Whole Home Renovations

Every Room on One Plan

A whole home renovation is the largest project most homeowners will ever commission, and the one where coordination matters more than any single finish. Ten good rooms designed separately still add up to a house that feels stitched together.

We plan the whole house first: circulation, sightlines, where the flooring changes, which trim profile runs throughout, how the kitchen palette resolves in the adjoining living space. Then we sequence the trades against that plan.

Century homes in Kitchener and Waterloo, 1970s side-splits in Cambridge, and 1990s builds in Guelph each fail in their own way. We assess the structure and services before design work starts, so the plan accounts for what the house actually is.

ONE POINT OF CONTACT

Every Room, One Team, One Schedule

On a whole home renovation the hard part is not any individual room. It is keeping fifteen trades, six delivery dates and four inspections in step while you are still living there. That coordination is the service you are actually buying.

You get one project manager who holds the schedule, one contract covering every trade, and one number to call when something changes. We do not ask you to chase the electrician or referee a scheduling conflict between suppliers.

"One contract, one schedule, one person accountable for the date on it."

STRUCTURE & SERVICES

We Assess the House Before We Design It

Whole home projects surface problems that room-by-room work never reaches: aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, undersized panels, failing cast-iron drains, missing insulation, load paths that make the open plan you want far more expensive than it looked.

We survey the electrical, plumbing, HVAC and structure before the drawings are finalized, and we price what we find. Discovering a bearing wall after demolition changes the budget. Discovering it during the assessment changes the drawing instead.

"The costly surprises are the ones found halfway through. We go looking for them in week one."

LIVING ON SITE

Keeping the House Livable While We Work

Most of our whole home clients stay in the house. We phase the work by zone so you always keep a functioning kitchen, a working bathroom and somewhere to sleep, and we seal each zone with dust containment rather than draping a sheet over the hallway.

Your phase plan shows which rooms are down in which weeks and when each comes back. It is updated as the job moves, so the answer to when you get your kitchen back is a date rather than a shrug.

"You will always know which room is down this week and which week it comes back."

Our Process

How Your Whole Home Renovations Project Works

1

Whole House Assessment

We survey the structure, electrical, plumbing and HVAC before any drawing is finalized.

2

Phased Design Plan

Every room is designed against one material palette, then grouped into build phases.

3

Trade Coordination

Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, carpentry and finishing are booked and sequenced by one project manager.

4

Phased Construction

Work moves zone by zone so you keep a working kitchen, bathroom and bedroom throughout.

5

Quality Checkpoints

Framing, rough-in and finish stages are each inspected before the next phase starts.

6

Complete Walkthrough

A room-by-room review of every finish, with a written deficiency list closed before final invoice.

The North Point Difference

Why Choose North Point for Whole Home Renovations

Single Point of Contact

One project manager coordinates every trade, so you are never the one relaying messages between them.

Design Cohesion

One palette of materials, colours and trim profiles carries through the house instead of stopping at each doorway.

System-Level Upgrades

Electrical, plumbing and HVAC are brought up to current standards while the walls are open, which is the only economical time to do it.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically 3 to 8 months, depending on square footage, how much structural work is involved, and whether we are also replacing windows and mechanical systems. You receive a phase-by-phase schedule during planning and a revised date whenever a phase shifts.

Usually yes. We phase the work by zone and keep a functioning kitchen, bathroom and bedroom available throughout. For gut renovations involving the full mechanical system, relocating for part of the schedule is safer and often finishes the job faster.

We stop, photograph it, and send you the options in writing with pricing before any extra work begins. Every whole home proposal also carries a contingency allowance, so a discovery does not automatically become a difficult conversation.

We carry the whole scope: electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing, drywall, carpentry, tile, flooring, painting and finishing. One contract, one schedule, and one company accountable if a trade misses a date.

Whole home renovations generally run from $100,000 to $400,000 or more. Square footage matters less than how much moves: relocating kitchens and bathrooms, replacing mechanical systems and altering structure are what drive the number.
