Whole home remodeling with one plan for every room,
in the right order.
When the kitchen, the baths and the floors all need work, doing them one at a time means paying to open the same walls twice. A licensed supervisor walks the whole house and sends a written estimate in three scopes within 24 hours, sequenced room by room.
List the rooms that bother you in a text. A whole-home supervisor replies within 5 minutes during business hours and books a walk-through.

What happens after you text us
A supervisor asks for the whole list. Then puts it in order.
Homeowners usually start with the room that annoys them most. The first exchange collects the full list, asks which rooms you cannot live without, and ends with a walk-through date and an estimate date.
- One supervisor for every room, from plan to punch list
- Your list sorted by what must happen first, not what is loudest
- Walk-through and written estimate dated before the chat ends
Hi, we closed on a split-level last month. Kitchen is dated, both baths are pink tile, and the carpet has to go. Where do we even start?
Hi Amanda, Chris here, I run whole-home projects for ProBuild Remodeling. You start by not doing the floors first. Can you send one photo of each bathroom and tell me if the house has a basement or a crawlspace?
Photos sent. It has a basement. Why not the floors first?
Because the bath plumbing runs through that basement ceiling and the kitchen work will scuff anything new. We do the wet rooms first, floors last. I can walk it Sunday at 11 and send three priced scopes by Wednesday.
That makes sense. Sunday at 11 works. Can we live there during it?
Most families do. We keep one bathroom working at all times and set up a small kitchen station. See you Sunday.
What a whole home remodel costs
A whole home remodel costs $60,000 to $450,000. The number of wet rooms decides most of it.
Prices assume a 1,500 to 2,500 square foot house with mid-range materials. Kitchens and bathrooms cost several times more per foot than bedrooms and living rooms, so the scope count matters more than the square footage.

Kitchen and baths take half the budget. The other rooms share the rest.
Averages from recent multi-room remodels. The wet rooms carry the cabinets, tile, plumbing and fixtures, which is why adding a bedroom to the scope moves the price far less than adding a bathroom.

All at once or in phases
Do it all at once when you can move out or the rooms connect. Phase it when cash or daily life cannot stretch.
One continuous project costs less because walls, dust protection and crews are set up once. Phasing costs a little more but spreads the payments and the disruption. At the walk-through we check six things and write down which path fits your house.
| If this is true | We recommend |
|---|---|
| The house is empty or you can stay elsewhere | All at once |
| You need a working kitchen every day | In phases |
| Rooms share plumbing or walls being moved | All at once |
| Savings arrive over the next year or two | In phases |
| You just bought the house and have not moved in | All at once |
| One room is urgent and the rest can wait | In phases |
How long it takes
A multi-room remodel takes three to five months, sequenced so you always have a bathroom.
A refresh takes 6 to 10 weeks, a remodel with layout changes 5 to 8 months. Work moves from the rough, messy trades to the clean ones, so finished rooms are not damaged by the work still going on.
Before day one
Plan and sequence
Whole-house walk-through, three scopes, selections for every room, permits. Four to eight weeks.
First month
Demolition and rough-in
Rooms opened in planned order, plumbing and wiring updated behind the walls, inspections passed.
Middle months
Wet rooms and cabinets
Bathrooms and kitchen built one after the other, so there is always one bath and a cooking station.
Final weeks
Floors, paint, walkthrough
Floors laid through the house last, then paint, trim and one punch list walkthrough for every room.
Remodeling concepts
Whole home remodeling: conditions and possibilities.
AI-generated examples of existing conditions and remodeling possibilities. Each image is a separate concept, not a documented transformation of the same home.
What runs through your whole house
Finishes are chosen together, so the house reads as one home, not six projects.
The risk in a multi-room remodel is a house where every room looks like a different year. We plan the floor, the trim, the fixtures and the paint as one set, and name each product in your estimate.
Continuous flooring
Engineered oak from brands like Mohawk or Shaw, or waterproof LVP from COREtec, run through the main rooms without breaks.
Matched trim package
One door style, one casing and one baseboard profile through the house, in primed MDF or poplar, painted the same white.
Plumbing fixture finish
One faucet line from Moen, Delta or Kohler in one finish for the kitchen and every bath, so the house feels planned.
Interior paint system
Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore low-VOC paint in a coordinated palette, with scrubbable finishes in halls and kids' rooms.
Lighting plan
LED recessed lights, dimmers and fixtures chosen room by room from one plan, so color temperature matches from space to space.
Doors and hardware
Solid-core interior doors from Masonite or Jeld-Wen with one hardware line throughout, which quiets rooms and feels solid.
Written into every contract
Six promises you can hold us to.
The approved price is the final price. Change orders only with your written approval.
A credit for every working day of delay we cause. Weather and inspections excepted, in writing.
Dust barriers, floor protection and a clean-up before we leave. Your home stays livable.
A text or email every working day with photos and tomorrow's plan, or the day is free.
Workmanship warranty in writing, transferable to the next owner, backed by a fixed address.
A small deposit, then you pay only for work that is already completed, inspected and photographed.
Who runs your remodel
One supervisor for every room, so nothing falls between two contractors.
The value of one contract is one person accountable for the order of work. You meet the supervisor, the lead carpenter and the designer before demolition, and they stay through the last room.
Whole-home supervisor
Sequences every room, runs inspections and sends daily updates.
Lead carpenter
Handles walls, cabinets, doors and trim in every room of the plan.
Designer
Keeps finishes consistent and helps you choose for all rooms.

Your house is not average
Your house and your plans are different. Here is how the estimate follows them.
Every whole-home remodel starts from the same three scopes, then changes with the house, the budget and how you will live during it. Pick the case that sounds like yours.
Just bought the house
The weeks between closing and moving in are the cheapest time to remodel several rooms, because nobody is living around the work. We plan the scope before closing so the crew can start within days of getting the keys.
Plan my remodel before we move inRoom by room over time
When the budget arrives in stages, we still write one plan for the whole house with a price for each phase. Each phase sets up the next, so nothing new gets torn out and the rooms end up looking like they belong together.
Plan my whole house in phasesLiving there with kids
With children at home, we keep one bathroom and a cooking station working at all times, seal work areas with zip walls and finish the kids' rooms early so bedtime stays normal while the rest of the house is torn up.
Plan a remodel we can live throughAn older house
Older homes often need wiring, plumbing and insulation updates that no single-room remodel would fix. The whole-home estimate names each system, what code requires once walls open, and what can wait for a later phase.
Price updates for my older houseSelling within two years
Buyers pay for a house that feels finished throughout. We scope the rooms that move the appraisal most, keep choices neutral and skip upgrades a buyer would not pay for, so the budget goes where the sale price follows.
Price a pre-sale whole-home updateStaying in the house for good
A whole-home plan is the moment to widen doors, add a curbless shower, lever handles and brighter lighting in every room at once. It looks like a normal remodel and saves a second project in a few years.
Plan a whole home for staying putA fixed total budget
Give us the number and we build the scope to fit it: which rooms get a full remodel and which get a refresh. We show where the money moves value most and where a cheaper finish looks the same from the doorway.
Fit a whole-home plan to my budgetPets in the house
Dogs and cats need a safe room while doors are open and crews move in and out. We set up a closed pet zone, keep gates at work areas and choose floors and finishes that stand up to claws after the crew leaves.
Plan a remodel around my petsWhat this service is
Whole home remodeling, defined the way we quote it.
Whole home remodeling is the renovation of several rooms of an occupied or newly bought house, typically the kitchen, bathrooms, floors and finishes, planned as one project with one contract, one schedule and one supervisor. ProBuild Remodeling performs it as a licensed general contractor, sequencing the trades so no wall or floor is opened twice.
The service covers three levels: a refresh of paint, floors and fixtures across the house, a multi-room remodel of the kitchen and baths with new floors, and a remodel that moves walls and updates systems. Rooms keep their studs and most of their structure. Taking the house down to the studs is a gut renovation, and adding square footage is an addition, each with its own page.
It is for families who just bought an older house, owners who have put off several rooms for years, and couples preparing a house to stay in or to sell. It is not for one-room projects, which cost less as a single remodel, or for houses with failing structure or systems throughout, where a gut renovation is the honest recommendation.
The words you will see on your whole-home estimate
- Scope of work
- The written list of every room and task in the project. Anything not listed is not in the price, and we say so.
- Sequencing
- The order in which rooms and trades are scheduled, so rough work never damages finished work and a bath always works.
- Wet rooms
- Kitchens, bathrooms and laundry: the rooms with plumbing. They cost the most per square foot in any remodel.
- Selections
- Every finish you choose, from flooring to faucets. Chosen before work starts so nothing waits on a decision mid-project.
- Zip wall
- A floor-to-ceiling plastic dust barrier with a zipper door that keeps the work area sealed from the lived-in rooms.
- Phase
- A section of the project with its own price and dates. Phases let you pay for and live through the work in parts.
- Service upgrade
- Increasing the power the utility delivers to the house, often from 100 to 200 amps, for a modern kitchen and baths.
- Punch list
- The final list of small corrections, room by room, agreed at the walkthrough and finished before the last payment.
Questions we hear on every whole-home call
The eight questions people ask before remodeling several rooms.
How much does it cost to remodel a whole house?
For a 1,500 to 2,500 square foot house, a refresh of paint, floors and fixtures usually runs $60,000 to $120,000. Remodeling the kitchen and two baths plus floors runs $120,000 to $250,000, and adding layout changes $250,000 and up.
Is it cheaper to remodel the whole house at once?
Usually 10 to 20 percent cheaper than the same rooms done as separate projects years apart. Protection, dumpsters, permits and crews are set up once, and walls opened for plumbing or wiring are opened only one time.
Can we live in the house during a whole home remodel?
Most families do for a refresh or multi-room remodel. We keep one bathroom and a cooking station working, seal work areas with zip walls and clean daily. For layout changes across the house, a few weeks away is often easier.
What order should rooms be remodeled in?
Messy and structural work first, clean work last: wiring, plumbing and walls, then kitchen and baths, then floors and paint. That order protects finished rooms and keeps one bath running throughout.
How long does a whole home remodel take?
A refresh takes 6 to 10 weeks, a multi-room remodel 3 to 5 months and a remodel with layout changes 5 to 8 months. Planning, selections and permits take four to eight weeks before work begins.
What is the difference between a whole home remodel and a gut renovation?
A whole home remodel updates rooms while keeping most walls, ceilings and systems. A gut renovation strips the house to its studs and replaces wiring, plumbing and insulation throughout. We tell you which one your house needs at the walk-through.
Can we split the whole home remodel into phases?
Yes. We write one plan for the whole house with a price for each phase, so every step fits the next. Phasing adds some cost for repeated setup but lets you spread payments and disruption over months or years.
Do we have to choose every finish before you start?
Yes, for the rooms in the current phase. Choosing flooring, tile, cabinets and fixtures up front is what lets us give a fixed price and keep the schedule, because nothing waits on a decision or a back-ordered item.
