Whole-House Remodel FAQs

Do I need an architect for a whole-house remodel?+

If the project involves structural changes (removing load-bearing walls, second-story additions, foundation work), yes. For straightforward multi-room remodels without structural reconfiguration, a designer is usually sufficient. We work with several Twin Cities architects and can recommend one.

Can I live in my home during a whole-house remodel?+

Sometimes. If we can phase the work room by room, yes. For full-floor gut renovations or projects with major HVAC/electrical work, most homeowners move out for 8-16 weeks. We help plan the phasing and temporary housing logistics during pre-construction.

How long does a whole-house remodel take?+

Two-room scope projects run 12-20 weeks on-site. First-floor conversions run 16-28 weeks. Full whole-home gut renovations run 6-14 months depending on scope. Add 4-12 weeks of design + material lead time before construction starts.

What is the markup on a whole-house remodel?+

Reputable Twin Cities general contractors charge a 15-25% overhead and profit margin on top of direct cost. On a $300,000 whole-house remodel, that means roughly $45,000-$75,000 of the total goes to project management, insurance, warranty, and overhead. Lower than that range typically means corners are being cut.
