Luxury Whole-Home Remodels
Whole-home remodels from $250K, planned and priced as one project, built by one crew, with photo updates you can see from anywhere.
Most remodel budgets don't break. They get broken.
Luxury remodels rarely blow up because of one big mistake. They blow up from dozens of small decisions nobody priced before demo started: a selection here, a structural surprise there, until the number you signed up for doesn't mean much anymore.
That's the part most contractors never walk you through before you commit.
Our free planning guide shows you exactly what separates a remodel that stays on budget from one that doesn't, before you sign with anyone.
Every decision priced before the first wall comes down
Before a single wall comes down, we run a full design-to-budget process: every material, every design detail, and every structural question we can reasonably anticipate, priced against your budget in advance.
How it works
-
01
Phone consultation
We talk through your vision, property, timeline, and budget. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.
-
02
Site visit
We walk the lot or the home with you: access, utilities, setbacks, and anything that will drive cost.
-
03
Design & Pre-Construction Agreement
A paid planning phase before any construction contract. Our architects and engineers develop the design while we analyze the site and price every major decision against your budget. This is where the Alturas and Cubero savings came from.
-
04
Your proposal
One overall price to build, with separate allowances for the materials you select.
-
05
Build
Our in-house crew and the same vetted trade partners on every job, with real-time photo updates through your client portal and bi-weekly field reports.
-
06
Keys and after
Punch list, final clean, warranties, manuals, and documentation handed over together.
You always know what's happening, what it costs, and why, even managing it from out of state.
What a whole-home remodel covers
The whole house, planned as one project: layout, structure, electrical and plumbing systems, finishes, kitchens, and primary suites. Every room is designed together, so the house reads as one home when we're done.
We also take on a limited number of kitchen and primary-bath remodels each year when the scope and finish level are the right fit.

What clients and partners say
“Nick and everyone on his team are just simply the best. He gave us a magical bathroom and also helped out with new wood-trimmed windows and doors. Everyone was super kind, super fast, and really skilled. Nick's passion for his job shows, and it made the process really personal and fun. So happy with the results!”
