Whole-House Remodeling Services
A whole-house remodel is an opportunity to consider how every part of your home connects. Your kitchen influences the way you entertain. Your entryway shapes how you arrive home. Your bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces all play a role in your comfort.
LivCo plans these spaces together, helping you make decisions that support the home as a whole. Your renovation may include reconfigured rooms, updated kitchens and bathrooms, improved storage, coordinated finishes, and changes that bring more natural light into everyday living areas.
We serve homeowners across Chicago’s western suburbs, including Hinsdale, Western Springs, La Grange, Riverside, Oak Brook, and Glen Ellyn. Explore our service area to see where we work.
Our Approach to Whole-Home Remodeling
We begin by understanding what works in your home and what gets in the way. Where does the family gather? Which rooms go unused? Where would better storage, more privacy, or a stronger connection to the backyard make a difference?
These conversations guide a plan that balances your priorities with your home’s possibilities. Our in-house architects, designers, and construction team collaborate through LivCo’s concept, create, and construct phases. We explore feasibility and budget early, develop the design and material selections, and coordinate construction with continued involvement from our design team.

Features to Add to Your Whole-House Remodel
The right improvements should make your home feel more comfortable, connected, and personal. Depending on your goals and the existing structure, your remodel may include:
- Reconfigured living spaces: Improve connections between the kitchen, dining room, and family room while preserving privacy where you need it.
- Coordinated kitchen and bathroom renovations: Plan layouts, cabinetry, fixtures, and finishes as part of a cohesive design.
- Primary suite improvements: Reconsider the relationship between your bedroom, bathroom, and closet for greater comfort and convenience.
- Custom storage: Make better use of entryways, hallways, living areas, and underused corners.

Every selection becomes part of a larger plan, helping your remodeled home feel considered from room to room.
FAQ
Whole-House Remodeling Questions Answered
Whole-house remodeling coordinates improvements across multiple areas of your home under one design plan. It may include kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living spaces, circulation, storage, and exterior updates. The scope depends on your priorities and the condition of your home; it does not necessarily mean removing every wall or replacing every finish.
The schedule depends on the size of your home, the extent of layout changes, permitting, material availability, and construction requirements. Design and preparation also take time before work begins on-site. A renovation involving several rooms and structural changes requires a different schedule than one focused mainly on finishes. LivCo develops the project timeline around the agreed scope.
Costs vary with the amount of space being renovated, existing conditions, structural work, plumbing and electrical changes, and your material selections. Understanding these factors early helps establish a realistic budget. LivCo’s feasibility phase explores design concepts alongside budget considerations so you can evaluate the direction before moving into detailed design.
That depends on the work involved and whether essential spaces can remain safely accessible. Projects affecting the kitchen, multiple bathrooms, utilities, or large portions of the interior may require temporary relocation. Discuss living arrangements during planning so access, construction sequencing, and household needs can be considered together.
Yes. A thoughtful renovation can retain the features you value while improving how the home functions. Original architectural details, meaningful materials, or distinctive proportions can help guide the new design. The goal is to determine what should stay, what should change, and how the two can work together.
Understanding Whole-House Remodeling Cost
A useful budget begins with a clear picture of what you want to accomplish. Updating finishes throughout a home involves different work than relocating a kitchen, modifying stairs, or reconfiguring several bathrooms.
Major cost considerations include the size of the renovation, structural complexity, existing building systems, custom cabinetry, and finish selections. Older homes may also reveal conditions during construction that require additional work.
LivCo starts with feasibility planning to connect your priorities with the proposed investment. As the design develops, the scope, drawings, and selections become more detailed, supporting informed decisions before construction. For your whole home renovation in Chicago’s western suburbs, this early planning helps you understand where your budget is going and which improvements matter most.
