Whole-Home Remodeling in The Paseos, Summerlin NV

Almost every Paseos whole-home we run begins with the same conversation. The house was bought five or ten years ago by an owner who has now lived in it long enough to know exactly what doesn't work. The formal living room is never used. The walled kitchen feels disconnected from where the family actually spends time. The primary bath looks like a hotel from 2003. The textured walls, the heavy oil-rubbed bronze hardware and the tumbled-travertine accents read as dated. The remodel is the chance to fix all of it at once.

The structural move in a Paseos whole-home is always the kitchen wall. On the most common Paseos floor plans the wall between the kitchen and the family room is load-bearing because the second-story floor joists span onto it. We engineer a flush LVL — or on longer spans a flitched steel beam — pocketed into the existing top plates so the finished ceiling reads as one continuous plane between the old kitchen and the family room. Where the formal living room sat at the front of the house, we usually convert it to a study, a music room or a wine-and-bar space, and re-orient the foyer to feed directly into the new great room.

The kitchen itself gets rebuilt around a single 10–12 foot island, almost always perpendicular to the back-yard glass so the cook is facing out. Perimeter cabinets push to the ceiling as full-height storage and integrated panels for a Sub-Zero column refrigerator and freezer. Appliance packages here trend Wolf for cooking, Sub-Zero for refrigeration, and a paneled Miele dishwasher hidden into the island. The primary suite gets rebuilt as one project at the same time: bath rebuilt as a wet room with a freestanding tub, custom closet with island, and usually a small coffee bar tucked into the entry from the bedroom.

The finish brief is consistently the same — strip the Tuscan. We skim-coat the textured walls flat, swap the heavy hammered-iron handrails for simple painted-steel pickets or full glass, replace every interior door (typically with 8-foot single-panel shaker doors), and re-base in a flat 5" or 7" baseboard with simple casing. Floors usually move from travertine to wide-plank European white oak. Hardware shifts from oil-rubbed bronze to brushed nickel, polished nickel or matte black depending on the palette.

Permitting and HOA: The Paseos sub-HOA and the Summerlin Council both review exterior color, roof material, window openings and any addition footprint. Almost every Paseos whole-home we run touches the exterior somewhere — usually a new back-yard sliding-door opening or a re-stuccoed exterior wall — so we plan a 3–5 week ARC review window before submitting to City of Las Vegas Building & Safety. Interior-only scope (kitchen, baths, finishes) can be permitted in parallel.

Schedule and budget: a full Paseos whole-home runs 9–14 months on-site with selections and design front-loaded over 3–5 months before demolition. Most projects land $650,000–$1.4M depending on square footage (the Paseos plans range from roughly 3,000 to 5,500 SF), cabinet builder, stone selection and whether structural moves include a new back-of-house glass wall. Living-in-place is generally not realistic on a full whole-home; most owners relocate for the on-site phase.
