One general contractor for the whole house, inside and out
Homeowners often assume a “full renovation” means hiring an interior remodeler and a separate exterior contractor and hoping the schedules line up. We do both under one contract: framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, kitchens, baths, and flooring inside; siding, roofing, and windows outside if they’re part of the scope. One GC means one schedule, one permit package filed with Howell Township, and one company accountable for how the trades hand off to each other — no finger-pointing when a plumber’s rough-in doesn’t match the electrician’s layout.
What a full renovation looks like across Howell’s housing stock
- Late-60s and 70s splits and ranches (Candlewood, Ramtown, Southard) — These homes usually need the most comprehensive work: outdated electrical service upgraded to modern capacity, central air added where the house was built without it, layout changes to open closed-off kitchens, and full mechanical, plumbing, and flooring updates throughout.
- 1980s–90s colonials along the Route 9 corridor — Systems are generally newer, so renovations here tend to focus on bigger kitchen and bath remodels, multi-zone HVAC upgrades, and whole-house flooring replacement rather than ground-up mechanical work.
- Newer construction and 55+ communities near the reservoir and Allaire State Park — Renovations here are often more targeted — single-level living upgrades, aging-in-place bathroom work, and finish-level updates.
Can one contractor really handle both the interior and the exterior?
Yes, and it is usually the more efficient path for a project this size. The single biggest cause of renovation delays and cost overruns is bad sequencing — running new flooring before HVAC ductwork is finalized, or finishing walls before an inspector signs off on rough electrical, or a roofer and a kitchen crew showing up the same week without coordination. We build a written schedule before demo starts that sequences every trade, inside and out, correctly the first time.
