- Family flow protected — most renovations let you stay in the house

Explore our workProcess
How a renovation actually runs.
Avorino actively involves clients throughout: walkthrough, drawings, permits, construction, and punch.


01 / 05
Walkthrough + scope
We meet at the house. Goals, constraints, the version worth the disruption.
02 / 05
Design + selections
Drawings + finish selections + allowance log. Selection-by-selection sign-off.
03 / 05
Permits + buyout
City permits where needed, trade buyout in our office, written change-order policy.
04 / 05
Construction
Containment, demo, rebuild. Family flow protected so you can stay in the house.
05 / 05
Punch + warranty
Punch list close, owner walk-through, then the tiered warranty (1-year fit & finish covers paint, trim, mirrors, flooring, cabinets, countertops; 4-year systems; 10-year structural).
How long does a renovation take in Orange County?
A whole-home renovation typically runs 4–9+ months from demo to final punch, depending on scope. Kitchen-only is 8–14+ weeks; a primary bath or single room is 5–8+ weeks. Avorino sequences custom-cabinet work (a 14–18+ week lead) and structural work in parallel, so the site never waits on a single trade.

How long does a whole-home renovation take in Orange County?
A whole-home renovation typically runs 4–9+ months from demo to final punch, depending on scope. Kitchen-only is 8–14+ weeks, primary-bath or single-room is 5–8+ weeks. Avorino sequences custom-cabinet (14–18+ week lead) and structural work in parallel so the site never waits on a single trade.
Do I need permits for a kitchen or bathroom renovation?
Yes. Any plumbing or electrical relocation, structural changes, or wall removals require permits in OC cities. Cosmetic finish swaps (cabinets, counters, tile) usually don't. Avorino pulls every required permit under our General-B License #1107538 and carries final inspection for you.
02 / Living with a renovation
Can you renovate while we live in the home?
For partial-scope work (single bath, primary suite, single-room kitchen): yes, with dust walls, daily-clean protocols, and a working-bath plan. For whole-house gut renovations we recommend short-term lodging; the build is faster and cleaner with the house empty. We'll lay out both options during the discovery call.
What's the difference between a renovation and a remodel?
We use them interchangeably, but technically a remodel changes the layout (move walls, relocate plumbing, restructure the floor plan), while a renovation refreshes the existing layout with new finishes, cabinetry, and fixtures. Avorino does both, and most projects end up being a mix of the two.
