Frequently asked questions
How much does a whole home remodel cost?
Cosmetic: $40K–$120K. Mid-range: $150K–$400K. Premium down-to-studs renovations regularly exceed $500K, especially in coastal San Diego.
Should I move out during the remodel?
For cosmetic work, no. For mid-range or down-to-studs scopes, most homeowners move out for at least the first 2–3 months when dust, water, and power are most disrupted.
Will my remodel add resale value?
Kitchen and primary-bath remodels typically recover 60–75% at resale. Full-home cosmetic refreshes recover even more if you stage the home well.
