Whole-Home Remodeling
Some homes need more than one room changed. Our whole-home remodeling in Maryland and Washington, D.C. reconsiders layout, flow, and detail across the entire house and runs it as a single project, so every room is finished to the same standard.
Approach
One plan for the whole house.
Remodeling a house one room at a time often means opening the same walls more than once and living with details that never quite agree. A whole-home project starts with the house as a whole: how you move through it, where the light comes from, which rooms go unused, and what the structure and systems can support.
With a larger scope, the sequence matters as much as the design. We plan the phasing with you, including whether you will stay in the home and which areas must stay usable at each stage. Heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical work is planned across the house at once rather than patched room by room.
The detail carries through. Stair halls, built-ins, trim profiles, and the way materials change from room to room are drawn as one set. The projects shown here include a remodeled staircase in Rockville and a custom library and stair hall in Potomac.
In Design
Resolved before construction
- Layout & flow
- Which walls move, how rooms connect, and how the house is used day to day.
- Phasing
- The order of the work and which parts of the home stay usable at each stage.
- Living in place
- Access, protected areas, and how your household lives in the house during the work.
- Systems
- Heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical planned for the whole house together.
- Detail
- Stairs, built-ins, trim, and material transitions kept consistent from room to room.
What's Included
What's included in a whole-home remodel
A whole-home remodel often takes in a kitchen, one or more bathrooms, and sometimes the lower level, all inside one design and one schedule. All of it is drawn, priced, and scheduled together, with one point of contact for the whole house.
Because every room is priced at the same time, you see the whole budget before work starts and can weigh one room against another. Selections are sequenced so each decision is made ahead of when it is needed on site.
Over a longer project, a predictable rhythm matters, and each stage is described on Our Process. Learn more about iBuild on the About page. To begin with a conversation about the whole house, start your project.
Questions
Whole-home questions, answered plainly
By the full scope: how much of the layout changes, the condition of the structure and systems, how many kitchens and bathrooms are involved, and the finish level throughout. No two houses are alike, so we price your house rather than an average.
Some homeowners stay, with the work phased around them; others move out for part or all of the project. It depends on the scope and your household, and we work through the options with you during planning.
One project usually avoids repeated disruption and details that don't match, but stages can make sense for budget or family reasons. Either way, planning the whole house first means each stage fits the finished result.
By planning the sequence across the house and reviewing progress against it. Our communication and change-approval commitments are set out in Why iBuild.
