What to Expect During a Full Home Remodel
A full home remodel is an exciting opportunity to transform the way you live, but it’s also a major project that requires thoughtful planning, patience, and the right team by your side. Whether you’re modernizing a dated floor plan, improving functionality, or finally creating the home you’ve always wanted, understanding the process ahead of time can help reduce stress and ensure a smooth experience. At HomePro Improvements, we’ve guided homeowners across Roswell and North Metro Atlanta through every stage of the renovation journey. Here’s what you can expect when undertaking a whole-home remodel, and how we make the process as seamless and rewarding as possible.
1. The Planning and Design Phase
Every full home remodel begins with a deep dive into your goals, your vision, and your lifestyle. This phase is more than just picking finishes, it’s where we map out how your new home will function and feel. At HomePro Improvements, we start with a detailed consultation to understand what’s not working in your current layout and what you want to change. Whether that means opening up rooms, adding storage, modernizing finishes, or all of the above, we help you prioritize based on your needs, timeline, and budget.
We’ll also begin the design process during this stage, offering layout suggestions and guiding you through material selections, cabinetry, flooring, tile, lighting, hardware, and more. Our team collaborates closely with you to develop a comprehensive plan that reflects your style, improves day-to-day functionality, and sets the foundation for the construction phase.
2. Permits, Approvals, and Pre-Construction
Once the design is finalized, we shift into preparation mode. In most cases, a full home remodel requires permits and inspections, especially when structural changes, electrical updates, or plumbing modifications are involved. We handle all of the necessary paperwork and coordinate directly with local building departments to ensure compliance with Roswell’s construction codes and timelines.
If your property is part of an HOA, we’ll help you navigate their requirements and approvals as well. During this stage, we also finalize subcontractor scheduling, order long-lead items like cabinetry and appliances, and set up timelines so construction can begin smoothly. Our goal is to make sure everything is ready on paper and on-site before the first wall comes down.
3. Demolition and Site Prep
Demolition marks the visible start of construction, and for many homeowners, it’s when the transformation starts to feel real. Depending on the project scope, this could involve removing interior walls, outdated finishes, flooring, cabinetry, or even full room gutting. Demolition can be noisy and dusty, but at HomePro, we go to great lengths to protect your home during this phase.
We install dust barriers, floor coverings, and air filtration as needed to minimize disruption. We also coordinate closely with you if parts of the home will remain occupied during construction, helping you relocate furniture, secure personal items, and, in some cases, establish temporary kitchen or bathroom spaces. Site prep is about more than tearing things down; it’s about setting the stage for clean, precise construction.
4. Construction and Project Milestones
The construction phase is where your design begins to come to life. Framing, rough plumbing and electrical, insulation, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, tile work, trim, and painting all happen here often in carefully timed stages that require strong coordination and communication.
This is typically the longest part of the remodel, and while it can be disruptive, it’s also exciting to see the progress unfold week by week. At HomePro Improvements, we provide frequent updates so you always know where things stand. We share milestone check-ins, adjust schedules as needed, and are always available to answer questions as your project takes shape. We also focus on craftsmanship during this phase. Every tile cut, cabinet install, and lighting detail is executed with care. Our team is committed to delivering high-quality results that look beautiful and hold up for the long haul.
5. Managing the Unexpected
Even with careful planning, full remodels sometimes uncover surprises outdated wiring behind walls, hidden water damage, or framing that’s not up to code. These discoveries can affect the scope, timeline, and budget of your project, but they don’t have to derail it.
The difference lies in how your contractor responds. At HomePro, we’re proactive problem-solvers. We immediately communicate any issues we find, provide practical options for addressing them, and keep you involved in the decision-making process. Our priority is to maintain momentum, minimize stress, and make sure your home is not only beautiful, but safe, sound, and built to last.
6. Final Walkthrough and Project Completion
As construction wraps up, we turn our attention to the details that make your home truly finished. We schedule a final walkthrough with you to review the completed work, walk through each room, and identify any outstanding items that need attention. This “punch list” might include touch-ups, fixture adjustments, or other final refinements.
We also perform a deep clean of the job site, review warranty information, and ensure you’re comfortable with how to care for and maintain your new materials and finishes. Our work isn’t complete until you’re completely satisfied. More than anything, we want the final handoff to feel exciting and celebratory because your space has been transformed with intention, integrity, and care.
