A fixed-price addition 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, 5,875 projects, one promise: your quote is your price.
A home addition in Highland Park typically runs $120,000 to $400,000, and in this market it routinely exceeds that ceiling, because Park Cities additions involve estate-grade materials, custom millwork, and exacting architectural matching. Permits and inspections go through the Town of Highland Park’s Department of Building Inspection, under the Director of Development Services, with digital submittals handled via the Town’s OpenGov system. Every trade on your project, general, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical, must be both licensed by the State of Texas and registered with the Town. The biggest cost driver here is the built-out nature of Highland Park: with no vacant land and strict lot-coverage and zoning standards, additions push upward or into tight rear yards and must match the slate, brick, stone, and detailing of a century-old home, all of which raises engineering, design, and material costs well above a typical suburban add-on. We work on a fixed-price model with a 3-year workmanship warranty. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW remodel cost guide.
Adding square footage in Highland Park is a different exercise than in a newer DFW suburb. The Town was platted in 1907 by John Armstrong and Hugh Prather, laid out by Wilbur David Cook and George Kessler, and it has been fully built out for decades with roughly 8,500 to 9,000 homes and no vacant land. So a Highland Park addition almost always means expanding an existing 1910s-1920s estate or a Tudor, Mediterranean, Georgian, or Colonial Revival home on a finite lot, not building on open ground. That changes everything: matching original brick, slate, stone, and steel-casement details; respecting the Town’s strict zoning and architectural standards; and threading a second-story or rear addition into a mature, tree-lined street. UHS Remodeling has delivered 5,875+ projects across DFW since 2014, and we design additions that read as if they were always part of the house.
We design and build additions throughout Highland Park, including Old Highland Park around Connor Park, Highland Park West near the Dallas North Tollway, the streets west of Preston (Beverly, Versailles, and Belclaire), and the older Flippen-Prather sections near the Dallas Country Club.
“An addition in Highland Park is half permits, half craft. We pre-meet with the city’s plan review before drawings are stamped — that’s why our additions break ground 6 weeks after contract, not 14.”
All ranges include design, materials, labor, permits, and 3-year warranty. Sourced against NARI Cost vs. Value 2025 regional benchmarks.
