How long does a whole home remodel take?
The duration of a whole home remodel depends on the project’s complexity. Structural work or additions such as a second-story expansion or added floor space require new footings and framing, which extend the timeline. Non-structural remodels, including kitchen, bath, and flooring updates, typically take about two months after design completion. The design phase itself may last one to three months, with weekly planning sessions for each space. Even seemingly simple updates, like adding an island, can involve electrical, gas, or plumbing changes. Your designer will guide you through these details to optimize cost, function, and overall project efficiency.
Can we remain living in our home during a whole home remodel?
You can often remain in your home during a whole home remodel, and many clients choose to do so. However, certain phases may require you to relocate temporarily. When your designer advises this, it’s typically to improve efficiency, control costs, and maintain a safe work environment. If staying in your home is a priority, communicate this early. Your designer can adjust the project plan to support that goal, though it may limit some design flexibility. Many homeowners take advantage of this time to relax or stay with family while their home is being reimagined and built to their vision.
What type of value engineering do you provide when doing a whole home remodel?
As a design-build remodeling firm, Potomac Haus unites your designer, architect, estimator, and project manager under one roof.

With complete alignment across your project team, you gain full visibility before construction begins.
