Whole Home Remodel Contractor in Long Branch and Monmouth County, NJ
Get It All Done At Once
Trusted Since 2021
Full Home Updates Done The Right Way
A whole home remodel is the project where most general contractors get exposed. One bathroom is one trade. A full kitchen is two or three. A whole house renovation is every trade running at the same time, and the finished result depends entirely on how the project is managed. Framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, tile, paint, trim, all of it has to happen in the right order with the right people.
Master Build & Design has over 20 years of experience running full home renovations across Long Branch and Monmouth County, and we run them with one in-house crew and one point of contact: Fabian Diaz. We’re a licensed remodeling contractor (NJ HIC #13VH12477300) that takes ownership of your renovation from the first walkthrough to the final punch list.
What A Whole House Renovation Includes
Scope varies by project, but a full home renovation in Monmouth County typically involves several of the following:
- Kitchen Gut Renovations - with new cabinets, countertops, layout changes, and appliance coordination
- Multiple Bathroom Remodels - often a primary suite plus one or two secondary bathrooms
- Flooring Throughout - hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, tile, or a mix depending on room function
- Interior Paint & Trim - throughout the entire home including baseboards, door casings, window casings, and crown molding
- Layout Changes - removing walls, opening sightlines, reconfiguring how the home actually lives day to day
Not every whole home remodel includes all of these. Some homeowners want the full gut. Others want to refresh everything cosmetically without moving walls or changing layouts. We scope the project around what your home actually needs and what your budget supports.

What Type Of Renovation Are You Planning?
Gut Renovation Vs Cosmetic Whole Home Remodel
These are two different projects with very different budgets and timelines, and it’s important to understand which one you’re looking at before pricing begins.
01.
Gut Renovation
A gut renovation means taking the home down to the studs. All drywall comes out, all flooring comes up, plumbing and electrical are replaced or rerouted, insulation is upgraded, and the entire home is rebuilt from the framing out. This is the right approach when the home has significant structural issues, outdated electrical or plumbing systems, water damage behind the walls, or when you want to completely change the floor plan.
Gut renovations are common in older Long Branch homes built before the 1960s where the electrical, plumbing, and insulation are past their serviceable life. They’re also common when homeowners buy a property specifically to renovate it to their own standards.
02.
Cosmetic Whole Home Makeover
A cosmetic refresh keeps the existing walls, layout, plumbing, and electrical in place but updates every visible surface. New flooring throughout, new paint, updated bathrooms (tile, vanities, fixtures), kitchen cabinet refacing or replacement, new trim, new lighting fixtures, and updated hardware. The bones stay, the finishes all change.
This approach makes sense when the home’s mechanical systems and structure are sound but the finishes are dated. It’s significantly less expensive and faster than a gut renovation.
Questions Before You Start Your Whole House Renovation
Whether your project is small or large, it’s a lot to handle and we want to make sure your questions are answered so you can feel confident in starting your project with our team.
Pricing depends entirely on scope and finish level. A light refresh runs $80,000 to $150,000. A mid-range full renovation runs $180,000 to $325,000. A high-end gut with layout changes and premium finishes runs $400,000 to $750,000+. We provide a detailed estimate after a walkthrough.
A light refresh runs 8 to 14 weeks. A mid-range renovation runs 4 to 7 months. A high-end full gut with structural changes runs 6 to 12 months. We commit to a phased timeline with milestones at the estimate stage.
It depends on scope. If we can phase the work and leave you a functioning kitchen or bathroom at all times, yes. If we're gutting the kitchen and primary bathroom simultaneously, temporary relocation is usually more practical. We plan phasing around your living situation.
For most whole home remodels we can handle design in-house through our partner network. For projects involving major structural changes, additions, or engineered drawings, we bring in a licensed architect or engineer as part of the project budget.
