Larsen's Take on Remodels
At Larsen, we’ve seen a significant rise in whole-house remodels topping well over the $1 million mark—and for good reason. In today’s market, where interest rates remain elevated and inventory of spec homes is limited, many homeowners are choosing to reimagine what they already own. Whether it’s a home in the perfect location or a property with great bones, a whole-house transformation can offer the best of both worlds: personalization while staying in your favorite neighborhood.
A multi-million dollar remodel isn’t just about swapping out cabinets and countertops and putting on some lipstick. These are full-scale transformations—gut renovations that touch nearly every surface of the home and often involve structural changes, new mechanical systems, modern layouts, and luxury-level finishes. It’s about bringing a home into alignment with how you live today, not how people lived 30 years ago.
For many of our clients, it’s about creating a home that feels like new construction without giving up the lot, the view, or the neighborhood they love. We’re talking new kitchens and bathrooms, reconfigured floor plans, upgraded HVAC and plumbing, new windows and doors, outdoor living enhancements, and technology that makes everyday life smoother.
With interest rates higher than they’ve been in years, homeowners are thinking twice before selling and jumping into a new mortgage, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have a new home. In this climate, putting money into your existing home—especially a thoughtful, well-designed remodel—is sometimes the smarter move. Not only do you avoid higher borrowing costs on a new purchase, but you also increase your home’s long-term value and livability. Our team has done some incredible work on homes 20-30 years old and the transformations have been unbelievable,.
We take on luxury whole-house remodels that require experience, coordination, and vision. We’re not a kitchen-and-bath outfit and don’t take on projects under $1m. We’re a full-service firm with architecture, interior design, and construction under one roof. That means from the first sketches to the final styling, your home stays in expert hands.
Every remodel we take on is unique, but what they all share is the goal of honoring what works, reimagining what doesn’t, and delivering a home that feels as intentional as a brand-new build.
If you’re considering a remodel that pushes into the seven-figure range, let’s talk. You don’t need to leave the home you love—you just need to make it work harder (and look better) for you.
