A full-home renovation is the longest, most expensive, and most stressful project a homeowner takes on. It is also the one where Revohouse's process pays off the most clearly. When kitchen, baths, basement, structural, mechanical, and finishes all run under one contract, you stop being the general contractor. There is one number to call, one schedule to read, and one team accountable when something needs to be re-scoped mid-build.

What it costs
Most full-home renovations in Montreal and the West Island land between $180,000 and $750,000. A 1,500–2,000 sq ft single-family home receiving new kitchen, baths, flooring, paint, and selective mechanical work typically runs $180K–$300K. A 2,500+ sq ft gut renovation with structural reconfiguration, full mechanical replacement, custom millwork, and high-end finishes runs $400K–$750K. Heritage homes in Outremont, Westmount, and Old Montreal frequently exceed those numbers due to substrate complications.
Estimates are line-itemed by trade. Allowances for fixtures, finishes, and millwork are spelled out so you know the cost impact of every selection.
How the schedule works
From signing, a full-home project typically runs 8–16 months: 2–4 months of design, permits, and ordering; 6–12 months on site. We sequence demolition → mechanical rough-in → inspections → insulation → drywall → millwork install → finishes → punch list → walkthrough. Weekly client meetings keep selections moving so the site never waits on a decision.
