What to Expect During a Major Home Renovation: A Step-by-Step Guide

A full home renovation can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be.

At MISTI Construction, we believe the process should be as smooth and stress-free as the finished result. Whether you're gutting a kitchen, remodeling multiple rooms, or transforming your entire home, knowing what to expect can make a huge difference.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to a successful renovation — from first call to final walkthrough.

1. Initial Consultation & Vision Planning

We start by understanding your goals, lifestyle, timeline, and budget. Whether you have Pinterest boards or just a rough idea, we’ll help you define the vision and scope.

✅ Deliverable: A clear, written project outline and estimate.

2. Design, Materials & Selections

Once the plan is approved, we move into design and material selection. We’ll help you choose fixtures, finishes, paint colors, and layout adjustments that align with your style and budget.

💡 Tip: Having a decision-maker present during this phase speeds everything up.

3. Permits & Scheduling

Before we pick up a hammer, we handle all the permits and scheduling. Our team coordinates with inspectors, suppliers, and subcontractors to ensure every part of the job is compliant and on track.

✅ You’ll get a full project timeline up front.

4. Demo & Site Prep

Here’s where the transformation begins. We’ll remove old materials, prepare the space, and make any necessary structural adjustments. We also take extra care to minimize disruption and keep your home clean and safe.

💡 Yes, there will be dust — but we use protective barriers and daily cleanup protocols.

5. Construction Phase

Now the fun part: building. From framing and electrical to plumbing and finish work, our team brings the plan to life with quality craftsmanship and constant communication.

✅ You’ll get regular updates and walkthroughs to keep you in the loop.

6. Inspections & Final Touches

Before we close out the project, we’ll make sure everything passes code and client satisfaction. We walk through the space together and create a punch list of any final tweaks.

✅ You approve the work before we consider it done.

7. Completion & Handover

We don’t just finish the job — we follow through. You’ll receive a warranty on the work, any care instructions needed for new materials, and before-and-after photos for your records.

💡 Our job isn’t over until you’re thrilled with the results.

Final Thoughts

A major renovation doesn’t have to feel chaotic. With the right contractor and the right process, it can actually be exciting. You’re not just fixing a space — you’re transforming the way you live.
