A fixed-price whole-home project from our Plano-based DFW team serving Highland Park homeowners, with designers, project leads, and tradespeople who finish on the day they said they would. Eleven years, one promise: your quote is your price.
A whole-home renovation reaches every room — see how we approach complete interior remodeling across Highland Park.
A whole-home renovation in Highland Park typically runs $400,000 to $1,000,000-plus, reflecting the Park Cities luxury tier rather than standard DFW pricing. Scope, the size of an early-20th-century estate, and the level of finish move a project up or down within that range, and UHS works on a fixed-price model with a 1-year workmanship warranty so the number is committed before work begins. Permits, plan review, and inspections run through the Town of Highland Park Department of Building Inspection (under Development Services / Community Development), with digital submittals via OpenGov at hptx.org. The biggest local cost driver is the housing itself: Highland Park is essentially built out with 1910s-1920s and 1924-era estates, so a whole-home renovation usually means re-engineering aging structural, plumbing, and electrical systems while preserving high-style Tudor, Mediterranean, Georgian, and Colonial Revival character under the town’s strict zoning and architectural standards. Every trade must be Texas-licensed and registered with the Town of Highland Park, which adds coordination to a full-house scope.

We handle design, selections, permits and construction in-house, with one project manager on the job and a dated schedule before demolition starts.

Highland Park is one of the oldest and most affluent fully built-out enclaves in Texas, founded in 1907 by John Armstrong and Hugh Prather, with a town plan shaped by Wilbur David Cook (a planner of Beverly Hills) and George Kessler. That history is written into the housing stock: historic 1910s-1920s estates, a major 1924 west expansion, and roughly 8,500-9,000 single-family homes on lots with no vacant land left. Whole-home renovation here means working inside Tudor, English manor, Mediterranean, Georgian, and Colonial Revival architecture in Old Highland Park, around Highland Park Village, and in the Beverly-Versailles-Belclaire sections west of Preston. Because the town is built out under strict zoning and architectural standards, most projects are deep modernizations of century-old estates or extensive luxury rebuilds on the original lot. UHS Remodeling has delivered projects across DFW since 2014, and Highland Park renovations sit at the top of that spectrum.
We renovate whole homes across Old Highland Park near Connor Park, the Highland Park West / west-of-Preston sections (Beverly, Versailles, and Belclaire), and the streets around Highland Park Village and the Dallas Country Club.
We serve home renovation across nearby DFW communities. See our home renovation in University Park, Dallas, and Richardson.

In Highland Park’s Park Cities luxury market, a whole-home renovation generally runs $400,000 to $1,000,000-plus. The range is wide because so much of the housing is 1910s-1920s and 1924-era estate construction, where re-engineering structural, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems while preserving historic character drives scope. UHS gives a fixed price before work starts and backs it with a 1-year workmanship warranty.
Permits, plan review, and inspections go through the Town of Highland Park Department of Building Inspection, which operates under Development Services / Community Development. Digital submittals are handled via the OpenGov system at hptx.org. Every trade on the project must be licensed by the State of Texas and registered with the Town of Highland Park.
Yes. Highland Park is built out with high-style Tudor, English manor, Mediterranean, Georgian, and Colonial Revival homes, many dating to the 1910s-1920s, and the town enforces strict zoning and architectural standards. Our whole-home renovations modernize systems, kitchens, baths, and layouts while keeping the period architecture intact, which is exactly what those standards require.
A whole-home renovation in Highland Park typically ranges from $95,000 to $350,000, depending on square footage, structural scope, and finishes.
Partial renovations take 16–24 weeks. Full-home luxury renovations run 8–14 months. Estate-scale gut renovations with structural work take 14–30 months. Add 3–6 months before demolition for design and permitting.
For partial renovations, yes — we phase the work to preserve one kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. For full-home and estate-scale renovations, most Highland Park families relocate for 6–18 months.
Yes. We coordinate smoothly with DFW architects and interior design firms. We also offer full design-build service in-house if you do not have a design team.
We build fixed-price contracts from detailed drawings and specifications. Every material is listed by brand and SKU with exact price. Change orders show exact price differences, not vague allowances.
Yes. The Town of Highland Park has its own building department. Structural, exterior, or addition work requires architectural review. UHS handles the entire permitting process.
Yes. Wall removals, steel beams, dormers, full second-story additions, guest houses, pool houses, and basement excavations. Every scope is engineered by a licensed Texas structural engineer.
Yes — preservation is a core strength. We document and protect original millwork, leaded glass, plaster ceilings, and hardware. Specialty preservation trades are included where needed.
Whole-home HVAC, new plumbing, 200–400 amp electrical upgrade, whole-home rewiring, smart home rough-in (Lutron/Savant/Crestron), Cat6, tankless water heaters, water filtration, and optional backup generator and EV charging.
Call (469) 850-7087 or fill out the contact form. Free in-home consultation, preliminary ROM within 7–10 business days, and full line-item fixed-price proposal once architectural drawings are complete.
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.
