A whole-home remodel is where a house becomes your home. It’s also where projects go sideways when nobody owns the whole thing — kitchens, baths, flooring, electrical, and structural work all colliding on one schedule. IBBUILDERS runs the entire renovation under a single accountable team, with a written scope and price up front and a live client portal so you always know what’s happening in your house.

Our Work
What Clients Say
“He does what he says he’s going to do, and he cares about the people he’s working for more than most.”
“They did a great job with all the different jobs — and were really good at finding workarounds for this old house.”
Why it takes a true GC
The hardest part of a full-house remodel isn’t any single trade — it’s the sequencing. One trade running late stalls the next five. We coordinate every trade under one point of contact, keep the site clean and safe, protect the parts of your home we’re not touching, and hold the schedule so the project keeps moving.
What drives the cost of a whole-home remodel
It depends on the home’s size, how much you’re changing, the finish level, and whether structural or permit work is involved. Hawaii’s material costs and labor market add to mainland averages. We scope every project individually after walking the home, then put the full price in writing — no surprises.
Built for Hawaii
We build for island living — moisture, salt air, single-wall construction, and the way local homes are really used. Quality materials, honest timelines, and a 1-year workmanship warranty covering all the work, including our subcontractors’ work, plus manufacturer warranties on your materials.
Whole-Home Remodel FAQs
How long does a whole-home remodel take on Oahu?
It depends on the scope — a single-level renovation might run 3–5 months, while a full gut with structural changes or additions can take 6–9 months. We give you a written schedule before work starts and update it as the project moves.
Can I stay in my home during a full renovation?
It depends on the scope. Some projects allow phased work where you stay in part of the house; others need you out for a stretch. We plan for this during the walkthrough and give you a straight answer before you commit.
Do I need permits for a whole-home remodel in Hawaii?
Almost always, yes — especially if you’re moving walls, plumbing, or electrical. As your licensed GC (BC-39795) we handle all DPP permits and inspections so the project closes out clean.
How do you handle trade sequencing across the whole house?
That’s the hard part of a full-house renovation, and it’s exactly why you hire a general contractor. We coordinate every trade under one schedule, one point of contact, and one written scope so nothing stalls or collides.
