How much does a full home renovation cost in New Jersey?
Whole-house renovations in Ocean and Monmouth County generally run $75,000–$400,000+, set by square footage, how much is structural versus cosmetic, whether kitchens and baths are gutted, and the finish level. A sound home getting new finishes throughout sits lower; a down-to-studs renovation with moved walls, new systems, and premium finishes reaches the top. We scope it in phases so the number is transparent, not a mystery.
Exterior and interior — one contractor for both
Most contractors specialize in one side of the house. Paragon does both the exterior and the interior, which is the whole advantage of a full renovation under one roof: the roof, siding, and windows get sequenced alongside the kitchen, baths, flooring, and trim in a single plan. One mobilization, one schedule, one crew accountable for the finished house.
Built on a general contractor’s experience
Franchi Vacchiano has spent nearly four decades leading major builds — from Florida high-rises to the Borgata in Atlantic City — and Joe Ballaccomo brings 15+ years across roofing, solar, and home improvement. A whole-house renovation is exactly the kind of project that needs that depth: structure, systems, sequencing, and finish all coordinated so nothing gets built twice.
What a Paragon full renovation covers
- Whole-house scope and phasing — a realistic plan for how the work sequences and how you’ll live through it
- Every permit pulled and every inspection scheduled by us
- Licensed trades — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing, and finish — supervised as one team
- Exterior envelope — roof, siding, windows, doors, and gutters where the project calls for it
- Interior build-out — kitchens, baths, flooring, doors, trim, and paint
- Structural changes — removing walls, reworking layouts, and opening up space where the framing allows
- One contract and one point of contact from demolition to final punch list
Financing a renovation of this scale
A whole-house renovation is a major investment, and financing lets you build to the plan instead of cutting the scope to hit a cash number. We quote the real project in phases and help you structure it around a monthly payment.
