Remodeling Company in Highland Park, TX
Home remodeling in Highland Park, TX typically runs $14,000 – $45,000 for a kitchen, $9,000 – $28,000 for a bathroom, and $45,000 – $130,000 for a full addition, with most projects taking 4 – 16 weeks depending on scope and permitting. This is not a market where you guess. Highland Park’s housing stock, much of it custom work from the 1920s through the 1950s, comes with plaster walls, unreinforced masonry, and a strict architectural review process that shapes what you can build and how long it takes to get approved.
We’re Penhallow Remodeling, and we put the price and the guarantee in writing before any work starts. Trevor Nash leads our team, and you can reach us at (940) 204-5368 for a free estimate.
Why Highland Park Homes Are Different
Highland Park’s older homes were built to a standard, not a price point. The remaining original stock stretches from the 1920s into the 1950s, and much of it carries Tudor, Colonial, and Mediterranean detailing that looks simple until you open a wall. Stud spacing is irregular. Plaster has been patched across three generations. Foundations sit on expansive clay that swells after a wet spring and shrinks through a dry August, which means a door that closes cleanly in March may stick by Labor Day.
The second reality is review. Highland Park enforces a rigorous aesthetic review process, particularly on exterior changes and any work visible from the street. Material choices, rooflines, window proportions, even paint colors on some structures get scrutinized. You cannot buy a stock door and assume it clears. We coordinate with the town’s review requirements, pull permits, and make sure the finished work looks like it belongs on the street, not like it was bolted onto it.
Then there are the carriage houses. Many Highland Park streets still have original rear structures with narrow setbacks and alley access. Remodeling a garage into living space, converting it to a studio, or rebuilding it as an ADU means working around lot lines that were drawn before the Model T. That changes crane placement, material staging, and foundation design. It is exactly the kind of constraint that punishes a contractor who shows up without having walked the alley first.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Highland Park Services
Most Highland Park homeowners reach out to us for one of three things: a general contractor to run a larger project, a bathroom remodel that respects a historic home, or a kitchen that works for how the family actually lives.
General Contractor in Highland Park
Acting as General Contractor in Highland Park means coordinating every trade, every permit, and every inspection behind one written price. On a Highland Park addition or whole-home renovation, that includes structural work on homes where original masonry may not be reinforced, managing the aesthetic review submittal, and sequencing drywall, millwork, and finishes so a house built in 1935 still looks right when the last coat goes on. We carry the schedule, the budget, and the responsibility, and you get a single number in writing before demolition starts.
Bathroom Remodeling in Highland Park
Bathrooms in Highland Park’s older homes are often tight, with original cast-iron plumbing and tile set over a mortar bed that has done its job for 70 years, and now needs to come out carefully. Our Bathroom Remodeling in Highland Park work includes walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, vanity replacement, and full gut renovations. We verify what is behind the wall before we price the work, so the written number reflects what we will actually find, not a hopeful guess that changes on demo day.
Kitchen Remodeling in Highland Park
Highland Park kitchens range from original galley spaces in 1940s Colonials to early-2000s remodels that have already dated. Our Kitchen Remodeling in Highland Park process covers layout changes, cabinet installation from KraftMaid or Wellborn, countertops from Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone, and backsplash and island work. The goal is a kitchen that handles how your family cooks now, while respecting the architectural language of the rest of the house.

Home Remodeling in Highland Park
Home remodeling in Highland Park means working inside houses that were framed before plywood, wired before Romex, and plastered by hand. It is different from new construction because every opening reveals something the original builder did that no longer meets code, and every change has to be made without disturbing what still works. Whether you are remodeling a single room or taking on a whole-house renovation, the job starts with understanding the existing structure, the clay soil beneath it, and the review process around it. For a full look at what the work involves, see our Home Remodeling page.
The North Texas climate adds its own pressure. Summer heat cycles push and pull on exterior walls, and hail seasons punish cheap roofing and siding choices. We specify materials that hold up under that sun, from James Hardie siding to properly flashed window openings, so a remodel is not asking for its first repair by the following spring.

How long does a whole house remodel take in Highland Park?
Plan on 4 – 9 months for a whole house remodel, depending on structural work and how much of the original plaster and framing can stay.

Will my remodeling price change once work starts?
No. We write the price before work starts and the number on day one is the number on the invoice unless you change the scope.

What pushes a Highland Park price up is scope and structure: homes with original plaster and irregular framing take more labor than open stud bays, and any exterior change that requires aesthetic review adds time and paperwork. What does not push the price up is surprise, because we write the number before the first tool comes off the truck and the 365-Day Done Right Promise stands behind it in writing.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Highland Park
Yes.

That depends on review timelines and the scope of work.
