A Trusted Contractor for Whole Home Remodels in Portland

You love your neighborhood. Your home has good bones. But the layout or the aesthetic just isn’t working. Whether you bought a fixer-upper or just need a complete cosmetic refresh, a whole home remodel can be the right choice.
 
Here are some reasons why you might consider a whole home remodel:
  • The home wasn’t designed for how your family lives today.
  • The house needs structural or layout changes, not just cosmetic updates.
  • You’re planning to stay long-term and want the home to grow with you.
  • Previous renovations feel piecemeal or inconsistent.
  • You love the location, but the house no longer meets your needs.

If you’re considering a whole home remodel, the best option might be to speak with someone about your current home and your goals.

We’ve helped many homeowners navigate this process and can offer expert guidance whether you choose to remodel your whole home or not.

Remodeling vs. Moving: Is a Whole Home Remodel the Better Choice?

Many homeowners consider a whole home remodel after realizing their current house no longer fits their needs—but they still love the location, neighborhood, or lot. In these cases, remodeling can be a compelling alternative to moving.

A whole home remodel may make sense if:

  • You love where you live but not how your home functions

  • Comparable homes in your area don’t offer the layout or quality you want

  • You want to avoid the cost, competition, and stress of buying in today’s market

  • You’d rather invest in improving your current home than starting over elsewhere

Moving may be the better option if:

  • Your lot or zoning limits meaningful improvements

  • The home’s condition requires more work than makes financial sense

  • Your needs can’t realistically be met through remodeling

At Lamont Bros., we help homeowners think through this decision honestly. Our goal isn’t to push you toward the biggest project—it’s to help you determine the path that best supports your lifestyle, long-term plans, and investment.

What's Included in a Whole Home Remodel? 

A whole home remodel goes beyond updating individual rooms. It's a comprehensive approach that rethinks how your entire home functions, feels, and flows, while addressing underlying systems that support long-term comfort and performance. 

Depending on your goals, a whole home remodel may include: 

  • Comprehensive layout redesign: Reworking floor plans to improve flow, usability, and connection between spaces.

  • Kitchen and bathroom remodeling: Updating key living spaces as part of a unified design rather than isolated projects.

  • Structural changes: Removing or modifying walls, adding beams, or reconfiguring spaces to support new layouts.

  • Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC updates: Modernizing outdated systems to improve safety, efficiency, and comfort.

  • Flooring and finish continuity: Creating a cohesive look throughout the home with coordinated materials and details.

  • Custom storage and built-ins: Thoughtful solutions that reduce clutter and maximize usable space.

  • Accessibility and aging-in-place features: Designing with long-term needs in mind, without sacrificing style.
