Whole-Home Renovation

Renovating a Home You Already Love

Home remodeling is different from a single-room update, and different from tearing a house down to rebuild it from the slab up. It’s the work in between: reworking a floor plan, replacing aging structural, electrical, and plumbing systems, and updating finishes throughout the house, all while the existing foundation and framing stay in place wherever they’re still sound. Goodyear is a growing West Valley city in Maricopa County with a genuine mix of established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions, and that distinction matters for homeowners here, because it changes the permitting path, the budget, and how long you’ll need to work around construction.

Most whole-home remodels we take on in Goodyear start with a single frustration — a closed-off kitchen, a primary suite that no longer fits how a family lives — and grow into a broader scope once we’re inside the walls. Older homes in the area’s more established neighborhoods often carry undersized electrical panels, aging plumbing nearing the end of its service life, and ductwork that was never sized for today’s cooling loads. We treat a whole-home remodel as the opportunity to correct all of it at once, rather than patching one system today and discovering the next one needs attention in two years.

Because a whole-home remodel touches structural, electrical, and plumbing systems throughout the house, we manage it the same way we manage new construction — one team accountable for design, permitting, and construction under a single contract, with a line-item budget covering every room in the scope before you sign off on anything. If you already have an architect or designer, we’re glad to build from their plans instead.

Permitting, Phasing & Local Considerations

A whole-home remodel in Goodyear moves through Maricopa County and City of Goodyear permitting for structural, electrical, and plumbing work, and through a separate architectural review process in many planned communities. We confirm which reviews apply to your property and build realistic lead time for each into the schedule before signing a contract, so a design-committee resubmittal doesn’t blindside the project midway through.

Because most of our Goodyear clients stay in the home during a remodel, we sequence the work room by room or wing by wing rather than opening the entire house at once: kitchen and living areas first, then bedrooms and bathrooms, with temporary kitchens, dust containment, and trade scheduling planned around keeping at least part of the house livable at every stage.

Arizona’s hot-summer climate factors into the scope as much as the floor plan. We re-insulate and right-size HVAC for the home’s actual square footage rather than reusing an undersized system, upgrade roofing and stucco systems to current UV- and monsoon-rated standards, and plan drainage and grading changes around any footprint adjustments. If a room addition or structural expansion comes up during planning, see our home additions in Goodyear page for projects that add square footage rather than renovate what’s already there.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a whole-home remodel priced, compared to pricing a single room?

We build a line-item budget for the entire scope, room by room, based on actual material selections and trade pricing rather than a single lump allowance. That gives you a clear number for the kitchen, each bathroom, and any structural or system work before you sign off on the project.

What’s the difference between a whole-home remodel and a full teardown-rebuild?

A whole-home remodel keeps the existing foundation and most of the structural frame in place while updating layout, systems, and finishes throughout the house. A teardown-rebuild starts from a cleared lot; if your existing structure can’t support what you want, we’ll tell you honestly during the initial walkthrough rather than partway into design.

Do I need permits for a whole-home remodel in Goodyear?

Yes, most whole-home remodels involve electrical, plumbing, or structural changes that require permits from Maricopa County or the City of Goodyear, and we handle that filing and inspection scheduling as part of the project.

Can we stay in our home during the remodel?

Most clients do, and we plan the project specifically to make that possible by sequencing work room by room or wing by wing instead of opening the whole house at once.

How do you phase a whole-home remodel so we’re not without a kitchen or bathroom the whole time?

We typically sequence construction so no more than one kitchen or bathroom is fully out of commission at a time, using a temporary kitchen setup or a secondary bathroom to bridge the gap.

What should I expect from older homes’ electrical, plumbing, and structural systems?

Homes built more than a couple of decades ago commonly have undersized electrical panels, aging or outdated plumbing materials, and ductwork sized for a smaller cooling load than the home now needs. We assess all three during design so replacement costs are built into the budget up front.

Can you work with my own architect, or does Hickok Homes handle design too?

Both. We offer full design-build service for clients who want one team managing everything, and we also coordinate construction documents, engineering, and permitting around a design from your own architect.

Do you offer a warranty on completed remodels?

Yes, every whole-home remodel is backed by a workmanship warranty in addition to manufacturer warranties on individual systems and materials.

How long does a whole-home remodel take?

Timelines vary widely with scope, but most whole-home remodels in Goodyear run 4 to 9 months from permit issuance to final walkthrough.

Will an HOA review slow down my remodel?

It can add lead time if your community’s architectural committee only meets monthly, so we confirm whether your HOA requires design review and build its typical turnaround into the schedule before permitting starts.
