FAQ
Renovation questions, answered
How much does a full home renovation cost in McLean, VA?
A cosmetic refresh usually runs $40,000–$80,000. A full interior renovation with a new kitchen and bathrooms is typically $120,000–$250,000. Gut renovations run $250,000–$450,000+. You get an exact, itemized price after a free walk-through.
How long does a whole-house renovation take?
A cosmetic refresh takes about 4–8 weeks. A full interior renovation takes about 3–5 months, and a gut renovation 5–9 months, plus design and permitting.
Can we live in the house during the renovation?
For cosmetic work, often yes. For full or gut renovations, most families move out for part or all of the build. We will plan it with you up front.
Do I need permits?
Yes, for most full renovations: building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical. We file them and schedule every inspection.
Is it better to renovate or move?
If you like your location, renovating often gets you the home you want for less than buying, selling and moving.
Do you work with investors and home sellers?
Yes. We renovate homes before listing and after purchase, and we have fully renovated 30+ Northern Virginia homes.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. The Great House LLC holds Virginia Class A contractor license #2705197237, is fully insured, and every job includes a 1-year workmanship warranty.
