West Portsmouth properties run wider in age and style than the city proper. We’ve done whole-home renovations on river-valley ranches off US 52, hillside Cape Cods up Galena Pike, and older bungalows in the West End. Each one is a different project, but the common move is updating systems and reopening floor plans to match how people actually live now. HHS Contracting handles whole-home renovations in West Portsmouth as a single project (kitchen, baths, flooring, drywall, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, finishes) coordinated by one general contractor on one schedule under one quote. Call (740) 357-9020 for a property walk.
Why West Portsmouth Whole-Home Renovations Are Their Own Job
Older West Portsmouth homes were built with closed floor plans: kitchen separated from dining, living room walled off, sometimes a formal entry hall nobody uses. Modern remodel scope usually opens that up: kitchen-to-dining wall comes down, living room flows into kitchen, the formal hall gets repurposed as a mudroom or office. We handle the load-bearing assessment, beam install, electrical and HVAC reroute, drywall, and finish.
What a West Portsmouth Whole-Home Renovation Includes
Standard scope on a whole-home renovation runs across every trade: kitchen remodel, bathroom remodels (one to three depending on the home), flooring throughout, drywall and interior paint, electrical update, plumbing rough-in and fixtures, HVAC assessment and replacement if needed, light fixtures, doors and trim. Larger projects add roof, siding, and windows.
What It Costs in West Portsmouth
A cosmetic-only whole-home refresh (paint, floors, fixtures, light updates) runs $50,000 to $100,000. A standard whole-home renovation with new kitchen, two updated baths, flooring throughout, paint, and lighting lands at $100,000 to $200,000. A full gut-and-rebuild with structural changes, system replacement, and high-end finishes runs $200,000 to $400,000. Most West Portsmouth projects come in around the middle bracket because the existing systems usually need replacement.
How Long It Takes
Cosmetic-only refresh: six to ten weeks. Standard whole-home with new kitchen and bath: four to six months. Full gut-and-rebuild: six to nine months. Scioto County permits add two to three weeks on the front end. Most homeowners save money and stress by staying with family or renting short-term for the heavy demolition phase rather than living through it.
Why HHS for West Portsmouth Whole-Home Work

That coordination overhead is where projects spiral. Same crew handles the full job, same project manager runs the schedule, same accountability when something needs to be re-done.
