Why Penhallow Remodeling Dallas Is Irving’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Irving homeowners call us after they’ve been burned once, sometimes twice. They’ve had contractors vanish after demo day, or hand them a verbal ballpark that doubled by framing. What they get with us is a General Contractor team that writes the price down first and puts the guarantee in the same document. Trevor Nash leads our crews with one standing rule: no work begins until the homeowner understands what it costs, what it covers, and what happens if something fails inside a year.
We serve Irving from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, with dispatch coordinated for local neighborhoods like the Hospital District, Del Rancho, and Valley Ranch. A live person answers our phones 24/7, not a voicemail maze. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform, so you know exactly who’s walking into your home. Our 365-Day Done Right Promise means if the work fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s in writing, on every job, with a free second visit if a repair fails.
Key takeaways: written pricing before work starts, a 365-day written guarantee, background-checked uniformed technicians, and a real person answering the phone around the clock in Irving.
Styles & brands we work with
Licensed General Contractor in Irving
A Licensed General Contractor in Irving handles the big scope work: kitchen remodels in Irving, bathroom remodels, whole-home renovations, room additions, and any project where framing, plumbing, electrical, and permits overlap. In Irving, licensing matters because city inspectors enforce wind-load requirements on any structural opening, and they want to see documentation before they’ll sign off. A kitchen remodel in Irving typically runs $14,000 – $45,000 depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and whether you’re moving plumbing. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 – $28,000.
Permit Coordination and Wind-Load Documentation
Every structural change in Irving goes through the city’s permit desk, and that means engineering letters, wind-rated framing details, and inspection scheduling. We handle all of it. If you open an exterior wall for a pass-through or slider, Irving requires wind-load documentation proving the new header and connections meet code for a region that sees severe thunderstorms and hail. A cheap quote often skips this step because the engineering letter costs money. A compliant quote includes it.
Slab and Foundation Scope in 1960s – 1970s Homes
Irving’s older housing stock sits on expansive clay soil, and slab heave is common in neighborhoods like the Hospital District and Del Rancho. Any remodel in those areas should start with a slab elevation survey. We include that in our written scope when the home’s age and location call for it, because cracked tile six months after a remodel is usually not bad installation, it’s the ground moving underneath.
Residential General Contractor in Irving
A Residential General Contractor in Irving manages the projects homeowners actually live through: kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, room additions, and whole-home renovations on single-family homes built primarily between the 1960s and 1980s. These homes are often slab-on-grade, brick veneer, with original cast-iron plumbing that has been corroding from the inside for fifty years. A home addition in Irving runs $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage and foundation scope. Impact window installation runs $8,000 – $25,000, and roof replacement runs $8,000 – $20,000.
Cast-Iron Repiping When You Open Walls
If your Irving home still has its original cast-iron waste lines and you open a wall or slab during a remodel, you should know what’s behind the drywall. We routinely find lines so corroded they’ve already started leaking into the slab. Patch kits on 1960s cast iron fail again within two years. We recommend full PVC re-pipes when the lines are exposed, and we put that recommendation in writing before the sledgehammer comes out.
Foundation Assessment Before Additions
Irving’s clay soil expands and contracts with moisture, which means a room addition changes the load path on a slab that may already be heaving. We include a foundation assessment in our room addition scope when the home is slab-on-grade and built before 1990. The written quote tells you what the assessment found, what pier-and-beam or post-tension remediation costs, and what happens if the city inspector requires additional engineering. No surprises at the end, because the number was written down at the start.
Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
We install and service products from brands that back their work with warranties that parallel our own 365-Day Done Right Promise, including Cws repair in Irving. In Irving, we regularly work with Moen and Delta fixtures, Blanco sinks, and American Standard tubs and toilets. Because we stock common parts locally for Irving customers, we can often complete a fixture swap or warranty replacement faster than a crew driving in from the edges of the metroplex. The product carries its warranty. Our work carries ours. Both are in writing.
Common General Contractor Problems We See in Irving Homes
- Corroded cast-iron waste lines under slab foundations. In Irving’s 1960s – 1970s homes, the original cast iron often corrodes from the inside out, causing slab leaks near kitchens and bathrooms. A remodel that opens the slab without addressing this is a second leak waiting to happen.
- Expansive clay soil heave cracking tile and drywall. Irving sits on highly expansive clay that moves with rainfall and drought. Cracks that appear months after a remodel usually trace back to slab movement, not installation error.
- Remodels closed up without city inspections. We’ve walked into Irving homes where a previous contractor closed walls after rough-in without calling the city, leaving the homeowner unable to prove wind-rated framing or proper drainage when a hailstorm later damaged the exterior. That’s a costly fix.
- Quotes that skip wind-load engineering on exterior openings. Opening an exterior wall in Irving triggers wind-load documentation requirements. A quote that doesn’t include the engineering letter and inspection fees is a quote that will grow once the city gets involved.

The Local Reality: Why Irving Remodels Need a Different Scope
Irving’s construction market sits inside the densest, fastest-growing corridor of DFW, but the homes themselves tell an older story. Most single-family homes here were built between the 1960s and 1980s, slab-on-grade, brick veneer, with original cast-iron plumbing. That means a general contractor working in Irving has to plan for two problems at once: corroded waste lines and expansive clay soil heaving the slab. It’s a double diagnosis you don’t see as often in neighboring suburbs like Richardson or DeSoto, where the housing stock skews newer.
In the Hospital District, our crew opened a 1968 brick veneer home for a kitchen remodel and found cast-iron drain lines so corroded they had caused a slab leak under the original terrazzo. We re-piped the waste lines in PVC, installed a post-tension slab repair where the clay had heaved, and re-framed the load-bearing wall to meet Irving’s wind-load requirements before the inspection sign-off. That’s the difference between a contractor who knows Irving and one who just quotes a kitchen.
This is also why a generic remodeling quote doesn’t hold up here. A contractor who hasn’t worked in Irving won’t know that the city’s permit desk expects wind-load documentation on any structural opening, that the clay soil under Las Colinas and Valley Ranch moves more than most homeowners realize, or that a 1972 slab home in Del Rancho probably needs a foundation assessment before a room addition makes sense. Those are the things that turn a $30,000 quote into a $45,000 job, and they’re the things we write down before you ever sign.

FAQs About General Contractor in Irving
Yes. If your kitchen remodel opens or widens an exterior wall for a pass-through, slider, or window, Irving’s building department requires wind-load documentation proving the new header and connections meet North Texas code. We include the engineering letter and inspection fees in our written quote. A contractor who skips this will either get caught at inspection or leave you with a wall that doesn’t meet code. Call (940) 204-5368 and we’ll tell you whether your project triggers the requirement.
Moving plumbing in an Irving bathroom remodel requires a rough-in inspection before walls are closed, and a final inspection after fixtures are set. The city wants to see the drain lines, venting, and water supply before drywall goes up. We schedule both inspections, and we don’t close a wall until the inspector has signed off. If a previous contractor closed walls without an inspection, we can still help, but the wall may need to come back open.
Because Irving’s expansive clay soil expands and contracts dramatically with moisture, and a 1970s slab-on-grade home has spent fifty years riding that movement. Adding square footage changes the load path, and building on a slab that’s already heaving will cause cracks in the new work within months. We include a foundation assessment in our room addition scope for pre-1990 slab homes, and we give you the written findings before we pour concrete or frame a wall.
Your insurer will want proof the work was permitted, inspected, and built to code, especially if the damage involves roofing, windows, or exterior walls. In Irving, that means your contractor should have pulled permits, passed city inspections, and kept the wind-load documentation on file. We provide a document package with every completed project: permits, inspection sign-offs, engineering letters, and the written guarantee. If a hail claim comes later, you won’t be digging through file cabinets.
With Penhallow Remodeling Dallas, allowances in an Irving remodel contract are written down as line items, not open-ended percentages. If we open a wall and find corroded cast-iron waste lines, we show you the condition, explain what a full PVC re-pipe costs, and give you a written change order before any new work starts. We don’t proceed on a verbal okay, and we don’t bury the cost in a vague “contingency” line. The price you signed is the price you pay, unless you approve a written change. Call (940) 204-5368 for an exact quote on your project. Estimates are free.
