Whole-home remodels are some of the most rewarding work we do — and some of the most demanding. The home you bought ten years ago doesn't fit the family you have now. The neighborhood you love still does. A whole-home remodel is the answer that lets you stay where you want to live and end up in the home you've always wanted.
We approach a whole-home remodel with the same trade partners, the same finish standards, and the same Branka-and-Edmir on-site weekly attention as our $2M new builds. The result lives at that level too.
What's typically included
- Layout reconfiguration — moving walls, opening floor plans, repositioning kitchens or stairs
- Full kitchen renovation
- Primary suite + bath rework
- Secondary bath updates
- Flooring, paint, trim throughout
- Lighting + electrical updates to current code
- HVAC and mechanical refresh as needed
- Exterior facade updates if the project warrants
- Optional: addition or second-story build (see related services)
Typical timeline
Whole-home remodels typically run 9 to 16 months from contract to move-back-in. Design + permits is 2-4 months, construction is 7-12 months. Many clients move out for the construction phase or live in part of the home while we work in zones — both are workable.
Cost considerations
Whole-home remodels at MIR scale typically run $200-$350 per square foot of remodel scope — less than new construction in some ways (no foundation, no exterior shell), more in other ways (working around existing structure, demolition, surprise discoveries inside walls). The cost guide in our resources section breaks this down further.
What makes our approach different
Most remodelers run a separate "remodel team" with different standards and different trade partners than their new-build team. We don't. The same craftsmen who built last year's signature custom home are the ones reworking your kitchen. That's why the result lives at the same level.
How to start a conversation
Schedule a consultation. We'll walk through your home with you, listen to what's not working, and tell you honestly what we'd recommend — including whether a whole-home remodel makes more sense than a targeted renovation or, in rare cases, building new on a different lot. The honest answer is the only one worth giving.
