What qualifies as a whole-home renovation?

A whole-home renovation involves coordinated construction work across multiple areas of a home, often including structural changes, system upgrades, and interior reconfiguration managed under a unified construction plan.

Do whole-home renovations require permits?

Yes. Whole-home renovations typically require permits and inspections, especially when work involves structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical modifications.

Is cabinetry planned during the renovation process?

Yes. Cabinetry is planned early in the renovation process to ensure proper alignment with framing, electrical layouts, appliance specifications, and overall construction sequencing.

Whole-Home Renovations by a Licensed General Contractor

At MDI Custom Homes, whole-home renovations are managed as comprehensive construction projects—not a collection of room-by-room updates. We coordinate structure, systems, finishes, and permits under one disciplined plan so the entire home works together.

Full-Scope Whole-Home Renovations and Structural Changes

Whole-home renovations require early planning, accurate sequencing, and professional oversight. We commonly manage:

Interior reconfigurations and wall removal
Structural modifications and load transfers
Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC upgrades
Drywall, flooring, and finish carpentry
Permit coordination and inspections
Kitchen and bathroom renovations within the larger scope

If your renovation touches multiple systems, it needs a single construction plan—not fragmented trades.

Whole-home renovations are best suited for homeowners planning long-term occupancy and significant structural or layout changes.

Design-Build Whole-Home Renovations

Unlike contractor-only remodels, our approach blends planning and execution from day one.

We help homeowners:

Evaluate layout, flow, and long-term usability
Identify structural and mechanical constraints early
Align kitchens, bathrooms, and cabinetry before construction
Control costs through disciplined scope definition

Whole-home renovations fail when decisions are made late. We front-load planning so the build phase stays efficient, predictable, and clean.

Cabinetry is planned as part of the construction process—not selected after the fact.

Wall framing and backing are coordinated
Electrical and lighting placement is aligned
Appliance specifications and clearances are verified
Installation sequencing is controlled.
