Several rooms or the whole house under one plan, from moving walls to the last finishes.

Cabinets, counters, islands and lighting; moving the sink or range means new plumbing, gas or electrical lines.

Showers, tubs, vanities and tile, including showers stripped to the studs, waterproofed and retiled.

New rooms tied into the roof, foundation and systems; in Dallas a post-tensioned slab must be engineered.

A separate backyard unit for family or guests, built from the foundation up.
Converting a garage into conditioned living space, which brings in the energy code in Dallas.
Repairs for foundations that settle or shift as the area's clay soil swells and shrinks.
The City of Dallas issues a residential permit for construction, renovation or major repairs on a home, and every application goes through its online DallasNow portal. What the application needs depends on the job:
Dimensioned floor plans showing the existing walls, the walls being removed and the new ones, plus smoke alarm locations and, in a home with gas appliances, carbon monoxide alarms. Work that touches exterior walls also needs a site plan.
Foundation, framing and roof plans with elevations, Green Building and energy compliance forms from registered third-party providers, and a form board survey before the foundation inspection. A second story on a one-story house needs an engineer's letter confirming the foundation and first-floor framing can carry it.
Turning a garage into conditioned living space brings in the energy code, which can mean a certified third-party energy code provider and an Energy Code Compliance Certificate before the first inspection. More on garage conversions in Dallas.
Exterior changes to walls, windows, doors or the roof need a Conservation District Work Review Form, or in a Historic Overlay District a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Landmark Commission, before the building permit.
Two more Dallas rules: the City issues these permits only to a registered contractor (a homeowner doing the work can file a homeowner's exemption), and since June 1, 2026 plumbing and mechanical rough inspections have to be booked together on a single date, as do the final inspections.
Arlington and Grapevine run their own building departments with their own rules: see home remodeling in Arlington and remodeling in Grapevine.
To check a Dallas remodeling contractor before you sign, make sure a contractor registered with the City of Dallas will pull your permit, and get every promise and the payment schedule in a written contract. Texas Attorney General guidance: pay part of the cost before work begins, never the full price, and the final payment only after you inspect the finished work.
Dallas issues remodel permits only to a registered contractor, so ask whose registration your permit will be filed under. If you are asked to file the homeowner's exemption instead, say no: that affidavit, signed in front of City staff, says you do the work yourself with no paid help, and it cannot be used for an addition.
Get written bids from more than one contractor, detailed enough to compare line by line. The Texas Attorney General warns that a bid far below the rest may leave out work you expect or use cheaper labor and materials. On a Dallas job, check that each bid covers the City steps listed above, such as the third-party energy code provider a garage conversion can need or the engineer's letter a second story needs.
In Texas, electricians and air conditioning contractors are licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, plumbers by the State Board of Plumbing Examiners. If your project includes that work, ask who will do it, then check that license and any complaints with the agency.

Everything you were promised, in writing. Before you sign, check that the contract states:
Never sign a contract with blanks in it or while being rushed, and keep a copy of everything you sign.
If the contract can put a lien on your homestead, it must print the warning quoted below in at least 10-point bold type, and a binding arbitration clause in it must also be in 10-point bold or larger, or it cannot be enforced against you (Texas Property Code 41.007).
The Texas Attorney General adds that a notary other than the salesperson must witness your signature on the document that creates the lien.
The Texas Attorney General's guidance sets no normal deposit percentage. It says to expect a partial payment before work begins, never to pay the full price up front, and to make the final payment only after you have inspected the finished work and are satisfied with it.
Tie each later payment to a stage of the job, and check that stage before you pay. Paying the contractor does not end your exposure: if subcontractors or suppliers go unpaid, your property may be subject to a lien for what they are owed.
On a homestead project over $5,000, Texas law requires the contractor to deposit your payments in a construction account at a financial institution, and the bank's statement must call it a "construction account" (Property Code 162.006). Ask for written proof of the account and put your access to its records in the contract.
Sign a certificate of completion only when the work is finished, the site is cleaned up and you are satisfied.
The warning a Texas homestead lien contract must carry (Texas Property Code 41.007):
"IMPORTANT NOTICE: You and your contractor are responsible for meeting the terms and conditions of this contract. If you sign this contract and you fail to meet the terms and conditions of this contract, you may lose your legal ownership rights in your home. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AND DUTIES UNDER THE LAW."
Bring this list to your no-obligation design consultation and ask us every question on it, the payment schedule included: book a consultation with NRG Remodeling.
Two more local facts shape a Dallas remodel: the age of the house and the ground it sits on.
About half of the homes and apartments in the city of Dallas were built before 1980, and the city's median year built is 1980 (US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2019-2023). In a house built before 1978, the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting rule requires anyone paid to disturb painted surfaces to be certified and trained in lead-safe work practices, and the City's current remodel and addition checklists ask for that compliance too. NRG Remodeling is an EPA Lead-Safe certified firm (NAT-F344441-1).
Much of Dallas-Fort Worth sits on the Blackland Prairie, whose clay soils swell when wet and shrink in dry weather; in dry spells the clay cracks deeply, which can damage buildings. On additions, the City of Dallas requires a post-tensioned slab foundation to be engineered, with an engineering letter submitted with the plans. If you are seeing cracks or other signs of movement before a remodel, read the signs of foundation problems in Dallas homes or see foundation repair.
Financing is available through our partners Synchrony, Service Finance and Foundation Finance, and the plans are listed on our services page. Ask about payment options at your design consultation.

It depends on the scope, so NRG Remodeling prices each project from the measurements and the plan made at your design consultation. The main cost drivers are how many rooms change, whether walls, plumbing or wiring move, the materials and finishes you pick, any structural or foundation work, and the permit and energy code steps the City requires for that kind of job.
Yes, if the work is construction, renovation or a major repair: the City of Dallas issues a residential permit for that work, applied for through its DallasNow portal. Additions, garage conversions and exterior work in conservation or historic districts carry extra steps, listed in the permits section above.
Start with three checks: ask whose City of Dallas contractor registration your permit will be filed under, compare detailed written bids from more than one contractor, and check any state trade license with the agency that issues it. Then read the whole contract before signing: no blanks, every promise written in, and payments tied to stages of the work, never the full price up front.
It depends on the size of the job, the City's plan review and inspections, and the materials you choose, so a single number would not be honest. The timing is set with you while the project plan is finalized, before you sign the agreement, so you know the schedule before work starts.
A general contractor runs the whole project, planning the work, scheduling the trades and coordinating inspections, while a trade contractor does one part of it, such as plumbing, electrical or tile. On a remodel with NRG Remodeling, the work runs under NRG's dedicated project management, with the materials, finishes and timing set in the plan before you sign the agreement.
