Question 1

How much does a full home renovation cost in Pennsylvania?

Accepted Answer

Full home renovations in Pennsylvania typically cost $50,000–$250,000+ depending on the home's size, age, and scope of work. A cosmetic whole-house refresh (paint, flooring, fixtures) runs $30,000–$60,000. A mid-range renovation with kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring averages $80,000–$150,000. A full gut renovation of a 2,000 sq ft home runs $150,000–$250,000+. We provide free estimates with phased options if you want to spread the work over time.

Question 2

How long does a whole-house renovation take?

Accepted Answer

Whole-house renovations typically take 3–8 months depending on scope. A cosmetic refresh (paint, flooring, fixtures throughout) takes 6–10 weeks. A mid-range renovation (kitchen, bathrooms, flooring) takes 3–5 months. A full gut renovation takes 5–8 months. We create a detailed phase schedule so work is coordinated efficiently and you know what to expect each week.

Question 3

Can I live in my home during a renovation?

Accepted Answer

It depends on scope. For targeted renovations (one kitchen or bathroom at a time), most homeowners stay home. For full gut renovations — especially when plumbing, electrical, and HVAC are being replaced — temporary housing for 4–8 weeks is often more practical and helps the project move faster. We help plan the logistics and can phase work to minimize displacement when possible.

Question 4

Do you handle design for whole-house renovations?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we offer design-build services where our team handles both design and construction. This eliminates the coordination gap between architect and builder, keeps budgets more accurate, and speeds up the process. For larger projects, we collaborate with independent architects and designers of your choice. Either way, you get a clear design plan before construction starts.

Question 5

Is it cheaper to renovate or build new?

Accepted Answer

Renovating is typically 20–40% less expensive than new construction for equivalent square footage, and you keep your lot and location. Renovating makes the most sense when: the home's structure is sound, you love the location, and the layout mostly works. New construction makes sense when: the structure has major issues (foundation, framing), you need a completely different layout, or demolition plus rebuild is comparable in cost. We can evaluate both options during a consultation.
