AfterConstruction in Carrollton, TX
Kitchen remodeling in Carrollton typically runs $14,000-$45,000 for a full project, with most 1980s-era homes needing slab foundation assessment before cabinets come out. We work on a lot of brick-veneer houses built between 1975 and 1995, and the Blackland Prairie clay underneath them has shifted enough over 30-plus drought-and-rain cycles that we check for movement before we set a single cabinet. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written price before anyone picks up a tool.
Why Carrollton Homes Are Different
Carrollton grew fast between the late 1970s and early 1990s, which means the dominant housing stock is single-family brick-veneer on slab-on-grade foundations sitting directly on expansive black clay. That clay loses moisture during summer stretches above 100°F, then re-expands when fall rains arrive. The result is foundation movement that is nearly universal across the city’s interior corridors, and it shows up as cracked drywall, doors that no longer latch, and tile that won’t stay grouted.
We also see a lot of polybutylene plumbing, original single-pane windows, and undersized electrical panels in these homes. Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 exposed insulation and pipe-protection gaps across the 1980s housing stock, and that has driven a sustained wave of remediation work. The city limits straddle Dallas, Denton, and a sliver of Collin County, so near Old Town and Furneaux Creek we verify which county’s jurisdiction governs permitting before we submit plans. Assuming Dallas County rules throughout Carrollton is a common and costly mistake.
Our Main Carrollton Services
Two services get the most calls from Carrollton homeowners, and each has its own dedicated page with local pricing and job details.
Fence Installation in Carrollton
Most Carrollton fences are wood or aluminum on clay soil that shifts with the seasons. Posts set without accounting for that movement lean within a few years, and gates stop closing. We set posts below the active clay zone and use hardware that tolerates minor movement. For full pricing and local specifics, see Fence Installation in Carrollton.
Driveway & Pavers in Carrollton
Concrete flatwork in Carrollton cracks when it’s poured during peak summer heat onto dry clay, so we schedule pours around soil moisture conditions. Paver driveways handle movement better than monolithic slabs, which is why we recommend them for older lots. For pricing and installation details, see Driveway & Pavers in Carrollton.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in Carrollton
Full kitchen remodeling in Carrollton runs $14,000-$45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether the floor plan changes. The biggest variable in this city’s 1975-1995 housing stock is what we find when we open the walls: polybutylene supply lines, undersized circuits, and slab movement that has pulled cabinets out of level. We document all of it with a photo record, and no change proceeds without a signed change order. Our full Kitchen Remodeling hub covers the process in depth.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Signs you need it
Cabinets pulling away from walls, doors that bind after slab movement, and layouts that no longer match how your family cooks.
What it costs in Carrollton
A full kitchen remodel in Carrollton ranges $14,000-$45,000, with cabinet grade and layout changes as the largest cost drivers.
How we do it
We assess foundation level, document existing plumbing and wiring, then write a flat price with a written scope before demolition starts.
Cabinets & Countertops
Signs you need it
Delaminating cabinet doors, worn laminate counters, or boxes that have absorbed moisture from sink leaks.
What it costs in Carrollton
Cabinet installation runs $4,000-$13,000 and countertop installation runs $2,000-$6,500 in Carrollton.
How we do it
We order from KraftMaid or Wellborn and Cambria or Caesarstone, then install with shims correcting for any slab slope.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Signs you need it
Cracked grout lines from slab movement, dated tile that no longer matches, or floors that slope visibly.
What it costs in Carrollton
Backsplash installation in Carrollton runs $800-$2,500 depending on material and square footage.
How we do it
We use uncoupling membranes over slab before tile goes down, which prevents the clay soil movement from telegraphing through.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Signs you need it
Workflow that puts the refrigerator, sink, and range far apart, or a footprint that wastes square footage you already have.
What it costs in Carrollton
Design and layout work is included in our full kitchen remodel range of $14,000-$45,000.
How we do it
We measure the existing space, map traffic patterns, and deliver a written scope with elevations before pricing is finalized.

| Full kitchen remodel | $14,000-$45,000 |
| Cabinet installation | $4,000-$13,000 |
| Countertop installation | $2,000-$6,500 |
Will slab movement affect my kitchen remodel in Carrollton?
Yes. Most 1975-1995 homes in Carrollton sit on expansive clay, and we check foundation level before any cabinet installation. If movement is significant, pier underpinning may be needed first, and that is priced as a written change order, not a surprise.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Carrollton?
Most full kitchen remodels run 6-10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Cabinet lead times from KraftMaid or Wellborn typically drive the schedule more than site labor. Call (470) 298-9650 for an exact timeline based on your scope.
Bathroom Remodeling in Carrollton
Bathroom remodeling in Carrollton runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full project, with small bathrooms starting around $5,000. The homes here were built when waterproofing meant green board and a prayer, so we pull the old shower walls expecting to find moisture damage behind them. Our Bathroom Remodeling hub covers the full scope. We fix what we find and document it with photos.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Signs you need it
Loose tiles, soft drywall behind the shower, or grout that stays dark no matter how often you clean it.
What it costs in Carrollton
Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500-$12,000 and shower replacement runs $3,000-$8,500 in Carrollton.
How we do it
We strip to the studs, inspect for rot, install a bonded waterproof membrane, then tile over a properly sloped pan.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Signs you need it
A cast-iron tub that is hard to step over, or a tub surround that has leaked into the subfloor.
What it costs in Carrollton
Tub-to-shower conversion in Carrollton runs $3,500-$10,000 depending on tile and glass choices.
How we do it
We remove the tub, verify drain location, install a new pan and membrane, then set tile and glass.

| Walk-in shower installation | $4,500-$12,000 |
| Tub-to-shower conversion | $3,500-$10,000 |
Does my Carrollton bathroom need foundation assessment before remodeling?
If tile floors are cracked or the vanity pulls away from the wall, yes. Slab movement on Blackland Prairie clay is common in Carrollton, and we check level before setting any tile or cabinetry. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written assessment.
What does a small bathroom remodel cost in Carrollton?
A small bathroom remodel in Carrollton runs $5,000-$12,000. The range depends on whether we’re moving plumbing or replacing in place, and what condition the subfloor and studs are in once demo is done.
Roofing in Carrollton
Roof replacement in Carrollton runs $8,000-$20,000 for a typical 1980s ranch, and roof repair runs $400-$1,800. The hail seasons here are real, and after any significant storm we recommend a documented inspection before you file a claim. Our Roofing hub covers materials and process, but the Carrollton-specific issue is heat: shingles on south-facing slopes bake at 100°F-plus for weeks every summer, and they fail faster than the north side.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
Missing shingles after a storm, granule loss in gutters, or water stains on ceilings after heavy rain.
What it costs in Carrollton
Roof repair in Carrollton runs $400-$1,800 depending on the number of squares affected and whether decking is damaged.
How we do it
We inspect the deck, photograph the damage, replace damaged shingles with matching color, and document everything.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
Shingles curling or cracking on the sun-facing slopes, or a roof past 20 years on a Carrollton home built before 1995.
What it costs in Carrollton
Roof replacement in Carrollton runs $8,000-$20,000, with GAF or Owens Corning dimensional shingles as our standard spec.
How we do it
We strip to the deck, inspect sheathing, install synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield in valleys, then shingle to manufacturer spec.
What Roofing Costs in Carrollton
| Item | Typical range in Carrollton |
|---|---|
| Roof replacement | $8,000-$20,000 |
| Roof repair | $400-$1,800 |
| Metal roof installation | $15,000-$40,000 |
Does the heat in Carrollton shorten my roof’s life?
Yes. South-facing and west-facing slopes in Carrollton endure weeks of 100°F-plus heat every summer, and shingles on those slopes degrade faster than the rest of the roof. We inspect them separately during every estimate. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written quote.
Do you work with insurance claims for roof damage in Carrollton?
We provide a documented photo record of damage and a written repair or replacement scope you can submit to your insurer. We don’t negotiate with your carrier, but our documentation is specific enough to support the claim.
Windows & Doors in Carrollton
Window replacement in Carrollton runs $4,500-$15,000 for a typical whole-home project, and impact window installation runs $8,000-$25,000. The 1980s housing stock here still has a lot of original single-pane aluminum frames, and after Winter Storm Uri in 2021, homeowners are replacing them not just for energy savings but for cold-weather resilience. Our Windows & Doors hub covers the full range of products we install, including Kohler and Toto fixtures when the project extends to wet areas.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Condensation between panes, frames that feel hot to the touch in summer, or windows that no longer open without force.
What it costs in Carrollton
Whole-home window replacement in Carrollton runs $4,500-$15,000 depending on window count and frame material.
How we do it
We measure each opening individually, order to spec, and install with proper flashing and insulation around every frame.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
Homes exposed to hail or wind-driven debris in Carrollton storms, or homeowners who want a documented upgrade for insurance purposes.
What it costs in Carrollton
Impact window installation in Carrollton runs $8,000-$25,000, with door upgrades priced separately by opening.
How we do it
We install impact-rated glass and frames with hurricane-rated hardware, then document the installation for your insurer.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Carrollton
| Item | Typical range in Carrollton |
|---|---|
| Window replacement | $4,500-$15,000 |
| Impact window installation | $8,000-$25,000 |
| Door installation | $1,500-$6,000 |
Are single-pane windows common in Carrollton homes?
Yes, especially in homes built between 1975 and 1995 that have never been updated. Single-pane aluminum frames lose heat in winter and gain it in summer, and replacing them is the single best energy improvement for this housing stock. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written quote.
Does replacing windows require a permit in Carrollton?
Most window replacements in Carrollton require a permit when the opening size changes, and the permitting jurisdiction depends on the specific county your address falls in. We verify before we order, and permit costs are included in our written price.
Home Additions & ADU in Carrollton
Home additions in Carrollton run $45,000-$130,000, and ADU construction runs $90,000-$220,000. Before any of that starts, the foundation question is first on the list: adding square footage to a slab-on-grade house sitting on Blackland Prairie clay means we check the existing slab’s condition before we design the addition. Our Home Additions & ADU hub covers the full process, including permitting and utility connection.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
A garage that no longer stores cars, or a floor plan where converting existing square footage is cheaper than adding new.
What it costs in Carrollton
Garage conversion in Carrollton runs $30,000-$80,000 depending on whether plumbing or HVAC must be extended.
How we do it
We verify the slab condition, design the conversion to code, pull permits from the correct county jurisdiction, and build out the space.
ADU Site Prep & Utilities
Signs you need it
A detached ADU where the site has clay soil heave, drainage issues, or utility connections that must cross existing slab.
What it costs in Carrollton
ADU site prep and utility runs are included in the $90,000-$220,000 range for ADU construction in Carrollton.
How we do it
We handle grading, drainage, and utility trenching, then document the site conditions before the foundation goes in.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in Carrollton
| Item | Typical range in Carrollton |
|---|---|
| Home addition | $45,000-$130,000 |
| ADU construction | $90,000-$220,000 |
| Garage conversion | $30,000-$80,000 |
Do I need a foundation assessment before adding onto my Carrollton home?
Yes. Adding square footage to a slab-on-grade house on Blackland Prairie clay without checking the existing slab’s condition risks differential movement between old and new foundation. We include that assessment in every addition estimate. Call (470) 298-9650.
Which county issues permits for my Carrollton ADU?
It depends on your address. Carrollton straddles Dallas, Denton, and a sliver of Collin County, and each has different plan submission and inspection schedules. We verify jurisdiction before we submit, and permit costs are in the written price.

We install and service KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, GAF and Owens Corning roofing, and Kohler and Toto fixtures. Parts are ordered from DFW distributors, not shipped from out of state, which keeps lead times predictable. See our brands for the full list.

Clay soil movement and the age of the 1975-1995 housing stock are the two biggest price drivers in Carrollton, because both add scope to nearly every project. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, the price is written before anyone starts, so those variables are priced out in the estimate, not discovered mid-job.

FAQs About Construction in Carrollton
Carrollton’s city limits cross Dallas, Denton, and a small portion of Collin County. The permitting jurisdiction depends on your specific address, and assuming one county throughout the city causes plan submission delays. We verify jurisdiction before any permit is pulled.
Blackland Prairie clay expands and contracts with moisture, so concrete flatwork and exterior work is scheduled around soil conditions. We avoid pouring during dry summer stretches when the soil is at maximum contraction, which prevents cracking later. Interior remodels are less affected.
