Player-house progression guide
House Renovation & Exterior Styles Guide
This specialist guide separates three systems: structural tiers that expand the home, interior wall/floor finishes, and exterior styles that change appearance only. It renders construction costs, materials and time from Buildings, consumes style unlocks from Chief Deliveries, and routes home Cooking to Cooking.

How to renovate
Use Kisuke's in-game service
Buildings is the site's canonical construction-data authority; Tree Construction is the in-game service.
01
Reach construction access
Follow story progression until Kisuke's construction service is available.
02
Finish the previous stage
Improved House precedes Large House; Large House precedes Basement.
03
Open Renovation
Use the Tree Construction notebook or renovation menu and select the available project.
04
Wait for the listed duration
The shared service is open 10:00–17:00 on weekdays and supports one active project at a time.
The current records do not establish one exact Rule, season or calendar day for the renovation menu. The listed build days are durations, not a guaranteed morning-after completion rule.
Improved House
Add the kitchen-equipped room
The first paid structural renovation adds space and the home-Cooking room.
Recipes, dishes, ingredients and recovery remain owned by Cooking.
Open the Cooking Guide →Large House / Two-Story House
Expand the second floor
This is one stable Buildings action: large-house.
The action exposes exterior-change options. No storage increase, exact dimensions or Cooking bonus is asserted.
Basement
Add a lower level
Basement adds a lower level after Large House; it does not replace that stage.
No storage, aging, furniture-capacity or machine bonus is claimed.
C · Exterior styles
Five appearance-only unlock families
Large House exposes the style system, while Chief Deliveries supplies eligibility. Four families currently consume normalized Buildings actions; Western-style keeps its recipe fields Unknown.

Completing a Chief Delivery category unlocks the corresponding style/construction option; it does not by itself prove that the exterior changes instantly. Repeat switching, repeat cost and previous-style persistence remain Unresolved.
Open the Chief Deliveries guide →Chief Delivery unlocks
Complete the full major category
These are category-completion rewards, not single subgroup rewards.
Fish → Large Fish Pond, Hunting → Bird Bath and High-Quality Goods → Greenhouse are functional building rewards, not exterior styles. The Brick item crafted from Clay is also separate from Brick Exterior.
Open the Chief Deliveries guide →B · Interior finishes
Walls and floors are separate renovation actions
These options also consume Buildings records; default state does not imply free switching.

FAQ
House Renovation questions
How do you upgrade your house?
Progress to Kisuke's Tree Construction service, open the Renovation tab, and order the next structural stage after completing its prerequisite and gathering the listed materials and money.
How much does Improved House cost?
Improved House (きれいなお家) costs Wood ×100, Stone ×100 and ¥8,000, with a listed two-day construction duration.
How much does Large House cost?
Large House costs Wood ×200, Hard Stone ×100 and ¥40,000, with a listed two-day construction duration.
How much does the Basement cost?
The Basement costs Wood ×400, Stone ×600, Weeds ×250 and ¥80,000, with a listed two-day construction duration.
When can I change the house exterior?
Exterior-change options are documented after the Large House stage. The style itself is then unlocked by completing its full Chief Delivery category.
How many exterior styles are there?
Five Chief Delivery exterior-style unlock families are documented: Stucco, Thatched Roof, Western-style, Brick and Log. Four currently have normalized Buildings construction actions; Western-style remains unresolved at the recipe level.
Do exterior styles change house size or functionality?
No. The exterior cards are appearance-only. House size, the kitchen-equipped room, second floor and basement come from structural renovations.
Can I switch exterior styles more than once?
Repeat switching, repeat material costs and previous-style persistence are not verified in the current source set, so the guide does not promise free or unlimited switching.
Are interior walls and floors the same as exterior styles?
No. Wallpapers and floors are separate interior renovation records installed through Tree Construction.
