New Boston homes are mid-century steel-era housing stock: typically 1,200 to 1,800 square feet, three bedrooms, one bath, original windows, plaster walls, cast iron drains. The right whole-home renovation here keeps the character (the original trim work, the solid framing, the established trees) but updates everything inside the walls. Done right, the home performs like new and looks better than new construction in the neighborhood.. HHS Contracting handles whole-home renovations in New Boston 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 New Boston Whole-Home Renovations Are Their Own Job
Plaster walls and cast iron drains are the two big surprises in New Boston whole-home work. Both are common, both are manageable, both need to be in the scope from day one. Plaster is heavier than drywall and slower to demo, but the walls behind it are usually fine. We patch with new drywall where we cut for electrical and plumbing rough-ins. Cast iron drains corrode from the inside; we replace with PVC when the wall is open.
What a New Boston 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 New Boston
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 New Boston 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.
