Whole-Home in Pittsburgh

Full renovations managed from first sketch to final walk-through.

Our Approach

How we think about whole-home.

Whole-home renovations are about sequencing. Every trade in the right order, every decision front-loaded into design so the build can flow without pauses. Our project managers run these with the same discipline a commercial GC brings to a hotel fit-out.

Investment Range
$250K+
Typical Duration
16–36 weeks on site
Investment by Scope

What it costs, by how deep we go.

Three real cost tiers for a whole-home project of typical size at mid-range finish level. Use the investment range tool to refine for your specific size and selections — every project is different, and so is every quote we issue.

Same layout, new finishes.

  • Full electrical re-run and panel upgrade if needed
  • All-new cabinetry, surfaces, mechanicals

Ranges shown are planning numbers — not quotes. The actual number for your home depends on what we find behind the walls, your specific selections, and the geometry of the existing space. The conversation starts with a 30-minute walk-through.

Frequently Asked

Questions we hear
every week.

Do we need to move out?+
Usually yes, for safety and speed. We can phase most projects, but whole-home scopes with roof, mechanical, and floor work happening concurrently are faster and cheaper if the house is empty.
How do you price a whole-home project?+
In two stages. A preliminary investment range after the first walk-through, then a firm number after schematic design. We don’t do lump-sum quotes until we know exactly what we’re building.
Can you work with our architect?+
Absolutely. About half our whole-home projects come through architect partners. We build to their drawings and coordinate RFIs directly with their office.
What happens when we disagree with an architect decision?+
We surface the tradeoff — cost, time, or constructability — and the three of us resolve it together. Our job is to build what you’ve decided, but we’ll flag things we see coming.
