A fixed-price addition project from our Plano-based DFW team serving University 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.
Home additions in University Park typically run $120,000 to $400,000, and estate-scale work in Volk Estates or on premium Park Cities lots can exceed that range. Because this market skews luxury, expect high-end finishes, structural engineering, and foundation work that lift costs above a standard suburban addition. Permitting runs through the City of University Park Community Development Department, which issues the building, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical permits and registers your contractor. A major cost driver unique to University Park is the land-locked, fully built-out nature of the town: with tight lot lines, mature trees, and high-value neighbors, additions often go up (second stories) rather than out, and tying new framing, rooflines, and brick into an aging 1920s-to-mid-century home demands careful structural and historic-character matching. UHS prices every addition as a fixed bid, so the number you approve is the number you pay. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW remodel cost guide.
In University Park, building out is often smarter than moving on. This is a fully built-out Park Cities enclave that grew up around SMU in the 1910s and 1920s, so many homes sit on premium, land-locked lots where owners would rather expand than leave Highland Park ISD. That makes home additions a defining project here: a rear primary-suite wing on a 1920s Colonial near Caruth Hills, a second story over a Tudor in SMU Heights, or an estate-scale expansion in Volk Estates. UHS Remodeling designs additions that respect early-20th-century Colonial, Tudor, and Mediterranean architecture, blending new rooflines, brick, and trim into the original house rather than tacking on something obvious. With a fixed-price model, a 3-year workmanship warranty, and 5,875+ DFW projects since 2014, we build additions in University Park that look like they always belonged.
We build home additions across University Park, including Volk Estates, Caruth Hills, SMU Heights, and the streets surrounding SMU and Snider Plaza.
“An addition in University 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.
