Home Remodeling in Dallas, TX

Dallas is the most architecturally diverse remodeling market in all of DFW. In a single afternoon you can walk from a 1925 Tudor estate in Highland Park, to a mid-century modern in Preston Hollow, to a craftsman bungalow in Oak Cliff, to a 50-story luxury high-rise condo in Uptown. No two Dallas neighborhoods have the same remodeling playbook – and that is exactly why Dallas homeowners need a remodeling contractor who actually understands the city block by block.

At UHS Remodeling, we have been designing and building home renovations across Dallas and the wider DFW Metroplex since 2014. We are licensed and insured in the State of Texas, our crews are W-2 employees (not day labor), and every project is managed by a single dedicated project lead from day one through final walkthrough. We pull every required City of Dallas permit, schedule and pass every inspection, and back every project with a written 3-year workmanship warranty that most Dallas contractors will not match.

Whether you are planning a $35,000 kitchen refresh in Lakewood, a $120,000 spa-style primary bath in Preston Hollow, or a $450,000 whole-home renovation in Highland Park, this guide walks you through exactly what Dallas homeowners pay, how long projects take, what to expect at every stage, and how to pick the right contractor for the specific corner of Dallas you live in.

Dallas Home Remodeling Services We Offer

UHS Remodeling is a full-service design-build remodeling company, which means we handle everything from the initial design concept through final punch-list – no handing you off to a separate architect, designer, or crew. Below are the five main service categories we deliver across the City of Dallas.

1. Kitchen Remodeling – Dallas Luxury to Mid-Range

Kitchen remodeling is our highest-volume service category in Dallas, and it is also the renovation with the strongest return on investment – most Dallas kitchen remodels return 70-85% of the project cost at resale, with high-end custom kitchens in Highland Park and Preston Hollow sometimes exceeding 90% ROI on homes that sell at or above market. We build kitchens at four distinct tiers in Dallas: budget refreshes ($25,000-$40,000), mid-range remodels ($45,000-$75,000), upper-mid custom kitchens ($85,000-$140,000), and full-luxury chef’s kitchens ($150,000-$280,000+). See our dedicated Dallas kitchen remodeling page for tier-by-tier pricing, materials, and timelines.

2. Bathroom Remodeling – Primary, Secondary, and Powder Rooms

Bathroom remodels in Dallas typically run $18,000 to $85,000+ depending on scope and neighborhood. A secondary bathroom refresh in East Dallas usually lands between $18,000 and $28,000. A full primary bathroom rebuild in Lakewood or M Streets with a freestanding tub, walk-in glass shower, dual-vanity, and quality tile typically runs $38,000 to $62,000. And a true spa-style luxury primary in Highland Park or Preston Hollow – with marble walls, heated floors, Calacatta counters, brass or matte-black fixtures, and steam shower – can reach $85,000 to $140,000. See our Dallas bathroom remodeling page for full pricing detail and inspiration galleries.

3. Home Additions – Square Footage That Pays For Itself

Home additions are one of the most common Dallas requests, especially in older neighborhoods like Lakewood, M Streets, and Oak Cliff where the original 1,800-2,400 sq ft homes no longer fit modern family life. A typical Dallas home addition runs $225 to $425 per square foot, depending on whether you are expanding a single story, building a second-story pop-up, or adding a primary suite with attached bathroom. A 400 sq ft primary suite addition in Lakewood typically runs $95,000 to $170,000 fully finished. Second-story pop-ups in Highland Park (which require significant structural reinforcement and architectural review) often start at $250,000 and go well over $500,000 for full-floor additions.

4. Whole-Home Renovation – Gut-to-Finish Rebuilds

A whole-home renovation is the biggest project we deliver in Dallas, and it is where our in-house design-build model pays off the most. When you are rebuilding every kitchen, bathroom, flooring surface, HVAC system, electrical panel, and plumbing line in a 3,500+ sq ft Dallas home, the coordination is brutal – and a single uncoordinated subcontractor can blow your schedule by weeks. Our whole-home remodels in Dallas typically run $200,000 to $600,000+, with the average Highland Park or Preston Hollow full-home renovation landing in the $325,000-$475,000 range for a 4-bedroom, 3-bath, 3,800 sq ft home.

5. Outdoor Living, ADUs, and Garage Conversions

Beyond the main four services, we also deliver covered patio builds, outdoor kitchens, pool-house builds, ADU (accessory dwelling unit) construction, and garage conversions across Dallas. An ADU in East Dallas or Oak Cliff – often built as a rental unit, mother-in-law suite, or home office – typically runs $125,000 to $210,000 for 500-700 sq ft, fully permitted through the City of Dallas zoning office.

Dallas Neighborhoods We Serve (Block-by-Block Expertise)

Dallas is not one market – it is roughly a dozen sub-markets, each with different architectural styles, permit requirements, HOA guidelines, and homeowner expectations. Here is how we approach remodeling in the neighborhoods we work in most often.

Highland Park & University Park

The Park Cities are the highest-end remodeling market in all of DFW, and every project in Highland Park or University Park requires an extra layer of care. Both towns have their own city governments, independent permit offices, and stricter review processes than the City of Dallas itself. Many Park Cities homes are 1920s-1940s Tudor, English Cottage, and Georgian estates, and the city actively enforces compatibility standards for exterior changes. We have rebuilt Highland Park kitchens with Calacatta marble waterfall islands, La Cornue ranges, and hand-painted inset cabinetry in the $150,000-$280,000 range, and we have done spa-style primary baths in University Park with Nero Marquina marble, solid brass fixtures, and curbless walk-in showers in the $75,000-$140,000 range.

Preston Hollow & North Dallas

Preston Hollow is home to some of the largest single-family lots inside the Dallas city limits – many homes sit on 0.5 to 1.5 acres. Most Preston Hollow remodels we do are mid-century modern updates where the homeowner wants to preserve the original architectural lines (flat roofs, floor-to-ceiling glass, clean horizontal planes) while modernizing the kitchen, bathrooms, and primary suite. Typical Preston Hollow kitchen projects run $95,000 to $185,000, and full-home modernizations often land in the $350,000 to $600,000 range.

Lakewood, M Streets & East Dallas

Lakewood, the M Streets (Greenland Hills), Hollywood Heights, Wilshire Heights, and Junius Heights are the heart of historic East Dallas, and most homes were built between 1915 and 1945 in Craftsman, Tudor, Spanish Colonial, and English Cottage styles. East Dallas remodels are our most popular mid-range project type – kitchen remodels here typically run $55,000 to $95,000, bathroom remodels $30,000 to $55,000, and primary suite additions (which this market requests constantly) $90,000 to $170,000. The key with East Dallas is respecting the original character: we source period-appropriate hardware, use honed stones instead of polished, and specify inset or beaded-inset cabinetry instead of modern overlay.

Oak Cliff, Bishop Arts & Kessler Park

Oak Cliff is the fastest-growing remodeling market in the City of Dallas right now. Bishop Arts, Winnetka Heights, Kessler Park, and Kings Highway all have beautiful 1920s-1940s bungalows and Tudor cottages that are finally getting the renovation investment they deserve. Typical Oak Cliff kitchen remodels run $38,000 to $68,000, and full historic bungalow renovations (including kitchen, one bath, flooring, paint, and systems updates) land in the $120,000 to $220,000 range.

Uptown, Downtown, Deep Ellum & Design District

Uptown, Downtown, and Design District projects are almost exclusively condo and townhome renovations, where the challenge is working within HOA guidelines, freight-elevator scheduling, and quiet-hour restrictions. Uptown condo kitchen remodels typically run $45,000 to $95,000, and primary bathroom rebuilds $32,000 to $58,000. Every Uptown project we take on starts with a full HOA rules review so there are no surprises mid-project.

Other Dallas Neighborhoods We Serve

• Lake Highlands & White Rock – 1960s-1980s ranches and split-levels, most often requesting kitchen opens and primary suite expansions.
• Casa Linda, Casa View & Forest Hills – Mid-century ranches with large lots, ideal for first-floor expansions and garage conversions.
• Lower Greenville, Knox-Henderson & Uptown-Adjacent – Mix of 1920s bungalows and modern townhomes.
• Love Field, Bluffview & Greenway Parks – Upper-mid market for mid-century moderns and luxury updates.
• Forest Hills & Hollywood Santa Monica – Historic, design-focused remodels requiring architectural sensitivity.

Dallas Home Remodeling Pricing – 2026 Cost Reference Table

Every Dallas project is unique, but here are the 2026 pricing ranges we quote most often across all our service categories and neighborhood tiers. These are fully-loaded, turn-key project costs including permits, materials, labor, and our fixed-price warranty.

Budget tier = refresh-level scope (cabinetry refacing, paint, fixtures). Mid-range = new cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring, lighting. Luxury tier = full custom design, premium materials (marble, solid brass, integrated appliances), structural changes, and architectural detailing.

The UHS Remodeling Process – From First Call to Final Walkthrough

Every Dallas remodel we deliver follows the same structured six-phase process. The goal is to remove every surprise from a remodel – pricing, timeline, scope, materials, and communication are all locked in before demo day. Here is exactly how it works.

Phase 1 – Free In-Home Consultation (Week 1)

A UHS project consultant meets you at your Dallas home, walks the space, takes measurements and photos, and discusses your scope, style preferences, must-haves, and budget comfort zone. No pressure, no obligation, and no fee. This usually takes 60-90 minutes.

Phase 2 – Design & Fixed-Price Proposal (Weeks 1-3)

We build a line-item fixed-price proposal with all labor, materials, permits, and warranty included. For design-intensive projects (kitchens, primary baths, additions), we also provide 3D renderings, material boards, and a finish-selection package. You see exactly what your remodel will look like – and what it will cost – before you commit a single dollar.

Phase 3 – Contract, Permits & Material Ordering (Weeks 3-5)

Once the proposal is approved, we sign a fixed-price contract, pull all required permits through the City of Dallas (or Highland Park / University Park / Uptown HOA, depending on your neighborhood), and order all long-lead-time materials – custom cabinetry, stone, appliances, and tile. Most projects sit in this phase for 2-4 weeks while materials arrive.

Phase 4 – Demolition & Rough-In (Weeks 5-8, typical)

Demo day. Your dedicated UHS crew arrives at 7:00 AM with dust containment, protection over flooring, and full tool setup. Demolition, electrical rough-in, plumbing rough-in, and HVAC modifications happen in this phase. All rough-in work is inspected and signed off by the City of Dallas before we move to Phase 5.

Phase 5 – Finish Work & Installation (Weeks 8-12+)

Drywall, paint, tile, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, appliances, lighting, plumbing fixtures, trim, and hardware. This is where your Dallas remodel comes to life. Daily photo updates go out via text so you see progress even if you cannot be on site.

Phase 6 – Punch-List & Final Walkthrough (Final Week)

We walk the completed project with you room by room, punch-list any items, and correct every item before you sign off. Only then is the final invoice due. You get a written 3-year workmanship warranty, all manufacturer warranties, and a full close-out binder with permits, specs, and receipts.
