Home Renovation - Licensed & Insured, Written Fixed-Price Quotes

Trusted Home Renovation Nationwide

A home renovation touches the biggest asset most families own, so the way it is run matters as much as the finished look. Most homeowners are not worried about paint colors. They are worried about the contractor who quotes one number and bills another, the crew that vanishes for two weeks, and the wall that gets closed up before anyone checks what is behind it. Penhallow Remodeling has been renovating homes since 2004 with one rule: say the price before the work, keep the promise after. You get a written price before anything is demolished, an arrival window we actually keep, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Trevor Nash leads the team and answers for every job.

Home Renovation Contractors

A Home Renovation Contractor is the licensed general contractor who plans and runs the whole job, from demolition and framing through plumbing, electrical, drywall, flooring, and finish trim. You need one when the project crosses more than one trade, because the real value is not in any single task, it is in the order they happen and who is responsible when something goes wrong. Penhallow Remodeling handles the full scope under one written contract. A typical multi-room renovation runs $25,000 – $90,000, depending on how many rooms are involved, whether walls move, and the grade of finishes you choose. You will not get a verbal ballpark from us. You get a line-item written price, and the number on day one is the number on the invoice.

One Point of Contact

You get one project lead, not five phone numbers. We schedule each trade in sequence and confirm them before they arrive. If a supplier is late or an inspection slips, we tell you the same day and adjust the plan.

Written Price and Written Guarantee

Before work begins you receive the scope, the price, and the schedule on paper. Every renovation also carries our 365-day written guarantee. If something fails inside that window, we return and fix it at no charge, with no service call fee and no re-inspection fee.

Home Renovators

Good Home Renovators are different from crews that only do surface updates. Renovation work means opening up what is already there, and old houses hide things: undersized joists, knob-and-tube wiring, a vent pipe that was never connected, galvanized supply lines clogged from the inside. Our renovators are trained to inspect before they cover. When a wall comes open, we look, we photograph, and we show you what we found before we price the fix. That habit prevents the surprise change order that makes homeowners dread renovation. If you are weighing a smaller scope first, our Kitchen Remodeling and Basement Remodeling pages show how we run single-room projects with the same standard.

Protecting the Rest of Your Home

You will keep living in the house during most renovations, so we set up dust barriers, floor protection, and a clear path from the work area to the door. At the end of each day the site is swept and the tools are put away.

Uniformed, Background-Checked Crews

Every person who walks into your home is background-checked, wears a uniform, and carries ID. The crew assigned to your job is the crew that does the work, not a rotating cast of strangers.

Home Improvement Contractors

Home Improvement Contractors cover a wide range, from replacing a deck to rebuilding a bathroom, and the label alone tells you very little. What you want to know is how a company handles money, schedule, and mistakes. Penhallow Remodeling works as a general contractor serving homeowners across the United States through local crews, all operating under the Kingswell standard in place since 2004. That means a written price, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a written guarantee on every project, whether the job is a $6,000 flooring replacement or a $90,000 renovation. For projects that add square footage, see our Room Addition Contractor page.

Small Jobs Get the Same Standard

A single-room update gets the same written scope and the same guarantee as a large job. We do not treat a smaller project as a favor, and we do not attach a lower standard to it.

Permits Handled Properly

Where permits are required, we pull them, schedule the inspections, and pass them. You do not inherit a code violation because a shortcut saved somebody a day.

Home Renovation Companies

A Home Renovation Company is only as good as its last job and its willingness to answer for it. When you compare companies, ask three plain questions: Is the price in writing before work starts? Who shows up at my door? What happens if something fails in month ten? Penhallow Remodeling answers all three the same way on every project. The price is in writing, the crew is uniformed and background-checked, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the return visit at no charge. A whole-home renovation with us typically runs $60,000 – $150,000 depending on square footage and finish level, and a partial renovation of two or three rooms commonly lands between $25,000 and $60,000.

What a Written Scope Includes

Your scope lists every room, every material, every fixture allowance, and what is not included. If you want to change something later, we price the change in writing before it is added, so the total never moves without your signature.

What Happens If Something Fails

You call the same number you used on day one. A real person answers, takes the details, and books the return visit. No argument and no fee.

Renovation Contractors

Renovation Contractors specialize in changing a structure that already exists, which is a different skill from building new. The work requires reading old framing, matching existing materials, and sequencing demolition so nothing structural is compromised. Penhallow Remodeling renovation crews handle load-bearing wall changes with engineered beams where required, rewire to current code, replace aging supply and drain lines, and bring insulation and ventilation up to standard while the walls are open. Structural and mechanical upgrades are where a rushed contractor cuts corners, and where a careful one earns the price. Expect structural work to add $3,000 – $15,000 to a project, depending on span, engineering, and finish repair.

Load-Bearing Walls and Beams

Opening a kitchen to a dining room often means removing a bearing wall. We bring in the engineering when required, set temporary support, install the beam, and have it inspected before any finish work goes over it.

Electrical and Plumbing Updates

Older homes often have too few circuits for modern appliances and supply lines near the end of their life. Renovation is the cheapest time to fix both, because the walls are already open.

Whole House Renovation

A Whole House Renovation is the largest version of this work: kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, paint, lighting, and often layout changes, all coordinated into one schedule. You need it when the house works against you in several places at once, or when you have just bought one that needs everything. Penhallow Remodeling plans these in phases so you know what happens when, and what it costs at each stage. Whole house renovation commonly runs $60,000 – $150,000, with larger or higher-finish homes going above that. The main savings come from doing the work once: one demolition, one set of permits, one punch list, one guarantee.

Phasing the Work

Phase one is always structure and systems: framing, rough plumbing, rough electrical, and inspections. Phase two is surfaces: drywall, flooring, cabinets, and tile. Phase three is fixtures, trim, and paint. Keeping that order prevents the damage that happens when finish work goes in too early.

Living in the House During the Work

If you stay, we plan around it. We finish one zone before starting the next, keep a working bathroom available, and agree on a temporary kitchen setup before demolition begins.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• Cracks that grow across walls or ceilings. Hairline cracks are common, but cracks that widen or run diagonally from window corners can point to movement in the foundation or framing. Renovating over them only hides the problem until it returns.
• Floors that slope, bounce, or feel soft. A soft floor often means a failing joist, a past water leak, or pest damage underneath. New flooring over a weak subfloor will not last, so the cause has to be found first.
• Warm outlets, flickering lights, or a buzzing panel. These suggest overloaded circuits or loose connections. Sparking or heat is a fire risk and needs a licensed professional before any other work continues.
• Stains, musty smell, or bubbling paint. Moisture is getting in somewhere. Finding the source before you renovate saves you from repainting and replacing drywall twice.
• Rooms that no longer fit how you live. A cramped kitchen, a dark hallway, or a dated bathroom can drag on daily life long before anything breaks. That is a good reason to plan a renovation, and the time to plan it is before it becomes urgent.

Our Process, Step by Step

1. 1
   Walkthrough and written estimate. We walk the house with you, measure every room in scope, and talk through what you want and what it costs. You leave with a written price, not a verbal range.
2. 2
   Selections and schedule. You choose finishes, fixtures, and materials. We lock the schedule and the price. Changes you request later are priced in writing before they are added.
3. 3
   Demolition and rough-in. We protect the rest of the house, remove only what needs to go, and complete framing, plumbing, and electrical. If we find something unexpected, we stop, show you, and get written sign-off.
4. 4
   Inspections and finish work. Permitted work gets inspected before it is covered. Then drywall, flooring, cabinets, tile, trim, and paint go in, and the site stays clean through every phase.
5. 5
   Final walkthrough and written guarantee. We walk the finished work with you, make a punch list, and hand you the written 365-Day Done Right Promise.
