Bathrooms
You found a house with good bones in the right neighborhood — or you’ve lived in yours for twenty years and everything came due at once. A whole home renovation puts kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, trim, and layout changes under one plan, one budget, and one project manager instead of five separate contractors who’ve never met.
The case
Trades get scheduled once. The electrician who wires your new kitchen handles the bathroom the same week. Finishes stay consistent — the same oak floor runs through the house instead of three near-matches from three different years. And you live through construction once instead of losing a room a year for five years.
It’s also cheaper per room. Mobilization, permits, and demolition overlap instead of repeating, which is money that goes into finishes instead of setup. You can see that consistency across the Remington kitchen transformation.
The scope
The anchor is almost always the kitchen, usually with a wall coming down to open it to the living space. From there: bathrooms, custom built-ins and cabinetry through the house, flooring, interior doors and trim, paint, lighting, and often a bonus space — a basement build-out or attic conversion that adds the room the house never had.
Every project starts with a design phase that produces a fixed scope, a fixed price, and a real timeline before demolition begins. You’ll know what you’re getting and when before we touch a wall — read more about how our design and build process works.

Local expertise
Houses inside the beltline and in Raleigh’s older neighborhoods come with quirks: plaster walls, undersized electrical panels, galvanized plumbing, and floor plans built for 1965. We renovate around and through those realities — panel upgrades, re-plumbing, and structural changes are part of the scope, permitted and inspected, not surprises billed at week six.
The anchor
Nearly every whole home project we quote begins as a kitchen conversation that grows — because once the kitchen opens up, the flooring, paint, and trim around it want to follow. Starting from the kitchen is also the right sequencing: it is the most complex room, so its lead times set the schedule for everything else.

Sometimes, in phases — but for full-house projects a temporary move usually costs less than the schedule delays of working around a family. We’ll give you an honest answer for your specific scope.
Most run three to six months depending on scope and structural work. You get a real timeline after the design phase, not a guess on the first phone call.
We handle design in-house for most renovations. Projects with major structural changes bring in an engineer, which we coordinate.
Yes. We can design the whole house once and build it in stages — the design phase is what keeps phased work consistent instead of looking like it was done a room at a time.
Kitchens and bathrooms carry the strongest resale return, and permitted, inspected work protects your appraisal. We’ll flag anything in your plan that’s more personal taste than resale value so you can decide with eyes open.
