Whole Home Renovation FAQs
Common questions about whole home renovations with SBS Builders
How long does a whole home renovation take?
A comprehensive whole home renovation typically takes 4 to 8 months, depending on the scope of work, structural modifications, and material selections. We create a detailed project schedule during planning and maintain clear communication throughout to minimize surprises and keep the project on track.
Can I live in my home during the renovation?
It depends on the scope of the project. For partial renovations affecting specific areas, living on-site is often possible with some adjustments. For whole home renovations involving structural changes, plumbing, or electrical work throughout, we typically recommend temporary relocation for safety and efficiency. We discuss logistics during planning to help you prepare.
How do you determine the scope of a whole home renovation?
We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your goals, lifestyle needs, and budget. Our team conducts a thorough assessment of your home's structure, systems, and potential, then develops a comprehensive plan that balances your vision with practical considerations. We provide transparent recommendations and detailed cost breakdowns so you can make informed decisions.
What is the difference between remodeling and renovating?
Remodeling typically involves changing the structure or layout of a space (e.g., removing walls, reconfiguring rooms), while renovating focuses on updating and restoring existing spaces without major structural changes. Whole home renovations often include both—modernizing finishes and systems while improving flow and functionality through strategic layout adjustments.
Will my home's character be preserved during a renovation?
Absolutely. We approach every renovation with respect for your home's existing architecture and character. Our goal is to elevate and enhance what makes your home unique while integrating modern functionality and refined finishes. We work closely with you to ensure the result feels cohesive, intentional, and true to your vision.
How do you handle unexpected issues during renovation?
Even with thorough planning, older homes can present unforeseen challenges—outdated wiring, hidden structural issues, or code compliance needs. We address these proactively with clear communication, detailed explanations, and transparent cost adjustments. Our experience allows us to anticipate many issues in advance and plan accordingly.
