Your clear guide to the full remodeling process, from early planning to final finishes

If you’re thinking about a whole home remodel, it’s normal to feel unsure about what comes next. At PE Home Remodeling, we’ve helped families across Severna Park, Annapolis, Glen Burnie, and Crofton turn outdated houses into functional, beautiful spaces they enjoy living in. 


Whether you're updating your layout, adding space, or improving flow, here’s our professional breakdown of what to expect and how to make the process run smoothly from start to finish. 


Start With Clear Planning and Design 


Every successful whole home remodel begins with a strong plan. This phase sets the direction for everything that follows, from layout and material choices to the construction schedule. 


Set Priorities for Your Remodel 


Think about which areas of your home need the most attention. Kitchens and bathrooms are usually the most important spaces, but every room should support your day-to-day needs. 


During our initial consultation, we talk through how your home currently functions and what improvements you’re looking for. We help you create a realistic list of must-haves and future goals, all within your budget. 


Build a Budget You Can Stick To 


Budget planning is key to a successful whole home remodel. We help you break down expected costs for labor, materials, permits, and other items. 


Our goal is to guide you through smart choices so you stay within budget while still getting the features and finishes you care about most. 


Choose the Right Remodeling Team 


The success of your remodel depends on who you work with. PE Home Remodeling is a licensed general contractor offering in-house design-build services, which means we manage the entire process from beginning to end. 


Work With Designers Who Understand Your Vision

We serve clients throughout Severna Park and surrounding areas. Your consultation is free, and it gives us the chance to understand your goals and show how we can bring them to life. 


Hire Contractors You Can Rely On 


Our in-house construction crew handles everything from demo to final finish. We coordinate permits, inspections, materials, and all day-to-day site activity. 


We answer calls promptly, show up on time, and stick to the schedule we give you. That level of communication is what sets our team apart from other contractors in the area. 


Know What Happens During Construction 


Once the plan is finalized and permits are approved, the remodeling phase begins. A full home remodel often follows this general order: 


Demolition and Prep Work 


We start by removing old materials, finishes, and fixtures. This stage can be loud and dusty, but we take steps to protect your property and keep the work area clean and safe. 


Framing and Structural Changes 


If your layout is changing or if new walls, beams, or additions are needed, this is when we build out the structure. We use detailed plans to make sure everything lines up properly and supports your home for the long term. 


Installing Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC 


Next, we install or update all the mechanical systems in your home. Plumbing is roughed in first, followed by HVAC and electrical. Each system is installed to meet current code and tested before we close the walls. 


Finishing Touches That Bring It All Together 


This is the most exciting phase of your remodel. You’ll start to see your new space come to life. 


Paint and Flooring 


We help you choose colors, flooring types, and finishes that match your style and budget. Whether you want a light, bright feel or a more dramatic look, we make sure the finished product fits your home and lifestyle. 


Cabinets, Fixtures, and Final Details 


Our team installs cabinetry, appliances, lighting, and hardware with precision and care. We pay close attention to layout and symmetry so everything looks clean, balanced, and complete.

Frequently Asked Questions 


How long does a whole home remodel take? 


Most projects take 3 to 6 months depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the changes. We provide a detailed timeline before work begins. 


Do I need to move out during the remodel? 


It depends on the scope of work. If plumbing and electrical systems are being replaced or if access to bathrooms and kitchens will be limited, temporary relocation may be best. We help you plan for that in advance. 


Can I remodel one part of the home at a time? 


Yes. Some clients choose to phase out their project starting with the kitchen or bathroom. We’ll help you decide the best order based on your goals and budget.
