Full House Remodeling in Austin
Reworking an entire house is a different exercise from renovating rooms one at a time. Plan, systems and finishes get decided together, priced together, and built on one schedule, which is both cheaper and considerably less disruptive than three separate projects over five years.
- Pricing
- Fixed price after design
- Scheduling
- Planned for your house

What is included.
- Full existing-conditions survey and new floor plans, with structural engineering where required

What is not.
- Landscaping, pools and site work beyond what construction requires

- Detached structures, which fall under Additions and ADUs
We publish the exclusions because they are where surprises live. Anything on this list that you want included becomes part of the scope and part of the fixed price.
Where the number comes from
What pushes the cost up, and what brings it down.
Pushes it up
- Moving the kitchen or stacking bathrooms differently, which reroutes everything below
- Removing multiple load-bearing walls or raising ceilings
- Foundation leveling before finishes can go in
- Historic review requirements on the exterior
- Window and door replacement across the whole envelope
Brings it down
- Keeping the existing plumbing walls and stack locations
- Phasing the project so you move out once rather than living through it
- Holding the existing footprint instead of adding square footage
- Consistent finishes across rooms instead of a different scheme in each

Questions
Full House questions we get most.
Do we have to move out?
For a true full house renovation, generally yes. We will tell you that at consultation rather than letting you discover it during demolition.
Can the project be phased?
Sometimes, but phasing usually costs more in total because trades mobilize repeatedly. We will price both if it helps you decide.
How do you keep a project this size on schedule?
A published schedule before we start, one lead carpenter on the house throughout, and a written update every week that states plainly whether the finish date moved.
Tell us about your project.
Send us the basics and we will follow up with a clear, honest sense of the budget for what you have in mind. If we are not the right fit, we will say so quickly.
