Remodeling Company in Dallas, TX
Remodeling in Dallas means working with what the prairie gave us: expansive clay soil, 1950s and 1960s slab-on-grade ranch homes with cast iron waste lines, and summers that push past 100°F. Penhallow Remodeling handles kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, and whole-home renovations in Dallas with a written price before any work starts and a 365-day written guarantee behind every job. We’re the contractor who puts the number in writing, not the one who changes it after demo day. Call (940) 204-5368 to set up your free estimate.
Key Takeaways
- Dallas kitchen remodels typically run $14,000 – $45,000; bathrooms run $9,000 – $28,000.
- The blackland clay under Dallas shifts seasonally, so we account for slab movement in every remodel plan.
- Every project gets a written price and a 365-Day Done Right Promise before a single cabinet is pulled.
- A live person answers the phone 24/7 at (940) 204-5368.
Why Dallas Homes Are Different
Dallas has two distinct housing worlds. The inner ring around neighborhoods like Lake Highlands, Casa View, and Preston Hollow holds thousands of 1950s to 1980s ranch homes on post-tensioned slabs, many still carrying original cast iron drain lines. The newer growth corridors up through Far North Dallas and toward the Tollway fill with brick veneer production homes on engineered slabs. Both share the same challenge: blackland prairie clay. This soil expands when wet and shrinks when dry, so foundations move. That movement ripples through every remodel, from a backsplash that cracks along a settling wall to a shower pan that loses its slope because the slab dipped three-eighths of an inch.
Summer heat past 100°F and regular hail storms also shape how we specify materials. Exterior sealants, paints, and even some caulk lines fail faster in Dallas than in milder climates. Inside, the dry season in late summer is when homeowners first notice hairline cracks opening along tile grout lines or door frames pulling away from walls. We plan for this. When we set cabinets on an older Dallas slab, we expect some floor movement and level accordingly. When we tile a shower in a 1962 ranch, we check the waste line before the tile saw comes out. It saves surprises.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Dallas Services
Most Dallas homeowners call us first about one of three things: a general contractor to coordinate a renovation, a bathroom that needs a full gut, or a kitchen that has outlived its layout. Here’s how each works in Dallas.
General Contractor in Dallas
Acting as your general contractor in Dallas means pulling the right permits with the city, scheduling crews around the realities of local trade availability, and keeping a job moving when a hailstorm delays the roofing crew next door. Trevor Nash leads every Penhallow job in Dallas personally, which means the person who walks your home and writes your estimate is the same person you call when a question comes up at week four. Full details are on our general contractor page here: General Contractor in Dallas.
Bathroom Remodeling in Dallas
Older Dallas bathrooms hide problems behind the tile. The cast iron waste lines in 1960s and 1970s slabs corrode from the inside, and by the time water backs up in the tub, the line has been failing for years. When we open a bathroom wall in Lakewood or North Dallas, we’re not surprised to find original galvanized supply lines that need replacing before a new vanity goes in. That’s why our written estimates include the discovery work other contractors wait to spring on you after demo. See our full bathroom process here: Bathroom Remodeling in Dallas.
Kitchen Remodeling in Dallas
Dallas kitchens from the 1980s and 1990s tend to be closed-off rooms with a load-bearing wall between the cooking space and the family room. Removing that wall in a slab home is not a simple demo task. It means sizing an engineered beam for a span that may be carrying post-tensioned concrete above. We handle the structural work, the city inspections, and the finish details in one written scope of work. Read the full breakdown here: Kitchen Remodeling in Dallas.

Home Remodeling in Dallas
Home remodeling in Dallas usually means one of two things: either you’re updating a 1960s ranch in an established neighborhood like Northwood Hills, or you’re reworking a 1990s production home in Far North Dallas where the layout feels dated but the bones are still sound. The clay soil underneath both areas shifts with the seasons, and every remodeling plan has to account for that movement. That’s a big part of what we do at Home Remodeling: we plan for Dallas soil, Dallas heat, and Dallas code requirements before we give you a written number. No surprises after demo. No price that changes when we open the wall.
Home Remodeling Contractor
Signs you need it
Your home needs a remodeling contractor when multiple systems are past due: cracked drywall at door corners from slab movement, original single-pane windows that leak conditioned air, and kitchen or bathroom fixtures that have not been updated since the Reagan administration.
What it costs in Dallas
Whole-home remodels in Dallas typically run $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage, structural work, and finish level, while smaller scoped remodels fall between $14,000 and $45,000.
How we do it
We start with a written scope of work, pull the required Dallas permits, schedule each trade in sequence, and hold the crew to a clean job site daily until the final walkthrough.
Whole House Remodel
Signs you need it
You need a whole house remodel when four or more rooms need work at once, the floor plan does not fit how you actually live, or the mechanical and electrical systems are old enough that renovating room-by-room means opening walls twice.
What it costs in Dallas
A whole house remodel in Dallas ranges from $45,000 to $130,000 depending on whether you’re updating finishes or moving walls and replacing systems.
How we do it
We phase the job so you can keep living in the house as long as possible, starting with the structural and rough-in work, then moving room by room to finished condition.
Home Renovation
Signs you need it
You need a home renovation rather than a repair when finishes are worn throughout, the home has deferred maintenance in multiple areas, and you want the whole property brought to a single standard rather than patched a room at a time.
What it costs in Dallas
Home renovations in Dallas typically run $14,000 – $45,000 for a focused renovation, with more extensive work reaching $130,000 when structural or full-system replacement is involved.
How we do it
We walk the property and flag the issues that will cost you nothing now but thousands later, then write a renovation plan that addresses finishes, systems, and structure in one pass.
What Home Remodeling Costs in Dallas
| Item | Typical range in Dallas |
|---|---|
| Kitchen remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Whole home remodel / addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
How long does a home remodel take in Dallas?
A focused kitchen or bathroom remodel usually runs four to eight weeks. A whole-house remodel with structural work can run three to six months depending on permit review times and the scope of foundation or framing work the clay soil requires. Call (940) 204-5368 for a written timeline tied to your job.
Does the clay soil really affect a remodel?
Yes. Dallas sits on blackland prairie clay that expands and contracts with moisture. That movement shifts slabs, which affects tile, drywall, cabinetry, and plumbing. We plan for it in every estimate, so the price you get is the price you pay. Call (940) 204-5368 to discuss your home’s specific conditions.

What pushes a Dallas remodel price up is usually the same thing older homes everywhere fight: structural surprises inside the walls. Older slabs mean sometimes a waste line needs replacing before tile goes down. Newer Dallas production homes are more predictable, but their engineered slabs still move with the clay. Our pricing stays fixed once we write it, because we build the unknown into the scope before the work starts, not after.
