AfterConstruction in Plano, TX
Kitchen remodeling in Plano typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, and the job almost always starts with the same two questions: what’s under the slab, and what will the HOA allow. Most Plano homes were built between 1970 and 1995 on post-tension concrete foundations, which means saw-cutting for a new island or moving a sink line requires pulling the original slab drawings before anyone picks up a saw. The clay soil under those slabs also swells and shrinks with every drought and rain cycle, so a remodel that ignores drainage and moisture planning is a remodel that cracks. Call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll price the job in writing before any work starts.
Why Plano Homes Are Different
Plano’s residential land was almost fully developed between 1970 and 1995, so nearly every project here is a remodel or an addition to an aging brick-veneer home, not a new build on raw land. Those homes sit on the Blackland Prairie’s expansive clay, which shrinks hard during North Texas droughts and swells after seasonal rains. That soil movement is chronic, and it shows up in hairline drywall cracks, sticky doors, and uneven flatwork. Any contractor working in Plano has to plan for it: grading, drainage, and moisture retention around the foundation aren’t optional upgrades. They’re baseline requirements if the work is supposed to last.
The other constant is the HOA. Most of Plano’s housing stock sits inside master-planned communities with architectural review boards that control exterior finishes, additions, and rooflines. A kitchen remodel that doesn’t touch the exterior usually clears quickly, but an addition, a new window opening, or even a visible vent change can trigger submittal requirements. We handle the documentation, and we pull the original slab drawings from the city before any saw-cutting, because the cable grid on a 1980s post-tension slab is rarely where an estimator assumes it is.
Our Main Plano Services
Two services generate more calls from Plano homeowners than any other: fence installation and driveway and paver work. Both involve the same HOA review boards and the same expansive clay soil, just applied to the perimeter and the flatwork.
Fence Installation in Plano
Plano HOAs are particular about fence materials, heights, and even the direction of the finished face, so a fence job here starts with the submittal packet, not the post holes. The clay soil also matters: posts set in expansive clay without gravel backfill or concrete collars will heave within a few seasons. We quote vinyl and aluminum fence installation with the local soil behavior priced in, and we document every visit with photos. For the full breakdown, see Fence Installation in Plano.
Driveway & Pavers in Plano
Driveway work in Plano means dealing with post-tension slabs where the driveway ties into the garage, plus clay soil that moves under pavers and concrete alike. Proper base compaction and drainage planning determine whether a paver driveway stays flat or develops waves within two years. We price concrete and paver driveways with those local conditions written into the scope. Details and ranges are on the Driveway & Pavers in Plano page.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in Plano
A full kitchen remodel in Plano runs $14,000 to $45,000, and the price moves based on whether we’re working around a post-tension slab and how much the layout changes. Plano’s 1970s through 1990s kitchens were built to a tighter footprint than most homeowners now want, so many jobs involve removing a wall, relocating plumbing, or adding an island where the slab drawings say a cable may be running. That’s the local reality: we pull the original plans, map the cable grid, and price the work in writing before we cut anything. Our Kitchen Remodeling process starts with a flat written price and a written scope, not a phone estimate.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Signs you need it
Cabinet faces are delaminating, the layout traps two cooks in a single path, and the appliances haven’t moved since the Clinton administration.
What it costs in Plano
A full kitchen remodel in Plano runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and whether walls or plumbing move.
How we do it
We map the existing slab and utilities, finalize the layout with a written scope, pull permits, then demo and rebuild with a documented photo record at every stage.
Cabinets & Countertops
Signs you need it
Drawer slides bind, shelf pins have wallowed out their holes, and the laminate edge is peeling away from the substrate.
What it costs in Plano
Cabinet installation runs $4,000 to $13,000, and countertop installation adds $2,000 to $6,500 in Plano.
How we do it
We quote from named cabinet lines like KraftMaid and Wellborn and countertop brands like Cambria and Caesarstone, then install with leveling and scribing to the actual wall.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Plano
| Item | Typical range in Plano |
|---|---|
| Small kitchen remodel | $9,000 - $20,000 |
| Kitchen island installation | $3,000 - $10,000 |
| Backsplash installation | $800 - $2,500 |
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Plano?
A full kitchen remodel in Plano usually takes 6 to 10 weeks, with cabinet lead times driving much of the schedule. HOA review for interior-only work rarely adds time, but slab-related utility moves can add a week. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written timeline tied to your scope.
Do kitchen remodels in Plano need a permit?
Yes. Any kitchen remodel that moves plumbing, electrical, or walls in Plano needs a city permit, and we pull it before work starts. HOA approval is separate and usually required for anything visible from the street. Call (470) 298-9650 for a free written estimate.
Bathroom Remodeling in Plano
A bathroom remodel in Plano runs $9,000 to $28,000, and the biggest local cost driver is the same slab that affects every other trade: moving a toilet or shower drain means saw-cutting through post-tension concrete. Most Plano bathrooms from the 1980s and 1990s were built small, with standard tubs and single vanities, so the typical job here is a tub-to-shower conversion or a full rework that expands the footprint into a closet or hallway. We pull the slab drawings first, confirm the cable grid, and price the job in writing before demolition starts. Bathroom Remodeling under The Haven Standard means the written price is delivered before anyone picks up a tool.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
Signs you need it
The tile grout is failing, the vanity has swollen from years of moisture, and the layout doesn’t work for two people at once.
What it costs in Plano
A full bathroom remodel in Plano runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on fixture line, tile selection, and whether the drain moves.
How we do it
We strip to the studs and slab, map the plumbing and cable locations, then rebuild with a written scope, permit, and photo record at each inspection point.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Signs you need it
The tub is rarely used, the step-over is becoming a safety concern, and the existing surround has water intrusion behind it.
What it costs in Plano
A tub-to-shower conversion in Plano runs $3,500 to $10,000, with the range driven by valve work, drain relocation, and tile or solid-surface surround choices.
How we do it
We pull the slab drawings to confirm the drain and cable locations, remove the tub, set the new pan and valve, then build the surround with waterproofing membrane behind the tile.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs in Plano
| Item | Typical range in Plano |
|---|---|
| Small bathroom remodel | $5,000 - $12,000 |
| Walk-in shower installation | $4,500 - $12,000 |
| Bathroom vanity installation | $800 - $3,000 |
Can you replace a tub with a walk-in shower in a Plano slab home?
Yes, and it’s one of the most common bathroom jobs we do in Plano. The key step is pulling the original slab drawings before cut time, since drain relocation on a post-tension slab requires knowing exactly where the cables run. Call (470) 298-9650 for an exact quote.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Plano?
A full bathroom remodel in Plano typically runs 3 to 6 weeks, with the longer end for jobs that move drains or expand the footprint. Permit and HOA review can add a week. We’ll put the timeline in writing with your quote.
Roofing in Plano
Roof replacement in Plano runs $8,000 to $20,000, and the price moves with the shingle layer count, decking condition, and whether the HOA requires a specific profile or color line. Plano roofs take a beating: hail events are common, the summer sun bakes asphalt shingles, and the clay soil means any decking rot or sag has to be checked against foundation movement before we re-cover. Our Roofing process starts with a written price and a written scope, and every visit includes a documented photo record of what we found on the deck and what we installed.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Shingles are curling or losing granules, the roof has two or more layers, and you can see daylight in the attic after a storm.
What it costs in Plano
A full roof replacement in Plano runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on roof size, pitch, shingle brand, and the number of existing layers.
How we do it
We strip to the deck, inspect and replace damaged sheathing, install the underlayment and shingle system, and document the layers with photos before and after.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
You have a ceiling stain after heavy rain, missing shingles after wind, or flashing that has pulled away from the chimney or vent pipes.
What it costs in Plano
Roof repair in Plano runs $400 to $1,800, depending on whether it’s a shingle patch, flashing replacement, or a localized deck repair.
How we do it
We locate the leak source, repair or replace the damaged section, and document the repair with photos so you can see what was found and what was done.
What Roofing Costs in Plano
| Item | Typical range in Plano |
|---|---|
| Roof replacement | $8,000 - $20,000 |
| Roof repair | $400 - $1,800 |
| Metal roof installation | $15,000 - $40,000 |
Does my Plano HOA have to approve my roof replacement?
Most Plano HOAs require approval for any roof change that affects the color, material, or profile visible from the street. We prepare the submittal packet with the shingle or metal spec the HOA needs. Call (470) 298-9650 to get the quote started.
How many layers can a roof have in Plano?
Building code limits most residential roofs to two shingle layers, and many Plano HOAs cap it at one for re-roofs on 1980s and 1990s homes. We’ll check what’s currently installed and write the scope to code.
Windows & Doors in Plano
Window replacement in Plano runs $4,500 to $15,000, and the decision usually comes down to energy loss and HOA exterior standards. Plano’s 1970s through 1990s homes were built with single-pane aluminum or builder-grade wood windows that lose cooling fast during Texas summers, and most HOAs require a specific frame color and style for anything street-facing. We quote from named window lines and submit the HOA documentation with the written price. See Windows & Doors for the full process, including the documented photo record that comes standard on every visit.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
The frames are warped or rotted, the glass is single-pane, and you can feel heat radiating through the glass in August.
What it costs in Plano
Window replacement in Plano runs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on window count, frame material, and whether the openings need any structural correction.
How we do it
We measure each opening, confirm the HOA’s exterior spec, remove the old unit, flash the rough opening, and install the new window with air-sealing at the perimeter.
Door Installation
Signs you need it
The door binds in its frame, the sweep lets daylight through, or the frame itself has shifted with the slab movement.
What it costs in Plano
Door installation in Plano falls within the window and door range of $4,500 to $15,000 for a full door system, depending on material and hardware.
How we do it
We check the rough opening against the slab movement, set the new door with shims and long screws into the framing, and re-caulk the exterior perimeter.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Plano
| Item | Typical range in Plano |
|---|---|
| Window replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Impact window installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
| Door installation | $1,000 - $6,500 |
Do Plano HOAs restrict window styles?
Yes, most Plano HOAs require specific frame materials, colors, and grid patterns for windows and doors visible from the street. We pull the HOA guidelines before we quote, so the written price matches what the board will approve. Call (470) 298-9650 for a free estimate.
Will new windows help with Plano’s summer heat?
Yes, significantly. Single-pane aluminum frames from the 1980s are the biggest energy loss in a Plano home, and replacing them with low-E double-pane units cuts solar heat gain substantially. We’ll quote the exact glass package in writing.
Home Additions & ADU in Plano
A home addition in Plano runs $45,000 to $130,000, and an ADU starts at $90,000 and goes to $220,000 depending on size, utility runs, and whether it’s attached or detached. The local constraint is the same one that shapes every other trade: post-tension slabs and expansive clay mean the foundation design has to be right before the framing goes up. Many Plano additions also run through HOA review, especially anything that changes the street-facing massing or roofline. We pull the original slab drawings, engineer the footing and drainage plan for the clay soil, and price it all in writing. That’s the Home Additions & ADU process under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard: a written price before any work starts.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
The garage is used for storage, not cars, and you need a rental unit or a separate living space for family without adding a new foundation.
What it costs in Plano
A garage conversion ADU in Plano runs $90,000 to $220,000, with the range driven by plumbing, insulation, and electrical upgrades.
How we do it
We pull the slab drawings, confirm the existing foundation condition, then convert the space with proper insulation, egress, and utility rough-ins.
ADU Site Prep & Utilities
Signs you need it
You’re adding a detached ADU and the site is on expansive clay with drainage that has to be engineered, not guessed.
What it costs in Plano
ADU construction in Plano runs $90,000 to $220,000, with site prep and utility runs typically accounting for a significant share on detached units.
How we do it
We grade for drainage, engineer the footing for the clay soil, set the utility runs from the main service, and document every inspection with photos.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in Plano
| Item | Typical range in Plano |
|---|---|
| Home addition | $45,000 - $130,000 |
| ADU construction | $90,000 - $220,000 |
| Garage conversion | $30,000 - $80,000 |
Will Plano’s HOA allow a detached ADU?
Some will, with conditions on setbacks, height, and exterior finishes. The Plano zoning rules allow ADUs in certain residential districts, but the HOA overlay is usually stricter. We’ll pull both sets of rules before we price the job. Call (470) 298-9650 for a free written estimate.
Do I need a foundation engineer for a Plano addition?
In most cases, yes. Adding square footage means adding load, and the expansive clay under a Plano slab needs an engineered footing and drainage plan. We bring in the engineer and include their work in the written price.
