Whole Home Remodeling in Ashburn, VA

Sometimes, but it depends on scope. If the kitchen, all bathrooms, and major systems are being torn out at once, most families move out for at least part of the project. For phased renovations where we can keep one bathroom and a temporary kitchen functional, living in place is realistic. We will tell you honestly during planning which option fits your project.

Plan on 6 to 12 months of construction for most whole-home projects, plus 2 to 4 months of design and permitting before the first demolition day. Larger homes, structural work, and custom millwork push timelines toward the upper end. We build a detailed schedule before work starts and update it weekly.

Kitchen, bathrooms, flooring throughout, interior paint, trim and doors, lighting, and often new windows are standard. Most projects also include updates to HVAC, plumbing, and electrical since walls are already open. We frequently handle layout changes, new openings, and staircase updates as part of the same scope.

Yes. Opening up floor plans is one of the most common requests on whole-home projects. We work with a structural engineer on any load-bearing wall, install the correct beam and posts, and manage the rework of any utilities running through that wall. The result looks clean with no dropped soffits unless you want them.

We guide you through selections in a set order so decisions stack logically and the look stays cohesive across every room. Cabinets, counters, and tile come first, then flooring, plumbing fixtures, lighting, and paint. You visit showrooms with our selection list in hand and we review choices together before they are locked in.

In Northern Virginia, most whole-home renovations fall between $250,000 and $800,000, with larger or higher-end projects going past $1 million. The spread is driven by square footage, how much is being replaced versus refreshed, and finish level. We build a detailed line-item estimate so you know exactly where the money goes before signing a contract.
