A cosmetic rehab focuses on the finishes of your home—like paint, flooring, cabinets, lighting, and bathrooms—without tearing down walls or moving plumbing. It’s faster, more affordable, and less stressful than a full renovation.

This typically includes things like: painting (walls, cabinets, trim); installing new cabinets or cabinet refacing, installing new cabinet hardware, new countertops, kitchen backsplash, flooring upgrades (LVP, engineered hardwood), lighting fixture swaps, bathroom vanity/mirror/fixture refreshes, bathroom tile updates, adding character with molding, wainscoting, accent walls, wallpaper, and exterior curb appeal updates (front doors, shutters, hardware, landscaping accents).  

Pricing depends on the size of your project (size of the space and scope of the project). Kitchen refreshes can start as low as $8,000, while full cosmetic updates of a home can range from $20,000–$50,000+. We provide detailed, transparent estimates upfront. Visit our Services page for more information on pricing.

Most cosmetic updates take 2–6 weeks, depending on the scope of work. We pride ourselves on staying on schedule and minimizing disruption in your home.

Our bread and butter is cosmetic rehab projects - if you are looking to knock down walls (especially structural walls), do major reconfigurations to the layout of the home, moving plumbing, or doing full gut jobs, we recommend working with a general contractor that specializes in that. 

Yes! We provide finish selection support to help you choose cabinets, paint, flooring, and fixtures that look beautiful together.  You can choose from our selection of 'design packages' (pre-selected sets of finishes) or work with us to create a custom design.

Using a Design Package takes the guesswork out of your renovation and streamlines the entire process:

• Saves time — no endless decision-making; every detail is already curated.
   
• Speeds up construction — with selections predetermined, contractors can work faster and avoid delays.
   
• Accurate quotes upfront — contractors know exactly what materials they’re installing, reducing surprises.
   
• Cohesive look — every piece is designed to work beautifully together, so you get a polished, intentional space.

Pricing depends on the size of your project. Kitchen refreshes can start as low as $8,000, while full cosmetic updates of a home can range from $20,000–$50,000+. We provide detailed, transparent estimates upfront.

Most contractors don’t lead with design. Most designers don’t manage execution affordably. At Revival Home Design, we do both — ensuring you get a beautiful, cohesive home transformation at a price that makes sense.
