When the home deserves to be reborn, not refreshed.
Estate-level, architecture-led renovation — the deepest work we do, handled with discretion.
Our approach
How we think about it
Some homes have the location and the bones but need to be taken back to studs and rebuilt to a new standard. This is our deepest work: architecture-led, coordinated across every trade, and built quietly. The result should read as though the home was always meant to be this way.
Scope
What's included
Gut renovation, structural reconfiguration, additions, high-end kitchens and baths, custom millwork, and full systems replacement — all under one plan.
Investment & timeline
What a project like this runs
Typical Houston range
$150,000–$600,000+
Typical timeline
about 4–9 months
A whole-home remodel in Houston runs roughly $150–$400+ per square foot; gut-to-studs work in River Oaks, Memorial and the Villages reaches the top of the range. Because every home is different, Bager gives you one fixed investment after the design phase — the number you approve is the number we build to.

How we work
One studio, start to finish
We build the way you'd want a neighbor to build. One dedicated project manager, communication on a schedule you can plan your life around, and a client portal so you're never chasing an update. Your investment is fixed before we break ground and your workmanship is warrantied in writing — Texas licensed and insured. We run a clean, respectful site and work around your life, not through it. You don't manage us; you live your life. That's the point.
Planning the budget? Synchrony offers deferred-interest plans of 12, 18 and 24 months for projects from a single bathroom to a whole home. See how financing works.
Questions
Answered plainly
- What does a whole-home remodel cost in Houston?
- Whole-home remodels in Houston run roughly $150–$400+ per square foot — commonly $150,000 to $600,000 or more, with gut-to-studs work in River Oaks, Memorial and the Villages at the top (2026 Houston market data). Bager resolves one fixed investment after the design phase.
- How long does a whole-home remodel take?
- Most whole-home projects run about 4–9 months depending on size, structural scope and selections. The design phase up front is what keeps the build predictable.
- Can we stay in the house during a whole-home remodel?
- Usually not for a full gut. We plan the move-out and phasing with you in design so there are no surprises, and on partial remodels we stage the work to keep part of the home livable.
- How does Bager keep a project this size from running over?
- Plans, selections and allowances are resolved on paper before demolition, the investment is fixed before we break ground, and one project manager runs the site and reports on a set cadence. Decisions happen before the build, not during it.
- Do you handle design and permits, or do I hire separately?
- Bager is design + build: one team takes it from concept and drawings through permits, construction and warranty. You have a single point of responsibility the whole way.
- Is the work warrantied?
- Yes. Every project closes with a documented punch list, care guidance and a written workmanship warranty.
