Transform the whole house, not just one room

A whole-home renovation is the biggest and most rewarding project most homeowners ever take on. It is also the easiest to get wrong when it is split across a dozen separate contractors. J&B Homes is your single, licensed East Bay general contractor for the entire renovation, so the kitchen, baths, floors, layout, and systems all come together as one cohesive home.

We handle structural changes, electrical and plumbing upgrades, insulation and drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and every finish, coordinating each trade so nothing falls through the cracks. From a full gut renovation of a Berkeley fixer to modernizing a classic Oakland Craftsman, we plan the work in phases that keep the project moving and your budget under control.

Why homeowners trust J&B with the whole house

  • Honest, fixed-scope pricing. You will know what the project costs before we start.
  • One schedule, one point of contact. No coordinating trades yourself.
  • Permitted and to code. Structural, electrical, and plumbing done right behind the walls.
  • Design help throughout. We tie every room together into one cohesive home.

Whether you are renovating to finally love your home or preparing it for the next chapter, we build whole-home renovations that respect the character of East Bay homes while bringing them fully up to date.

Whole-Home Renovation FAQs

The questions East Bay homeowners ask us most. Do not see yours? Just ask, we are happy to help.

How much does a whole-home renovation cost?

It varies widely with the size of the home and how much you change. Rather than guess, we walk the home, understand your goals, and deliver an itemized, fixed-scope estimate so you can prioritize with confidence and no surprise change orders.

How long does a whole-home renovation take?

Most whole-home projects run several months depending on scope, permitting, and whether the home is occupied. We build a phased schedule up front and keep you updated weekly so you always know what is happening.

Can I live in my home during the renovation?

Sometimes, depending on scope. For lighter renovations we phase the work room by room; for full gut projects it is usually easier to stay elsewhere. We will talk through the most practical plan for your family.

Do you handle permits and structural engineering?

Yes. We manage the permitting process with your city and coordinate any structural engineering required for wall removals, additions, or foundation work.

Can you renovate an older Oakland or Berkeley home?

Absolutely, it is our specialty. Older East Bay homes often hide knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, and foundation issues, and we address them properly while preserving the character that makes these homes special.

Will a whole-home renovation increase my home value?

Yes. Updated kitchens, baths, systems, and layouts are among the strongest drivers of home value in the East Bay, and a cohesive renovation shows beautifully whether you are staying or selling.
