One plan for the whole house

A whole-home remodel is one project, not a series of rooms

Renovating several rooms at once is a different job from remodeling them one at a time. Flooring should run unbroken from the entry into the kitchen, doors and casings should match from the front hall to the back bedroom, and plumbing, wiring and ductwork are far easier to update while the walls are already open. Done in the right order under a single plan, the work avoids tearing out something new to reach something old, and the finished house reads as one design rather than a patchwork.

JACCO starts with the whole house: how you live in it now, what is not working, which rooms matter most and what has to stay usable during construction. From there we write one scope covering the kitchen, the bathrooms, floors, paint, carpentry and any layout changes, with the order of work spelled out. Some homeowners do everything at once and move out for the heaviest stretch; others phase the work so part of the house is always livable.

Older houses add a layer of discovery. Behind plaster and paneling there may be outdated wiring, aging supply lines, undersized framing or old repairs that were never done properly. We look for the signs during the site visit, explain what we see and build the likely work into the bid. If something new turns up once the walls are open, you hear about it first and approve the cost before anything about the scope changes.

Why JACCO

Why one contractor for the whole house

One sequence for every trade

Demolition, framing, rough plumbing and electrical, inspections, drywall, flooring, cabinets, trim and paint follow a fixed order. When one contractor owns that order, crews are not waiting on each other and finished work is not damaged by the next trade through the door.

Phasing that keeps the house usable

If you are living at home, we plan which bathroom stays in service, where a temporary kitchen goes and how dust is kept away from bedrooms. The schedule you receive before work starts shows which areas are affected and when.

Jonathon involved from start to finish

Jonathon is part of every project, from the opening site visit until the last punch-list item is signed off, and the hands-on carpentry, tile and paint work is done by JACCO’s own craftsmen. One person knows the whole house and every decision made along the way.

“The project kept to its schedule over the next couple of months. The people Jonathon employs have terrific work ethics, from being on time to cleaning up at the end of every day.”

Should we remodel everything at once or in phases?

That comes down to how you live and how much disruption you can absorb. Doing everything at once is usually the most efficient route, because trades move through the house once and shared work like flooring and paint happens in a single pass. Phasing keeps part of the home livable and spreads the cost over time, at the price of some repeated setup and a longer overall project. We can price the two approaches side by side so the trade-off is clear.

Can we live in the house during a whole-home remodel?

Many families do, especially when the work is phased. It takes planning: which bathroom stays working, where you will cook, and how bedrooms stay clean while other rooms are opened up. For the heaviest stretches, such as new floors throughout or a kitchen and bath at the same time, some homeowners choose to stay elsewhere for a while. We walk through the sequence honestly so you can decide what works for your household.

How is a whole-house renovation priced?

From a written scope, room by room and trade by trade, after a site visit. The bid shows what is being done in each space and which materials are included, so you can decide what to keep, change or postpone. We avoid square-foot pricing for whole-home work, because two houses of the same size can need very different amounts of work behind the walls.

What if you find problems behind the walls?

You hear about it before anything changes. Rot, outdated wiring, failing plumbing or framing damage sometimes appear only once walls and floors are opened. At that point you see the condition for yourself, hear the possible fixes and agree the cost before the repair goes ahead, so the rest of the scope stays exactly as you approved it.

Will a whole-home remodel need permits?

Almost always, because whole-house work usually includes electrical, plumbing, mechanical or structural changes. Each of those can carry its own permit and inspections, issued by Sumner County or by Franklin, Brentwood or Metro Nashville depending on the address. JACCO builds the permit plan into the bid, files the applications and times each inspection to fit the sequence of work.
