A fixed-price addition project from our Plano-based DFW team serving The Colony 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 The Colony typically runs $120,000 to $400,000, depending on size, whether you build out or up, and how much foundation, roofline, and structural tie-in the project requires. Permits and plan review for additions go through the City of The Colony Building Inspections Department, with plan review tied to the Planning and Development Department and applications handled via the city’s eTRAKiT online portal. A city-specific cost driver here is the original Fox & Jacobs tract housing: many 1970s-90s homes in The Colony sit on slab foundations with modest footprints, so expanding them often means engineered foundation work, matching decades-old brick and rooflines, and upgrading electrical or HVAC capacity to serve the added space. On the higher end, lakefront and golf-course lots in The Tribute carry HOA architectural-review requirements that add design steps. Our fixed-price model locks the number before demolition so the budget does not move mid-project. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW remodel cost guide.
Many of the original homes in The Colony are compact single-family starter and tract houses that Fox & Jacobs began building in the mid-1970s, so a large share of the city’s housing is now 30 to 50 years old — and the footprints reflect 1970s, 80s, and 90s family sizes. That is exactly why home additions are so common here: rather than leave a Denton County community that sits on Lewisville Lake (earning its “City by the Lake” nickname) and minutes from Grandscape, homeowners in neighborhoods like Eastvale, Austin Ranch, Legends, and Stewart Peninsula add square footage instead of moving. UHS Remodeling designs and builds room additions, primary-suite and second-story expansions, and bump-outs that match The Colony’s brick traditional housing stock. With 5,875+ DFW projects since 2014, 500+ five-star reviews, fixed pricing, and a 3-year workmanship warranty, we tie new space into existing homes cleanly.
We build home additions across The Colony — Eastvale, Austin Ranch, Legends/Legend Crest, Stewart Peninsula, Coyote Ridge, and the lakeside Tribute community including Waterford Point.
“An addition in The Colony 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.
