Whole-Home Renovation in Colleyville, TX

Coordinated whole-home renovations for Colleyville homeowners — Estates of Bransford, Creekside Estates, Whittier Heights. Multi-room reworks under a single construction contract. Chad partners with your interior designer. $725K-$1.8M typical scope, 10-14 months first-call-to-keys.

A whole-home renovation in Colleyville reworks two or more major rooms — typically the kitchen, all bathrooms, the primary suite, and one or more living spaces — as a single coordinated project. Most Colleyville whole-homes we complete involve 3,500-7,500 square feet of active scope, run 10-14 months from first consultation to keys, and land in the $725,000 to $1,800,000 range.

Whole-home renovations for Colleyville, one accountable team.

Colleyville sits between Southlake’s polish and Grapevine’s warmth — a market of 1990s-2010s custom homes on generous lots, well-built with good bones. Most whole-home renovations we’re brought into here follow the same pattern: the owners love the location, the lot, and the architecture, but the interiors haven’t been touched in fifteen years and the systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) are hitting their replacement window at the same time the design vocabulary needs a refresh.

A whole-home renovation is our chance to solve it all at once. One design phase coordinated with your interior designer. One construction phase under Chad. One schedule under Nancy. One master contract instead of five serial remodels over five years. The math works — coordinated whole-home construction runs 12-22% less than serial remodels, and it produces a home that reads as one designed thing rather than five disconnected projects.

Three patterns we see most in Colleyville whole-homes.

The “right bones, dated interiors” project.

Common in 2000-2010 Estates of Bransford builds. Right bones — well-detailed exterior architecture, generous room sizes, quality original construction. Dated interiors — walled-off kitchens, corner-whirlpool primary baths, knotty-oak floors, Tuscan-heavy millwork. The renovation opens the floor plan, refines the primary suite, replaces finishes throughout, updates lighting design. Budget: $725,000-$1,200,000. Timeline: 10-12 months.

The “we love the house, we’re staying forever” project.

Larger scope. Kitchen, primary suite (bath + closet + bedroom), every secondary bath, laundry/mudroom, often coordinated outdoor living. Spa-grade finishes throughout. Budget: $1,100,000-$1,800,000. Timeline: 12-14 months.

The “addition + renovation combined” project.

When the existing footprint can’t accommodate the vision, we combine an addition (primary suite addition, second-story, or casita) with a renovation of the existing rooms. Budget: $1,500,000-$3,000,000. Timeline: 14-20 months.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a 'whole-home' renovation in Colleyville?
We use 'whole-home' when the scope touches three or more major rooms PLUS at least one structural or systems change (load-bearing wall removal, MEP rework, foundation modifications). Touching kitchen + primary bath + a single living-room refresh stays in the 'large remodel' bucket; touching kitchen + all baths + primary suite + reworked floor plan crosses into whole-home. The contract is structurally different — one master contract with phased scope, one master schedule, one set of permits, one closeout.
What does a whole-home renovation cost in Colleyville?
Most Colleyville whole-home projects we complete land in the $725,000 to $1,800,000 range. The variation depends on home size (most are 3,500-7,500 sq ft of touched scope), structural work needed, and finish level. Estates of Bransford homes skew larger and toward the upper end; Whittier Heights homes are often smaller-footprint but higher finish spec.
How long does a Colleyville whole-home renovation take?
Typical timeline: 10-14 months first-call-to-keys. Active construction is 6-10 months. The 4 months before construction cover design coordination with your interior designer (12-16 weeks for a whole-home), City of Colleyville permits, HOA architectural review where applicable (Estates of Bransford), and material lead times — primarily custom cabinetry (10-14 weeks) and natural stone slabs (4-6 weeks).
Can we live in the house during a Colleyville whole-home?
For most whole-home renovations, we recommend moving out for the structural-work phase (typically the middle 8-12 weeks). Colleyville homes on generous lots are large enough that phased construction is possible — one wing under construction while the other wing remains habitable — but most clients prefer the speed of an unphased build. We help arrange short-term housing through our network of local rental relationships.
Do you handle Colleyville HOA architectural review?
For Estates of Bransford and certain Creekside Estates streets — yes. The submission package is part of the contract: we draft the application, attach renderings, coordinate ARB feedback. Typical review cycle: 4-6 weeks. Whole-home projects with exterior changes almost always trigger ARB review; interior-only projects almost never do. City of Colleyville permits are required regardless.
What Colleyville neighborhoods do you work in?
Our core Colleyville work is concentrated in [Estates of Bransford](/locations/colleyville/estates-of-bransford/), [Whittier Heights](/locations/colleyville/whittier-heights/), Creekside Estates, and adjacent luxury pockets. Each has distinct build vintage and architectural expectation.
