Remodeling Work We Do
Our main work is kitchen remodeling: new layouts, moved plumbing and gas lines, added circuits, new flooring, opened or closed walls and proper range hood venting. We also handle bathroom remodeling, from tub-to-shower conversions to full gut jobs with new waterproofing. For bigger plans, our whole home remodeling covers several rooms under one plan and one schedule.

Why Homeowners Hire Us
Most remodeling trouble starts with work that skipped the city's review or got buried in a wall before anyone checked it. We run our jobs so that never happens.
We handle the city paperwork
If the job needs a permit, we apply for it. You do not stand in line at the city or sort through forms. The approval card goes up on site where the inspector can see it.
Nothing gets covered early
Plumbing, wiring and framing stay open until the rough-in inspection passes. Only then do we hang drywall. It costs a day of waiting and saves you from tearing out finished walls later.
Plain answers on code
Kitchen and bath work has rules you may not know about, like GFCI protection near water, dedicated appliance circuits and exhaust fans that vent outside. We tell you which ones apply to your job and why, in normal words.
A quote you can read
Your quote lists demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, flooring, city fees and cleanup as separate lines. If something changes, we write it down and you approve it before we do it.
Photos of what we find
Old houses hide things. When we open a wall and find rot, a bad splice or a leaky drain, we take a picture and show you before we talk about fixing it.
How a Job Runs
Most remodels follow the same steps. Here is what to expect from the first phone call to the last walk-through.
- 1
Phone call and visit
You call, we talk about what you want, and we set a time to come look. At the visit we measure, check the panel and plumbing, and look for anything that will drive the code work.
- 2
Written quote and plan
We send you a quote broken into parts. Once you sign off, we draw up what the city needs and file it.
- 3
Demolition and rough-in
We protect floors and close off the work area to keep dust down in the rest of your home. Then we tear out, frame, and run new plumbing and wiring. The inspector checks this work while the walls are still open.
- 4
Finish work
After rough-in passes, we insulate, hang drywall, lay flooring and set fixtures. We sweep and haul debris at the end of each day so you can still live in your house.
- 5
Final inspection and walk-through
The inspector does the final check. Then we walk the room with you, fix anything on your list, and hand over the signed-off paperwork for your records.
What Moves the Price
Every remodel is priced from the house in front of us. Two kitchens the same size can land far apart. Here is what makes the difference.
We give you a free quote after we see the space, and it is written out line by line. If we find hidden damage later, we show you, price it in writing and wait for your okay.
- Moving things around
- Keeping the sink, range and fridge where they are costs the least. Moving a sink means new drain and vent lines. Moving a gas range means a new gas line and a pressure test the inspector has to see.
- Walls and structure
- Taking out a wall that only holds drywall is simple. A load-bearing wall needs a beam sized for the load, sometimes an engineer's letter, and a framing inspection.
- Electrical upgrades
- Newer appliances often need their own circuits. If the panel is full or the wiring is dated, bringing it up to current code adds to the job, and it is work you do not want to skip.
- What is under the floor
- We do not know what the subfloor looks like until the old flooring comes up. Water damage near a dishwasher or toilet is common, and it has to be fixed before new flooring goes down.
- City fees
- What the city charges depends on the scope of the work. Plumbing and electrical reviews are often separate from the building review. We list each fee on your quote.
- Size of the job
- Square footage matters, but so does how many trades touch the room. A bath with new plumbing, wiring and tile takes more trips and more inspections than a simple refresh.
About Our Company
We are a remodeling company in Southlake, TX. We do kitchens first, bathrooms second, and whole home projects when a homeowner wants several rooms done at once. That is the whole list. We would rather do a few things well than chase every kind of job.
The way we work is simple. We tell you what the code requires, we file with the city, and we let the inspector see the work before it gets covered. If something is not right, we fix it before we move on. When you sell your house someday, you will have permits on file that show the work was done the right way.
Questions We Hear a Lot
Does my remodel need a permit?
Most do. Moving plumbing, adding circuits, changing a gas line or taking out a wall almost always needs city approval. Swapping flooring or painting usually does not. We will tell you at the first visit what your job needs, and we handle the filing.
What happens at an inspection?
A city inspector comes out and checks the work against code. The big one is the rough-in, when plumbing, wiring and framing are done but the walls are still open. Then there is a final inspection at the end, once the room is finished.
Do I need to be home when the inspector comes?
No. We set up each inspection and one of us is on site to meet the inspector. If anything gets flagged, we fix it and have it checked again before we go further. Either way, we tell you how it went.
How long will my kitchen be out of use?
It depends on how much changes. A remodel that keeps the layout goes faster than one that moves plumbing or walls. Inspection dates also set the pace. We give you a schedule with the quote and keep you posted if it shifts.
Can I stay in my home during the work?
Yes, most people do. We close off the work area, cover floors along the path in and out, and clean up each day. For a kitchen, many families set up a small spot with a microwave and coffee maker in another room.
How do I know the price will not jump halfway through?
Your quote lists every part of the job. If we open a wall and find damage, we show you photos and write up the added cost before doing anything. Nothing extra happens without your okay.
Is the quote really free?
Yes. We come out, look at the space and give you a written quote at no charge. You can take your time deciding.
