Use A Responsive Grid Framework or Modify Existing CSS for an Large Web Application

Hi Guys,
I have a customer facing huge web application. For years we have managed a separate mobile website but I believe it is time that we start investing time into a responsive design for easier maintenance and more screen size coverage with the same code stack. I’m a bit split up about which way to go.

If we adopt bootstrap then we will have to modify hundreds of pages to implement the classes to HTML, then on top of that we still have to modify the look because our design is totally custom.
If we convert/modify existing classes to be responsive, that saves the time to update HTML (I’m sure we might still have to do this but not each and every element and page). So by modifying the CSS and adding more media queries we can have a more responsive site.

Anyone of you guys have dealt with a similar issue? What did you learn with your experience? Is there any other solutions out there that can give us a head start?

I look forward to your suggestions.

Thank you!
