I am not an owner… but a residential architect. I’ve worked on several DC row home projects over the years. If you can afford it, I would do the whole renovation at once. If you want to phase it I would start with the pop up and new roof/insulation while you’re at it. If you aren’t planning on moving any major walls then you might be able to live in the construction. It really depends on the scale of the project. Full gut renovations can reveal hidden issues that may take longer to resolve. We have projects that are complete at or near the deadline but there are definitely many that go over by a few months. Some cases 6mo-1yr. It may be stressful for a while but getting your own custom house the way you want it is super rewarding.
