A whole-home renovation reaches every room — see how we approach complete interior remodeling across Little Elm.
A whole-home renovation in Little Elm typically runs $95,000-$350,000, depending on square footage, how many rooms you gut, and finish level. UHS works on a fixed-price model, so that range becomes one firm number before demolition begins. Permits and contractor registration go through the Town of Little Elm Building Safety Division (Development Services Department) via the MyGov online portal — note Little Elm is officially a Town, not a City, with its own building department in Denton County. A cost driver specific to Little Elm is how new the housing stock is: because most homes date to the 2000s-2010s, a renovation here is less about fixing failing structure and more about removing perfectly functional builder-grade finishes to customize a relatively young home. That changes the math — budget shifts toward upgraded materials, open-concept reconfiguration, and lake-view-oriented living spaces rather than system repairs, so spend tends to concentrate in finishes and layout. 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.

Whole-home renovation in Little Elm looks different than it does in older DFW towns. Out here on the eastern shore of Lewisville Lake, most homes were built during the 2000s-2010s suburban boom, so the typical house is only about 15 years old. That means UHS Remodeling is rarely restoring a historic property here. Instead, we’re transforming builder-grade homes in master-planned communities like Paloma Creek, Sunset Pointe, Union Park, and Wildridge into custom living spaces. A Little Elm whole-home renovation usually means tearing out original 2000s-2010s finishes, opening up tract floor plans, upgrading kitchens and primary baths together, and making the most of lake views. Since 2014 we’ve completed 5,875+ DFW projects on a fixed-price model with a 3-year workmanship warranty, so Little Elm homeowners know the number before we start.
We handle whole-home renovations across Little Elm’s master-planned communities — Paloma Creek, Sunset Pointe, Union Park, Wildridge, and the 55+ enclaves Del Webb at Union Park and Ladera Little Elm.
Your construction lead, Daniel B., manages your whole-home renovation, on schedule and to code.

Yes. Permits and contractor registration are handled by the Town of Little Elm Building Safety Division under the Development Services Department, submitted online through the Town’s MyGov portal. Since Little Elm is in Denton County and a whole-home renovation touches plumbing, electrical, and sometimes structural work, expect multiple inspections. UHS manages this process for you.
Because Little Elm grew during the 2000s-2010s, most homes have original builder-grade finishes that are now dating out. Homeowners in communities like Paloma Creek, Sunset Pointe, and Union Park renovate to customize builder-spec kitchens, primary baths, and flooring, open up tract floor plans, add outdoor living, and make the most of Lewisville Lake views rather than to fix old structure.
Whole-home renovations in Little Elm typically range from $95,000 to $350,000, based on square footage, the number of rooms gutted, and finish level. UHS Remodeling uses a fixed-price model, so you get one firm number up front rather than an open-ended estimate, backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty.
A partial Little Elm renovation takes 10-16 weeks of on-site construction. A full-home renovation runs 5-9 months. Gut renovations with structural work take 9-15 months. Add 2-4 months before demolition for design development, engineering, and permitting.
For partial renovations, yes – we phase the work to preserve at least one kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom at all times. For full-home and gut renovations, most Little Elm families relocate for 3-9 months.
Yes. Many Little Elm renovations involve an interior designer for finish selections. We coordinate closely on sourcing, specs, and timeline. If you do not have a designer, UHS provides in-house design service.
We build fixed-price contracts from detailed drawings and specifications. Every material is listed by brand and SKU with exact price. Change orders show exact price differences, not vague allowances.
Yes. The Town of Little Elm Building Inspection Department requires permits for structural modifications, exterior changes, or systems updates. UHS handles the full permitting process.

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.
