Can You Live in Your Home During a Whole-home Renovation?

ometimes—depending on scope and how the project is phased.

Often possible with a phased plan if:

You have multiple bathrooms

The kitchen can be temporarily functional or you’re okay with a temporary setup

The work can be zoned (main floor first, bedrooms second, etc.)

Often better to relocate temporarily if:

Structural changes impact multiple areas at once

Kitchens + multiple bathrooms are remodeled simultaneously

Significant system upgrades require frequent shutdowns

How Long Does a Whole-home Renovation Take?

Most whole-home renovations take several months, depending on scope, permitting, lead times, and whether additions/system upgrades are included.

Milestone table (example)

Planning + scope definition: 2–4 weeks

Design + selections: 3–8 weeks

Permits/preconstruction (as needed): 2–8+ weeks

Construction (whole-home): 8–20+ weeks

Final punch + walkthrough: 1–2 weeks

Whole-home Renovation vs. Remodel — What’s the Difference?

Electrical panel/wiring improvements (where needed)

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you provide whole-home renovations in the Denver Metro Area?

    Yes—Denver and surrounding metro cities. Share your location and we’ll confirm availability. 

  • How long does a whole-home renovation take?

    Most projects take several months depending on scope, permits, lead times, and whether additions or major system upgrades are included. 

  • How much does a whole-home renovation cost in Denver?

    Costs vary by scope and finish level. Many homeowners plan using cost-per-square-foot lanes, then refine based on your exact scope and selections. 

  • Can I live in my home during the renovation?

    Sometimes. It depends on scope and whether we can phase work by zones. Larger structural or multi-room projects may be easier with temporary relocation. 

  • Do you handle home additions as part of a whole-home project?

    Yes—additions can be integrated into the renovation plan so the old and new spaces feel seamless. 

  • Do whole-home projects require permits?

    Often, yes—especially when the project includes structural changes, major electrical/plumbing work, HVAC changes, or additions. We’ll guide what applies. 

  • What rooms should I prioritize for ROI and daily impact?

    Kitchens, bathrooms, and main living flow usually deliver the biggest daily-life improvement, especially when paired with better lighting and storage. 

  • What drives delays on whole-home remodels?

    Late design decisions, material lead times, permit/inspection timing, and scope changes after demolition. 

  • How do you keep the design cohesive across the house?

    By planning finishes and selections as a whole-house package (floors, trim, paint, fixtures, lighting, and key materials) rather than choosing room-by-room. 

  • What should I prepare before the consultation?

    Your priorities, a few inspiration examples, whether you want layout changes, and any known concerns (old wiring, plumbing, insulation, windows).
