Full-scale whole-home remodels that take outdated properties and make them feel brand new.
A whole-home remodel is one of the most complex types of residential construction. You are working with an existing structure, which means dealing with surprises behind every wall. Outdated wiring, undersized plumbing, structural issues that were hidden for decades. A good remodeling contractor knows how to handle all of it.
We specialize in whole-home remodels across the Bay Area. Whether you have a 1950s ranch in San Jose that needs a complete overhaul or a 1970s split-level in Fremont that needs a modern layout, we can take it from outdated to outstanding while keeping the bones that make the home solid.
Our approach is thorough. We start with a detailed assessment of the existing structure, identify everything that needs to be addressed, and develop a scope of work that covers every detail. No guesswork, no mid-project surprises about cost.
When you hire Magana's for your home remodeling project, here is what you get:
Whole-home remodels in the Bay Area typically take 3 to 8 months depending on the scope. A cosmetic refresh of a smaller home might take 3 months. A full gut remodel with structural changes, system replacements, and layout modifications will be closer to 6 to 8 months.
Timelines vary based on permit processing times (which differ by city in the Bay Area), project complexity, material availability, and scope changes. We will give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.
Most whole-home remodels require a building permit, especially if you are doing structural work, moving plumbing or electrical, or changing the footprint. We handle the entire permit process, including plan preparation, submission, and inspection scheduling.
It is common for homeowners to underestimate remodeling costs by 20 to 30 percent. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you know what to expect. Build in a 10 to 15 percent contingency for the unexpected.
Depending on the scope, you may need to move out during construction. Plan for this early. It affects your timeline, your stress level, and your budget.
Change orders are the number one reason remodels go over budget. Take the time to finalize your design and selections before we start swinging hammers.
No pressure, no obligation. Just a conversation about what you want to build and how we can help.
