Interior of a house stripped to the wood studs during renovation

For older and distressed homes

Full gut renovations

Some houses need more than new paint. For older or damaged homes, we take the interior down to the frame and rebuild: layout, structure, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and every finish.

When a house needs a full renovation

  • Original systems from the 1950s to the 1970s: wiring, cast-iron drains, galvanized supply lines
  • Foundation movement, water damage or fire damage
  • A closed-off layout that does not suit how people live now
  • Additions or reconfigured rooms that need structural changes

From plans to finished home

Full renovations are planned with architectural and structural drawings, permitted, and built with licensed contractors. We manage the project ourselves from purchase to final walkthrough, so decisions are made quickly by the people paying for them.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need permits for a gut renovation in Austin?

Generally, yes. Structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work in the City of Austin requires permits and inspections. Other cities have their own rules.

How long does a full gut renovation take?

It depends on the size of the house, the scope and the permit timeline. We plan each project individually and do not promise a fixed duration.
