Whole-Home Renovations in Mandeville & the Northshore

When more than one room needs to change, the house should be planned as one project — not a string of separate jobs that never quite match. We handle layout changes, structural work, flooring, finishes, and every trade in between, managed start to finish by a third-generation general contractor.

What It Covers

What a Whole-Home Renovation Includes

Every house is different, so every scope is too. Most whole-home projects we take on combine several of these:

Layout & Structural Changes

Removing walls, setting structural beams, and opening closed-off rooms so the house flows the way you live in it.

Kitchens & Bathrooms Together

Renovating the kitchen and baths in one project, with selections planned to work together instead of room by room.

Flooring Throughout

One continuous floor through every connected room — no more patchwork of tile, carpet, and old wood from past updates.

Plumbing & Electrical Updates

Relocating fixtures, adding circuits, and rebuilding lighting plans with recessed LED fixtures where the new layout needs them.

Paint, Trim & Ceilings

Fresh paint, new trim, and ceiling work — including retexturing when an opened-up space needs to read as one room.

Storage & Room Reconfiguration

Turning cramped closets and awkward spaces into rooms that work — real pantries, laundry rooms, and closets.

Adding square footage too? See our home additions.

Why Plan It as One Project

One Plan Beats a Dozen Separate Jobs

01

The Right Sequence

Walls and structure first, then plumbing and electrical, then floors and finishes. Done in the right order, nothing gets torn out twice.

02

One Estimate, One Contractor

A detailed and thorough estimate to prevent cost overruns, and one general contractor accountable for permits, inspections, and every trade.

03

A House That Matches

Floors, paint, trim, and fixtures chosen together, so the finished house reads as one design — not a timeline of updates.

Real Project · Beau Chêne, Mandeville

It Started With One Wall

New luxury vinyl plank flooring running through the renovated Beau Chêne home, Mandeville, LA

The goal was to open the kitchen to the living room. Once the wall came down and a structural beam went in, the rest of the house had to catch up.

We split a cramped pantry-laundry closet into two real rooms, retextured the whole ceiling so the open space matched, repainted the family and living rooms, and replaced old glued-down wood and tile with one continuous floor through every connected room.

Is It Time?

Signs a Whole-Home Renovation Makes More Sense

✓  The kitchen is closed off from where everyone actually spends time

✓  Floors change from room to room after years of piecemeal updates

✓  The kitchen and more than one bathroom all feel dated

✓  You just bought an older home and want it done before move-in

✓  Closets, pantries, or laundry space don’t work for your family

✓  You plan to stay for years and want it right, all at once

Cost

What Drives the Cost of a Whole-Home Renovation

Whole-home projects vary more than any other kind of renovation, because the scope is whatever your house needs. The biggest factors are structural changes like wall removal and beams, how many kitchens and bathrooms are included, how much flooring is being replaced, plumbing and electrical relocation, and the finishes you choose.

You’ll get a detailed and thorough estimate after an in-home walkthrough, so you know the investment before anything starts. For room-level numbers, see our kitchen and bathroom cost guides.

Common Questions

Whole-Home Renovation FAQs

What counts as a whole-home renovation?

Any project that renovates several connected rooms as one plan — for example, opening a kitchen to the living room and carrying new flooring, paint, and lighting through the rest of the house. It doesn’t have to mean every room.

How long does a whole-home renovation take?

It depends on scope. Our Beau Chêne project — a full kitchen renovation with wall removal, plus about 2,000 square feet of new flooring and paint through the connected living spaces — took 8 weeks. You’ll get a realistic timeline for your project at the consultation.

Can we live in the house during the renovation?

Sometimes. It depends on which rooms are being worked on and in what order. We’ll talk through it during planning so you can decide what works for your family before construction starts.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. As a licensed Louisiana residential contractor (License #886155), we pull permits and coordinate inspections with the City of Mandeville and St. Tammany Parish as part of the project.

Can an addition be part of the same project?

Yes. If you need more space as well as updated space, we can plan both together. See our home additions page for more.
