Request a consultationDefine the scope before choosing finishes
Start with the rooms you want to change and the problems you want to solve: an awkward layout, limited storage, disconnected living areas, or aging finishes. A whole-home renovation brings these decisions together so structural work, lighting, plumbing, cabinetry, and flooring can be planned in the right sequence.
A design-build process for your San Jose home
Lewis & Proveaux connects planning, permit coordination, construction, and finishing decisions. The first conversation covers your existing home, priorities, and proposed scope. Design decisions then inform the construction plan, with required approvals and inspections coordinated around the work.
What changes a remodeling budget?
Moving walls, relocating plumbing, upgrading electrical systems, and repairing conditions discovered during demolition can change the scope. Cabinetry, windows, surfaces, and finish selections matter too. Compare proposals using the same scope, allowances, exclusions, and approach to changes, rather than a single price per square foot.
Plan for life during construction
Discuss access to kitchens and bathrooms, work areas, dust control, material storage, and temporary utility interruptions before construction starts. Whether you can remain in the home depends on the work and safe separation from occupied rooms. Agree on a practical arrangement and communication plan for your household.
Questions before you begin
01Should I remodel several rooms together?+
Coordinating rooms can help when they share layout changes, flooring, plumbing, or electrical work. A phased approach may fit other households better. Discuss both the construction sequence and how each option affects daily life before deciding.
02How long will my home remodel take?+
Timing depends on the design, approvals, scope, material availability, and existing conditions. Ask for separate planning and construction stages, along with the decisions needed from you at each stage. A project schedule follows a defined scope; it cannot be reliably set from photographs alone.
03Can a remodel include a kitchen, bathroom, or addition?+
Yes. Lewis & Proveaux handles kitchens, bathrooms, additions, and whole-home renovations. Discuss connected work early so the layout, utilities, and finishes can be coordinated.
04What should I bring to a remodeling consultation?+
Bring your property location, photos, existing drawings if available, priorities, approximate budget, and preferred timing. A list of what does not work in the current home is often more useful than a finished design.
