Remodeling Company in Balch Springs, TX
Home remodeling in Balch Springs usually means working on a 1960s to 1980s ranch with pier-and-beam framing, brick veneer, and clay soil that has moved more than once since the house was built. The work spans full kitchen and bathroom gut jobs, whole-house renovations, and additions on lots where the original footprint was never designed for the way families live now. If you’re planning a remodel in Balch Springs, the first step is a written price and a plan that accounts for the age of the framing and the movement in the ground. Call us at (940) 204-5368 to talk through your project.
Why Balch Springs Homes Are Different
Balch Springs carries the marks of its building eras. The older sections around Hickory Creek and Five Mile Creek still have original farmhouses and early ranch homes, many of which were expanded before the city had a formal permit process. That means a remodel can uncover additions with no foundation tie to the main structure, floor joists that were sistered by hand, and roof lines that collect water where they shouldn’t. The newer subdivisions along Lake June Road and near Interstate 635 sit on slab-on-grade foundations, which behave differently in the region’s shrink-swell clay and tend to transfer movement into door frames, drywall, and tile work.
Summers here are hot and humid, winters are mild, and the clay under Balch Springs expands and contracts with every wet-dry cycle. We plan remodels around that movement: flexible trim joints, properly bedded tile, and framing corrections before finish materials go in. The city has also moved to its own building inspection department after years under county oversight, which has changed how permits and inspections get scheduled. We pull the permits and coordinate inspections so the city’s requirements are handled without the homeowner chasing paperwork.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Balch Springs Services
Most of the calls we take from Balch Springs homeowners fall into two buckets: full kitchen remodels and bathroom remodels, with a general contractor often leading the larger whole-home projects. Here’s how each one plays out in this city.
General Contractor in Balch Springs
When a Balch Springs project spans multiple trades – framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile, paint – a general contractor holds the schedule and the budget in one place. In the older ranch homes, that often means coordinating foundation-level framing checks before finish work, especially where unpermitted additions left mismatched floor heights. We write the full scope and price before demolition starts. Read more on our General Contractor in Balch Springs page.
Bathroom Remodeling in Balch Springs
Bathrooms in Balch Springs ranch homes are usually small – 40 to 70 square feet – and framed in dimensional lumber that has settled unevenly over the decades. A bathroom remodel here often includes reworking the plumbing rough-in, replacing a cast iron tub that never should have been kept, and correcting floor slope before tile goes down. We provide a written price that covers the full tear-out, rough-in, and finish. See Bathroom Remodeling in Balch Springs for details.
Kitchen Remodeling in Balch Springs
Kitchens in the 1960s-to-1980s housing stock were built small, with soffits, fluorescent fixtures, and no thought given to pantry space or open sightlines. A kitchen remodel in Balch Springs frequently means removing a load-bearing wall, which requires a new header and an engineer’s stamp, or reworking cabinetry against walls that are out of plumb by an inch or more. We handle the structural work, the cabinet line, and the countertop selection in one written quote. Details on the Kitchen Remodeling in Balch Springs page.

Home Remodeling in Balch Springs
Home remodeling in Balch Springs means taking a ranch or traditional home from the 1960s through the 1980s and bringing its layout, systems, and finishes forward without ignoring what the structure has been through. The clay soil has moved under many of these houses, so before we plan cabinets and tile we check floor level, door operation, and where previous additions meet the original frame. Our Home Remodeling work starts with a written scope and price, then moves in a sequence that keeps the house livable while the back half of the project is underway.
Home Remodeling Contractor
Signs you need it
Sloping floors, doors that will not latch in summer, cracked drywall above window headers, and a floor plan that no longer fits your family’s routine are the cues we hear most from Balch Springs homeowners.
What it costs in Balch Springs
Full home remodeling in Balch Springs runs from $14,000 for a focused interior update to $45,000 for a whole-house renovation depending on square footage, structural corrections, and finish level; kitchen remodels on top of that range from $14,000 to $45,000.
How we do it
We start with measurements and framing inspection, write the full scope with a fixed price, pull permits from the city, then sequence demo, rough-in, and finish work so uneven framing gets corrected before new finishes hide it.
Home Renovation
Signs you need it
If your Balch Springs home has original single-pane windows, failing sheet vinyl flooring, or a bath and kitchen that still carry their 1970s colors, a renovation is usually cheaper than buying a newer house with the same square footage.
What it costs in Balch Springs
A home renovation in Balch Springs covers a wide band from $14,000 for targeted updates to $45,000 for a multi-room renovation, and a full home addition starts at $45,000 and can reach $130,000 depending on foundation type and roofline tie-in.
How we do it
We replace systems and finishes in the order that protects finished work: rough plumbing and electrical first, drywall and trim next, then cabinets, countertops, flooring, and paint with a clean-up pass at the end of each day.
Home Remodeling Companies
Signs you need it
When one company is doing the plumbing and a different crew is setting cabinets and nobody is accountable for the gap between them, bringing in a single remodeling company keeps the job moving without a blame loop.
What it costs in Balch Springs
Working with a full-service home remodeling company in Balch Springs typically lands between $14,000 and $45,000 for the interior scope, with kitchens running $14,000 to $45,000 and bathrooms $9,000 to $28,000 when bundled into one project.
How we do it
Penhallow Remodeling runs the job as one company from permits to punch list, with a written price before work begins and uniformed, background-checked technicians doing the work on the schedule we set together.
Whole House Remodel
Signs you need it
A whole house remodel makes sense in Balch Springs when the foundation has been repaired but the interior was never updated to match, or when a growing family needs the space divided differently than a 1970s split-bedroom plan allows.
What it costs in Balch Springs
Whole house remodels in Balch Springs typically run $14,000 to $45,000 for the interior remodel scope; if the project includes a new addition or garage conversion, the home addition range starts at $45,000 and a garage conversion runs $30,000 to $80,000.
How we do it
We treat the house as one integrated project: remeasure the framing, correct out-of-level floors and out-of-square corners, then run electrical, plumbing, insulation, drywall, and finishes in one sequence with weekly walkthroughs.
