A whole home renovation is the most complex project a homeowner can take on — and the one most likely to go sideways with the wrong contractor. Multiple trades, long timelines, dozens of decisions that compound on each other. We’ve built our process around managing exactly this kind of project: one contract, our own crew, our own cabinet shop in Winter Garden, and a project manager who answers when you call.
What’s included in a whole home renovation?
A whole home renovation can mean different things depending on the house and the homeowner. We scope each project individually, but most whole home renovations we do in Winter Garden include some combination of the following:
- Kitchen gut renovation — full demo and rebuild with custom cabinetry from our shop, new counters, new appliances, and updated electrical and plumbing
- Bathroom renovations — master bath, guest bath, and powder room remodels with custom vanities, tile, and fixtures
- Custom cabinetry throughout — built in-house by our craftsmen for every room: kitchen, baths, laundry, home office, closets, and garage
- Flooring — LVP, tile, or hardwood throughout the home, installed by our crew
- Paint and trim — full interior paint, baseboards, crown molding, door casings, and finish carpentry
- Electrical and plumbing updates — panel upgrades, fixture replacements, and rough-in for new layouts
- Room additions and structural work — adding square footage, opening walls, or reconfiguring the floor plan
We scope the project during the consultation and give you a fixed price that covers all of it.
Why one contract beats managing it yourself.
Plenty of homeowners attempt a whole home renovation by hiring trades independently. The logic makes sense on paper: manage your own subs, cut out the general contractor margin. In practice, it rarely works that way.
When you manage trades yourself, you own every scheduling conflict, every accountability gap, and every finger-pointing conversation when something doesn’t align. When your electrician runs behind, the drywaller waits. When the drywaller waits, the painter can’t start. The timeline compresses at the end, and finishes suffer.
One contract means one person is accountable for all of it. That’s us. If a trade runs behind schedule, that’s our problem to solve — not yours. If something unexpected comes up in the walls, we address it without changing your contract price. The whole point of hiring a general contractor is to put one entity between you and the complexity of the project.
What sets our whole home renovations apart.
The biggest differentiator is that we build. Most GCs coordinate subcontractors. We have our own crew — framers, finish carpenters, tile setters — and our own cabinet shop in Winter Garden. That matters because:
- Quality control stays in-house — when our craftsmen build the cabinets and install them, there’s no handoff gap between fabrication and installation quality
- Fixed-price contracts — the number you sign is the number you pay. Surprises mid-project are absorbed by us, not passed to you as change orders
- Single point of contact — one project manager handles every trade, every inspection, every decision point. You don’t talk to six different people to get an answer
- Fully permitted — whole home renovations involve multiple permit types. We pull them all and manage the inspection sequence so nothing is left unpermitted at closing
- 1-year warranty — on all work we perform. If something isn’t right after we hand over the keys, we come back and fix it
How a whole home renovation actually runs.
Most homeowners underestimate the timeline on a whole home project — not because contractors are slow, but because the scope genuinely requires sequencing. Here’s how we run it:
- Phase 1: Scope and contract — we walk the home, document existing conditions, and build a fixed-price scope of work. You know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs before we start.
- Phase 2: Permits and material selection — we file permits while you finalize cabinet styles, countertop materials, tile, fixtures, and flooring. Lead times on custom cabinets are 3–6 weeks, so this phase runs in parallel.
- Phase 3: Demo and rough-in — selective demolition, then mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-in for new layouts. Inspections happen here before walls close.
- Phase 4: Drywall, flooring, and cabinet installation — the longest phase. Cabinets install after drywall is painted, flooring goes in after cabinets, counters after flooring.
- Phase 5: Finishes and final inspection — tile, fixtures, trim, paint touch-ups, appliances, and final punch list. We don’t call a project done until the final inspection is signed and you’ve walked through it with us.
A typical whole home renovation in Winter Garden takes 12–20 weeks depending on scope. We build the timeline into your contract so you know what to expect from day one.
What does a whole home renovation cost in Winter Garden?
Whole home renovation costs in Central Florida vary widely based on scope, home size, and finish level. Most projects we complete fall in these general ranges:
- Focused whole home (kitchen + 2 baths + flooring + paint) — $80,000–$150,000 for a 1,500–2,500 sq ft home
- Mid-scope renovation (above + additions or structural work) — $150,000–$280,000
- Full gut and rebuild — $280,000+ depending on size, materials, and structural scope
The single biggest cost driver isn’t the finish level — it’s scope creep and change orders. Our fixed-price contracts eliminate that variable entirely. The number you sign is the number you pay, regardless of what we find once walls are open.
We provide detailed, itemized estimates after the consultation walkthrough. No ballpark numbers, no ranges with an asterisk — a real number you can use to make a real decision.

Common Questions
Questions about whole home renovations in Central Florida.
Most whole home renovations we complete in Winter Garden take 12–20 weeks from project start to final walkthrough. Timeline depends on scope, permit turnaround, and material lead times — particularly custom cabinets, which run 3–6 weeks. We build the full timeline into your contract before you sign so you know exactly what to expect.
For a full whole home renovation, yes — we strongly recommend it. Living in an active construction zone during a multi-phase project significantly increases timeline and affects finish quality. For partial or phased renovations where major areas of the home remain livable, we’ll discuss the options during the scoping process.
Yes. Whole home renovations typically require multiple permit types — a general building permit plus mechanical, electrical, and plumbing sub-permits depending on scope. We pull all of them and manage the inspection sequence. Every project closes with a final inspection sign-off before we hand over the keys.
Everything we scope in the walkthrough is covered at the agreed price. If we open a wall and find something unexpected — outdated wiring, water damage, structural issues — we address it without issuing a change order for normal project contingencies. We’ll discuss any genuinely unforeseen conditions that fall outside reasonable scope, but we don’t use change orders to pad the contract after you’ve signed.
Our whole home renovation work is residential. For commercial projects — office build-outs, tenant improvements, commercial remodels — see our commercial services page. The process and contract structure is similar; the permitting, code requirements, and scope are different.
