Whole-home renovations in Knoxville
A whole-home renovation takes a house down to what is worth keeping and rebuilds the rest to a plan and a budget. One team carries it from the first walk-through to the last punch list item.

A whole-home renovation touches most of the house at once: layout, kitchen and baths, flooring, trim, lighting, and often the plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems behind them. Some jobs keep every wall where it is and replace finishes. Others open up rooms, move a kitchen or rework how the house flows.
Doing the work together, rather than one room every few years, lets the systems be planned once. Plumbing gets routed for the final layout, electrical is sized for how you will use the house, and finishes match from room to room.
We walk the property with you and talk through what you want done, room by room. You get a written estimate, and no work starts until you have signed off on the scope and price. The contract sets the scope and schedule in writing.
During the build, your project team sends progress updates every week, so you know what was done, what is next and any decisions waiting on you. At the end we do a final walk-through together. Nothing is finished until every item on the punch list is.
The biggest factors are the size of the house and how much of it changes. Removing or moving walls, especially structural ones, adds framing and engineering work. Moving plumbing or relocating a kitchen costs more than keeping fixtures where they are. Finish choices, from cabinetry to tile to flooring, make a large difference across a whole house.
Condition matters too. What is behind the walls is not known until they are open, and permits and inspections are part of the plan for the job. We talk through all of this in the estimate so the number reflects the house you actually have.
Many homes around Knoxville, Fountain City and Bearden were built decades ago and have been updated piece by piece since. Opening the walls can turn up old wiring, undersized framing, past water damage or patched plumbing. We plan for that possibility from the start and tell you what we find before it changes the work. In crawl space homes, moisture below the floor is checked and handled before new floors go down.
It depends on scope. A finish-level refresh moves faster than a house that is opened to the studs and replumbed. Your schedule is set in the contract, and the weekly updates show where the job stands against it.
Sometimes, depending on scope. If the kitchen and every bathroom are out at once, most families stay elsewhere for part of the job. We talk through how the work can be sequenced during the estimate.
We stop, show you what we found, and explain the options and what each one changes in price and schedule. Nothing outside the signed scope moves forward without your sign-off.
Most whole-home work involves permits and inspections. They are handled as part of the plan for the job, and we discuss what your project needs in the estimate.

An addition gives you more house without leaving the neighborhood you chose. We build new rooms, second stories and extended footprints that match the house they join.
