Reconfiguration (layout changes and structural work)

• Remove or move walls

• Change room sizes and flow

• Move kitchens or bathrooms

• Add square footage or rework entries

This is higher impact but requires more planning and often more permitting.

San Diego tip: Many older homes were built for a different lifestyle. Reconfiguration is often what makes a home feel modern, but it should be guided by a clear plan so the home does not become “open but awkward.”
