Whole-Home Remodels That Harden the House Too
When the walls are open for a remodel, it is the right time to replace the vents, glazing and cladding as well. We plan the inside and the outside as one job.
One project, both sides of the wall
A full remodel already touches windows, insulation and often the exterior finish. Folding the wildfire upgrades into that scope costs less than doing them later as a separate job. We list which hardening items ride along and which are optional.
Layout, systems and finishes
Kitchens, baths, floors, wiring, plumbing and heating can all change in one remodel. We sequence the work so the structure and exterior come first, then the systems, then the finishes.
Living there during the work
Some whole-house projects can be phased so part of the house stays usable. Others move faster in an empty house. The scope settles which way yours goes.
Full Home Remodeling: questions
With a walk-through of the house, inside and out. We write a scope that covers the rooms, the systems and the exterior assemblies in one document.
When the work replaces exterior walls, windows or vents in a fire hazard zone, the new parts must meet the wildfire code. We include those items in the scope.
From the written scope, line by line. We price once we have seen the house and agreed on what is included.
