Question About Whole Home Remodeling?

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a whole home remodel cost in Chicago?

Whole home remodeling costs vary depending on the size of the home, the scope of work, and the quality of finishes selected. In the Chicago area, most of our design-build renovations fall within the following general ranges:

 

  • Mid-range whole home remodel: $150,000 – $300,000
  • Large-scale renovations: $300,000 – $500,000+
  • Extensive structural remodels or additions: $500,000+

Several factors influence the total investment, including structural changes, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, mechanical system updates, and custom finishes. Because every home and renovation plan is different, the most accurate way to determine cost is through a detailed design and planning process.


Use our detailed local cost guide as a first step in your planning.

How long does a whole home renovation take?

The timeline for a whole home remodel depends on the size and complexity of the project.

 

Typical timelines include:

 

  • Design and planning: 1–3 months
  • Permitting and approvals: 1–2 months
  • Construction: 4–8 months

Larger projects involving structural changes, additions, or extensive layout modifications may take longer. 

Can you live in your home during a whole house remodel?

In some cases, homeowners can remain in the home during portions of the renovation. However, for large-scale whole home remodeling projects, especially those involving structural work, kitchen renovations, or major system upgrades, many homeowners choose to temporarily relocate.

 

Living elsewhere during construction can make the process more efficient and comfortable, allowing work to progress faster without disrupting daily routines.

What is included in a whole home remodel?

A whole home remodel typically involves updating multiple areas of the house at the same time. While each project is unique, common components include:

 

  • Kitchen and bathroom renovations
  • Structural layout changes or wall removal
  • New flooring and interior finishes
  • Updated lighting and electrical systems
  • Plumbing upgrades
  • HVAC improvements
  • New trim, doors, and millwork

Many homeowners also incorporate additions, basement finishing, or exterior updates during a full home renovation.

Should I hire a design-build contractor for a whole home remodel?

A design-build approach can simplify large remodeling projects by bringing design, planning, and construction under one coordinated process.

 

With design-build remodeling:

 

  • Designers, architects, and builders collaborate from the beginning
  • Budgets and design decisions are aligned early in the project
  • Communication is streamlined
  • Potential issues can be addressed before construction begins

Client Testimonials

Bannockburn, IL

Anton of Skor Construction was outstanding. We had Skor replace our roof, several windows, gutters, soffit/fascia, shutters and garage door in May 2020. Anton and his team were incredibly professional, timely, dedicated and highly involved (Anton checked in frequently with us on the project). The house looks great! We highly recommend Anton at Skor Construction.

Sue L.

Glenview, IL

I hired Skor construction to install my new kitchen cabinets based on the recommendation of the cabinet company. Anton was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. I was concerned because I wanted to save my existing countertops. I was afraid they would crack when being removed. But Anton and his team were able to save them! Bonus! The work they did turned out awesome! This a honest, reliable, trustworthy company. You do not need to worry about being scammed. Will definitely use Skor construction again!

We hired Skor Construction to remodel our entire townhouse, and from the very beginning Anton and his crew made us very comfortable. Everything came out absolutely beautiful, we definitely recommend Skor Construction to everyone.
