Whole-Home Remodeling in Alpharetta, GA

When a whole-home remodel makes sense

Doing several projects together usually costs less than doing them one at a time, because demolition, dumpsters, permits, trade mobilization and floor transitions are handled once. It is common when buying an older home before moving in, when a 1990s or 2000s house needs kitchen, baths and flooring updated together, or when a layout no longer works for the household.

Typical scope

• Opening walls between kitchen, dining and family rooms.
• Kitchen and one or more bathrooms.
• Continuous flooring across the main level.
• Lighting, electrical panel or circuit updates where needed.
• Interior doors, trim, stair railings and paint.

Cost planning

Living at home vs. moving out

Some families stay in the house while work moves room by room. Others move out for the heaviest phases. Staying home is possible with phasing and dust barriers, but it lengthens the schedule. We help you decide based on the scope, kitchen downtime and how many bathrooms stay usable.

How we keep a large project organized

You get a written scope, a phased schedule and regular updates. Selections are made before the trades need them, so work is not held up waiting on materials. Inspections are scheduled at each required stage.

Real-world context

About 76 percent of Alpharetta homes were built from 1980 to 2009, according to U.S. Census Bureau survey data. Homes of that age often reach the point where the kitchen, baths, flooring and some systems need updating at the same time, which is when a whole-home plan saves money and disruption.

Block Renovation publishes whole-home renovation costs of roughly $167 to $218 per square foot for renovated areas. Your project cost depends on how much of the house is included and the finish level.

Key takeaways

• Combining projects reduces repeated demolition, permits and trade visits.
• Make selections early to avoid delays.
• Plan phasing to decide whether you can live at home.
• Include a contingency for older-home surprises.

Neighborhood notes

In many Alpharetta neighborhoods built in the 1990s, homes share similar floor plans: a two-story foyer, formal living and dining rooms in front, a kitchen and family room in back, and bedrooms upstairs. A common whole-home plan opens the kitchen to the family room, converts the formal living room into an office, runs one continuous floor across the main level, and updates the primary bath upstairs. Because these plans repeat, we can often anticipate where ducts, plumbing vents and beams will be, which helps keep estimates accurate.

Should I update windows at the same time? If windows are original and drafty, coordinating replacement with interior work avoids redoing trim and paint later.

Can I phase the work over two years? Yes. A phased plan lets you spread cost, though some work such as flooring transitions is easier to do in one pass.

Will my HVAC handle an open floor plan? Removing walls can change air flow. We review supply and return locations during planning.
