Project Guide
How a full interior renovation unfolds, from demolition to paint-ready walls — with the timeline and budget figures to plan around.
Ranges are planning figures; firm quotes follow a free walkthrough.
The process
We walk the property, align on goals, and provide a free 360° assessment that flags what's in scope, what needs immediate attention, and what to plan for later — then a clear scope and firm quote.
We pull the required permits and coordinate with the city before demo begins.
Gutted to the studs, with any structural issues corrected and ready to rebuild.
Systems updated and routed to current code before walls close up.
Insulated and inspected — the checkpoint that protects everything that follows.
Drywall hung, taped, and floated to smooth, paint-ready walls.
Finishes, trim, and a final walkthrough we both sign off on.
What to expect
These photos follow real Galveston interiors from demo to paint-ready: structure opened and corrected, systems updated, insulation inspected, and drywall finished smooth.

Common questions
Most interior gut renovations run 6 to 12 weeks depending on scope, permitting, and the condition of existing structure and systems.
Structural corrections, system upgrades, finish level, and accessibility of the space. We itemize these so you can see exactly where your budget goes.
It depends on the scope. For full gut renovations, most homeowners move out during the loudest phases. We'll advise honestly during the walkthrough.
