Full Home Renovations
Transform the Home You Have Into the One You Want
Whole-Home Renovation & Design-Build Services
There are times when a home’s location is perfect, but the house isn’t. Maybe it’s outdated, poorly laid out, or simply doesn’t reflect your current lifestyle. Maybe you love the neighborhood, and the property is too valuable to walk away from. If a teardown isn’t feasible, and the structure has “good bones” worth preserving, a whole-home renovation may be the ideal solution.
If you’re debating whether to renovate or rebuild, we can help you evaluate your options. In some cases, a full gut-and-redesign renovation may be the smarter, more cost-effective choice—especially if the location or land holds unique value, such as a waterfront property or acreage.
If you’re considering a major renovation, you’ll need a builder who can bring both creativity and construction expertise to a highly complex process. From reconfiguring layouts and updating structural or mechanical systems, to exterior transformations and full interior redesigns, the firm you choose should use a design-build approach to ensure every detail is executed with care.
We offer large-scale home renovations on a highly selective basis—not simple kitchen or bathroom remodels, but complete gut-and-redesign projects that reimagine and modernize a home from the inside out. Because large-scale renovations of this nature are highly complex and time-intensive, we are very selective in the projects we choose to be a part of.
If you’re in a great location, but the house no longer works, we’d love to hear more. We can help you evaluate your options and determine whether a full-home renovation with Charter Bay is the right path forward.
FAQs
A large-scale renovation typically involves a complete reimagining of the home—from reconfiguring layouts and updating structural and mechanical systems, to full interior and exterior transformations. These are not kitchen or bathroom updates, but full gut-and-redesign projects that often affect most, if not all, of the home’s square footage.
In a design-build renovation, one firm handles both the design and construction, streamlining communication, budgeting, and accountability. At Charter Bay, we work closely with you throughout the process—from concept to completion—ensuring that the vision and execution remain aligned every step of the way.
That depends on your goals, the condition of the existing structure, and the value of your property. In some cases, a full-home renovation may be more cost-effective and allows you to preserve the features you love, like a waterfront setting or acreage, without starting from scratch. We can help you evaluate your options and determine the best path forward.
Yes. We have extensive experience modernizing older and historic homes. These projects have unique challenges, such as lead paint and asbestos, and require careful planning and a deep understanding of both design and construction. These types of remodels are ideally suited to our design-build approach.
The timeline can vary depending on the complexity and scope of the project, but expansive, large-scale renovations may take anywhere from several moths to more than a year from design through completion. Because we work on a limited number of projects at a time, you receive our full attention throughout.
If you’re looking for a complete home transformation, rather than a partial remodel, and your property has unique value (location, history, architectural interest), we’d love to hear from you. We take on a very limited number of large-scale renovation projects each year to ensure the highest level of craftsmanship and care.
Costs can vary widely depending on the size of the home, scope of the renovation, and level of finishes selected. Most of our full-home renovation projects fall into the high six-figure to million dollar range. Once we understand your goals, we can provide a budget range and help you make informed decisions every step of the way.
In most large-scale or gut renovations, living in the home is not feasible due to the extent of the work being done. We’ll help you plan around this, including timing and logistics, so the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
We’re not general remodelers—we specialize in design-build, large-scale renovations with a high degree of complexity and customization. You’ll work directly with the owner throughout the process, and we take on only a select number of projects at a time to ensure each one receives our full attention.
Yes. As a design-build firm, we guide you through every phase—from architectural design to selecting finishes, fixtures, and interior details.
