Whole Home Remodeling

Transform your entire Jacksonville home with my comprehensive whole-home remodeling services. Whether you've outgrown your current layout, purchased a fixer-upper, or simply want to modernize every aspect of your living space, I coordinate all trades and timelines to deliver a cohesive renovation that reflects your lifestyle.

Typical Northeast Florida Range

$100K–$400K

Final number depends on your specific scope, finishes, and site conditions. I'll quote the exact figure after a walk-through.

Why

Whole-home is the right move when you keep saying 'we'll do that next year.' Doing it once means one move-out, one inconvenience window, one subcontractor schedule — instead of five years of partial mess.

What

Floor-plan reconfiguration, full electrical + plumbing modernization, HVAC evaluation, kitchen + bathrooms, flooring throughout, windows, paint, exterior work as needed.

How

Phased schedule so you can stay in part of the house if it works. Otherwise we take the whole envelope and finish in 10–18 weeks. Project meeting weekly with written agenda + decisions log.

Whole-home remodels stall on indecision. I run them with a written decisions log so we don't loop back twice on the same question — schedule sticks because decisions stick.

Open Floor Plan Conversions

Bring your Jacksonville home into the modern era by removing walls and creating an open, flowing layout perfect for today's lifestyle. Combine your kitchen, dining, and living areas into one cohesive space that's ideal for family gatherings and entertaining.

Typical Northeast Florida Range

$30K–$90K

Final number depends on your specific scope, finishes, and site conditions. I'll quote the exact figure after a walk-through.

Why

Walls block the way you actually live now — kitchen separated from family room, dining room nobody uses. Open floor plan is the highest-ROI structural change for older Jacksonville-area homes.

What

Structural assessment, load-bearing wall removal with engineered beam (LVL or steel), flooring transitions, ceiling work to hide the beam where possible, lighting + HVAC reconfiguration.

How

Engineer signs off on the beam first. Demo and beam install is 3–5 days; finish work (flooring, ceiling, paint) 2–3 weeks. We brace before any wall comes down — never improvised.

Wall-removal jobs go wrong when nobody verified what's load-bearing. I get an engineer's stamp before anything comes down. Permits require it; safety actually requires it.

Home Office Conversions

With remote work becoming increasingly common, having a dedicated, professional workspace at home is more important than ever. I convert spare bedrooms, unused dining rooms, garage space, or other areas into functional home offices tailored to how you work.

Typical Northeast Florida Range

$15K–$50K

Final number depends on your specific scope, finishes, and site conditions. I'll quote the exact figure after a walk-through.

Why

Hybrid and remote work means a real home office is now a permanent fixture — not a temporary corner of the dining room. Built right, it pays back in productivity and Zoom-call dignity.

What

Built-in desk and storage, dedicated electrical circuits, task + ambient lighting, soundproofing for video calls, network + cable management, optional separate entrance for client meetings.

How

I'll measure your equipment footprint before designing built-ins. Most office conversions are 2–4 weeks. Soundproofing happens during framing — adding it after is twice the cost.

Home offices fail at acoustics. Drywall + insulation alone aren't enough for video calls — I add resilient channel and acoustic batt where it matters.

Outdoor living space in Jacksonville

Outdoor Living Spaces

Extend your living area beyond your walls and take advantage of Jacksonville's wonderful climate with custom outdoor living spaces. I design and build covered patios, screened porches, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, decks, and comprehensive outdoor entertainment areas.

Typical Northeast Florida Range

$25K–$120K

Final number depends on your specific scope, finishes, and site conditions. I'll quote the exact figure after a walk-through.

Why

Florida weather is the reason you live here — a real outdoor living space turns the backyard into a year-round room. Properly built, it's used 9 months of the year, not 3 weekends.

What

Covered patio or screened porch, outdoor kitchen rough-in (gas/electric/plumbing), pergola or shade structure, composite or wood decking, weatherproof outlets + lighting + ceiling fans, optional fire feature.

How

Foundation + framing 1–2 weeks; cover and electrical 2–3 weeks; finishes and outdoor kitchen install 2–3 weeks. Permit pulls vary by county — Clay vs. St. Johns paperwork differs.

Outdoor kitchens fail in Florida humidity. I spec marine-grade stainless and proper venting because cheap outdoor kitchens look bad after the first summer.
