A whole-home remodel is really a dozen trades in a trench coat: demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, tile, cabinets, flooring, and paint, each depending on the one before it. What keeps it from turning into chaos is a single accountable general contractor who schedules those trades in the right order, pulls the permits, and makes sure every inspection passes before the walls close up. The general contractors in our network run that whole sequence, so you’ve got one number to call instead of ten.

Metro Detroit homes make this especially real. A 1920s Birmingham colonial or a Royal Oak bungalow hides knob-and-tube wiring, plaster walls, and a footprint that predates open-concept living, while a newer Novi or Macomb Township build has its own quirks in trusses and mechanicals. Permits are pulled city by city, and every municipality inspects a little differently. We match you with a home remodel company that already knows how to work in your community and can carry custom home renovations from the first drawing to the final walk-through.

What’s included

One general contractor accountable for the entire project and schedule
Design and drawings, or coordination with your architect and designer
All permits pulled and every municipal inspection scheduled and passed
Licensed, insured trades for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and structural work
Demolition, framing, drywall, and finish carpentry
Kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and whole-home paint under one contract
Final walk-through, punch list, and site cleanup

On a home remodeling project this size, the real risk is a contractor who disappears halfway through or skips a permit to save time. The general contractors we match you with are vetted for licensing, insurance, and a finished-project track record, so one accountable pro owns the outcome.

How it works

Plan & budget

The contractor we match you with walks the whole house, listens to your priorities, and turns them into a realistic scope and budget before anything is torn out.

Design & permits

Drawings are finalized, selections are locked, and the permits are pulled with your municipality so the work is legal and inspected from day one.

Demo & rough-in

Old finishes come out, then framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC go in and pass rough inspection before any wall is closed.

Build & finish

Drywall, cabinets, tile, flooring, trim, and paint go in on schedule, with the GC sequencing each trade so nothing sits idle or gets redone.

Inspect & hand off

Final inspections are passed, the punch list is cleared, the site is cleaned, and you walk the finished home before you sign off.

Home Remodeling: common questions

How long does a whole-home remodel take?

Most whole-home renovations run three to six months of active work, and larger or phased projects stretch to nine months or more. Design, selections, and permitting happen before demolition and add several weeks up front. The contractor we match you with gives you a schedule tied to your actual scope, not a generic guess.

Do I have to move out during the remodel?

It depends on the scope. Many homeowners live through a phased remodel by keeping a working kitchen and bathroom while other areas are gutted. A full gut with the utilities down usually means moving out for part of it. Your general contractor will tell you honestly which one your project is.

Who pulls the permits?

The general contractor does, in your municipality, and schedules every inspection. That matters: unpermitted work can stall a future home sale and void an insurance claim. Every contractor in our network pulls permits as standard, never as an upsell you have to ask for.

Can I remodel just part of the house now and the rest later?

Absolutely, and it’s often the smart move. A good GC can phase the project so the plumbing, electrical, and layout decisions made now don’t have to be undone later. We match you with contractors who plan for the whole house even when you build it in stages.
