How Long Does Whole-House Remodeling Take?

Whole-house timelines depend on scope: cosmetic updates throughout take 2–4 months, full renovations touching the kitchen, bathrooms, and systems run 4–8 months, and gut renovations with structural changes can take 8–12+ months. We build a phased schedule with milestones up front — including permit windows for each trade — and keep it updated weekly so you always know what happens next.

What Should Maryland Homeowners Know About Whole-House Remodeling?

Whole-house projects in Howard County require separate building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits through DILP, each with their own inspections. Anne Arundel County's Office of Inspections and Permits runs a similar but distinct process. Original Columbia and Annapolis homes from the 1960s–1970s often have lead paint on trim and may contain asbestos in floor tiles, pipe wrap, or popcorn ceilings — EPA RRP-certified renovation practices and licensed asbestos abatement apply. We include environmental testing in the pre-renovation assessment so demolition surprises don't derail the schedule.

Whole-House Remodeling FAQ

What is included in a whole-house remodel?

A coordinated renovation of 3–6 rooms or the whole home under one contract: typically the kitchen, one or more bathrooms, flooring throughout, paint, lighting and trim, plus system work such as a panel upgrade or plumbing replacement. PRG manages every trade, the Anne Arundel County or Howard County permits and the schedule so the phases happen in the right order.

How much does a whole-house renovation cost in Maryland?

In Anne Arundel and Howard County cosmetic updates throughout a home (paint, flooring, fixtures, lighting) run $50,000–$100,000; a mid-range renovation with a new kitchen, two bathrooms and updated systems runs $150,000–$300,000; and a high-end gut renovation of an older home with an addition runs $300,000–$500,000+. Older homes often add a $2,500–$5,000 200-amp panel upgrade.

How long does a whole-house remodel take?

Cosmetic updates throughout take 2–4 months; a full renovation touching the kitchen, bathrooms and systems takes 4–8 months; and a gut renovation with structural changes takes 8–12+ months. In Howard County each trade permit through DILP adds 2–4 weeks of review up front, and Anne Arundel County runs 1–2 weeks. PRG publishes a phased schedule with those windows before demolition.

Can I live in my house during a whole-house renovation?

Usually yes for cosmetic and phased projects, and usually no for a full gut. PRG sequences the work so one bathroom and a temporary kitchen stay usable, seals active zones with plastic barriers and negative-air fans, and cleans daily. For gut renovations with structural work in Anne Arundel or Howard County, most homeowners move out for the 3–5 month core phase.

Do you handle permits for major renovations?

Yes. Howard County DILP requires separate building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits for a whole-house renovation, each with its own inspections; Anne Arundel County Inspections and Permits runs a similar process. PRG prepares the drawings, files every permit under MHIC #113057, schedules each inspection and delivers the closed permits at the final walkthrough.

What hidden problems do you find in older Maryland homes?

In 1960s–1970s Columbia and Annapolis homes PRG routinely finds 100-amp panels, galvanized or lead-soldered supply lines, lead paint on trim and asbestos in floor tile, pipe wrap or popcorn ceilings. Homes built before 1978 fall under EPA RRP lead-safe rules, and asbestos needs licensed abatement. PRG includes environmental testing in the pre-renovation assessment so demolition does not stall the schedule.

Is it cheaper to remodel the whole house at once or room by room?

At once. One mobilization, one permit set, one dumpster and one crew sequence typically save 10–20% against doing the same rooms over several years, and finishes match because they are chosen together. Room by room spreads the cost and the disruption. For Anne Arundel and Howard County homes needing a kitchen plus two baths, a single 4–8 month project is usually the lower total.
