01
A kitchen update can change how an adjoining living area feels. New flooring can bring rooms together. A different layout can make space more useful without changing the home's footprint.
A whole-home renovation lets you consider those decisions together. Start with the changes that matter most: how rooms connect, what needs replacing and which parts of the home you want to keep.
02
Duval Construction handles load-bearing wall removal, beam installation and new or enlarged openings. Ed works with an engineer and coordinates engineering and permits, so layout changes can be considered alongside the rest of the renovation.

Planning guide
Five things to think through before you request an estimate, from how you use the house day to day to how to compare proposals.
01
Begin with how the house works on an ordinary day. Consider the route from the entrance to the living area, the relationship between the kitchen and dining space, and the rooms that need more privacy. Those observations help explain why you want to renovate before the conversation turns to materials.
A clear priority might be a kitchen that connects more easily with shared space. Another might be replacing worn finishes across several rooms while keeping the layout. Distinguishing these goals helps identify which decisions are cosmetic and which may change the underlying construction.
Write down what you like about the house as well as what you want to change. Retaining a room arrangement, feature or material is part of the project description. A whole-home renovation should start with the particular home and the life you want to continue living there.
02
The arrangement of rooms influences the visible work that follows. Removing a wall may affect flooring where the rooms meet. Enlarging an opening can change the finishes around it. Moving between connected spaces may reveal differences you want the wider renovation to address.
Consider these relationships before treating flooring, painting, cabinetry and openings as separate choices. The purpose is to understand the full project, including the places where new work meets existing features. Share any selections already made and indicate which ideas are still flexible.
Duval Construction's services include kitchen and bathroom remodeling, flooring, painting, windows and doors, and structural work. You can discuss these as connected parts of the renovation rather than assuming each needs to be planned independently.
03
A whole-home renovation changes the house you have, but it does not automatically create additional floor area. If the current footprint cannot accommodate the spaces you need, a home addition may be worth discussing alongside the renovation.
Start by explaining the function you are missing. More connected living space is a different goal from another separate room. A place for a family member may also raise the question of an ADU rather than an addition. Ed handles these types of work, so you can describe the broader need before settling on an approach.
04
A substantial renovation affects access and the way you use the house while work is underway. Identify the rooms you depend on, any important household constraints and the dates you want Ed to know about. These details belong in the planning conversation alongside the physical changes.
Whether you can remain in the home depends on the extent and location of the work. Avoid assuming that a kitchen, bathroom or access route will be available throughout the project. Discuss those requirements before making arrangements around the renovation.
Existing drawings, photographs and any relevant reports can help describe conditions before the scope is established. They are useful starting information, rather than a substitute for evaluating the actual property.
05
A useful comparison begins with scope. Check which rooms, structural changes, openings and finishes are included in each proposal. A quote for surface updates is different from a renovation that changes walls and the way rooms connect, even if both are described as a full remodel.
Ask about the areas where new construction meets existing work and identify decisions that remain open. If you change materials or add another room to the plan, discuss how that affects the proposed work. A lower headline figure does not explain those differences on its own.
FAQ
The scope varies by property. It can include multiple rooms, kitchens and bathrooms, flooring, paint, windows and doors, and changes to the layout. Your estimate should be based on the specific work discussed for your home.
That depends on the areas affected, access and the extent of the work. Discuss occupancy before work begins rather than assuming the entire home will remain usable.
Cost depends on the size of the project, existing conditions, materials and layout changes. Contact Ed with your property details and priorities to discuss an estimate for the proposed scope.
You can start by sharing your ideas and any plans or photographs you already have. The next step will depend on how developed the project is and the changes being considered.
Yes, the proposed renovation can be discussed around the areas you want to change and those you want to retain. Explain that distinction at the start. Work in one room can still affect an adjoining space, so the connections need to be considered when establishing the scope.
Bring your finish ideas, but discuss the intended layout and structural changes early. Those decisions can affect openings, floor transitions and other visible details. Ed can consider the proposed construction with the wider renovation before you assume the existing arrangement will remain.
Yes. Window and door installation is part of Duval Construction's services, including replacements, new openings, enlarged openings and impact-rated options. Tell Ed which openings you want to update so they can be considered in the context of the renovation.
