ServicesWhole Home Remodeling
Whole Home Remodeling in Hickory Creek
If floors, walls and trim are tired in more than one room, we treat the house as a single project. We explain how each flooring, wall and trim option wears over time, then schedule the rooms so your home stays livable while we work.
One plan instead of five small jobs
A whole home remodel makes sense when the same problems show up in room after room. Worn floors that change at every doorway. Dated trim. Walls patched so many times they never look right. Fixing one room at a time often means mismatched materials and paying for setup again and again.
We look at the whole house first. Then we help you pick materials that work across every room, not just the one you are standing in. Flooring is the big one. A single floor running through the main living areas makes a house feel bigger, but it has to suit wet spots and high-traffic halls too.
We also do kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling on their own. If those rooms are part of the bigger plan, we fold them into the same schedule.
What the work covers
- Flooring throughout
- We install luxury vinyl plank, engineered hardwood and porcelain tile. Vinyl plank shrugs off water and pets. Engineered wood handles temperature swings better than solid wood. Tile lasts the longest but is cold and hard underfoot, so we usually suggest it for entries, laundry rooms and baths.
- Walls and drywall repair
- We fix cracked seams, replace damaged sections and re-texture so patches disappear. On older walls we check for movement before we close anything up.
- Trim, doors and paint
- New baseboards, casing and interior doors tie the rooms together. We explain the trade-off between MDF trim, which is smooth and affordable, and wood, which takes dents better in busy areas.
- Layout changes
- Opening a wall between rooms or moving a doorway is often part of the job. We check whether a wall carries load before anyone touches it.
- Bathroom and kitchen updates
- If your plan includes these rooms, we handle the work alongside everything else so the floors and finishes match.
Signs it is time to look at the whole house
Three or four floor types
Carpet, old tile and laminate all meeting in one hallway is a common sign the house was updated piece by piece.
Cracks that keep coming back
In this area the clay soil swells when wet and shrinks in drought. That moves the house, and drywall and tile crack with it. We pick products and joints that give a little.
Rooms that do not fit how you live
A closed-off dining room you never use, or a hallway that wastes space.
You are planning to stay
If you will be in your home for years, doing it once and doing it together usually costs less than piecemeal updates.
What drives the cost
No two houses match, so we set a price only after seeing yours. Your quote breaks out every room and material, so nothing pops up later. Below are the biggest factors in the total.
Square footage
Bigger rooms and more floor area call for more flooring, more drywall and more labor hours. Carrying one floor through the house can cut waste and transition pieces.
Material picks
Porcelain tile and engineered hardwood are pricier to buy and put in than vinyl plank. We lay the trade-off out next to each other.
What we find underneath
Fixing uneven slabs, water damage or leftover flooring glue takes extra time. Before we repair it, you see photos of what turned up.
Walls and layout
Relocating or taking out walls, load-bearing ones most of all, means more framing and possibly a permit.
How a whole home job runs
- 1
Walk-through and quote
We come out, walk every room with you and talk through what you want. You get a written quote broken out by room and by product, so you can see where the money goes.
- 2
Material choices
We bring samples and explain how each one holds up to kids, pets, water and sun. You pick, and we lock in quantities before work starts.
- 3
Room-by-room schedule
We set an order that keeps a bathroom and a place to sleep usable as long as possible. Dust barriers go up and floors we are not touching get covered.
- 4
Build and clean up
Demo, repairs, flooring, trim, then paint. We clean up at the end of each day so you are not living in a work site.
- 5
Final walk-through
We go room by room with you and fix anything on the list before we call it done.
Questions about remodeling the whole house
Can we keep living at home during the work?
Most families stay. We sequence the work so a bathroom and a bedroom stay usable, and we close off the rooms we are working in. A few households move out for a couple of days, such as when the main hallway floors are going in.
What flooring suits a whole house best?
Luxury vinyl plank is our usual suggestion. It stands up to spills, pets and the slab shifting we see around here, and it can carry on into kitchens and baths. For real wood on a slab, engineered hardwood beats solid wood.
Is whole home work under warranty?
It is. Our 1-year warranty covers whole home projects. If anything we put in causes problems in that first year, call us and we will send someone to look at it and make it right.
How much time does a whole home remodel take?
That comes down to the number of rooms and the amount of change. Floors and paint move quicker than relocating walls. Your quote includes a schedule so you can plan.
Do you take jobs beyond Hickory Creek?
We do, in nearby towns such as Lake Dallas, Corinth, Highland Village and Flower Mound. See our Service Areas page for every town.
