Transform Your Entire Home
Love your neighborhood but your house needs serious work? A whole home remodel might be exactly what you need. Instead of moving or doing one room at a time over years, you can transform your entire Nashville home in one project.
At Realtree Construction, we specialize in complete home renovations. We take houses that are outdated, cramped, or just not working and turn them into dream homes. New layout, updated systems, modern finishes – everything gets done at once.
We've been doing whole home remodels across Nashville for years. We know how to manage big projects, keep you informed, and deliver results that exceed expectations.
What is a Whole Home Remodel?
A whole home remodel means we renovate your entire house, not just one room. This typically includes:
- New kitchen with better layout
- Updated bathrooms (all of them)
- New flooring throughout
- Fresh paint everywhere
- Updated lighting and fixtures
- New windows and doors
- Possibly moving walls or changing the layout
- Upgrading electrical and plumbing systems
- New HVAC if needed
- Sometimes adding square footage
It's basically everything except the foundation and main structure. When we're done, your house looks and functions like new construction.
Why Do a Whole Home Remodel?
- Love Your Location – Great neighborhood, good schools, close to work. Why move when you can renovate?
- Cheaper Than Moving – Realtor fees, closing costs, and moving expenses add up. Remodeling often costs less.
- Get Exactly What You Want – Design everything to fit your family’s needs.
- Better Than Piece by Piece – One big project is more efficient.
- Update Old Systems – Electrical, plumbing, HVAC – do it all at once.
- Maximize Your Investment – Whole-home updates add more value.
- Make Old Houses Work for Modern Life – Open layouts, more bathrooms, functional spaces.

Do I Have to Move Out?
Yes, for safety and efficiency.
Reasons include:
- Work happens in every room
- Power and water may be off
- Dust and noise are constant
- It’s unsafe to live in active construction
Most Nashville families stay elsewhere for 3–5 months during a remodel.
