Full Home Renovation Contractor in Ocala and Marion County

In Ocala and the rest of Marion County, most full home renovations we see land between $80,000 and $250,000, depending on size, age, and how deep we go. A smaller 1,200–1,500 sq ft home with mostly cosmetic work might start in the $80,000–$120,000 range. Older block homes that need new roof, mechanicals, windows, and full interior rebuild can push $150,000–$250,000+. We walk the property, build a real scope, and then price it line by line so you know where every dollar is going.

Most full home renovation projects in Marion County run 8 to 20 weeks once permits are in hand. A lighter cosmetic renovation with no structural changes can be closer to 8–12 weeks. A full gut with structural work, roof coordination, and full mechanical upgrades can reach 16–20+ weeks, especially on larger homes. We build the schedule around your property and keep you updated as inspections, material lead times, and trades move through the job.

If we are touching structure, moving or adding walls, changing electrical or plumbing, or replacing windows and doors, you will need permits through the County Building Department or your city if it is incorporated. Cosmetic work like paint and swapping flooring typically does not require permits, but a true full home renovation almost always does. We handle permit pulling, plan submissions, and inspection coordination so you are not dealing with the building department directly.

Sometimes, but not always. On heavy full home renovation work in Ocala FL, especially full guts or when we are reworking electrical, plumbing, or HVAC, it is usually safer and faster for you to move out during the active phases. For more moderate renovations, we can often phase the work so you keep part of the home livable. We will be straight with you after the walkthrough about what living in the property would really look like so you can plan accordingly.

Yes. We regularly handle storm and water damage renovations in Marion County and across North Central Florida. We review the adjuster’s scope, document the damage with photos and estimates, and communicate with your carrier or public adjuster as needed. Our detailed line item proposals make it easier to reconcile what the insurance company is paying for and what you may want to upgrade beyond that scope.

A full renovation means we are touching most or all of the home — multiple rooms, systems, and often the exterior. Think full interior repaint, flooring throughout, kitchens and baths, mechanical updates, and exterior repairs all in one coordinated project. A partial renovation might be just the kitchen and one bath, or only interior finishes with no mechanical or structural work. We do both, but we will be clear in the estimate whether we are talking about a full home renovation or a targeted partial so your expectations and budget stay aligned.
