from your architect or designer's drawings and engineer's calculations, price the whole scope in writing, and run the build as one project with one set of permits.

Demolition and protection of the areas that stay
Framing changes, with structural coordination
Rough electrical, plumbing and mechanical
Insulation, drywall, windows and doors
Kitchens and bathrooms inside the same scope
Flooring, tile, millwork and paint
Inspections at each stage
Punch list and closeout documents

What a full kitchen remodel involves.

The visible parts of a kitchen, cabinets, counters and tile, sit on top of the parts that decide the schedule: where the plumbing and gas run, what the electrical panel can carry, where the range hood vents and whether a wall can come out. Those are settled first, then finishes follow.

We price the whole scope in writing, coordinate with your designer on selections and lead times, and run the project through permits, inspections and closeout.

Demolition and dust protection for adjacent rooms
Wall removal or openings, with structural support when needed
New circuits, lighting and code-required outlets
Plumbing and gas relocation, hood venting to the exterior
Cabinetry, countertops and backsplash
Flooring, paint and trim
Appliance coordination and installation
Inspections and closeout

What a full bathroom remodel involves.

A bathroom is a small room with a long list of trades: demolition, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, tile, glass, ventilation and finish carpentry, all in a few square feet and in a strict order. A shortcut under the tile does not show until it fails.

We price the full scope in writing, state what we assume about the existing plumbing and subfloor, and run the work through permits, inspections and closeout.

Demolition down to the framing and subfloor
Repair of framing and subfloor where needed
Plumbing relocation and new supply and drain lines
Shower and tub waterproofing
Tile, stone and glass
Exhaust ventilation to the exterior
Lighting, outlets and heating
Vanity, fixtures and finishes

What renovating an older house involves.

Victorian and Edwardian houses were built with tall ceilings, narrow lots, shared walls and framing methods that differ from modern practice. Systems were added or altered over time, and what is in the walls rarely matches a single set of drawings.

We start with a careful site review, price the scope in writing with assumptions stated, and plan how original details, such as millwork, plaster and wood windows, are protected, repaired or replaced to match.

Careful demolition and protection of original details
Testing and handling of lead and other hazardous materials where present
Structural repair and reinforcement as designed by your engineer
Rewiring, re-plumbing and new mechanical systems
Repair and restoration of millwork, plaster and wood windows
Kitchens and bathrooms updated within the older building
Exterior repair, paint and trim
Inspections and closeout
