Whole home remodeling in Poway
More than one room, designed as one home.
A whole home remodel is any project that redesigns more than one room as a single plan, from a primary suite and the bathrooms beside it to the entire floor plan, inside and out.
Kaminskiy designs and builds whole home remodels across San Diego County: one plan, one permit set and one contract for every room,. A kitchen that opens to the dining room, bathrooms that match, a primary suite where two closets used to be, a second story over a one-story bungalow. Our designers, architectural drafters and project managers plan every room together, so the materials match, the permits are pulled once and the home reads as one home instead of a collection of projects. Founded in San Diego by Sergei Kaminskiy, and still founder-led.
Poway's ranch homes on half-acre lots, Green Valley and Old Poway give room for additions, outdoor living and the kind of whole-home remodel families plan to grow old in. Permits for whole home remodels in Poway are issued by the City of Poway. Our design and architectural team drafts the construction documents, a licensed structural engineer stamps them where the scope calls for it, and we submit them and manage the whole process for you.

A whole home remodel in Poway: a 1970s ranch, opened to its half acre.
The Poway whole home remodel is usually a single-story ranch from the 1960s or 1970s on a half acre: low ceilings, a closed kitchen, bedrooms down a dark hall, and a yard the house ignores. The plan opens, the ceilings often rise into the attic, every system is replaced, and the house turns toward its lot. Our Poway glamorous whole home in the gallery is the full version.
Many Poway ranches have an attic over an eight-foot ceiling. Vaulting the main rooms into it, taking the wall between kitchen and family room, and replacing the sliders with wide openings to the patio change the house more than any finish. Our structural engineer sizes the beams; the City of Poway permits the work.

A 1970s panel, galvanized water lines, a furnace from the 1990s and single-pane windows. A whole home remodel replaces them while the walls are open, adds insulation and attic ventilation for the Poway heat, and brings the lighting to California's Title 24 code.
In the hills and at the edges of Green Valley the remodel is the time to bring the house to the ignition-resistant rules: ember-resistant vents, protected eaves, tempered windows, a Class A roof. It is cheaper during a remodel than as its own project, and insurers notice.
Families who bought the ranch for the lot and are now doing the house; owners who intend to retire in a single-story home and want it done once; and buyers of an original 1970s house who want it finished before they move in. One contract, the price in writing before demolition.
Finishes are chosen at our Design Center in Rancho Bernardo, about 12 minutes away; the first appointment is a walk through your house with the designer.

The Poway whole home remodeling guide
Whole home remodeling in Poway, in detail.
How a whole home remodel goes in a Poway ranch.
Ceilings, the kitchen wall, the baths, the floors, the windows and sliders, the lighting plan, and every system. The house ends up facing its yard.
On septic, the system's capacity is checked against the bedroom count before design. Rearranging rooms is fine; adding bedrooms needs the capacity.
A single-story ranch is hard to phase; many Poway families move out for the heavy months. We talk it through before the contract.
A City of Poway building permit; fire-zone rules where they apply. Six to twelve months from the first visit to completion. An addition in the same project is designed and permitted with it.

Read all FAQsNothing. The in-home design consultation is complimentary anywhere in Poway. A designer comes to your home, listens to what you want to change, takes measurements and photos, and tells you honestly whether we are the right fit for the project.
We do. Permits for whole home remodels in Poway are issued by the City of Poway. Our design and architectural team drafts the construction documents, a licensed structural engineer stamps them where the scope calls for it, and we submit them and manage the whole process for you.
Often, yes. Many 1970s ranches have an attic the main rooms can vault into. Our structural engineer checks the roof framing, and it is one of the changes that transforms the house most.
Six to twelve months from the first visit to completion, depending on scope. Design and the City permit come first.
Yes. If your home is in a fire hazard zone, the remodel is the time to add ember-resistant vents, protected eaves, tempered windows and a Class A roof, all cheaper while the house is open.
Any project that redesigns more than one room as a single plan. That can be a primary suite and the two bathrooms beside it, the whole first floor, or every room inside and out, including a second story. The scope is yours to set. What makes it a whole home remodel is that the rooms are designed together, so the materials, the layout and the schedule all belong to one plan.
It depends on the size and age of the home, how many walls move, and whether plumbing, electrical or structure change. Finish level matters too. What we promise is a fixed price in writing before anything is demolished: at the design and bid presentation you see every line of the scope, the contract and the schedule together. Our kitchen and bathroom cost calculators on this page give honest ranges for the two rooms that usually set the budget.
Sometimes, and we plan for it either way. Smaller scopes can be built in a sequence that keeps a kitchen or a bathroom working. Larger ones are usually easier, faster and cleaner with the home empty. We talk through temporary arrangements with you before the start date goes on the calendar, never after.
Yes. The plan is drawn once, as one home, and can be built in phases as budget and life allow. Because the design, the materials and the permit set already exist, each phase matches the last. We wrote a guide to phasing a whole home remodel in San Diego, linked below the questions.
No. Our designers and architectural drafters create the plans, a licensed structural engineer stamps them where the scope calls for it, and the same company builds from those drawings. There is no handoff between a design firm and a contractor, and nothing falls into the gap between them.
