Frequently Asked Questions About Whole Home Remodeling

Curious about what to expect? Here are answers to some of the most common questions homeowners ask about whole home remodeling.

Why does a whole home remodel with S. Brown Construction start with such an in-depth design phase?expand_more
A full renovation touches structural elements, mechanical systems, finishes, and layout. Investing in design and project development up front allows us to clarify scope, document every selection, and align the work with your budget before any demolition begins. This is how we remove as much guesswork as possible and build the trust that is central to our process.
How long does a whole home remodel usually take in the Lafayette area?expand_more
Timelines vary based on the size of the home, level of structural change, and complexity of selections. The design and planning phase alone can span several months for larger homes, followed by a construction schedule that often runs many additional months. Once your design is complete, we can provide a more precise timeline for your specific project.
Can I live in my home during a whole home remodel?expand_more
For smaller scope renovations, it may be possible to live on site with phased work. For most true whole home remodels, we typically recommend arranging alternative housing, since multiple areas of the home and key systems will be disrupted for an extended period. We will talk through options early so you can plan with confidence.
What drives the cost of a whole home remodel in Lafayette, IN?expand_more
Project cost is influenced by the age and condition of the existing home, structural modifications, mechanical and energy efficiency upgrades, finish level, and square footage. During design, our team develops detailed plans and selections instead of relying on broad allowances, so your estimate reflects real decisions and realistic numbers.
Do you take on whole home remodels outside Lafayette itself?expand_more
Yes. In addition to Lafayette, we regularly work in West Lafayette, Battle Ground, Rossville, Brookston, and nearby rural properties for clients who want a structured, design forward remodeling experience.

A Proven Process That Brings Clarity to Every Project

1 | Initial Meeting and Project Understanding
We begin by meeting at your home to learn about your goals, priorities, and the challenges with your current space. This conversation helps us understand scope, feasibility, and how the project should move forward. You can expect open discussion, clear communication, and guidance based on decades of experience. The goal is to determine whether the project is the right fit and outline the next steps with confidence.
2 | Design, Planning, and Budget Alignment
Once the design agreement is signed, our team develops detailed drawings, material selections, and specifications for your project. Every decision is documented so you know exactly what the finished space will include and what it will cost. This structured planning phase often takes several weeks and ensures clarity, accuracy, and a fully developed scope before construction begins. By the end of this step, you have a complete design package and a confirmed investment.
3 | Construction and Project Completion
After approving the plans and budget, we move into construction with a clear roadmap. Our team manages the schedule, subcontractors, and quality control while keeping you updated throughout the build. The work is completed according to the approved design and specifications, ensuring consistency from planning to final walkthrough. The project concludes when every detail meets our standards and yours.

What Our Clients Say

"S. Brown Construction Co. do highly skilled, quality work. They are a step above their competitors, highly recommended!"

Lucas Powell

"When it comes to home remodeling, finding a reliable and professional contractor can often feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Thankfully, S. Brown Construction, led by Scott Brown, is a shining exception in the industry.

From the very first consultation, Scott’s calm, patient demeanor and exceptional listening skills set the tone for a positive experience. He takes the time to fully understand your vision, ensuring that the project aligns perfectly with your expectations.

Scott’s team mirrors his professionalism and organizational skills. Their methodical approach turns the potential chaos of remodeling into a manageable, even enjoyable, journey. The process is clear and well-structured. They work seamlessly from start to finish, ensuring that every phase of the project is executed with precision and care."

Jennifer Kasper

"Scott and his team are wonderful to work with. I'm in a NAHB remodelers club with him and I know he is a person of integrity and respect. He has high standards of quality and will make sure his clients are happy and satisfied with his work and if its not right he will make it right as does everyone in the group."

Jeremy Blosser

"We really enjoyed working with Scott and his team. We did a huge remodel project with him that spanned several months.

Scott was one of three contractors that we worked with to quote this job. From the beginning we liked him the best and his quote came in the lowest which made the decision an easy. His team did a great job of communicating with us what was happening and when. They were very courteous, professional, and were kind of members of our family for a while. We did experience unplanned issues along the way, but Scott was quick to deal with them in a way that was acceptable to us. We would highly recommend them to anybody looking to do some work on their home."

Ben Schoon

"I had a bad leak in a bathroom which required the replacement of the subfloor, floor, vanity, and some drywall. S. Brown Construction worked with me to design a beautiful new bathroom with new tile and vanity. As they did the remodel, they protected the carpet on their entrance and path to the bathroom so that no damage was done to the rest of the house. Ella and Alex worked with me on scheduling their work with my schedule."

Donna Osborn

"S. Brown Construction Co. built a 400-square-foot addition to our house, integrated it with the existing structure, and also remodeled a bathroom. From the early design phase to the final completion, the team worked closely with us to ensure that our wishes were fulfilled, including not only the construction itself but also the budget. Based on our initially rough ideas, the chief designer developed a very creative and attractive plan and had a keen eye for detail. The team also worked hard to complete the project on schedule despite the challenges posed by the pandemic."
