rehauling

Doing major renovations

Rehauling is the act of overhauling again or thoroughly renovating something: The engine needs rehauling after years of neglect.

The word appears less frequently than its root overhaul, which already implies comprehensive repair or revision.

Some use it to emphasize repeated or extensive renovation: We're rehauling the entire curriculum.
