Plano Rd, Dallas · Since 2016
We open walls, move kitchens, rebuild baths and add rooms across Lake Highlands, Richardson and Lakewood. The finish is what you see. The framing is what holds it.
Built heavy
Most of the houses we work on went up between the 1960s and the 1980s. Ranches with a wall in the wrong place. Two-stories with a kitchen that was a closet and a half. The finish carpentry is easy to admire. The part that matters is what carries the roof once that wall is gone.
So we start with the structure. Where the load runs, what the header needs to be, whether the floor is flat and the walls are plumb. Then we frame it right, run the trades, and set the finishes on something that will not move.
We have worked this way out of the Plano Road shop since 2016. Square, level, solid. Then pretty.
How we buildWhat we build most
Whole houses, kitchens and baths. Most weeks the crew is on one of these, and a lot of jobs turn into all three once the walls are open.
01
The big one. We take a house that no longer fits the family and rebuild the plan. Load-bearing walls come out with proper beams and posts sized for the span. Kitchen opens to the living room. Baths, floors, electrical and lighting get redone while everything is open. One schedule, one crew, one house that finally works.

02
Small, closed-off kitchens are the norm in Richardson and Garland ranches. We move the wall, set the header, and build a kitchen with room for an island, real counter space and a range that has somewhere to vent. Plumbing and wiring are rerouted before the cabinets go up, so nothing is working around the old layout.

03
Tired baths get gutted to the studs. We straighten the walls, fix the floor underneath, then build a walk-in shower with a proper slope and a vanity that fits the room. Where there is space, we steal it from a closet or a hallway. Tile goes on a wall that is flat, which is why it stays looking right.

The rest of the house
Additions, garages, patios, exteriors and ground-up homes. Same crew, same order of work, same shop.
04
Another bedroom, a bigger family room or a full second floor, framed to tie into the existing house so it reads as original.
05
A garage turned into a finished suite, or a small backyard unit, with its own kitchen, bath and entry.
06
Covered patios with a cooking line, framed roofs, fans and lighting, built to handle a Dallas summer.
07
Poured and stone patios, walls, walkways and pool decks, set on a base that drains and does not settle.
08
Whole-house window replacement, wider openings with new headers, and big sliding doors to the back yard.
09
New siding, brick or stone accents, trim and a stronger entry that bring an older house up to date from the street.
10
Ground-up homes on your lot, framed and finished by the crew that does our remodels.

How a job runs
A remodel goes wrong when a step gets skipped. We do them in sequence, every time.
Call the shop. We come out, look at the rooms, check how the roof is carried and listen to what is not working. You hear what is realistic before anything is drawn.
We find out what is behind the walls, which ones carry load and what the floor and ceiling lines are doing. Surprises cost the most when they show up late, so we look early.
A drawn layout, a written scope and a number beside each line. You choose materials with us and sign off before anything is ordered.
Demo, then beams, headers and framing first. Plumbing and electrical next, then drywall, tile, cabinets and trim. Each trade goes in when the one before it is done right.
We walk every room with you, check doors swing and lines run true, and fix what is not right. Then the house is yours again, swept and clean.
How the crew works
The framing, the beam sizes and the floor under the tile get our attention first. A beautiful finish on a weak frame is a repair waiting to happen.
If a wall carries more than it looks like, or a slab has moved, you hear it at the walk-through, not in week three. Then we plan around it.
The same people frame, rough in and trim out your house. They know where the beam sits because they set it, and they leave the site cleaner than they found it.
Recent work
Walls out, rooms added, baths rebuilt. All of them a short drive from the shop on Plano Road.
Questions
Still have a question? Call the shop. You talk to the people who frame the house, not a call center.
Yes. It is some of the work we do most. The wall is replaced with a beam sized for the span, carried on posts and footings that reach the foundation. Temporary supports hold the roof while it is done. You get a plan for it before we touch the wall.
It depends on how much of the house is open at once. A kitchen and bath can run a couple of months. A full interior remodel or an addition takes longer, often several months. You get a written schedule before work begins, and we tell you early if anything shifts.
Not for most kitchen or bath jobs. We seal off the work area and keep a path through the house. For a whole-home remodel, where floors, power and water are off for stretches, many families rent somewhere for part of it. We talk it through up front.
Walls that carry more than they appear to, old drain lines, outdated wiring and floors that have settled. None of it is unusual here. We check early and plan the framing around it so it does not turn into a surprise mid-job.
Often, yes. We look at what the existing walls and foundation can support, and what the lot allows. An addition is framed to tie into the old roofline, so from the street it looks like the house was always that size.
Call or send the form. We come out, walk the rooms, look at how the house is built and talk through what you want. A written scope with prices by line follows, usually within about a week. The visit costs nothing.
The shop is on Plano Road, on the Lake Highlands and Richardson line. We work across the east side of Dallas and north into the suburbs. Planning a kitchen, a bath, an addition or a full remodel? Call.
