Remodeling Company in Plano, TX
Home remodeling in Plano means working with brick-veneer homes from the 1980s through 2000s, most of them sitting on post-tension slabs that move with the expansive clay underneath. The soil here shrinks in summer heat and swells after spring rain, which is why so many Plano remodelers start every interior job by checking how the structure has shifted before a single cabinet gets pulled. If you’re planning a kitchen or bathroom remodel in Plano, call Penhallow Remodeling Dallas at (940) 204-5368 and we’ll put a written price in your hand before any work starts.
Why Plano Homes Are Different
Plano’s vast master-planned subdivisions from the 1970s through the 2000s created something you don’t see in older, organically grown cities: entire blocks of homes that look nearly identical. The same muted browns, reds, and creams repeat street after street. That uniformity is a real advantage when you’re matching brick for an addition or repairing a section of wall after moving a doorway. Local brickyards and salvage yards in the Plano area stock the specific color blends these neighborhoods were built with, and a good remodeler knows which yard carries which run.
The soil is the other thing that shapes every Plano remodel. Expansive clay shrinks during dry summers and swells when spring storms roll through. Homes on post-tension slabs absorb that movement, but you’ll still see hairline cracks in drywall, doors that stick seasonally, and tile that separates from the wall in older homes. We account for that before we set any tile or hang any cabinetry. Older east-side neighborhoods like those around Parker Road and along the 75 corridor have 1970s and 80s ranch styles where pier-and-beam foundations are more common, and those move differently than the post-tension slabs found in newer west-side developments. A remodel in Plano has to be planned around how the house moves, not just how it looks.
HOA standards matter here too. Plano has some of the strictest aesthetic guidelines in the metroplex, especially in the newer subdivisions. If your remodel involves exterior work, matching original brick, stone, and trim isn’t optional. It’s a requirement written into your deed restrictions, and we plan for it from the first measurement.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Plano Services
Plano homeowners call us most often about three things: full-scale general contracting, bathroom remodels, and kitchen remodels. Here’s what each one looks like in this city.
General Contractor in Plano
When a Plano remodel touches structure, plumbing, electrical, or exterior work, you need a General Contractor in Plano who pulls permits with the city and schedules each trade in the right order. We manage the whole job so you’re not chasing electricians, plumbers, and tile setters yourself. In Plano, that also means knowing which inspections the city requires for work on post-tension slab homes and making sure every subcontractor shows up when we said they would. The written price we give you before demo day is the number on the final invoice.
Bathroom Remodeling in Plano
Plano’s original bathrooms from the 1980s and 90s were built with materials that are now decades past their useful life. Bathroom Remodeling in Plano usually means pulling out fiberglass tub surrounds, builder-grade vanities, and cracked tile to replace them with something that won’t fail in five years. We work with the post-tension slab reality here by making sure the new waterproofing and substrate can flex slightly with seasonal soil movement instead of cracking. Kohler and Moen fixtures go into most of the bathrooms we build in Plano, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the work in writing.
Kitchen Remodeling in Plano
Kitchen remodels in Plano are about function as much as finish. The original layouts in 1980s and 90s homes were built for a different way of living, without islands, without open sightlines, and with cabinet boxes that are wearing out. Kitchen Remodeling in Plano with us starts with a written layout and a written price. We’ll talk about cabinet lines like KraftMaid and Wellborn, countertop material from Cambria or Silestone, and how the finished kitchen will hold up through Plano’s summer heat and winter temperature swings. Fixed pricing means no change orders on the back end.

Home Remodeling in Plano
Home remodeling in Plano is shaped by the housing stock itself: brick-veneer exteriors, composition shingle roofs, and post-tension slab foundations from the 1980s through the 2000s. The expansive clay soils under most of the city shrink in the heat and swell in the rain, which means interior work has to be planned around how the house moves. We approach every whole-home remodel in Plano by first understanding the structural reality, then giving you a written number that holds. If you’re considering a full home renovation, visit our Home Remodeling page to see how we structure the job from first measurement to final walkthrough.
Home Remodeling Contractor
Signs you need it
Doors that stick seasonally, drywall cracks that reopen after patching, and kitchens or bathrooms that no longer work for your family are all signals that a structural and functional remodel is overdue.
What it costs in Plano
Whole-home work with a home remodeling contractor in Plano typically runs $45,000 to $130,000 depending on the square footage, scope, and whether you’re moving walls or updating finishes in place.
How we do it
We start with a written scope and fixed price, pull the Plano permits, and sequence demolition, framing, mechanical, and finish work so the house is never torn apart longer than it has to be.
Whole House Remodel
Signs you need it
Multiple rooms with original 1980s or 90s finishes, layouts that don’t fit how you live now, and a list of deferred repairs that keeps growing are the classic signals a whole house remodel in Plano is the right call.
What it costs in Plano
A whole house remodel in Plano generally lands between $45,000 and $130,000, with the final number driven by how much structural work the foundation needs and which cabinet and countertop lines you choose.
How we do it
We produce written line-item pricing before work starts, then coordinate every trade and inspection so the crew shows up in sequence and the job stays on the number we gave you.
Home Renovation
Signs you need it
Worn-out surfaces, outdated fixtures, and a home that feels tired rather than broken often mean a renovation rather than a single-room remodel is the better investment.
What it costs in Plano
Home renovation work here spans from about $14,000 for a focused kitchen update to $45,000 for a full kitchen remodel, and $9,000 to $28,000 for a bathroom depending on scope.
How we do it
We keep the trade word first and explain it simply, from cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile) to the cabinet box versus cabinet face, so you understand exactly what the written price covers.
