The short answer
How much does a Murphy remodel cost?
In Murphy, most kitchen remodels run $25,000-$95,000, bathroom remodels $8,000-$60,000, whole-home renovations $95,000-$350,000, and room additions $120,000-$400,000. Where your project lands in those ranges depends on scope, finishes, and the size of the home, and Murphy’s housing stock pushes many projects toward the upper half: the city has more 4-, 5-, and 6-bedroom homes than nearly any community in the country, so a “whole-home” update here often covers far more square footage than the DFW average. Permitting runs through the City of Murphy Building Inspection Division (Permits & Inspections) at City Hall, with applications submitted electronically, and most Murphy neighborhoods sit inside mandatory HOAs, so exterior changes and additions may need separate architectural-committee approval on top of the city permit. UHS works on a fixed-price model with a 3-year workmanship warranty, so your quote reflects the full scope before work begins, HOA coordination included.

From the field · Murphy
“Murphy is split between Plano ISD and Wylie ISD, and most homes are large early-2000s builds now hitting their first major remodel, often with mandatory HOA review I handle up front. Permits come from the City of Murphy Building Inspection Division at City Hall.”

04 · Where we work
Murphy neighborhoods we know by heart.
Murphy is a quiet Collin County suburb tucked between Plano and Wylie along FM 544, and its homes tell a very specific story: this was a small farming community of roughly 1,500 people until the President George Bush Turnpike opened in 2000 and the building boom hit. Today, most of Murphy was built in the early 2000s through the mid-2010s, which means the large brick homes in Maxwell Creek, Rolling Ridge Estates, and Murphy Farms are now 15 to 25 years old and hitting their first major remodel window. Homeowners here are updating original builder kitchens, dated primary bathrooms, and closed-off floor plans, and because Murphy has an unusually high share of 4-, 5-, and 6-bedroom homes on generous lots, whole-home renovations and room additions are common. UHS Remodeling has completed 5,875+ projects across DFW since 2014, and we bring that fixed-price experience to Murphy’s planned subdivisions and HOA communities.

How long does the City of Murphy take to issue a remodel permit?
+
Murphy sits entirely within Collin County, so remodeling permits are pulled from the City of Murphy itself — not from Collin County. Applications go through the City of Murphy Building Inspection Division (Permits & Inspections) at City Hall and are submitted electronically; turnaround varies by scope. Because most Murphy homes sit in mandatory HOAs, additions and exterior work may need architectural-committee approval beyond the city permit. UHS handles the process for you.
Do Murphy HOAs need to approve a kitchen or bathroom remodel?
+
Interior remodels almost never require HOA approval. Exterior changes (windows, roof lines, additions, fence work, outdoor kitchens) typically do. We prepare ACC submissions and renderings as part of the project.
How are slab-foundation cracks handled mid-remodel?
+
Once flooring comes up, we map elevation across the slab. If a crack is cosmetic, we epoxy-seal and proceed. If a beam has dropped, we pause, bring in our structural engineer, and adjust the fixed quote in writing before anything else moves.
Is the quote really fixed?
+
Yes. Once design is locked and the contract is signed, your price is your price. Change-orders only happen when you change scope, and every change-order is signed by you before work begins.
Who is on site every day?
+
A dedicated project lead from our team. Not a rotating subcontractor. You have their direct cell number from day one.
What is covered by the 3-year warranty?
+
All workmanship: tile, paint, cabinetry installation, trim, plumbing connections, electrical work performed by our team. Manufacturer warranties on appliances and fixtures are passed through directly.
Do you pull permits or do I?
+
We pull every permit. Homeowner-pulled permits are a red flag and we will not work that way.
Can I live in the Murphy house during the remodel?
+
For single-room remodels, yes. For whole-home or two-bath renovations, most clients relocate for 4 to 8 weeks. We can phase the work to keep one bathroom and one kitchen functional if needed.
