The short answer
How much does a Richardson remodel cost?
In Richardson, 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. UHS works on a fixed-price model, so the number you approve is the number you pay, backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty. Where you land in those ranges depends heavily on Richardson’s housing stock. Because so many homes here are 1950s-70s ranches that are now 50-70+ years old, projects often uncover original wiring, cast-iron plumbing, and load-bearing walls behind those closed-off floor plans, all of which add scope when you open up a kitchen or add square footage. Permitting also shapes the timeline: the City of Richardson Building Inspection Department issues a specific “Interior Remodel” permit whenever you move walls or modify plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems, and it requires before-and-after floor plans. Smaller jobs may qualify for the city’s Express Permitting program, which guarantees a 3-business-day plan review. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW home remodel cost guide.

From the field · Richardson
“Richardson is mostly 1950s-60s ranch homes, so we’re often opening up closed floor plans, and I make sure room additions are engineer-stamped as the city requires. For smaller jobs the Building Inspection Department’s Express Permitting gives a 3-business-day plan review, which I build into the schedule.”

04 · Where we work
Richardson neighborhoods we know by heart.
Richardson is one of Dallas’s original first-ring suburbs, and its homes show it. When Collins Radio and Texas Instruments arrived and Central Expressway (US-75) was extended through town in 1954, neighborhoods like Richardson Heights, Buckingham, Canyon Creek, and Greenwood Hills filled in fast with mid-century ranch homes: brick exteriors, low-pitched roofs, wide single-story elevations, and efficient closed-off floor plans on mature, tree-lined lots. Seventy years later, those same J.J. Pearce, Heights Park, and SpringPark houses are remodel-ready. That is why most Richardson homeowners call UHS: original kitchens and baths, aging wiring and plumbing, and compartmentalized layouts that families want opened up. Whether your address falls on the Dallas County or Collin County side of town, UHS has remodeled mid-century homes exactly like yours across the Telecom Corridor and near UT Dallas since 2014.

How long does the City of Richardson take to issue a remodel permit?
+
Richardson straddles the county line — about two-thirds Dallas County, one-third Collin County — but residential remodels are permitted by the City of Richardson Building Inspection Department, not the county. Most need an “Interior Remodel” permit, with before-and-after floor plans, whenever walls move or plumbing, electrical, or mechanical work is involved. Smaller jobs may qualify for the city’s Express Permitting program and its 3-business-day plan review. UHS handles the submittal for you.
Do Richardson 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 Richardson 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.
