A whole-home renovation reaches every room — see how we approach complete interior remodeling across Carrollton.
A whole-home renovation in Carrollton typically runs $95,000-$350,000 through UHS Remodeling, depending on square footage, how much of the original floorplan you reconfigure, and which systems get replaced. Permits are pulled from the City of Carrollton’s Building Inspection department through the CityServe portal, and Carrollton has a specific local rule that affects cost and scheduling: every contractor handling building, plumbing, mechanical, or electrical work must be licensed by the State of Texas AND registered with the City of Carrollton before a permit is issued, so the right team matters. The biggest Carrollton-specific cost driver on a whole-home project is the city’s aging 1950s-1980s ranch stock: opening up those closed, compartmentalized original floorplans often means structural beam work, plus updating original wiring, plumbing, and single-system HVAC that wasn’t built for modern open-concept living. UHS works on a fixed-price model, so your Carrollton renovation number is locked before demolition begins, backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our whole-home renovation cost guide.
We handle design, selections, permits and construction in-house, with one project manager on the job and a dated schedule before demolition starts.

Carrollton is one of the metroplex’s most mature built-out suburbs, and that shows up the moment you start a whole-home renovation here. With the median home built around 1987-88, a huge share of Carrollton houses are now 35-40+ years old and entering their second major remodel cycle. The older east and southeast sections near I-35E are full of 1950s-1980s ranch homes on tree-lined, mid-century streets, while a heavy wave of traditional brick two-stories went up across the 1980s, and Castle Hills brought master-planned construction to the western side. UHS Remodeling renovates all three: opening up closed-off ranch floorplans into modern open-concept living, replacing dated 1980s-90s kitchens and baths, and modernizing the aging electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems hiding behind those original Carrollton walls. With roughly 59% of housing here single-family detached, whole-home renovation is the natural next step for owners who’d rather invest than relocate.
We renovate whole homes across Carrollton — from the 1950s-1980s ranch homes in the older east and southeast neighborhoods near I-35E to Castle Hills, Josey Ranch, Country Place, Indian Creek, Saddlebrook Estates, and the Historic Downtown Carrollton Square area.
We serve home renovation across nearby DFW communities. See our home renovation in Farmers Branch, Addison, Plano, and Flower Mound.

Yes. Whole-home renovations are permitted through the City of Carrollton’s Building Inspection department using the CityServe portal. Carrollton also requires that any contractor performing building, plumbing, mechanical, or electrical work be licensed by the State of Texas and registered with the City of Carrollton before a permit is issued. UHS Remodeling handles permitting and coordinates the inspections so your Carrollton project stays compliant.
Carrollton is a built-out suburb with a median home built around 1987-88, so a large share of homes are now 35-40+ years old and entering their second remodel cycle. The 1950s-1980s ranch homes in the older east and southeast sections near I-35E often have closed-off floorplans and original systems, which makes whole-home renovation — open-concept conversions plus updated kitchens, baths, electrical, and plumbing — the most popular project type. UHS Remodeling has remodeled homes across DFW since 2014.
With UHS Remodeling, a whole-home renovation in Carrollton typically runs $95,000-$350,000, depending on square footage, how much of the original floorplan you reconfigure, and which systems you replace. Because so many Carrollton homes are 1950s-1980s ranch houses, opening up closed floorplans and updating original wiring, plumbing, and HVAC are common cost drivers. We quote a fixed price up front, backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty.

Often, yes. Interior work almost never needs HOA sign-off, but any exterior alteration — windows, roof lines, siding, stone, fencing, an outdoor kitchen — usually needs both a city building permit and written approval from your homeowners association before construction begins. The two run on separate tracks with separate documents and timelines. UHS Remodeling handles the permitting for your project and prepares the drawings and documentation your HOA review typically requires, so the approvals move in parallel instead of delaying your start date.
