S-105.1 Example

Project Nixon: a dated house made new

Project Nixon started as a dated, older home. The renovation was a full interior revamp, including a back-split redesign to make the layout more functional. DDR updated the finishes throughout for a bright, welcoming feel, built a galley-style kitchen with a new built-in pantry, and finished the family room, with its 12-foot ceilings, with new lighting and a TV feature wall. The house was also fitted with new mechanicals for better heating and cooling. See Project Nixon.

S-105.2 Scope

What a whole-home renovation can include

  • Layout changes. Opening or moving walls, reworking a split-level or back-split, and new stairs.
  • Kitchens and bathrooms together. Done as one job, so the plumbing, electrical and finishes are planned once.
  • Floors, lighting and trim. New flooring, pot lights and trim carried through every room.
  • Mechanicals. Heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical updates coordinated with the trades who do them.
  • Project management. One general contractor running the schedule, the trades and the inspections, so you are not chasing anyone.

S-105.6 FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  1. What is a whole-home renovation?

    It is a renovation that covers several rooms or floors at once, such as a full main floor or the whole interior of a house, run as one project by one general contractor so the trades and schedule are coordinated.

  2. Do you manage the whole project?

    Yes. As the general contractor, DDR coordinates the trades, the schedule and the inspections, and you have one point of contact from your first call to your final walkthrough.

  3. Do I need permits for a whole-home renovation?

    Usually, yes. Structural changes, new plumbing and most layout changes need a building permit. DDR helps with permits and municipal requirements where needed, and checks what applies to your address before work starts.

  4. How much does a whole-home renovation cost?

    It depends on the size of the space, the layout changes, the finishes and whether permits or structural work are involved. The most reliable number is a quote for your home. DDR prices each job after seeing the space and talking through the scope; call or text 647-991-8551 or request a quote online.

  5. Can you work with my designer or architect?

    Yes. DDR works alongside your designer, architect or interior decorator, and builds to the drawings you have agreed on.
