Do we have to move out during a whole-home remodel?

For most full renovations, yes — typically for the middle 3–6 months. We work with you up front to plan the sequence so the move-out window is as short as possible.

Can you build an addition or ADU on the same schedule?

Yes. We routinely run additions and detached ADUs in parallel with interior work, so the family moves into the finished home and ADU together. See our casita & ADU page for detached-unit details.

Who handles design and permits?

We do — in-house design or with an outside architect, your choice. Either way Build4U pulls the permits and is the single point of accountability on-site.

What does a whole-home remodel cost?

It varies widely with scope. Most of our whole-home projects in Las Vegas, Henderson and Summerlin land between $350,000 and $1.5M+, quoted after a walk-through.

Investment

Whole-home renovations are quoted after a walk-through. Most projects in the Las Vegas Valley land between $350,000 and $1.5M+ depending on square footage and scope.

Materials we specify

Same standard as our single-room work — rift-cut hardwoods, honed natural stone, integrated luxury appliances — applied consistently across every room so the finished home reads as one project, not five.

A whole-home renovation is fundamentally different from a single-room remodel — not just bigger, but a different kind of project. The sequencing matters across rooms (the kitchen can't go in until the floors are down, the floors can't go in until the painting is done, the painting can't be done until the mechanical is wrapped). The budget moves around as discovery happens during demo. The family has to live somewhere else for 3–6 months. Build4U runs whole-home renovations across Las Vegas, Henderson and Summerlin as one continuous design-build project under a single project manager — one timeline, one budget, one binder of warranties, and one accountable team from demo to handover.

One project manager, one schedule, one accountable team

The hardest part of any whole-home remodel is the coordination — between the kitchen designer, the cabinetry shop, the stone fabricator, the appliance supplier, the structural engineer, the HVAC sub, the electrical sub, the plumbing sub, the tile setter, the painter, the flooring crew, and the homeowner. On most whole-home projects in the Valley, those handoffs are where the schedule slips and the budget goes sideways. We run every whole-home project under one in-house project manager who owns the master schedule, coordinates every trade, and reports to you weekly. You don't have to chase anyone — you have one person to call.

What gets touched in a whole-home renovation

Every whole-home scope is different, but most cover the same core list: kitchen rebuild, two to four bathroom remodels, new flooring throughout, new paint inside and out, refreshed millwork and trim, new lighting and electrical service if needed, HVAC rebalance or replacement, plumbing repair or full re-pipe where the age of the home requires it, exterior refresh or addition. On about a third of our whole-home projects, we're also running a primary-suite addition, a second-story addition, or a detached ADU in parallel — same team, same schedule.

Discovery happens during demo — and we handle it

Every whole-home remodel finds something during demo that wasn't visible during the walk-through: old galvanized pipe, knob-and-tube wiring, asbestos in popcorn ceiling, soft floor framing under a tile shower, an undersized panel, a roof leak that has been quietly soaking the attic for a decade. We build a contingency line into every whole-home budget (typically 10–15%) specifically for this, document everything we find with photos, and bring you a written change-order with the cost and schedule impact before the work proceeds. No surprise invoices at handover.

Sequencing, decanting, and getting back into the house

We sequence the work so the family is out of the house for the shortest possible window — typically 3–5 months on a full whole-home, often less if the scope allows phasing. Long-lead items (custom cabinetry, stone slabs, custom windows, appliances) are ordered the day you sign off on selections so material lead time runs in parallel with permits and demo. The last six weeks of every project are paint, flooring, trim, fixture install, punch list — the phase where the house comes back together quickly. Handover includes a full warranty binder with every spec sheet, manufacturer manual, and care guide.
