HomeREmodeling LLC · Home Remodeling

A home rebuilt around the way you live.

HomeREmodeling LLC is the home-remodeling direction of the company. We plan and build residential renovations — kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home updates, basements, exteriors, and custom carpentry — starting from a written scope that is agreed before work begins.

  • Scope, selections, and sequence decided up front — in writing
  • One running list for decisions, changes, and open items
  • Work sequenced so your home stays as livable as the project allows

Start with a short brief: the space, the goal, and what has to change.

Services

What we remodel

Six kinds of work, one discipline: measure the real space, settle the decisions that drive cost and schedule, then build to the written scope. The rooms pictured here are design inspiration for the conversations below — the starting point, not a portfolio.

Full kitchen renovation with tall fitted cabinetry, a breakfast table, and pendant lighting
No. 01

Kitchens

The kitchen is a work system before it is a look. We rebuild layouts around how you cook, store, and gather — then fit cabinetry, surfaces, and lighting to that plan.

  • Layout changes
  • Cabinetry & storage
  • Countertops
  • Lighting plans
  • Appliance integration
  • Backsplash & flooring

Settle early: whether plumbing or gas lines move. Everything else in the schedule hangs off that answer.

Renovated bathroom with a freestanding tub, floating wood vanity, stone walls, and garden-facing windows
No. 02

Bathrooms

Small rooms, unforgiving details. Waterproofing, ventilation, and drainage are planned first; tile, fixtures, and storage are layered on top of a sound substrate.

  • Showers & tubs
  • Tile & waterproofing
  • Vanities
  • Ventilation
  • Heated floors
  • Accessibility-minded layouts

Settle early: what is behind the walls. Old supply and drain lines decide how much of the room really gets rebuilt.

Open-plan living and dining space created by a whole-home renovation
No. 03

Whole-home renovations

When several rooms change at once, continuity is the craft: one flooring logic, one trim language, one sequence. We phase the work so finished rooms are never reopened by a later trade.

  • Open-plan conversions
  • Flooring continuity
  • Wall changes
  • Trim & doors
  • Phased room-by-room work

Settle early: which walls are structural. That answer shapes the plan, the permits, and who else needs to be involved.

Finished basement with a staircase, recessed lighting, and an open living area
No. 04

Basements & lower levels

Unfinished square footage is the cheapest room in the house — once moisture, egress, and ceiling height are honestly assessed. Then it can become living space, a guest suite, an office, or organized storage.

  • Family & media rooms
  • Guest space
  • Home offices
  • Storage walls
  • Ceiling & lighting plans

Settle early: moisture history. Finishing over an unresolved water problem rebuilds the problem, not the room.

Craftsman-style home exterior with a wide front porch, renewed siding, and evening lighting
No. 05

Exteriors & porches

The outside of the house is a weather system and a first impression at the same time. We renew the surfaces that shed water and take sun, and rebuild the porch as a room in its own right.

  • Siding renewal
  • Porches & entries
  • Windows & doors
  • Exterior trim & paint
  • Outdoor lighting

Settle early: what the old surface is hiding. Rot and water paths found early are repairs; found late, they are change orders.

Carpenter measuring fitted wooden built-in cabinets during installation
No. 06

Carpentry & built-ins

Fitted work is where a renovation becomes specific to one household: storage built for the things you actually own, measured to the millimetre of the room it lives in.

  • Built-in storage
  • Bookcases & media walls
  • Trim & moulding
  • Stair details
  • Custom shelving

Settle early: the inventory. Measure what has to fit — books, gear, coats — before a single dimension is drawn.

The process

From first walkthrough to final list

Remodeling goes wrong in the gaps between decisions. This sequence exists to close them: every step produces something written that the next step can rely on.

  1. Step 1

    Walkthrough & measure

    We see the space as it is — dimensions, structure, systems, and the problems you already know about.

  2. Step 2

    Scope & selections

    The work is defined room by room, and the fixtures and finishes that drive cost are chosen or consciously deferred.

  3. Step 3

    Written proposal

    Scope, exclusions, and schedule outline in one document. What is not in it is not assumed by either side.

  4. Step 4

    Build & communicate

    Trades run in sequence, changes are agreed in writing before they are built, and one list tracks every open item.

  5. Step 5

    Walkthrough & close-out

    A final pass together, a closing list worked to zero, and care notes for the new surfaces and systems.

Project planner

Before we meet

Six things that make a first consultation useful

None of this needs to be polished. Rough and honest beats neat and vague — the first meeting is for finding out what the project really is.

  • ✓

    Photos as it is now

    Wide shots of each space plus close-ups of anything damaged, stained, or not working. Current condition drives the real scope.

  • ✓

    Rough measurements

    Room dimensions, ceiling height, and the sizes of anything that must stay. A tape measure and ten minutes is enough.

  • ✓

    Inspiration, annotated

    Saved photos help most when you can say what exactly you like in each — the layout, the light, the storage — not just the style.

  • ✓

    The known-issues list

    Leaks, drafts, cracks, sticking doors, breakers that trip. Small symptoms often mark the spot where a remodel should start.

  • ✓

    Where the systems are

    Water shutoff, electrical panel, and access to attic or crawl space. Knowing these early prevents surprises mid-project.

  • ✓

    Your budget range

    Set the range you are comfortable with before the meeting. A defined scope can be shaped to a real number; it cannot be shaped to a guess.

The company

One company, two crafts

HomeREmodeling LLC works in two directions. This site is the first: home remodeling for people who live in the result. The second is a cybersecurity practice, presented on its own site, in its own terms.

The two crafts share one habit, and it is the habit this page is built around: define the scope, verify the work, and write down what changed. In a house, that means a measured plan, a written proposal, and a final walkthrough list worked to zero. It is slower than guessing — and it is why the finished room matches the one that was agreed.

If you are reviewing the company rather than planning a renovation: the remodeling direction offers the services and process described above, and scopes each project individually, in writing, before work begins.

Questions

Asked before almost every project

How do we start?

With the brief and a walkthrough. The planner on this page turns your answers into a consultation brief; the walkthrough adds measurements and the condition of the existing space. Only after both does it make sense to talk about scope and cost.

Why are there no prices on this site?

Because a remodel price is a property of a defined scope in a specific house, not of a room type. Two kitchens of the same size can differ by whether plumbing moves, what is behind the walls, and which finishes are selected. We would rather price a written scope than publish a number that cannot survive contact with your house.

Can a project be done in phases?

Often, yes — and sometimes it is the smarter route. The condition is that the full picture is planned first, so phase one never has to be undone by phase two. The phasing itself becomes part of the written scope.

What about permits?

Permit requirements depend on the project and on local rules, and they are settled during scoping — before work begins, not discovered during it. If a part of the project needs approval or inspection, that step belongs in the sequence from the start.

What happens if something unexpected is found?

It is discussed before it is fixed: what was found, what it affects, and what the options cost. Changes are agreed in writing and added to the scope — that is the rule that keeps a surprise from becoming a dispute.

Can we live in the house during the work?

Usually, with planning — the sequence is arranged to keep essential rooms usable as long as the project allows, and dusty phases are contained. The walkthrough is where we agree honestly on what “livable” will mean week by week.

Start with the brief. The rest gets clearer from there.

Five prompts, two minutes, and you have the document every good first conversation about a remodel should start from.
