Major Renovations
A renovation done right improves how your home works, how it feels, and what it’s worth. We manage the full scope, so you’re never left coordinating a revolving door of contractors on your own.
Accountability
One senior point of contact
A dedicated senior contact who owns the outcome from the first conversation through Commissioning.
Pricing
Cost Plus, open-book
Every invoice, subcontractor bid, material cost, and approved change is visible as it happens.
Warranty
36-month workmanship
Three times the Utah standard, measured from Commissioning.
Small by Design
A limited number of projects
We take on the work we can give our full attention. When a project isn’t the right fit, we’ll point you to a builder or trade partner who is.
What we build
Renovating a home you’re living in is one of the most disruptive things a homeowner goes through. Your builder either keeps that disruption down or makes it worse, through poor scheduling, poor communication, and a rotating cast of trades with nobody accountable.
We run your renovation the same way we run every project: one point of contact, weekly updates, full cost transparency, and a schedule we track against from day one.
Architects & designers
Working with an architect or designer? We join your design team directly. Starting from scratch? We bring in trusted architects and designers from across the Ogden Valley, with design and engineering included in your price. If you bring your own architect, their fees are separate.
Multi-room renovations that bring an older home up to a higher standard, done in phases or all at once depending on scope and budget.
Structural wall removal, opened-up floor plans, relocated stairs, and layout changes that need engineering and permits.
Full kitchen renovations, including layout changes, cabinetry, countertops, appliance coordination, electrical, plumbing, and finish work.
Primary bath, guest bath, and powder room renovations, with tile, fixtures, vanities, plumbing, and waterproofing done right.
Siding, window and door packages, decks and porches, and roofing, coordinated as part of a broader renovation.
How it works
Renovations follow the same process as our custom homes and additions. You’ll know where things stand at every step, and nothing moves forward without your approval.
See the full processWe walk the house, look at the existing conditions, and tell you plainly what the project involves before anything is committed.
We join your architect or designer, or bring in ours, and lock in the layout and selections before work starts, so decisions aren’t made on the fly.
Real bids from our trade partners, a line-item Cost Plus budget, and a schedule built around keeping your home livable, all in writing before you sign.
We protect the parts of the house you’re living in, manage every trade, and post weekly updates to your JobTread portal.
Weeks of deliberate final work. We test the systems, verify the finishes, and walk every room with you before handover.
36 months from Commissioning, three times the Utah standard.
Pricing
Renovations are where homeowners get surprised most often, by hidden conditions, scope creep, and poor communication once work starts. With Cost Plus, every cost is visible, and every change needs your approval before it happens.
Our fee is one guaranteed maximum fee, agreed to up front, and it changes only if the scope changes. Site supervision is billed at actual cost, with no markup.
See how our pricing worksEvery subcontractor invoice and material receipt is in your JobTread project portal.
When we open a wall and find something, we stop, document it, and bring you the options and costs before we go any further.
Site supervision is billed at actual cost, based on the share of a superintendent’s time your project needs. We’ll walk through the numbers in our first conversation.
Part of our fee is a quality reserve, so when a mistake is ours or a trade partner’s, the fix never comes out of your budget.
Common questions
What homeowners ask us most before starting a renovation.
Get the free cost guideOften, yes, depending on the scope and which parts of the house are affected. We phase the work to keep your home livable as long as possible. For major whole-home renovations, we’ll have a straight conversation about whether moving out for part of the project makes more sense, for your comfort and for the schedule.
We stop, document it, and call you. We never move ahead on unexpected scope without your sign-off. We’ll show you what we found, what the options are, and what each one costs, and then you decide. That’s one of the biggest advantages of Cost Plus: you’re in control when surprises happen, instead of getting a bill after the fact.
Structural work, electrical panel upgrades, plumbing changes, and anything that affects egress or load-bearing walls usually does, wherever your home is. We pull the permits your scope requires as part of the process from day one. Unpermitted work is a liability that shows up at resale.
We can work with your designer, bring in a designer we trust, or help guide selections ourselves on simpler projects. Finish selections get locked in before work begins, which keeps the schedule and budget intact.
Significant renovations and whole-home projects where our full process adds real value. We take on a limited number of projects, and smaller single-trade jobs, like a tile refresh, are usually better served by a trade partner directly. If that’s your project, we’ll tell you up front and point you to someone we trust.
