Whole-Home Renovation Contractor in Weatherford, TX
Most of our renovation clients have been through a contractor-grade remodel once and never want to do it again. We run renovations with plans, permits, schedules, and warranties - same as a new build.
Renovation work treated like new construction.
A new home starts with a clean plan. A renovation starts with thirty years of someone else's decisions hidden inside the walls - some good, most fine, a few outright dangerous. The job is to fix what's broken, keep what works, and integrate the new without breaking the old. It takes more skill, not less, than a new build.
We run every renovation with full architectural plans before demolition, structural engineering where needed, permits and inspections at every milestone, and daily oversight from Dan. We focus on whole-home renovations and major additions - not cosmetic remodels.
A complete plan set, structural engineering where needed, permits pulled, and inspections completed.
We open things up early and tell you what's there before new finishes go in.
Conservative timelines, communicated honestly - most clients are surprised we finish on schedule.
The same 1-year workmanship and 10-year structural warranty as a new build.
