Whole Home Remodeling · South Jersey
Most whole-home remodels begin because of a handful of homeowner frustrations. Here are the two we hear most often, and how we solve each one.
You bought the house, but the choices inside it were made by someone else. The kitchen is from one decade, the bathrooms from another, and the finishes look like a patchwork of every owner who came before you.
You may have lived in the home for years and slowly updated one room at a time. Or maybe you just moved in, and the previous owner’s taste is on every wall. Either way, the home does not feel like yours yet, and renovating one room at a time only makes the rest of it look more dated by comparison.
We approach a whole-home remodel the same way we approach a single room: with a plan that ties everything together before construction begins. That means kitchen and bathroom designs that share a design language, flooring that flows across the same level, staircase upgrades that anchor the whole home, and consistent paint, trim, and doors throughout.
The finished home doesn’t feel like a series of small renovations stitched together. It feels like a home designed at one moment in time, tailored to how you live in it now.
The walls are in the wrong places. The kitchen is closed off from where everyone congregates. There is no real space for a home office, a gym, or a quiet room to retreat to. The home’s footprint is fine, but the layout was designed for a household that doesn’t match yours, and rearranging furniture hasn’t helped.
We rework the layout so the home actually fits your household. That can mean opening walls between the kitchen and the gathering space, restructuring rooms to create a dedicated office or gym, optimizing space you stopped using, or designing dedicated lounges and primary suites that feel separate from the everyday flow of the home.
We work the design out fully in 3D renderings before construction begins, so you can see how the new layout will function before we touch a single wall.
Whole-home remodels are among the most involved projects we take on. The project below shows the kind of multi-room coordination we bring to whole-home work.
A kitchen and bathroom remodel for a family that wanted both spaces brought up to the same standard. While not a full whole-home project, it shows the design coordination, finish consistency, and structural problem-solving we bring to multi-room work — including opening the kitchen layout by removing a structural column.
Lifestyle Design + Remodel was built around the parts of remodeling that other contractors get wrong. Here is what we do differently.
From design through construction and final walkthrough, you work with a dedicated team that knows your project inside and out. We are here for more than the construction phase, we aim to build lasting relationships with homeowners who trust us with their homes again and again.
Most remodels go over budget because too many decisions are made after the work begins. Our project development phase locks in the layout, materials, and pricing before a single wall comes down. You get a fixed-price agreement, 3D renderings of your finished space, and a client portal where you can track every decision, document, and update from start to finish.
We guide our clients with full transparency. We simplify the decisions in front of you, set realistic expectations, and never push upgrades you do not need. The goal is to help you make good calls about your home, not to talk you into a bigger project.
Construction does not have to take over your life. Our team shows up in marked vehicles and company apparel, cleans up at the end of every day, and uses zip-wall systems to keep dust contained. Project managers carry no more than three or four jobs at a time, so your remodel gets the attention it deserves.
Whole home pricing depends on whether you are remodeling a single level or the entire house, the scope of structural changes, and the materials you choose. The tiers below are starting points based on our most common multi-room and whole-home projects. Final pricing is always defined in writing during your project development phase.
A one-level remodel that brings a single floor of the home up to a unified standard. Best for homeowners who want a cohesive renovation across the rooms they use most, without taking on the full house at once.
– Kitchen or bath remodel with minor layout changes
– Full design coordination and material upgrades across the project area
– Staircase redesign
– New flooring throughout the level
– Fresh paint and trim
– Upgraded electrical and plumbing fixtures
A multi-level remodel that brings the entire house, or most of it, up to one design standard. Best for homeowners ready to renovate multiple bathrooms, the kitchen, and the major living spaces in a single coordinated project.
– Whole house or multi-level remodel
– Multiple bathrooms
– Kitchen upgrades with premium finishes
– Minor layout changes
– New flooring, trim, and paint throughout
– Upgraded electrical and plumbing fixtures
– Staircase redesign
A fully custom whole home remodel with structural changes, premium materials throughout, and the highest level of design detail. Best for homeowners who want the entire home reimagined around how they live, with no compromise on finishes or layout.
– Whole house or multi-level remodel with custom layouts
– Multiple bathrooms, kitchens, and basements
– All Elevated features included
– Premium materials throughout
– Structural changes (load-bearing walls, footprint expansions)
Every whole-home project includes 3D renderings of the finished spaces, a fixed-price build agreement, and confirmed start and completion dates before construction begins.

Every project follows the same proven path. Here is what to expect from the first phone call to the final walkthrough.
This is a quick call for us to learn what you are thinking about, followed by a site visit to see the space in person. No pressure, no sales pitch.
We come back with a clear scope, a conceptual layout, and an investment range so you know what your project is likely to cost before you commit to anything beyond a conversation.
Once you decide to move forward, we finalize the layout, walk through the materials with our vendor designers, deliver 3D renderings, and lock in a fixed-price build agreement with confirmed start and completion dates.
Our team works on daily cleanup, weekly check-ins, and a clear schedule you can follow in JobTread. When the job is done, we walk through every detail with you, hand over your warranty packet, and stay available long after the project closes out.
Most of our clients ask some version of these. If yours isn’t here, give us a call — we’re happy to talk before you’re ready.
Most of our whole-home projects take between 8 and 16 weeks, depending on the scope of the work. A foundational one-level remodel typically lands in the eight to twelve week range. An elevated multi-level remodel takes ten to twelve weeks. A premier whole-home remodel with structural changes takes 12 to 16 weeks. We confirm your finalized start and completion dates during the project development phase, before construction begins.
For most whole-home remodels, yes. The scope of work involved typically makes it impractical to live in the home during construction. We will discuss the timeline, scope, and whether any rooms can be staged separately to allow partial occupancy during specific phases of the build. These decisions are settled during the project development phase, so you know exactly what to expect before construction begins.
Taylor and Ryan lead the layout and design work directly, the same way they do for any single-room project. For material selection, we work with the designers at our preferred vendors who help you choose finishes, cabinetry, tile, lighting, and plumbing fixtures across every room in the project. You receive 3D renderings of every finished space before construction begins, so you can see how the rooms will work together before any work moves forward.
The point of our project development phase is to settle every decision before construction starts, which is especially important on whole-home projects where one decision affects multiple rooms. Change orders are rare on our projects. If something does come up during the build, we walk you through the options, the cost, and the schedule impact in writing before any work moves forward.
For projects that involve load-bearing walls, footprint expansions, or other structural changes, we bring in a structural engineer or architect during the design phase. This is built into the project timeline and the fixed-price build agreement, so there are no surprise costs once construction begins.
Yes. We file for all permits during the production phase, before materials arrive on site. Whole-home projects typically require multiple permits for electrical, plumbing, structural, and mechanical work, all of which we manage and coordinate so you do not have to.
Every whole-home project includes a two-year warranty on our installations, plus the manufacturer’s warranties on the products and materials we use.
