AfterConstruction in Dallas, TX
Kitchen remodeling in Dallas typically runs $14,000-$45,000, with smaller jobs landing between $9,000 and $20,000. What makes Dallas work different is the housing stock: 1920s-1950s brick bungalows in East Dallas and Lakewood sit on pier-and-beam foundations that have shifted for decades, while Preston Hollow teardowns start from scratch on Blackland Prairie clay. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written price before any work starts.
Why Dallas Homes Are Different
Dallas sits on Blackland Prairie clay that heaves and shrinks 3-4 inches seasonally. That soil movement is the single biggest variable in any renovation here: a 1940s Tudor in the M Streets may need floor leveling before cabinets go in, and a new addition in Lake Highlands should be engineered on post-tensioned slabs or drilled concrete piers, not a standard footing. The city’s “Hail Alley” position also means exterior work gets tested hard. Roofs, windows, and siding are rotated through a faster repair cycle than almost anywhere else in the state.
Kitchens and bathrooms in older Dallas homes bring their own quirks. Original pier-and-beam floors have settled under decades of clay expansion, so tile layouts often need a decoupling membrane before any tile goes down. Cast iron drain lines from the 1950s in Oak Cliff and Lakewood are at the end of their service life. And the summer heat, when concrete cures too fast in 100°F weather, changes pour schedules and curing methods on every slab, walkway, or patio. A contractor who does not plan for that will schedule the work, then fight the heat instead of the plan.
Our Main Dallas Services
Two services account for most of the calls we take from Dallas homeowners: fences and driveways. Both get their own dedicated pages because the local conditions and price structures are specific enough to warrant it.
Fence Installation in Dallas
Clay soil movement and sudden downbursts mean posts need deeper settings and stronger concrete footings than standard. We document every post depth with photos before backfilling. See Fence Installation in Dallas for full pricing and local details.
Driveway & Pavers in Dallas
Blackland clay expands against driveway edges and lifts slabs at the joints. Paver installations on a properly compacted gravel base handle the movement better than monolithic concrete, but the base prep matters more than the paver itself. See Driveway & Pavers in Dallas for the full breakdown.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in Dallas
Most Dallas kitchen remodels in East Dallas, Lakewood, and the M Streets involve a house built between the 1920s and 1960s, which almost always means working around settled floors, old cast iron plumbing, and load-bearing walls that have shifted out of square. The biggest cost driver is the foundation condition: leveling a pier-and-beam kitchen floor before cabinets go in is common here, not rare. Our Kitchen Remodeling process starts with a written scope, then a written price, then a documented photo record on every visit.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Signs you need it
Cabinet doors no longer close square, the floor slopes visibly, and the plumbing under the sink is a patchwork of two or three different pipe generations.
What it costs in Dallas
A full kitchen remodel in Dallas runs $14,000-$45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and how much leveling the original floor demands.
How we do it
We map the existing floor with a laser level, open the walls to inspect framing and drain lines, then build a written scope that includes any structural correction the house needs.
Cabinets & Countertops
Signs you need it
Drawer slides fail, face frames separate, and the existing countertop is laminate or tile that has cracked along the clay-driven settling lines.
What it costs in Dallas
Cabinet installation runs $4,000-$13,000 and countertop installation runs $2,000-$6,500, with Cambria and Caesarstone quartz and KraftMaid cabinetry priced by the linear foot.
How we do it
Cabinet boxes go in level to a shimmed and corrected base, not to the old floor, then the countertop template is measured after the boxes are set so the stone lands on a true surface.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Signs you need it
Tile in older Dallas kitchens has often popped or cracked because the original floor moved underneath it, and the backsplash was installed over drywall that is now wavy from moisture and settlement.
What it costs in Dallas
Backsplash installation runs $800-$2,500, and flooring is priced by material and square footage after the subfloor is measured flat.
How we do it
We install a decoupling membrane over any older wood or concrete base before tile goes down, so the tile moves independently of the shifting subfloor.

| Item | Typical range in Dallas |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen remodel | $14,000-$45,000 |
| Small kitchen remodel | $9,000-$20,000 |
| Cabinet installation | $4,000-$13,000 |
| Countertop installation | $2,000-$6,500 |
| Kitchen island installation | $3,000-$10,000 |
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Dallas?
Most full kitchen remodels in Dallas run 6-10 weeks once materials arrive. Clay-related floor correction or cast iron drain replacement can add 1-2 weeks. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written timeline tied to your specific scope.
Will the price change once work starts?
No, unless you sign a change order. If we open a wall and find rotted framing or a failed drain, we show you the condition, document it with photos, and price the correction in writing before any work proceeds. Call (470) 298-9650 for a free estimate.
Bathroom Remodeling in Dallas
Bathroom remodels in Dallas’s older housing stock almost always uncover two things: cast iron drain lines showing their age, and a floor that is no longer level after decades of clay movement under a pier-and-beam foundation. That is why a Dallas bathroom quote should include a line item for subfloor correction, which can run $700-$2,000 before any tile goes down. Our Bathroom Remodeling work starts with a written scope and written price under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard.
Full Bathroom Remodeling
Signs you need it
The floor flexes or creaks, the toilet sits out of plumb, and the shower tile has cracked along a diagonal line that tracks the floor’s settlement pattern.
What it costs in Dallas
Full bathroom remodeling in Dallas runs $9,000-$28,000, with the spread driven by tile square footage, fixture grade, and whether the drain lines below the floor need replacing.
How we do it
We open the floor to inspect the framing and drain path, correct the subfloor with a leveling compound or structural reinforcement, then install a waterproof membrane system over the corrected surface.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Signs you need it
The shower pan leaks into the floor below, the grout lines stay wet for days, and the drain snaps or the tile has pulled away from the wall.
What it costs in Dallas
Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500-$12,000 and shower replacement runs $3,000-$8,500, with the lower end for prefabricated pans and the upper end for custom tile and glass.
How we do it
We install a bonded waterproof membrane across the shower floor and up the walls, set the drain to correct slope, and document every layer with photos before tile goes on.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Signs you need it
The tub is chipping or stained beyond repair, the surrounding tile is failing, and the homeowner wants aging-in-place access without a tub wall to step over.
What it costs in Dallas
Tub-to-shower conversion in Dallas runs $3,500-$10,000 including demolition, new drain configuration, waterproofing, tile, and glass.
How we do it
We remove the tub, reset the drain to a 2-inch shower line where code requires, frame the curb or install a low-profile pan, and waterproof the whole enclosure before tile.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs in Dallas
| Item | Typical range in Dallas |
|---|---|
| Full bathroom remodel | $9,000-$28,000 |
| Small bathroom remodel | $5,000-$12,000 |
| Walk-in shower installation | $4,500-$12,000 |
| Tub-to-shower conversion | $3,500-$10,000 |
| Bathroom vanity installation | $800-$3,000 |
Do you pull the permits for a bathroom remodel in Dallas?
Yes. Any structural change, drain line replacement, or electrical work requires a Dallas building permit. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and include permit fees in the written price. Call (470) 298-9650 for an exact quote.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Dallas?
A typical full bathroom remodel in Dallas runs 3-5 weeks. Older homes in Oak Cliff or Lakewood that need cast iron drain replacement or significant floor correction may take 6-7 weeks. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written schedule.
Roofing in Dallas
Dallas roofs get hit hard twice: once by hail that cracks shingles and bruises decking, and again by the sun that bakes the clay soil below and forces every fastener to work. A roof that looks fine from the curb may still be leaking at flashing points after a storm, and the original 2000s era three-tab shingles are nearing the end of their life across much of the city. See Roofing for the full process; every job starts with a written price and a documented photo record of what we found.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
You see water stains on the ceiling after a Dallas hail or wind event, shingles in the yard, or flashing pulled away from a chimney or vent pipe.
What it costs in Dallas
Roof repair in Dallas runs $400-$1,800 depending on whether the damage is isolated to a few shingles or requires replacing a section of decking.
How we do it
We photograph the damage, remove the failed material, inspect the decking underneath, and repair flashing with the same products used on full replacements.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
The shingles are curling or losing granules, the roof age is past 15 years for three-tab, and multiple repairs no longer make sense against the replacement price.
What it costs in Dallas
Roof replacement in Dallas runs $8,000-$20,000 depending on the pitch, the number of layers we remove, and whether decking in the valleys shows storm damage.
How we do it
We strip the existing layers to bare decking, inspect every sheet, replace any soft decking, install new underlayment and flashing, and document each layer before the next one goes on.
What Roofing Costs in Dallas
| Item | Typical range in Dallas |
|---|---|
| Roof replacement | $8,000-$20,000 |
| Roof repair | $400-$1,800 |
| Metal roof installation | $15,000-$40,000 |
| Tile roof repair | $600-$2,500 |
Should I file an insurance claim for my Dallas roof?
Most Dallas hail claims are legitimate and worth filing. We document the damage with photos and a written scope, and we will review your adjuster’s line items against ours at no charge before you sign anything. Call (470) 298-9650 for a free second opinion on any written estimate.
How long does a roof replacement take in Dallas?
A standard shingle replacement takes 2-4 days on site, with weather delays in spring storm season. Metal and tile roofs run longer. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written schedule based on your roof’s pitch and material.
Windows & Doors in Dallas
Windows and doors in Dallas take a beating from three directions: hail, heat, and clay. Dual-pane seals fail under repeated 100°F summer cycles, hail pits aluminum frames and cracks laminated glass, and foundation movement racks door frames until they bind or swing shut. Our Windows & Doors work starts with opening the wall to check the opening before any new unit goes in, because a new window in a shifted opening is not a fix.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Condensation between the panes, frames out of square so the sash sticks or gaps at the corners, and rising cooling bills in July and August.
What it costs in Dallas
Window replacement in Dallas runs $4,500-$15,000 for a typical 10-15 window home, with the spread driven by frame material and glass package.
How we do it
We pull the existing window down to the rough opening, correct any framing that has shifted, flash the opening with tape and sealant, and set the new unit level and square.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
You want storm protection beyond plywood, your insurance carrier offers a wind mitigation discount, or you are replacing old glazing after a hail or wind event.
What it costs in Dallas
Impact window installation in Dallas runs $8,000-$25,000 for a full house, with the laminated glass and reinforced frames priced per opening.
How we do it
We install the full system, flash and seal every opening to manufacturer spec, and provide the documentation your insurer requires, including photos at each step.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Dallas
| Item | Typical range in Dallas |
|---|---|
| Impact window installation | $8,000-$25,000 |
| Window replacement | $4,500-$15,000 |
Do Dallas houses need impact windows?
Not by code, but many homeowners in hail-prone corridors of Dallas choose them. The laminated glass stops hail stones that crack standard annealed glass, and some insurance policies discount wind mitigation. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written quote comparing glass packages.
How long does window replacement take in Dallas?
Most whole-house window replacements in Dallas take 2-4 days after materials arrive. Impact systems run longer due to heavier installation. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written schedule.
Home Additions & ADU in Dallas
A home addition in Dallas starts with the soil, not the floor plan. Blackland Prairie clay means a foundation engineer is effectively required on any serious project, and drilled concrete piers running 8-12 feet deep can add $40,000-$70,000 to the foundation budget before the slab is poured. That line item barely exists in Austin or San Antonio, and it surprises owners who relocate here. Our Home Additions & ADU work always includes the engineering, the permits, and the written price before a single pier is drilled.
New Detached ADU
Signs you need it
You want rental income, a multigenerational living space, or a home office that does not share walls, and your Dallas lot is at least 5,000 square feet with rear access.
What it costs in Dallas
ADU construction in Dallas runs $90,000-$220,000, with the foundation piers, utility trenching, and Dallas permitting fees among the largest line items.
How we do it
A foundation engineer tests the soil, we drill piers to the specified depth, then pour a slab on grade after the city inspects the pier layout.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
You have a detached garage that is underused, and the roof, slab, and electrical service are in reasonable condition to support a conversion.
What it costs in Dallas
Garage conversion in Dallas runs $30,000-$80,000 depending on whether the existing slab is suitable, the amount of new plumbing, and whether the roof framing can support insulation and ceiling.
How we do it
We inspect the existing slab for clay movement, open walls to check the framing and electrical, and bring the structure to code as a dwelling unit before any finishes go in.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in Dallas
| Item | Typical range in Dallas |
|---|---|
| Home addition | $45,000-$130,000 |
| ADU construction | $90,000-$220,000 |
| Garage conversion | $30,000-$80,000 |
Do ADUs in Dallas require a special permit?
Yes. Dallas requires building permits, and depending on the lot, zoning clearance or a variance. We handle the paperwork and the engineering. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written estimate that includes permit fees.
Will the price change once the ADU work starts?
Only if the soil report or the opened walls reveal something the written scope did not include, and then only after you sign a change order with the corrected price. Call (470) 298-9650 to review any competitor’s written estimate at no charge.
Brands We Service in Dallas
We install and service ADU systems from Abodu, Cover, Dvele, and Mighty Buildings, along with KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria and Caesarstone countertops, and GAF and Owens Corning roofing.

What pushes a Dallas price up is almost always what is under the surface: pier-and-beam leveling, cast iron drain replacement, storm-damaged decking, or clay movement that requires engineered correction.
