Vaulted living room with a linear fireplace and Bay views

A whole-home remodel is the moment to fix what never worked — the dark hallway, the kitchen that turns its back on the dining room, the bathroom nobody wants to use. We start from how the house is lived in, not from a catalog of finishes.

How we approach it

San Francisco housing stock is its own discipline. Victorians and Edwardians hide balloon framing, knob-and-tube wiring and decades of undocumented additions. Every project starts with a measured survey and an honest read of what is behind the walls, so surprises show up on paper instead of in week six.

From there we plan in layers: structure and systems first, then layout, then finishes. You see a 3D concept before demolition, and a line-item proposal before anything is ordered.

FAQ

Common Questions

Do I need a permit for a whole-home remodel in San Francisco?

Almost always. Any work that moves walls, touches structure, or changes electrical and plumbing requires a permit from the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection. We prepare drawings and handle the submission.

Can we stay in the house during the renovation?

For phased projects, often yes. We seal off active zones and schedule noisy work around your day. For full-gut remodels we usually recommend moving out for the heaviest weeks.

How is the price finalized?

After the walkthrough we give a ballpark range. Once layout and finishes are chosen, you get a fixed-scope proposal with line items, so changes are visible before they cost money.
