A complete plan to remake a home: layout, systems, exterior and finishes designed as one project.
Many Nashville homes have good bones and a layout that no longer fits. A whole-home renovation can open rooms, bring in light, update systems and refresh the exterior, but it works best when it is planned as a whole instead of room by room. Doing so avoids ripping out new work to fix something that should have been planned first. Homeowners call us to plan renovations of older bungalows, ranches and traditional homes.
We start with a Free Estimate and a careful look at the house, its condition and how you want it to work. We measure the home, document what is there and explore how the plan could change. We then develop a design that covers layout, structure, systems, windows, exterior and finishes, and prepare drawings for pricing and permits. We work with your builder through construction.
Layout, systems and finishes are designed together, which saves money and prevents rework.
We look at structure, moisture, wiring and plumbing early, so budget decisions are informed.
Original character, good materials and sound structure are preserved where they add value.
If the budget requires it, we sequence the work so each phase stands on its own.
