AfterConstruction in Irving, TX
Kitchen remodeling in Irving typically runs $14,000-$45,000, with smaller projects starting near $9,000. What makes Irving work different from nearby suburbs is the soil: most older homes in North Irving sit on expansive Blackland Prairie clay, which shifts seasonally and affects everything from cabinet reveals to foundation-adjacent framing. Call (470) 298-9650 to get a written price before anyone picks up a tool.
Why Irving Homes Are Different
Irving’s older housing stock is dominated by 1950s-1970s ranch-style, slab-on-grade homes around North Irving and Story Road. These homes sit directly on montmorillonite clay that shrinks during dry summers and swells after wet winters, producing measurable slab movement year over year. When we open a wall in one of these houses, we routinely find racked door frames, cracked masonry veneer, and cabinet runs that have drifted a quarter inch out of level. A kitchen remodel or room addition here is not a cosmetic project; it is a structural one, and a competent contractor accounts for soil movement before the first permit is pulled.
Valley Ranch, built in the 1980s, presents a different set of conditions: two-story wood-frame construction with aging rooflines and exterior envelopes that now face replacement cycles. Irving is also the corporate construction capital of the DFW Metroplex, anchored by the Las Colinas Urban Center, which means local crews are held to commercial-grade documentation standards that carry over into residential work. The practical result is that a contractor writing a quote for an Irving home has to account for clay soils, original 60-year-old framing, or a 40-year-old building envelope, sometimes in the same week.
Our Main Irving Services
Homeowners in Irving call us most often about two exterior projects: fence installation and driveway and paver work. Both sit directly on the clay and must be built to move with it.
Fence Installation in Irving
Irving’s clay soil expands and contracts enough to heave shallow-set fence posts out of plumb within a few seasons. We set posts below the active soil zone and backfill with materials that resist the swell-shrink cycle, which is the single most important specification for a fence in this part of the Metroplex. Wood, vinyl, and aluminum all work here, but the post depth and concrete collar design change the outcome. For full pricing and details, see our Fence Installation in Irving page.
Driveway & Pavers in Irving
Concrete slabs and paver driveways in Irving fail most often from poor subgrade preparation, not from the surface material itself. We over-excavate and install a compacted aggregate base that distributes the clay’s seasonal movement, which extends the life of a paver driveway by years. Concrete driveways here typically run $4,500-$12,000; paver driveways run $7,000-$18,000. Details are on our Driveway & Pavers in Irving page.

BeforeAfterKitchen Remodeling in Irving
A full kitchen remodel in Irving runs $14,000-$45,000, and the practical scope in most North Irving ranch homes includes correcting framing and leveling issues that newer construction never has to address. Because the original slab has typically moved over six or seven decades, cabinet installation and countertop templating here require a working knowledge of expansive clay behavior. Our crew documents the substrate condition in writing and with photos before any finish material goes in. Grant Rowan founded the company in 2007 on that exact discipline: a written price and a written scope before work starts. For a deeper look at our process, see our Kitchen Remodeling page.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Signs you need it
Doors no longer close square, cabinet fronts show gaps that weren’t there five years ago, and appliance cutouts no longer fit standard dimensions.
What it costs in Irving
A full kitchen remodel in Irving runs $14,000-$45,000 depending on cabinetry grade, countertop material, and whether the floor plan shifts.
How we do it
We assess slab movement first, then demo to the framing, correct out-of-level walls, and rebuild with documented daily photo records.
Cabinets & Countertops
Signs you need it
Drawer slides bind, doors scrape the face frame, or the counter has delaminated at a seam.
What it costs in Irving
Cabinet installation runs $4,000-$13,000; countertop installation runs $2,000-$6,500, with Cambria and Caesarstone priced per slab.
How we do it
We measure with a laser, template after base cabinets are set and shimmed level, then install the counter and backsplash in two visits.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Irving
| Item | Typical range in Irving |
|---|---|
| Full kitchen remodel | $14,000-$45,000 |
| Small kitchen remodel | $9,000-$20,000 |
| Cabinet installation | $4,000-$13,000 |
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Irving?
A full kitchen remodel in Irving takes 6-10 weeks, with cabinet lead time driving most of the schedule. Clay-soil leveling work added to the scope can add a week up front. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written timeline.
Will a kitchen remodel in Irving require a foundation check?
Not always, but in North Irving ranch homes we often recommend a foundation assessment if door frames are racked or the slab shows signs of differential movement. It’s a $600-$1,000 evaluation that informs the cabinet and floor plan. Estimates are free; call (470) 298-9650.
Bathroom Remodeling in Irving
Bathroom remodeling in Irving runs $9,000-$28,000 for a full gut-and-rebuild, with small bathrooms starting around $5,000. The recurring issue in North Irving’s 1950s-1970s homes is moisture trapped behind original tile over a shifting slab, which cracks grout lines and lets water reach the mud bed. We replace the waterproof membrane as a matter of course. For a complete overview of our process, see our Bathroom Remodeling page.
Walk-In Showers & Shower Remodeling
Signs you need it
Grout lines crack repeatedly in the same pattern, the shower pan holds water, or you smell mildew that returns after every cleaning.
What it costs in Irving
Walk-in shower installation runs $4,500-$12,000; shower replacement runs $3,000-$8,500.
How we do it
We remove the old pan and tile, inspect the subfloor for damage from slab movement, then install a bonded waterproof membrane before any tile goes up.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
Signs you need it
The tub surround leaks at the corners, the tub itself is cracked or stained, and the space is used for showers only.
What it costs in Irving
Tub-to-shower conversion in Irving runs $3,500-$10,000, with the low end for a simple acrylic retrofit.
How we do it
We pull the tub, run the new drain to code, install cement board and a full waterproof membrane, then tile or set a solid-surface surround.
What Bathroom Remodeling Costs in Irving
| Item | Typical range in Irving |
|---|---|
| Full bathroom remodel | $9,000-$28,000 |
| Small bathroom remodel | $5,000-$12,000 |
| Walk-in shower | $4,500-$12,000 |
Can you remodel a bathroom on an Irving slab without moving plumbing?
Yes, in most North Irving ranch homes the plumbing runs through the slab and can stay in place for a like-for-like remodel. Moving a drain line requires cutting the slab, which is permitted and adds cost. Call (470) 298-9650 for an exact price.
What does a tile bathroom cost in Irving?
A tile bathroom with full waterproofing runs $12,000-$28,000 in Irving depending on tile grade, size, and the condition of the existing subfloor and framing. Written line-item quotes are standard. Estimates are free; call (470) 298-9650.
Roofing in Irving
Roof replacement in Irving runs $8,000-$20,000, and the deciding factor is often the home’s era: 1960s ranch homes with original masonry veneer need different flashing details than 1980s Valley Ranch two-story frames. Irving sits in a hail corridor, and after a storm we routinely find shingle damage that a homeowner can’t see from the ground. Our Roofing page details the full replacement process, but the short version is a documented inspection with photos before we write any number.
Roof Repair
Signs you need it
You see granules in the gutters, a ceiling stain appears after heavy rain, or a roofer’s report from the last storm flagged lifted shingles.
What it costs in Irving
Roof repair in Irving runs $400-$1,800, with most hail or wind repairs landing under $1,000 if the decking is sound.
How we do it
We photograph the damage, identify the layer count and deck condition, then repair the affected area with matching shingle and proper underlayment.
Roof Replacement & Installation
Signs you need it
The roof is over 20 years old, shingles are curling or missing in patches, and you plan to stay in the home more than three years.
What it costs in Irving
Full roof replacement in Irving runs $8,000-$20,000 for architectural shingles, with GAF and Owens Corning as our most common specifications.
How we do it
We strip to the deck, replace any deteriorated sheathing, install synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield at critical penetrations, then nail per manufacturer’s wind rating.
What Roofing Costs in Irving
| Item | Typical range in Irving |
|---|---|
| Roof replacement | $8,000-$20,000 |
| Roof repair | $400-$1,800 |
| Metal roof installation | $15,000-$40,000 |
Does Irving get enough hail to justify an impact-rated roof?
Irving is in the DFW hail belt, and severe storms hit often enough that many homeowners upgrade to Class 4 impact-rated shingles. The upgrade typically adds 15-25% to a replacement. Call (470) 298-9650 for a written comparison.
Will my insurance cover a roof replacement in Irving?
Most Irving homeowner policies cover storm-related replacement, minus your deductible. We document all damage with a photo record and meet your adjuster on site. A free roof inspection is the first step; call (470) 298-9650.
Windows & Doors in Irving
Window replacement in Irving runs $4,500-$15,000, and the clay-soil factor shows up here as frame racking that makes a standard-size replacement unit not fit the opening. On North Irving ranch homes, we frequently install custom-sized windows because the original rough openings are no longer square after 60 years of slab movement. Our Windows & Doors page covers the full lineup; the important local note is that a good install starts with measuring the opening, not trusting the old unit’s dimensions.
Window Replacement
Signs you need it
Windows fog between panes, sashes stick or won’t stay open, and you feel drafts in winter or heat gain in August.
What it costs in Irving
Window replacement in Irving runs $4,500-$15,000 for a typical 8-12 window home, depending on frame material and glass package.
How we do it
We measure each rough opening individually, order units sized to the actual frame, then install with new flashing and sealing at the head, sill, and jambs.
Impact Windows & Doors
Signs you need it
You live on a street with mature trees, your home is south- or west-facing into spring storm season, or you want the hail and wind protection an impact rating provides.
What it costs in Irving
Impact window installation in Irving runs $8,000-$25,000, with the premium over standard units running 40-70%.
How we do it
We verify the structural opening, install the impact-rated frame and laminated glass unit, then seal and flash to prevent water intrusion at the rough opening.
What Windows & Doors Costs in Irving
| Item | Typical range in Irving |
|---|---|
| Window replacement | $4,500-$15,000 |
| Impact window installation | $8,000-$25,000 |
| Door installation (standard) | $1,500-$4,000 |
Do new windows in Irving need a permit?
Most like-for-like window replacements in Irving don’t require a separate permit, but enlarging an opening or adding a new door does. We pull all required permits and pass the inspections. Call (470) 298-9650 to confirm your scope.
Can you replace windows on a 1960s Irving ranch without reframing?
Often yes. We can install replacement units into existing frames if the frames are structurally sound and still reasonably square, which keeps the job faster and less invasive. A free measurement visit settles it; call (470) 298-9650.
Home Additions & ADU in Irving
A home addition in Irving runs $45,000-$130,000, and an ADU runs $90,000-$220,000. On North Irving’s clay, the first deliverable is a soils report, because the foundation design for any new square footage depends on the pier depth and slab specification the engineer calculates from that one document. Skip it and the new addition can move independently of the original slab, opening a structural seam that no finish material will hide. Our Home Additions & ADU page explains the full design and build sequence.
ADU Design & Permitting
Signs you need it
Your lot is zoned for an accessory dwelling unit, you have a backyard large enough to build, and you want a tenant or family member on the property.
What it costs in Irving
ADU design, engineering, and permitting in Irving runs $10,000-$25,000 before construction, depending on size and soils complexity.
How we do it
We pull the soils report, hire the structural engineer, file the permit set with the City of Irving, and present a written construction price before any foundation work begins.
Garage Conversion ADU
Signs you need it
You have an attached or detached garage that is underused, and the slab is in good enough condition to build on.
What it costs in Irving
Garage conversion in Irving runs $30,000-$80,000, with the spread driven by plumbing distances, electrical service upgrades, and finish level.
How we do it
We assess the existing slab and framing, evaluate the sewer and electrical capacity, then convert the space to a conditioned, insulated dwelling unit with its own entry.
What Home Additions & ADU Costs in Irving
| Item | Typical range in Irving |
|---|---|
| Home addition | $45,000-$130,000 |
| ADU construction | $90,000-$220,000 |
| Garage conversion | $30,000-$80,000 |
Will a home addition in Irving trigger a foundation assessment on the existing house?
Often yes. On North Irving’s expansive clay, the city and our engineers typically require a foundation inspection on the existing structure before approving new attached square footage. Call (470) 298-9650 for a free site assessment.
Can you build an ADU in Valley Ranch?
Some Valley Ranch lots qualify for ADU construction under Irving’s zoning rules, but HOA restrictions often add a layer of review. We verify both the city and HOA requirements before design starts. Call (470) 298-9650 to start.
