Styles & brands we work with
Construction Company
A construction company for Dallas homeowners means more than a crew that shows up with tools. It means a licensed, insured team that pulls permits, coordinates trades, and takes responsibility for the whole job from framing to finish. Penhallow Remodeling Dallas operates as a full-service construction company focused on kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and whole-home remodels. Our Dallas clients typically invest $14,000 – $45,000 on a kitchen and $9,000 – $28,000 on a bathroom, with cabinets, countertops, and layout driving most of the variation. We carry state-required licensing and insurance on every project, and we name the brands behind the work: KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Silestone countertops, Kohler and Moen fixtures.
Permits and Code Compliance
Dallas requires permits for most structural and plumbing work, including any remodel that moves a wall or changes a drain line. We handle permit applications, schedule inspections, and make sure every job passes before we call it done. You won’t be the one tracking down the city inspector.
Written Scope, Written Price
Before we start, you get a written scope of work and a written price. If something changes mid-project, we put the change in writing before any additional work begins. That’s the Kingswell standard, and we’ve operated under it since 2004.
Remodeling Contractor
A remodeling contractor in Dallas should do one thing consistently: protect you from the pricing games that run through this city’s remodeling market. At Penhallow Remodeling, we’re the remodeling contractor that hands you a written number before demo day and a written guarantee before the first tile is set. Kitchen remodels typically run $14,000 – $45,000 in Dallas; small kitchens can be done for $9,000 – $20,000 and still include solid cabinetry and quartz counters. Cabinets alone run $4,000 – $13,000 installed, and countertops add another $2,000 – $6,500 depending on whether you choose granite, quartz, or solid surface.
Design Decisions, Explained Simply
We use the trade word first and explain it after. When we say “cement board substrate,” we tell you it’s the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile, and why it matters in a Dallas bathroom that sees real humidity swings. You’ll understand what you’re paying for, and you’ll know what the guarantee covers.
One Crew, One Point of Contact
You get a single project lead who shows up in uniform, on time, and knows your job by name. Background-checked technicians mean you know exactly who’s in your home. And if something isn’t right, you call one number and a live person answers.
Licensed General Contractor
A licensed General Contractor in Balch Springs or Dallas carries the legal authority to pull permits, schedule inspections, and be held accountable for the work. Penhallow Remodeling holds the state licensing Texas requires for residential remodeling, and we back every project with the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails inside that year, we return and fix it at no charge. On a kitchen remodel in Dallas, that matters. We’ve seen jobs in Oak Cliff where a contractor’s tile work failed six weeks after the final check cleared, and the homeowner had no recourse. With our written guarantee, you do.
When Licensing Actually Matters
Dallas code enforcement can red-tag unpermitted work, which complicates a future home sale. A licensed general contractor pulls the right permits, passes the inspections, and gives you paper trail that protects the value of your home. We’ve passed inspections across this city and we’re proud of the record.
Insurance You Can Verify
We carry general liability and workers’ compensation coverage on every project. If an uninsured crew gets hurt on your property, you can end up holding the bill. We don’t put you in that position.
Residential General Contractor
A residential general contractor in Dallas specializes in occupied homes, not commercial shells. That changes everything: dust control, daily cleanup, protecting floors, working around your family’s schedule. Penhallow Remodeling Dallas works exclusively on residential projects, and we treat your home like it’s occupied because it is. Whole-home remodels are our largest residential scope, typically running $45,000 – $130,000 in Dallas depending on square footage and finish level. Smaller scopes, like a tub-to-shower conversion, run $3,500 – $10,000. No job is too small to get the same written price and written guarantee.
Living in a Job Site
We tape off work areas, lay down floor protection, and clean up at the end of every day. The Kingswell Way says leave the place cleaner than we found it. We take that literally.
Material Choices That Last
We install products with their own warranties alongside ours: Cambria quartz carries a lifetime warranty, James Hardie siding is engineered for durability, Therma-Tru doors hold up against Dallas heat. When the manufacturer’s warranty and our 365-day guarantee both apply, you’re protected twice.
Hire a General Contractor
Hiring a General Contractor - Irving or Dallas area professional means choosing who you’ll trust with your home’s largest investment. The way you hire matters just as much as who you hire. Ask for a written price before any work starts. Ask for a written guarantee. Ask who answers the phone at 2 a.m. when something goes wrong. Penhallow Remodeling Dallas answers all three: written price, 365-Day Done Right Promise, and a live person on the line 24/7. Then we show up in the arrival window we gave you, in uniform, background-checked, and ready to work.
Red Flags to Watch For
If a contractor won’t put the price in writing, walk away. If they want a big deposit before permits are pulled, walk away. In Dallas, a kitchen remodel should never start without a signed contract that itemizes scope, materials, and payment schedule. We’ve replaced work from contractors who skipped all three.
What a Real Estimate Includes
Our free estimate isn’t a ballpark. It’s a written line-item number for labor, materials, and permits. You’ll see what the cabinets cost, what the plumbing costs, what the tile costs. Nothing hidden, nothing verbal.

Brands We Service
We install and service CGI windows across Dallas, including full-frame replacements and retrofit installations. CGI’s impact-rated windows are common in this market, and we’re familiar with their sizing, flashing requirements, and installation tolerances. Whether you need one window replaced or twenty, we price it line by line.
We also work extensively with CWS and ES Windows, two of the most recognizable impact window brands in North Texas. We understand how ECO Window Systems handles thermal performance in Dallas summers, and we factor that into our recommendations on glass packages and frame materials. Whether you have CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, or any other make, we can help.

- Water stains on the ceiling or walls. That’s not a cosmetic issue. It means water is getting in somewhere it shouldn’t, and the longer it sits, the more damage it does to framing, drywall, and insulation. A general contractor can trace the leak and scope the repair before it spreads.
- Cracked tile or grout that keeps coming loose. Loose tile in a shower isn’t just ugly. It means water is reaching the substrate behind it, and in a Dallas bathroom, that means mold risk inside the wall cavity. We find the root cause, replace the failing material, and warranty the fix.
- Doors or windows that stick or won’t latch. That can point to foundation movement, which is common across Dallas’s clay soils. It’s not always structural, but it’s worth a professional look before you replace a door that’s not actually the problem.
- Electrical flickering or warm outlets. If lights dim when the AC kicks on or an outlet feels warm to the touch, you may have an overloaded circuit or failing wiring. This is a real safety concern, not a DIY project. Call a licensed professional.
- You’ve been burned before. A contractor who never showed, a price that ballooned after demo day, a repair that cracked again six weeks later. If that’s your history, you already know the signs. Penhallow Remodeling was built for homeowners who refuse to go through that again.
One note on safety: any work involving electrical panels, gas lines, or structural changes to load-bearing walls belongs in the hands of a licensed professional. We never recommend a homeowner attempt those repairs themselves. The risk of fire, gas exposure, or structural failure is real, and the cost of a professional is a fraction of what a failed DIY job can cost you.

We walk the job with you. Trevor Nash or one of our senior project leads comes to your home, looks at the space, takes measurements, and asks the questions that matter: How do you use this kitchen? What’s the timeline? What’s the number you need to stay under? We listen more than we talk.
- 3
You get a written price and scope of work. Within a few days, you have a line-item quote covering labor, materials, and permits. You’ll see exactly where the money goes. That written number is the number on the invoice, period.

Final walkthrough and written guarantee. We walk the finished job with you, make sure every detail is right, and hand you the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. No service call fee, no re-inspection fee.
How Much Does General Contractor Cost in Dallas?
A general contractor in Dallas prices work by scope, not by the hour. A typical kitchen remodel runs $14,000 – $45,000 depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and whether you’re moving plumbing or walls. A small kitchen can be done for $9,000 – $20,000. Bathrooms run $9,000 – $28,000 for a full remodel, with small bathrooms at $5,000 – $12,000. Whole-home remodels start around $45,000 and can reach $130,000. If you’re adding square footage, a home addition runs $45,000 – $130,000, and a garage conversion runs $30,000 – $80,000.
What drives the price up: relocating plumbing or electrical, removing load-bearing walls, upgrading to custom cabinetry, and choosing premium countertop materials like Cambria quartz. What keeps it down: keeping the existing footprint, choosing stock cabinetry lines like KraftMaid, and doing one room at a time instead of a whole-home remodel.
How to avoid overpaying: get a written line-item quote, not a verbal ballpark. Ask which materials are included and which are upgrades. Ask what happens if the price changes. With Penhallow Remodeling Dallas, the free estimate is a written number you can hold us to. Call (940) 204-5368 and you’ll know exactly what the job costs before you commit to anything.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Contractor in Dallas
A general contractor manages the entire remodeling project: permits, subcontractors, materials, schedule, and inspections. Instead of you coordinating an electrician, a plumber, and a tile installer, one company handles everything. In Dallas, a licensed general contractor pulls the permits and passes the inspections, which protects your home’s value and your legal standing if you ever sell.
Typical timelines depend on scope. A small bathroom remodel takes 2 to 4 weeks, a full kitchen 6 to 10 weeks, and a whole-home remodel 3 to 6 months. We give you a written timeline with your written price, and we stick to the arrival windows we set. Call (940) 204-5368 for a timeline specific to your project.
Dallas pricing ranges from $5,000 for a small bathroom refresh to $130,000 for a whole-home remodel or addition. Kitchens run $14,000 – $45,000, bathrooms $9,000 – $28,000, and cabinet installation alone runs $4,000 – $13,000. The exact number depends on materials, layout changes, and scope, and you’ll get a written figure before any work starts.
At Penhallow Remodeling, the written price is the invoice price. If you ask us to add scope mid-project, we put the change in writing and you approve it before we proceed. What we don’t do is hand you a surprise at the door. That’s the Kingswell standard, and it’s been in place since 2004.
Yes. We handle permit applications, schedule inspections, and make sure every job passes before we call it done. Working with an unpermitted contractor can leave you with fines and a home sale that falls through, so we don’t skip that step. Ever.
If the work fails inside 365 days, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s in writing on every project. No service call fee, no re-inspection fee. If it’s not done right, we make it right.
Clear the room of personal items, make a list of what you like and dislike about the current space, and set a budget number you’re comfortable with. We’ll handle the rest: measurements, material selections, permits, and the written quote. Call (940) 204-5368 and we’ll walk you through the whole process.
