Hi There! We are Yohana and Roy Hykal. We design and renovate client homes. Roy is a General Contractor with an MBA from Wake Forest University. Yohana is a realtor and designer, but also manages the day to day operations of Hykal Homes. This combination of skillsets allows us to advise our clients on what the best investment is for their homes and how to maximize this investment both aesthetically and financially. We take pride in the work we do and the relationships we develop along the way and we believe our best asset is our team. We are able to turn around our renovations in a fast and efficient manner thanks to our large team of trade experts that go with us from house to house, turning each project into the most beautiful house in the neighborhood. When we are not working, we are with our family. We have two beautiful, fun kids and love spending time with them traveling, dining out, at the park, or just lounging at home.
"We LOVED working with Yohana and the whole Hykal Homes teams! My husband and I hired them to do a full home renovation of our early 1990s home, including complete kitchen and bathroom remodels, a new laundry room space, completing an unfinished basement, fresh paint everywhere, fireplace refinish, among many others. We really enjoyed having our contractor and design team all as one so that it was a seamless process of picking beautiful things while also ensuring those beautiful finishes all stayed fully within the budget. The whole Hykal Homes construction team was also wonderful. We fully trusted them with our home. For such a massive project, it only took about 5 months from start to move in date (even with some delays from the city that were out of HH control) which was much quicker than any other company while still ensuring such high quality and beautiful work. 100% recommend!!"

Luxury renovations require anywhere from several months to over a year for completion, depending on project complexity and material availability. Comprehensive transformations involving structural changes, extensive system upgrades, or specialized finishes demand longer timelines due to the sequential nature of construction phases. Custom elements, such as handcrafted cabinetry, imported stone, or specialized architectural features, often have extended production and delivery schedules, sometimes adding months to the overall timeline compared to standard renovations.
Comprehensive home automation represents the cornerstone of contemporary luxury renovations, encompassing integrated systems for lighting, climate, security, and entertainment. Spacious, multifunctional layouts continue to dominate, with emphasis on creating seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Wellness-focused features, such as home spas, advanced air filtration, and specialized lighting systems, are gaining prominence. Universal design elements that accommodate aging in place without sacrificing aesthetics have become increasingly important, incorporating features like zero-threshold showers and elegant grab bars that blend seamlessly with luxury design schemes.
Consider temporary relocation when your renovation involves multiple rooms or impacts essential systems, such as water or heating. Living through major construction creates significant challenges, including dust contamination, noise disruption, privacy concerns, and limited access to basic facilities. If staying during the renovation, plan to establish functional living zones isolated from the construction areas, potentially including temporary kitchen arrangements or alternative bathroom facilities. For targeted renovations affecting limited areas, remaining in your home may be feasible with proper containment measures and clear communication with your construction team regarding your living requirements.
Begin your search by consulting friends and colleagues who have completed similar high-end projects in your area. Examine potential contractors specifically for luxury work similar to your vision, noting the quality of finishes and attention to detail. Request comprehensive proposals that delineate materials, labor, timelines, and payment schedules. Verify credentials, including licensing, insurance coverage, and specialized certifications relevant to luxury construction. Schedule in-depth consultations to assess communication styles and design sensibilities, ensuring the contractor fully appreciates your aesthetic goals and quality expectations.
Anticipate potential expenses for addressing concealed structural issues that only become apparent during demolition, such as inadequate support systems or outdated wiring requiring comprehensive updates. Budget for possible permit complications, including special reviews for historical properties or engineering assessments for complex structural modifications. Infrastructure upgrades often become necessary when adding luxury features, including electrical capacity enhancements for new systems or plumbing modifications for specialty fixtures. Environmental remediation for discovered hazards, such as lead paint or asbestos, can incur significant unplanned costs. Establishing a contingency fund of 15 to 20% helps manage these unexpected developments without compromising your renovation vision.
