Trusted Home Remodeling for Dallas Homeowners
Home Remodeling - Dallas typically costs between $9,000 for a small bathroom refresh and $130,000 for a full-scale addition, with most kitchen remodels landing in the $14,000 to $45,000 range depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and whether you’re moving plumbing. We’re Penhallow Remodeling Dallas, led by Trevor Nash, and we’ve built our reputation on one thing: a written price before any work starts, and a written guarantee that lasts 365 days after the job is done. If you’ve been burned by a contractor before, you already know why that matters. Call (940) 204-5368 and you’ll get a real person, not a voicemail maze, ready to schedule your free estimate.
Home Remodeling Contractor
A home remodeling contractor is the licensed general contractor who pulls permits, coordinates subcontractors, and carries the responsibility for the entire project from demolition day to final walkthrough. When you’re adding square footage, moving a load-bearing wall, or touching plumbing and electrical behind drywall, you need someone who carries Texas general contractor credentials and doesn’t hand the job off to whoever answers the phone. Penhallow Remodeling Dallas operates under the Kingswell standard: a written price up front, a defined arrival window, a clean job site, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Kitchen remodels run $14,000 to $45,000, bathrooms $9,000 to $28,000, and home additions $45,000 to $130,000. Every job gets a written guarantee before the first tool comes off the truck.
Permits and Code Compliance
Dallas requires permits for any remodel that alters structure, plumbing, or electrical systems. We pull those permits, schedule inspections, and don’t ask you to sign off on work that hasn’t passed. It’s slower than skipping the paperwork, but it’s the only way to protect the investment you’re making.
Materials With a Warranty Behind Them
We install Cambria quartz countertops, KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, and Kohler and Moen fixtures. These brands carry their own manufacturer warranties, which sit alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Two layers of protection on every surface we touch.

Home Renovation
Home renovation is the broader term for improving what already exists: gutting a dated bathroom, reconfiguring a closed-off kitchen, or bringing a 1980s ranch in Home Remodeling in Richardson up to how families actually live now. It differs from new construction because you’re working within existing walls, which means dealing with surprises behind drywall and matching new work to old framing. In Dallas, a small bathroom renovation starts around $5,000, while a full kitchen renovation can reach $45,000 once you factor in custom cabinetry and stone countertops. We handle the entire scope: demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, tile, finishes. One written price, one written guarantee, one 365-day promise to make it right.
When Renovation Beats Moving
If you love your street in Lakewood or your lot in Sachse but the kitchen feels like a time capsule, renovation usually costs less than a 6% realtor commission plus moving costs and a new mortgage rate. We’ll walk you through the math honestly, even when it points away from a bigger job.
The Written Price Difference
Most renovation horror stories start with a verbal estimate. Ours starts with a written number you can hold us to, and the number on day one is the number on the final invoice. No change orders because we missed something in the walkthrough.
Home Remodeling Companies
Home remodeling companies in Dallas range from one-truck operations that quote by the hour to full design-build firms with showrooms and in-house architects. What separates them is what they put in writing. Penhallow Remodeling Dallas isn’t the cheapest option, and we won’t pretend to be. We’re the company that hands you a written price, a defined arrival window, and a written guarantee before work starts, then shows up in uniform, background-checked, and accountable to the Kingswell standard that’s been in place since 2004. A kitchen island installation runs $3,000 to $10,000. A full kitchen remodel runs $14,000 to $45,000. What you’ll never see from us: a price that balloons after demo day.
How We’re Structured
Penhallow Remodeling Dallas is independently owned and operated as part of the Kingswell family of companies. That means local accountability with brand-level standards. Trevor Nash runs this location, and the buck stops at his desk, not a corporate call center.
What the Guarantee Actually Says
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise states that if the work fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. No service call fee, no re-inspection fee, no argument about whose fault it was. It’s in writing on every project.
Whole House Remodel
A whole house remodel means touching every major system and surface: kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, lighting, paint, and often the roofline or foundation. It’s the right move when a home’s bones are good but everything else is dated, or when you’ve bought a house in Highland Park, Home Remodeling in Balch Springs, or Heath that was never updated. In Dallas, a whole house remodel typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, kitchen and bath count, and whether you’re replacing mechanical systems. We sequence the work so you’re not living in a construction zone longer than necessary, and we put the full scope, price, and timeline in writing before demo starts.
Sequencing Without the Chaos
We phase whole house work so plumbing and electrical happen before drywall, drywall before flooring, flooring before trim. It sounds obvious, but contractors who skip the sequence create rework and delays. Our process follows the inspector’s schedule, not the crew’s convenience.
One Price, One Team
You get one project manager, one written price, and one guarantee covering the entire scope. No finger-pointing between a tile guy and a cabinet installer. If something fails in year one, we fix it.
Luxury Home Remodeling
Luxury home remodeling is the tier where material choices drive the budget: Cambria or Caesarstone countertops, custom Wellborn cabinetry, Kohler and Moen fixtures, and architectural details that require real craftsmanship. It’s common in Highland Park, Lakewood, Home Remodeling in Irving, and newer builds in Heath where homeowners want the interior to match the address. In Dallas, luxury kitchen remodels often start at $45,000 and climb from there, while luxury bathroom remodels can exceed $28,000 when you’re adding steam showers, heated floors, and slab stone. We don’t upsell luxury for its own sake. We quote real materials, real labor, and the same 365-Day Done Right Promise on every job, whether it’s a $9,000 guest bath or a six-figure whole home transformation.
Countertop Materials That Earn Their Price
Cambria quartz carries a lifetime manufacturer warranty, which stacks on top of our written guarantee. Silestone and Caesarstone offer similar protection. For natural stone, we’ll walk you through sealing requirements and maintenance honestly, because stone that isn’t maintained properly isn’t a luxury, it’s a liability.
Fixture Lines We Stand Behind
Kohler and Moen dominate our installs because their replacement parts will be available in ten years. A luxury faucet that can’t be repaired is a $900 paperweight. We spec fixtures with serviceability in mind.
Full Home Remodel
A full home remodel goes beyond cosmetic updates to include structural changes, system replacements, and often a home addition or garage conversion. Think of it as a whole house remodel with the scope turned up: moving walls, adding square footage, replacing HVAC and electrical panels, and reconfiguring every room. In Dallas, full home remodels run $45,000 to $130,000, with ADU construction reaching $90,000 to $220,000 and garage conversions landing between $30,000 and $80,000. We’re the contractor you want when the project is too big for a handyman and too important for a company that won’t put the price in writing. Every full home remodel we take on gets a written scope, a written price, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Structural Work Done Right
Moving a load-bearing wall in a Dallas home means engineering, permits, and inspections. We bring in licensed structural engineers when the scope demands it and we don’t cover anything up until the inspector signs off. This is the part of remodeling where shortcuts become lawsuits.
Mechanical and Electrical Scope
Full remodels often require upgraded electrical panels and HVAC ductwork to handle new layouts. We coordinate those trades ourselves, with licensed subcontractors, and their work falls under the same written guarantee as the cabinetry.
Brands We Service
We work with CGI windows and doors on full home remodels where impact-rated products make sense for Dallas weather, particularly on homes in Rowlett and Sachse that sit in hail-prone corridors. CGI’s laminated glass holds up better than builder-grade units when the next storm rolls through.
For window replacement in older Dallas homes, we frequently install ECO Window Systems and ES Windows, both of which offer energy-efficient aluminum and vinyl lines that meet current Texas code. CWS rounds out the brands we specify when a client wants premium cladding and thermal performance without jumping to a custom millwork price. Whether you have one of these brands already or you’re choosing new, we can help you spec the right product and install it under our written guarantee.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water stains on ceilings or walls. This means a leak is active or recent, and drywall is holding moisture. Left alone, it becomes mold and framing rot, and a small roof or plumbing repair turns into a structural remodel.
- Cracks wider than a dime in drywall or foundation slab. Hairline cracks are normal settlement. Wider cracks, especially around door frames, suggest foundation movement, which affects every remodel decision downstream. You need an assessment before you spend money on finishes.
- Soft spots in flooring near tubs, toilets, or exterior doors. Soft subfloor means water has been getting in for a while. In Dallas bathrooms from the 1970s and 80s, this is almost always a failed pan or a supply line leak. We open it up, replace the substrate, and fix the source before tile goes down.
- Kitchen cabinets pulling away from walls. This usually means the wall framing or the cabinet fasteners have failed. If your cabinet line is KraftMaid or Wellborn and the boxes are sound, it’s an install issue. If the boxes are compromised, replacement is cheaper than repeated repair.
- Electrical flicker when appliances cycle on. That’s a panel or circuit issue, not a bulb problem. Any remodel that adds load, a double oven, a steam shower, an EV charger, requires a panel assessment first. We won’t tile over an electrical fire waiting to happen.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Walkthrough and written estimate. Trevor Nash or a senior project manager walks the property with you, measures, photographs, and discusses scope. You get a written price within days, not a verbal range, and it covers the specific work discussed, not a generic line item for “kitchen remodel.”
- 2
Scope confirmation and material selection. We lock in cabinet line, countertop material, fixture brands, and finish schedule. This is where the price firms up. Changes after this point are documented in writing with their own cost, so you’re never surprised at the end.
- 3
Permit application and scheduling. We submit drawings and permit applications to the City of Dallas, and we don’t start demo until the permit is issued. You get a defined arrival window for the crew, and the crew shows up in uniform, background-checked.
- 4
Construction and progress updates. Your project manager is your single point of contact, and you’ll get updates at defined milestones: after demo, after rough-in inspections, after drywall, after finishes. The job site is cleaned at the end of every workday, per the Kingswell standard.
- 5
Final walkthrough and written guarantee. We walk the job with you, test every fixture, and document anything that needs touch-up. You get the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, along with any manufacturer warranties from Cambria, KraftMaid, Kohler, or Moen. If something fails inside a year, we come back at no charge.
How Much Does Home Remodeling Cost in Dallas?
A typical bathroom remodel in Dallas runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on whether you’re keeping the existing footprint or moving plumbing, while a small bathroom refresh starts around $5,000. Kitchen remodels range from $14,000 for a modest cabinet and countertop replacement to $45,000 for a full layout change with custom Wellborn cabinetry and Cambria quartz. Countertop installation alone runs $2,000 to $6,500, backsplash $800 to $2,500, and a kitchen island $3,000 to $10,000. Home additions are the big-ticket item: $45,000 to $130,000 depending on foundation work, roofline changes, and mechanical scope. A garage conversion lands between $30,000 and $80,000.
What drives the price up or down: moving plumbing and electrical is more expensive than working within existing rough-in locations. Cabinet line matters, KraftMaid costs less than custom Wellborn. Countertop material counts, laminate is cheapest, Cambria quartz sits in the middle, natural stone with full slab backsplashes at the top. The condition of your subfloor and framing matters, and in Dallas, older homes often have cast iron drain lines that need replacement once the walls are open.
How to avoid overpaying: get a written price, not a verbal range, and make sure it itemizes materials, labor, permits, and demo. Ask what happens if the job goes over the estimate, and read the guarantee before you sign. Our free estimate includes a written line-item price, a defined scope, and a copy of the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (940) 204-5368 to schedule yours.
