Whole House Remodeling in Lehi, Utah
Some Lehi homeowners reach a point where updating one room at a time no longer makes sense. A kitchen from the same era as an unfinished basement, dated bathrooms, and a layout that never quite worked all add up to a house that needs to be addressed as a whole, not piecemeal. That is especially common in Lehi’s 2000s and 2010s subdivisions across Traverse Mountain, Holbrook Farms, and the west side, where an entire home was often finished to the same builder-grade standard at the same time and is now aging as a single unit. Ironwood Custom Builders takes on full-house renovations in Lehi with one project manager, one schedule, and one price covering the entire scope, using the same crews and detail-first process that go into our custom homes.
A whole-house remodel is a bigger commitment than any single-room project, both in scope and in how it disrupts daily life while work is underway. That is exactly why sequencing and communication matter more here than on any other project type. Rather than hiring separate contractors for the kitchen, bathrooms, and basement and hoping the timelines line up, you get one team accountable for the entire result from the first design meeting to the final walkthrough.
What a Lehi Whole House Remodel With Ironwood Includes
A whole-house remodel is not simply several single-room projects run back to back. It requires a coordinated plan across every trade so work sequences correctly and nothing gets redone. Here is what our full-service whole house remodeling covers:
Whole-house design and sequencing.
We design every room’s scope together upfront, kitchen, bathrooms, basement, and any structural or layout changes, so the plumber, electrician, and finish crews move through the house in the right order instead of returning to redo work.
Structural and layout changes.
Many Lehi homes benefit from opening the main floor, relocating a laundry room, or reworking a stair. We handle the structural assessment and engineering for changes that touch load-bearing walls anywhere in the house.
Kitchen and bathrooms as part of one plan.
Rather than treating the kitchen and bathrooms as separate jobs, we design them together so finishes, fixtures, and style stay consistent across the entire home.
Basement and additional living space.
If your scope includes finishing or reworking a basement, that work is sequenced into the same project rather than scheduled as an afterthought.
Systems upgrades.
Whole-house projects are the natural point to update electrical panels, plumbing lines, and HVAC systems that are original to the home, since walls are already open throughout the house.
Whole-house permitting.
We manage every permit the project requires through Lehi City and Utah County as one coordinated submission rather than a separate permit per room.
Project management.
One Ironwood project manager runs the entire job and is your single point of contact from the first design meeting to the final walkthrough, across every room and every trade.
What a Whole House Remodel Costs in Lehi
A whole-house remodel in Lehi typically runs $150,000 to $400,000 or more, depending on the home’s square footage, how many rooms are included, whether the scope includes structural or layout changes, and the finish level throughout. A partial whole-house scope, for example a kitchen, primary bath, and basement finish done together without touching every room in the home, generally runs $110,000 to $220,000.
This is a wide range by nature, because a whole-house remodel scope varies more than any single-room project. The difference with Ironwood is that you get a complete itemized estimate for your specific home and your specific scope before any work begins, room by room, so the number you receive reflects your actual project rather than a rough per-square-foot estimate.

Why Lehi Homeowners Choose Ironwood
Utah County permitting experience.
Lehi permits and inspects through Lehi City and Utah County, not Salt Lake County. On a whole-house project with multiple permits running at once, that local process knowledge keeps the entire schedule from stalling.
One coordinated plan, not several separate jobs.
Our pre-construction process sequences every room and every trade before work starts, which is what actually prevents the delays and rework that plague whole-house projects run as a series of disconnected contracts.
One point of contact for the entire house.
You work with one project manager across every room, every trade, and every inspection. No coordinating between a kitchen contractor, a bathroom contractor, and a basement contractor yourself.
Award-winning craftsmanship.
Ironwood has been recognized across nearly every category of the Parade of Homes, and the crew
s that build our custom homes are the crews that renovate your entire house.
On-time, on-budget guarantee.
Whole-house projects carry the highest risk of schedule slip and budget creep of any remodeling category. Our on-time, on-budget guarantee and upfront, room-by-room scoping are built specifically to prevent that.
How Your Lehi Whole House Project Unfolds
- Free consultation and estimate. We walk your entire Lehi home, discuss your goals room by room, and provide an initial estimate for the full scope. Schedule yours.

- Permitting. We submit and manage all Lehi City and Utah County permits the full scope requires, coordinated as one project rather than room by room.
