Whole House Remodeling Contractor on the Treasure Coast
A whole house remodel is where the difference between a contractor and a specialty shop stops being an abstraction. A cabinet company can sell you a kitchen. A stone shop can sell you countertops. Neither one can move a wall, reroute plumbing through a slab, upgrade an electrical panel, pull a permit, or take responsibility when the tile setter and the plumber disagree about who caused the leak.
A homeowner running a whole house project through separate specialty vendors is doing general contracting themselves, in the evenings, with no license, no leverage, and no recourse. Elite Home Improvements Group holds Florida general contractor license CGC1529124, self performs with our own crew, and puts the entire remodel under a single contract, a single schedule, and a single point of accountability. Sequencing is the part homeowners underestimate most: the order the trades work in determines whether a house takes three months or six, and getting it wrong costs more than any material upgrade you will ever choose.
What a Whole Home Remodel Includes
Every whole home project is scoped to your house and your budget. Most include some combination of the following, all under one contract.
Kitchens and Bathrooms
The two rooms that drive most of a remodel budget and most of the resale value. Custom cabinetry, stone countertops, tile, showers, and the plumbing and electrical behind them. See our kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling pages for the full scope of each.
Flooring Throughout the Home
Continuous flooring across the main living areas is one of the highest impact changes in a whole home remodel, and it is far cheaper done all at once than room by room, because the slab prep, the transitions, and the baseboards all happen in one pass. See our flooring installation page.
Layout Changes, Wall Removals, and Open Concept Conversions
Opening a closed floor plan is the most requested structural change we do, especially in Port St. Lucie homes built in the 1980s and 1990s. Load bearing wall removal, engineered beams, and relocating the plumbing and electrical that lived inside the wall you just took out. Permitted and inspected.
Crown Molding, Baseboards, and Interior Trim
Crown molding, baseboards, door and window casing, and built ins. Trim is the finish that makes a remodel read as intentional rather than merely new, and it is the line item most low bids quietly leave out.
Remodeling All at Once vs. One Room at a Time
Remodeling a whole home at once is almost always cheaper per room, faster overall, and less disruptive in total than remodeling one room every few years, because the demolition, permits, slab work, and trades all happen in a single pass instead of being repeated.
Room by room means paying to mobilize the same trades over and over, living through construction repeatedly, and finishing with a house where the flooring in the living room does not quite match the flooring in the hallway because the two were ordered four years apart. The reason people do it anyway is budget, and that is a legitimate reason. If phasing is what your budget allows, we will sequence it so each phase stands on its own and the finishes still line up years later.
Remodeling Before You Move In
If you are buying a home that needs work, remodeling before you move in is almost always faster, cheaper, and less painful. An empty house means no furniture to protect, no family living around demolition, and trades that can work without stopping, which compresses the schedule significantly. It is one of the most common whole home projects we take on in Port St. Lucie, Tradition, and St. Lucie West, and it is worth starting the estimate before you close, not after.
Living in Your Home During a Remodel
Sometimes possible, sometimes not, and we will tell you honestly which one you are facing. A project that keeps one bathroom and a working kitchen functional in phases can usually be lived through. A project that guts every bathroom at once, or involves a repipe or a panel upgrade, generally cannot. Nobody should be discovering that after the demolition crew arrives.
What to Expect When You Remodel an Older Port St. Lucie Home
Most of the homes we remodel on the Treasure Coast were built between the 1970s and the early 2000s, and they share a set of conditions that shape every whole house project here.
They sit on concrete slabs, so any plumbing move means trenching and rerouting through the slab, which must be permitted and inspected. Many have CBS block exterior walls, which changes how electrical and vents are routed and makes some wall changes simpler and others considerably harder. Original electrical panels are frequently undersized for how people actually live now, with recessed lighting, a modern kitchen, and a home office all running at once. Popcorn ceilings are common, and in homes of a certain age they need to be tested before they come down. Original galvanized or polybutylene plumbing is worth addressing while the walls are already open, because doing it later means opening them again.
None of this is a problem. It is a list, and it is the list we walk through during the estimate rather than discovering after demolition. The projects that go badly are the ones where nobody looked first.
Why Port St. Lucie Homeowners Choose Elite for Whole Home Remodeling
One Contract for the Entire House
Every trade, one schedule, one company accountable. You are not the general contractor on your own remodel, and you are not refereeing between vendors.
Verify Our License: CGC1529124
Look us up with the Florida DBPR before you hire us. Structural work, plumbing relocation, and panel upgrades are not jobs for an unlicensed contractor.
We Find the Problems During the Estimate
Slab, panel, plumbing, ceilings. We walk the house and tell you what is coming before you commit, not after demolition, when your options get expensive.
Sequencing That Keeps the House Moving
A whole house remodel lives or dies on the order the trades work in. We sequence the job so the house is never sitting idle waiting on one crew.
Our Whole Home Remodeling Process
Every Elite Home Improvements whole home remodel follows the same four steps, from your free in home estimate to the final inspection and walkthrough.
1. Free In Home Estimate and Full Walkthrough
We walk the entire house, look at the slab, the panel, the plumbing, and the ceilings, and talk through what you want against what the house will actually allow. You receive a written estimate at no cost.
2. Design, Selections, and One Contract
You choose cabinetry, stone, tile, flooring, and trim at our Port St. Lucie showroom, with design consultation included. One contract covers the whole house, with a written scope and schedule before demolition begins.
3. Permits and Build
We pull the permits, then sequence the trades in the right order so the house is never idle waiting on one crew. You get an update as each phase closes out.
4. Inspection and Final Walkthrough
Permitted work is inspected, and we walk the finished house with you room by room. We do not close out until you are satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions About Whole Home Remodeling in Port St. Lucie
These are the questions Port St. Lucie homeowners ask us most before a whole home remodel. If yours is not covered here, call (772) 666-3459 or stop by our showroom and we will walk you through it.
How much does a whole home remodel cost in Port St. Lucie?
A whole home remodel in Port St. Lucie typically starts around $75,000 for a cosmetic remodel of a mid sized home, covering kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, and paint, and runs well past $150,000 once layout changes, structural work, electrical upgrades, and repiping are involved. Pricing depends on square footage, scope, and materials.
How long does a whole home remodel take?
A whole home remodel on the Treasure Coast typically takes 2 to 4 months from demolition to final walkthrough, depending on square footage, how much of the layout changes, and how much permitted work is involved. Sequencing matters more than crew size, and you receive a written schedule before demolition begins.
Do you handle permits for a whole home remodel?
Yes. We pull the required permits with the St. Lucie County or City of Port St. Lucie building department for structural changes, plumbing relocation, and electrical work, and we schedule the inspections. Unpermitted remodeling work is one of the most common problems we are called in to correct, usually when a homeowner is trying to sell.
Can you remove a load bearing wall to open up my floor plan?
Yes. Opening a closed floor plan is the most requested structural change we do in Port St. Lucie, especially in homes built in the 1980s and 1990s. Load bearing wall removal requires a permit, engineering, a properly sized beam, and inspection, all of which our general contractor license covers.
What is the difference between a home remodel and a home renovation?
A remodel changes the structure, layout, or function of your home, such as removing walls, moving plumbing, or converting a closed floor plan to open concept, and it requires permits and a licensed contractor. A renovation updates finishes and fixtures without changing the layout. Elite Home Improvements handles both, and our general contractor license covers the structural work a true remodel requires.
Do you install crown molding and interior trim?
Yes. We pull the required permits with your county or city building department for any condo work that needs one, including plumbing, electrical, and structural changes, and we schedule the inspections. Association approval and a building permit are two separate requirements, and most condo projects need both.
Does a whole home remodel increase my home's value?
Kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring return the most on a Treasure Coast home, and permitted work is what protects that value at resale. Unpermitted remodeling can complicate a sale, fail disclosure, and cost you at closing. Every structural, plumbing, and electrical change we make is permitted and inspected.
