A complete transformation that touches every room — one clear direction, one accountable team, and a level of craftsmanship that makes the finished home feel like it was always meant to be exactly this.
A whole-home renovation requires one team with a single clear vision — coordinating every trade, every finish, and every timeline. We deliver a cohesive result that feels intentional from room to room.
Lussoro was built specifically for this. Our in-house design and construction teams operate as one — sharing the same design language, the same quality standards, and the same accountability to you. What came out of it is a home that tells a complete story.
We translate the wish list into a coordinated scope: layout, structure, kitchens and baths, systems, windows, finishes, storage, and exterior connections. Decisions are sequenced around the homeowner's priorities so the budget is invested where it changes daily life most.
Architecture, interior design, estimating, and constructability are reviewed together. That prevents a common renovation problem: completing drawings before understanding the cost of structural changes, custom details, mechanical upgrades, or premium finish selections.
Whole-home projects require a realistic plan for permits, procurement, temporary protection, inspections, and whether the family can remain in the home. Long-lead cabinetry, windows, appliances, and fixtures are identified early so construction is not stalled by late selections.
The most significant variables are home size, structural work, number of kitchens and bathrooms, electrical and plumbing condition, window and door changes, finish level, access, and how much of the existing home can remain. Permit review and construction schedules vary by city and scope. Our team builds a milestone plan that covers design, selections, approvals, demolition, rough inspections, finishes, and final closeout.

Common Questions
The answer depends on size, structural scope, permitting, and finish complexity. Design and approvals can take several months, followed by a construction schedule that often runs six months or longer. We build a milestone schedule around the actual drawings, long-lead selections, inspections, and move-out requirements.
For a limited phased renovation, sometimes. For projects affecting the kitchen, several bathrooms, electrical service, plumbing, or most interior finishes, moving out is usually safer and more efficient. We discuss access, dust control, temporary utilities, and sequencing before recommending a plan.
Key selections should be made during design and before procurement deadlines. Cabinetry, windows, appliances, plumbing fixtures, tile, lighting, and custom items can have long lead times. Early selection lets the budget reflect the real products and protects the construction schedule.
We align design decisions with estimates, define allowances, investigate existing conditions where practical, and identify exclusions before construction. Changes are documented with scope, cost, and schedule impact so homeowners can make a clear decision before additional work proceeds.
