For the types of projects we typically take on, homeowners can use these ranges as an initial planning guide:
The final investment depends on the project size, existing home and site conditions, demolition, structural changes, plumbing and electrical relocation, engineering, cabinetry, materials, fixtures, appliances, level of finish, and permitting requirements.
Every home and scope is different, but for the larger remodeling projects we take on, the work often goes well beyond replacing finishes.
If the current floor plan feels closed off, divided, or no longer works for your family, we can evaluate what can realistically be changed and what the structure will require.
Depending on your project, this may include:
Before walls come down, we look at how the existing home is built and how the proposed changes affect surrounding spaces and systems.
Learn MoreKitchens and bathrooms are often a major part of a whole-home renovation. Instead of treating them as separate projects, we can coordinate their layouts, materials, plumbing, electrical, and finishes with the rest of the home.
This may include:
Planning these spaces together helps create a more consistent home and allows major construction decisions to be coordinated from the beginning.
Learn MoreIf several rooms need updating, we can remodel the interior as one complete project rather than tackling one disconnected space at a time.
A whole-home interior remodel may include:
We also pay attention to existing conditions behind the finishes, especially when walls and ceilings are already being opened during a larger renovation.

Sometimes rearranging the existing floor plan isn't enough. If you need more room, we can evaluate how additional square footage could work with your existing San Juan Capistrano home.
Depending on the property and project, that may include:
An addition has to work with more than the floor plan. We consider foundation, framing, rooflines, structural connections, utilities, site conditions, and permitting so the new space feels like a natural extension of the existing home.
Learn MoreThe timeline depends on how much of the home you’re changing, whether structural work is involved, and whether plans and permits are required. A cosmetic update will naturally move faster than a remodel involving wall removal, a new floor plan, relocated plumbing, or an addition.
For the projects we typically take on, homeowners can use these as general planning ranges:
Kitchen Remodel: approximately 6–10 weeks
Bathroom Remodel: approximately 3–5 weeks
Full Home Remodel: approximately 4–8 months after permits
ADU: approximately 12 months total, including planning and permitting
New Home Construction: approximately 18 months, including planning and permitting
It depends on the work being performed, but many substantial remodeling projects require permits.
Projects involving structural changes, additions, significant plumbing or electrical work, ADUs, and other regulated improvements may require plans, permits, and inspections.
San Juan Capistrano currently requires residential remodel permit submittals to be made in person with hard-copy plans, and the City’s current permit information states that it does not offer expedited plan review.
As part of our design-build process, we coordinate the applicable plans, engineering, permit documentation, construction, and inspections for your project.
We visit your home, walk through the spaces you want to change, discuss your goals and budget, and look at existing conditions that could affect the project.
We develop the layout and scope around your home and priorities. Depending on the project, this may include floor plans, material selections, structural planning, and engineering.
When permits are required, we coordinate the applicable drawings, engineering, documentation, and City plan-review process before construction begins.
Once approved, we move into construction and coordinate demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, installations, finishes, and required inspections throughout the project.
We complete the finishing details, review the remodeled spaces with you, address applicable punch-list items, and bring the project through final completion.
We work with homeowners throughout San Juan Capistrano, including communities and neighborhoods around Marbella, Hunt Club, Los Rios, Mission District, Capistrano Royale, Mission Woods, San Juan Hills, and surrounding areas, as well as nearby Dana Point, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, and San Clemente.

Kitchens typically begin around $40,000–$70,000+, while bathrooms commonly range around $25,000–$40,000+.
