A full home renovation is a complete restoration of an entire house. The need to do a full home renovation can vary with each homeowner. Quite often homeowners who have lived in one house for many years are interested in upgrading or remodeling simply due to the age of their home. Other homeowners may be looking to rejuvenate an older construction in an appealing well established neighborhood. Whatever your reason to renovate, remember that through engineering anything is possible with a full home renovation.
A large benefit to a complete reno is the opportunity to remodel and redesign an existing layout. Because a full home renovation is more involved with most of the home’s original interiors and exteriors stripped away, there is an opportunity to make big changes. Dated historic homes with small rooms can be transferred on to open floor plans for modern living.
Edmonton is a growing City that is getting bigger and growing outward. There are so many classic well built homes with solid “bones” that are ideal to be renovated and restored. New home construction focuses on mass produced quickly constructed houses in communities located on the outer edge of the city. Some homeowners don’t enjoy the idea of living further out from the city’s core. Suburban living is not for everyone. For these people a full home renovation provides a great alternative. Live close to the action near the heart of the city while still enjoying the benefits of a newly renovated quality built home.

“Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.” ― Pablo Picasso
After the work has been approved the unneeded parts of the house can be demolished and the old building materials and structure are removed and properly disposed of.
As the old unwanted portions of the house have been removed we then begin rebuilding. New walls and structure are built to accommodate the new floor plan and design.
With the new walls and structure in place we then install and run all the new electrical, plumbing, HVAC and gas lines. After rough in for each trade is complete an inspection is carried out by the City of Edmonton for each respective trade.
With all the rough in completed and inspected it’s time to close off the walls. Drywall is put up on the walls and ceilings. Extra care and attention to detail is needed at this stage. The better the drywall installation the less mudding and taping that will be needed before paint.
After the walls are covered with drywall and the taping has had its final sanding; it is time to prime, paint and finish the rooms with flooring, trim, doors and any additional fixtures. This is the last large step in the process and where you get to see your vision come together.

Because a complete custom home renovation brings the home up to date in its entirety a full home reno will always add value to the home.

This creates inconsistency in the home’s style and look. This is unappealing to potential home buyers. Homes that are updated as a whole don’t have this issue. And are far more appealing to prospective buyers.
