A whole-home renovation reaches every room — see how we approach complete interior remodeling across Dallas.
A whole-home renovation in Dallas typically runs $95,000 to $350,000 through UHS Remodeling, with the final figure driven by square footage, how many rooms and systems you touch, and finish level. Our fixed-price model locks that number before work begins. Permits for City of Dallas homes go through the City of Dallas Permit Center at the Oak Cliff Municipal Center, with applications now submitted via the city’s DallasNow / Develop Dallas online portal. The biggest Dallas-specific cost driver is the age of the housing stock: with a median build year around 1981 and a meaningful share of pre-1940 homes in areas like the M Streets, Lakewood, and Oak Cliff, whole-home projects frequently uncover original wiring, plumbing, and foundations that need updating, plus structural work to open up closed mid-century floor plans, all of which adds scope a newer suburban home would not. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our whole-home renovation cost guide.
We handle design, selections, permits and construction in-house, with one project manager on the job and a dated schedule before demolition starts.

Dallas is a city of older, character-rich homes, and that is exactly what makes whole-home renovation here so different from the newer DFW suburbs. The median Dallas house dates to roughly 1981, and many sit far older than that, from 1920s-1940s cottages and Tudors in the M Streets (Greenland Hills) and Lakewood to early-20th-century and midcentury homes across Oak Cliff and Kessler Park. About 41% of the city’s housing is detached single-family, often on desirable inner-city lots where original layouts feel closed-off by modern standards. UHS Remodeling renovates these homes top to bottom, opening up dated floor plans, modernizing aging systems, and reworking kitchens and baths while respecting each neighborhood’s period architecture, from Lakewood and East Dallas to the larger estates of Preston Hollow and North Dallas.
We handle whole-home renovations across Dallas, including Lakewood, Lakewood Heights, the M Streets (Greenland Hills), East Dallas, Oak Cliff and Kessler Park, Preston Hollow, and the Downtown/Reunion district.

Most whole-home renovations in Dallas run $95,000 to $350,000 with UHS Remodeling. Where a project lands within that range depends on square footage, how many rooms and systems you update, finish level, and how much the home’s age requires updating original wiring, plumbing, or structure. We set a fixed price before work starts so the number is clear up front.
Dallas housing skews old, with a median build year around 1981 and a share of pre-1940 homes in neighborhoods like the M Streets, Lakewood, and Oak Cliff. Whole-home renovations on these houses often reveal original electrical, plumbing, and foundation work that needs bringing up to date, plus structural changes to open up closed-off mid-century and early-20th-century floor plans, which adds scope compared with a newer suburban build.
Yes. For homes within the City of Dallas, whole-home renovation permits are handled through the City of Dallas Permit Center at the Oak Cliff Municipal Center, with applications filed via the DallasNow / Develop Dallas online portal. Since this work typically involves structural, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical changes together, UHS Remodeling manages the permitting and inspections for you.
A whole-home renovation in Dallas typically ranges from $95,000 to $350,000, depending on square footage, structural scope, and finishes.
A Dallas whole-home renovation typically takes 8-20 weeks. Single-room renovations average 6-10 weeks. Multi-room projects run 10-16 weeks. Full gut renovations with structural changes can take 16-24 weeks.
In most cases, yes. For single-room and multi-room renovations, we set up dust barriers and maintain clean work zones. For full gut renovations affecting all major rooms simultaneously, temporary relocation for 4-6 weeks may be more comfortable.
The City of Dallas requires permits for structural modifications, electrical changes, plumbing alterations, and HVAC work. Cosmetic updates like painting or replacing countertops typically do not require permits. UHS Remodeling handles all permits and inspections.
Kitchen renovation is the most popular and highest-return improvement. Following close behind are primary bathroom renovations, open-concept conversions, and whole-home flooring replacement. Home office renovations and outdoor living spaces are also trending in 2026.
Kitchen renovation in Dallas typically costs $25,000-$85,000 for mid-range to high-end remodels, and $85,000-$150,000+ for luxury gut renovations. In Highland Park, kitchen renovations frequently exceed $100,000 due to expectations for custom cabinetry and professional-grade appliances.
Yes. We have completed numerous projects in Highland Park and University Park. We are familiar with Highland Park’s building regulations, Board of Adjustment process, and the design expectations of Park Cities homeowners.
Kitchen renovations recoup 70-80% at resale. Bathroom renovations return 60-70%. Open-concept conversions and flooring upgrades can return 75% or more. In Dallas’s competitive market, renovated homes sell faster and at higher prices per square foot.
Older Dallas homes often have outdated wiring, galvanized plumbing, plaster walls, and potentially asbestos materials. We assess these conditions during our site visit and include required code upgrades in our proposal while preserving the home’s architectural character.
Call (469) 850-7087 or schedule a consultation online. We visit your Dallas home, walk every room, discuss your goals, and provide a detailed written proposal – completely free with no obligation.
Often, yes. Interior work almost never needs HOA sign-off, but any exterior alteration — windows, roof lines, siding, stone, fencing, an outdoor kitchen — usually needs both a city building permit and written approval from your homeowners association before construction begins. The two run on separate tracks with separate documents and timelines. UHS Remodeling handles the permitting for your project and prepares the drawings and documentation your HOA review typically requires, so the approvals move in parallel instead of delaying your start date.
