Step 7: Construction sequence—what happens first?

By RemodelSD | January 09, 2026 | San Diego

A typical whole-home remodel sequence:

1) Demo and site protection

2) Framing and structural work

3) Rough electrical/plumbing/HVAC

4) Inspections at key milestones

5) Drywall, prep, and prime

6) Flooring, cabinetry, tile

7) Paint, trim, finishes

8) Fixtures, hardware, appliances

9) Punch list and final walkthrough

The smoother the plan, the smoother the sequence. Clarity up front buys speed later.
