Our Services
Full Home Renovation
Whole-home design-build for the Eastside. Kitchens, baths, structural changes, and finishes — planned and built by one team. Two contracts: preconstruction, then build. No middlemen.
About This Service
Whole-home remodels are where the seam between designer and builder costs the most — change orders compound across rooms, schedules collide, finishes don't match the structure. ERC structures this differently. We start with a preconstruction agreement: design, engineering, and architectural work needed to draw a buildable plan with a real budget. When you approve it, the main construction contract takes it through framing, mechanical, finishes, and the punch list. Same team across both phases. Project managers run the schedule. Lead carpenters run the trim. The result is a renovation where the build matches the renders — not a series of compromises negotiated mid-project.

Common Questions
Full Home Renovation — answered
- How much does a full home renovation cost on the Eastside?
- Whole-home design-build renovations on the Eastside run $450,000 to $1,000,000+ in 2026 — roughly $225 to $500 per square foot for 2,000–4,000 sqft scopes. Premium 3,000–4,000 sqft homes with full layout reconfiguration, structural changes, and luxury finishes routinely exceed $1M. Cosmetic refreshes can come in below.
- How long does a full home renovation take?
- Plan for 6–14 months end-to-end. Preconstruction runs 2–4 months (design, structural engineering, permit packages). Build runs 4–10 months depending on size, structural complexity, and finish levels. Long-lead items (custom cabinets, imported stone) often drive the schedule.
- How does your two-contract structure work?
- First contract is the preconstruction agreement — covers design, structural and mechanical engineering, architectural drawings, and the detailed estimate. Typically 5–10% of total project cost. You see the full scope and number before committing to build. Second contract is the main construction agreement, with the scope, allowances, and schedule locked in. Same team across both phases — no handoffs.
- Can we live in the house during the renovation?
- Sometimes yes, often no. Phased renovations (e.g., first the back of the house, then the front) can let you stay if scope allows. Full gut-and-rebuild projects usually require you to be out for 6–12 months. We map this honestly during preconstruction so you can plan housing.
