Home Remodeling top to bottom.

A whole-home remodel is the biggest project most of our clients undertake. Typical scope: multiple rooms remodeled in one coordinated project — kitchen, baths, living areas, often with layout changes and wall removals to modernize an older floor plan.

Pricing context

Capital Region whole-home remodels usually run $55,000 to $150,000+, depending on square footage, scope, and material level. HomeNest has built full-home remodels across Albany, Troy, and Clifton Park — many of them in homes built between 1920 and 1970 that need thoughtful updating to support modern living.

Open-concept rebuilds

The most-requested whole-home scope in the Capital Region is opening up a compartmentalized floor plan. Kitchen, dining, and living areas get combined into one connected space; a load-bearing wall is typically involved. We handle structural engineering, permitting, and the finish work together. The transformation is dramatic — a 1960s ranch with a galley kitchen and separate dining room becomes one bright, connected space you actually want to spend time in.

Who this is for

Whole-home remodels are right for owners with a long horizon — you're staying in this house for another 10+ years, or you're in a neighborhood with enough ceiling on values to justify the investment. It's also right for owners who want to consolidate project fatigue into one coordinated push instead of spreading smaller projects over years. Jeff personally walks every whole-home consultation — this scope is where the design decisions compound and experience matters.

Coordinating trades and schedule

The difference between a well-run whole-home remodel and a messy one is coordination. We sequence demo, rough-in, drywall, finishes, and final work across every room. Our in-house crew owns the schedule; we don't sub the whole job out to whoever's available. A typical whole-home remodel runs 4-6 months on-site, depending on scope. We can stage to keep you in the house if possible, or run the full project at once if you're moving out.

Design and unified materials

Unified material selection pays off in whole-home scope. Floor transitions, trim profiles, and hardware choices that repeat across rooms make the house feel coherent instead of piecemeal. We work through selections together — floors first, then kitchen and bath counters, then paint and hardware. Related scope: if a single room is holding the house back, our kitchen remodeling or bathroom remodeling pages may be more appropriate. For growing families, pair a home remodel with a home addition.

Working in older homes

Many Capital Region homes have character worth preserving. We're comfortable working in homes with plaster walls, original hardwoods, and knob-and-tube electrical that needs updating. Our process finds and prices the hidden-condition risks early so you don't get ambushed by surprise costs mid-project. Permits and inspections are our responsibility, not yours.
