Whole Home Remodeling in Nashville, TN | Realtree Construction

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 We take houses that are outdated, cramped, or just not working and turn them into dream homes.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.
• Cheaper Than Moving - Realtor fees, closing costs, and moving expenses add up.

• Better Than Piece by Piece - One big project is more efficient.

Most Nashville families stay elsewhere for 3-5 months.
