A whole-home renovation reaches every room — see how we approach complete interior remodeling across Rowlett.
A whole-home renovation in Rowlett typically runs $95,000 to $350,000, depending on square footage, how many rooms you gut versus refresh, and whether you move walls, plumbing, or electrical. Renovating an entire house means permits and inspections through the City of Rowlett’s Building Safety division (under Community Development) via the MyGov online system. A cost driver unique to Rowlett: the city straddles two counties at Dalrock Road — homes west are in Dallas County, homes east in Rockwall County — and a whole-home permit won’t issue until a plat is on file with the correct county. That two-county wrinkle can add lead time on additions and structural reconfigurations, so we build it into the schedule up front. Lakefront homes near Lake Ray Hubbard also tend to push budgets higher, since owners reworking floor plans for water views often pair the renovation with structural and window upgrades. 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 Rowlett means rethinking houses built during the city’s post-Lake Ray Hubbard boom. With a median build year around 1997, a huge share of Rowlett homes are now 25 to 40-plus years old and entering their first real reckoning: original 1990s kitchens and baths, closed-off New Traditional floor plans, and dated finishes that no longer fit how families live. UHS Remodeling renovates these homes top to bottom across Rowlett, from 1980s-90s brick ranch houses in established South Rowlett to two-story New Traditionals near Herfurth Park. We also take on the waterfront homes near Lake Ray Hubbard, where owners reconfigure layouts to capture lake views. Whatever the era, our fixed-price model and 1-year workmanship warranty turn a dated Rowlett house into a fully modern one without surprises.
We renovate homes across Rowlett — Waterview, Trails at Cottonwood Creek, Bayside on Lake Ray Hubbard, Flower Hill near Herfurth Park, and the established 1980s-90s neighborhoods of South Rowlett.
Your construction lead, Daniel B., manages your whole-home renovation, on schedule and to code.

Most whole-home renovations in Rowlett run $95,000 to $350,000. Where you land depends on square footage, how many rooms are fully gutted versus refreshed, and whether you move plumbing, electrical, or walls. Renovating a 1990s-era Rowlett home that’s hitting the 30-year mark — original kitchen, baths, and systems all at once — sits in the middle-to-upper part of that range. UHS gives a fixed price up front, so the number you sign is the number you pay.
Yes. Whole-home renovations are permitted through the City of Rowlett Building Safety division via the MyGov online system. The county does matter: Rowlett straddles Dallas County (west of Dalrock Road) and Rockwall County (east of Dalrock Road), and the city won’t issue a building permit until a plat is on file with the correct county. We confirm which county your home falls in and handle the permitting so the renovation starts cleanly.
Yes — those are the two profiles we see most in Rowlett. We renovate the 1980s-90s brick ranch and New Traditional homes that now make up much of the city’s housing stock, opening up dated floor plans and modernizing original kitchens, baths, and systems. We also renovate waterfront homes near Lake Ray Hubbard, where owners often reconfigure layouts to capture lake views as part of a whole-home project.
A whole-home renovation in Rowlett typically ranges from $95,000 to $350,000, depending on square footage, structural scope, and finishes.
A partial Rowlett 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 Rowlett families relocate for 3-9 months.
Yes. Many Rowlett 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 City of Rowlett Building Inspection Department requires permits for structural modifications, exterior changes, or systems updates. UHS handles the full permitting process.
Yes. Wall removals, steel beam installation, ceiling height changes, window enlargements, and rear additions. Every structural scope is engineered by a licensed Texas structural engineer.
HVAC evaluation and upgrade where needed, new plumbing supply lines where accessible (PEX), updated electrical service and rewiring as needed, smart home rough-in (Lutron, Ecobee, or similar), Cat6 throughout, and optional tankless water heater upgrade.
Yes. A full kitchen and master bath renovation typically returns 70-85% of project cost on resale. A Tier 2 or Tier 3 renovation can move your home up a tier within the local market.

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.
