What Is Remodeling Reimagined?

There’s a lot to consider when renovating your home. Budget, space, style and timelines, just to name a few. At COCOON, we reimagined the remodeling experience with a simple and guided 3-stage process. What this means is, we do everything possible at every stage to anticipate your needs, eliminate barriers and bring you into the process — and into the joy of transforming your space.

Whether you’re remodeling your home in West Chester, PA or anywhere in Chester, Montgomery, Delaware, New Castle, Bucks or Berks Counties, we’ll make it as convenient as possible so you feel uplifted and supported every step of the way. Plus, you can trust we know our stuff. We’ve been serving local homeowners for over a decade, and we are locals ourselves. We get that many homes across Southeastern PA were built quickly with cookie-cutter layouts, and these houses often lack the space, functionality and personality that today’s families need. Let us use our expertise to bring your vision to life, whether you want to add more space to your Cape Cod or open the walls in your 1950s ranch.

Ready to start an exciting journey toward a home you truly love? Let’s chat through your ideas!

Check Out Our Process

Stage 1: Space Planning

First, we explore what layout makes sense for you and your family. We start by listening to what you want and why. To your dreams of a family game room. To your need for extra bedrooms. As we plan your space, we work with you to understand the reasons behind your remodel.

We want to understand how you use your space, what you find challenging and what changes would make your daily life easier and more enjoyable. Whether you need a more open layout, more room or just a better flow, we work with you to create a remodeled space tailored to you.

Once we understand your goals and budget, our Architectural Designers develop a series of three potential layouts for your remodeled space. These layouts represent three different price points within your budget, showing you a range of what’s possible in your home. These plans are just the start of bringing your vision to life.

Stage 2: Design Selections

If you have an inspiration board with your favorite designs, you get to use it at this stage. That also means you must start narrowing down your selections. But you don’t have to worry that there are so many choices and so little time. We’re here to make the selections stage easy and exciting!

One of our Interior Designers guides you through this process. We offer options that reflect your style, stand up to the demands of daily life, and, of course, meet your budget. From floors and cabinets to light fixtures and paint, we help you choose the details that complement your vision.

We then incorporate all of your selections into a virtual floor plan. With virtual reality technology, you can “walk through” your new remodeled space and make any changes before we start construction.

Stage 3: Construction

Finally, we make your dream a reality. We notify the neighbors, pull the permits and schedule every detail so you never have to wonder what’s next. From the start of your remodel, we protect and care for your home as we would our own. Before construction begins, we prep your home with surface and floor protection as well as dust barriers. At the end of each day, we sweep up, pick up and wipe down. We know living in a construction zone can be challenging, so we strive to make it easier.

For all of its challenges, construction is also exciting. We know you want to follow the progress of your remodel and ensure that everything is going according to plan. To keep you up to speed, we share pictures and descriptions of completed tasks through our mobile app, every day. We’re always here to answer your questions and anticipate your family’s needs. We construct your new space while respecting your busy life.

How Long Does a COCOON Remodel Take?

From the first conversation to the finished space, most of our remodels span six to eight months. Here’s how it breaks down — the space planning and design stages typically take around four months. This gives us plenty of time to iron out all the details and create a design you fall in love with. Once construction begins, you can expect your remodel to be completed in about two to four months, depending on its complexity.

We don’t rush things — a home you’ll love for years deserves the time to get it right. And when you’re ready to reimagine a different space down the road, we’ll be here to guide you through that, too.

Does COCOON Handle Permitting for My Remodel?

Yes! You don’t have to worry about calling the township office or figuring out a building code — that’s our job. Our Architectural Designers handle it all, whether your renovation needs a simple permit or involves more complex zoning considerations. We know that every township and borough across the Philly suburbs, from Phoenixville to Kennett Square, has its own requirements, and we understand these quirks. Leave the paperwork to us so you can focus on the fun part.

With You from Start to Finish

Whether you want a home addition in West Chester or a bright and airy kitchen in Lansdale, remodeling should be a personal experience, so we treat it that way. For us, it’s not just about blueprints and budgets. It’s about people. It’s about walking alongside you as we plan, design and construct your new space. It’s about using our skills to guide you through the home renovation process one stage at a time. It’s about making you feel uplifted, inspired and joyful in your own home. It’s remodeling, reimagined.
