Whole-Home Remodeling in Orange
Serving 92866 · 92867 · 92868 · 92869 and Villa Park, Anaheim, Tustin
A whole-house remodel in Orange is really two projects wearing one contract: everything inside, which is a sequencing problem, and everything the street sees, which inside Old Towne is a preservation problem. Running them as one programme — one set of drawings, one review strategy, one build sequence — is the difference between a long project and an interminable one.
Real projects. Real prices.
73 finished remodels published with their final price — nothing hidden.
What 17 finished LA whole-home remodels actually cost: a median of $150k, in a range of $36k–$440k. Real final prices from our own job records, not estimates.

$237,000 Deep green tile floor-to-ceiling, a farmhouse sink, living space open to the patio.
$242,700 Structural work to open up the space, a vaulted ceiling, solid wood floors, kitchen and two baths.
$250,000 White shaker cabinetry and veined quartz, with hex-mosaic walk-in showers.
$279,000 White shaker cabinetry, granite counters, and a tan subway tile backsplash.
$440,000 Stone-look tile bathrooms with freestanding tubs, under an exposed beam ceiling.
Whole-house projects in Orange
Sequence the inside, strategise the outside
Structure, services and finishes have an order that never asks for the same wall twice. Exterior work has a review path. Planning both at drawing stage is the single highest-leverage thing anyone does on a project this size.
One trip to design review
Taking the whole exterior proposition to review once, coherently, beats returning with fragments. It reads better to the people assessing it and it costs less calendar.
Everything behind the walls, once
Electrical capacity, plumbing, mechanical and insulation are a fraction of the cost while the house is already open. In a pre-war Old Towne house that is not an upgrade, it is the reason to do a whole-house project at all.
