A fixed-price remodel from our Plano-based DFW team serving Little Elm — designers, project leads, and tradespeople who finish on the day they said they would. Eleven years, 5,875 projects, one promise: your quote is your price.
In Little Elm, most kitchen remodels run $25,000 to $95,000, bathroom remodels $8,000 to $60,000, whole-home renovations $95,000 to $350,000, and room additions $120,000 to $400,000. UHS Remodeling works on a fixed-price model, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay, backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty. Where your project lands in those ranges depends on scope, finish level, and a few Little Elm specifics. Because so much of the town’s housing dates to the 2000s-2010s master-planned boom, many projects involve swapping out original builder-grade finishes rather than gutting old structures, which keeps many kitchen and bath updates toward the middle of the range. Lake-view and lakefront homes and outdoor-living additions tend to push budgets higher. Every remodel that moves walls or alters plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems requires a permit from the Town of Little Elm Building Safety Division, and your contractor must be registered with the Town, both handled through its MyGov portal. We manage permitting and registration as part of the project. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW home remodel cost guide.
“Since Little Elm is an incorporated town, I pull permits from the Town’s Building Safety Division under Development Services through the MyGov portal, which also handles our contractor registration. Most of our work here is customizing newer builder-spec homes near Lewisville Lake rather than restoring old ones.”
Little Elm sits on the eastern shore of Lewisville Lake in the southeast corner of Denton County, and it is one of the fastest-growing towns in Texas. That growth shapes nearly every remodel we take on here. Unlike older DFW suburbs, Little Elm’s housing stock is overwhelmingly new: most homes in master-planned communities like Paloma Creek, Sunset Pointe, Union Park, and Wildridge were built during the 2000s and 2010s boom. So instead of restoring century-old houses, Little Elm homeowners are usually customizing builder-grade interiors that are now 15-plus years old. The work we do most often reflects that: updating original 2000s and 2010s kitchens, primary baths, and flooring; building outdoor-living spaces that take advantage of the lake; and adding aging-in-place features in the town’s many 55-plus communities, such as Del Webb at Union Park and Ladera Little Elm. UHS Remodeling brings 5,875-plus completed DFW projects since 2014 to that work.
All ranges include design, materials, labor, permits, and 3-year warranty. Sourced against NARI Cost vs. Value 2025 and NKBA regional benchmarks.

See Custom PricesLittle Elm’s population has grown by more than 400% since 2000, and that growth continues to drive home value appreciation throughout the community. Median home values reached approximately $378,000 in Q1 2026, with lakefront and near-water properties commanding significant premiums. Well-renovated homes in Little Elm’s master-planned communities regularly sell at 8–15% premiums over unrenovated comparables.
Outdoor living additions deliver exceptional ROI in Little Elm given the lakeside lifestyle premium. Covered patio and outdoor kitchen projects typically add $20,000–$35,000 in appraised value on Lake Lewisville-adjacent properties. Kitchen renovations recoup 72–84% at resale, and primary bathroom additions add an average of $24,000–$42,000 in appraised value in Little Elm’s price range.
For homeowners in Paloma Creek and other Little Elm master-planned communities, the 20–25 year mark on homes built in the early 2000s is approaching — making now an ideal time to renovate before original builder-grade finishes begin to visibly age and negatively impact buyer perception.

Lake Lewisville and Corps of Engineers considerations: Properties near Lake Lewisville may fall within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ management area or FEMA floodplain zones. For waterfront and near-waterfront properties, additional permits or elevation requirements may apply to exterior work and additions. We conduct a pre-project review for all Little Elm lakeside properties to identify these requirements upfront.
HOA requirements: Paloma Creek, The Shores, and most master-planned communities in Little Elm have active HOAs. We prepare complete architectural submittal packages for exterior work and additions and manage HOA approval correspondence on your behalf.
Does my Little Elm lakefront property require special permits?
Possibly. Properties within the Corps of Engineers’ management area around Lake Lewisville may require additional approvals for exterior work, additions, or any structures near the water. We conduct a pre-project review for all Little Elm waterfront properties to identify these requirements before work begins.
What outdoor living projects work best for Lake Lewisville properties?
Covered patios with outdoor kitchens and lake-facing seating areas deliver the best ROI for Little Elm lakefront homes. Pergolas with string lighting, built-in grills, and outdoor refrigeration are consistently popular. We design these spaces to maximize your view and extend your usable outdoor season.
