Whole-home renovation in Dallas, held to one standard

For homeowners in Highland Park, Preston Hollow, University Park, Frisco, Plano, Southlake, and Flower Mound who want the entire house resolved rather than one room at a time. One studio, one fixed written scope, one crew — kitchens, baths, flooring, millwork, and paint sequenced so the finished house reads as a single piece of work.

Philosophy

A house renovated in pieces never quite comes together

Rooms renovated years apart carry different casings, different paint sheens, different floor heights at the thresholds. Individually each project may have been done well; together they read as a series of compromises, and the corrections are usually more expensive than doing the work once.

A whole-home renovation lets us set one detail language for the entire house — trim profiles, reveal lines, hardware, stone, flooring runs — then sequence the trades so the house is opened, rebuilt, and finished in a deliberate order rather than whenever a crew becomes available.

What a whole-home project includes

01

Whole-Home Planning

We start with the house rather than the room: how you move from the front door to the kitchen, where light lands in the afternoon, which walls are carrying load, and which rooms are quietly failing. The result is one plan and one sequence for the entire renovation instead of four separate projects competing for the same hallway.

02

Structural & Layout Changes

Opening a kitchen into a great room, widening passages, raising a ceiling, reworking a primary suite, or converting underused space into a study or mudroom. Structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical coordination happens in house before demolition begins.

03

Kitchens, Baths & Millwork

Custom cabinetry, stone, tile, built-ins, and trim carried through the whole house so casings, reveals, and finishes match from room to room — the detail that separates a renovated home from a house with several renovated rooms.

04

Flooring, Paint & Finishes

Continuous flooring runs, refinished stair treads, sprayed millwork, and a paint schedule drawn for the entire home. Working in one pass avoids the mismatched sheens and transition strips left behind by staged, year-apart projects.

Why homeowners choose us

One studio accountable for the entire house

A whole-home renovation involves every trade in the building, and the risk is almost never a single trade doing poor work — it is the handoffs between them. We keep the craft in house and run one project at a time, so the same people who set your cabinetry are the ones fitting the trim around it.

Your scope of work is fixed and signed before demolition, covering every room, so the price does not move unless you ask for something new. You receive a phased schedule with milestone dates, and each evening the site is swept, tools are staged, and the house is handed back to you.

Founded in 2015 by Murillo, the studio has completed more than 200 projects across Dallas. He still walks every job personally, which is the simplest reason our finish work looks the way it does years after handover.

Process

How a whole-home renovation runs

01

Consultation

We walk the whole house with you, room by room, and speak honestly about scope, sequence, and what the work is likely to cost.

02

Design & Selections

Plans, elevations, cabinetry specifications, and finish selections for every room, followed by a single written fixed scope.

03

Build

Our own craftspeople, one project at a time, in a phased sequence with milestone dates and a clean site each evening.

04

Walkthrough & Warranty

We review every room with you, correct anything that needs it, and hand over a written workmanship warranty.

Timelines & what a renovation asks of you

What to expect while the work is underway

A whole-home renovation is a long project and we would rather say so plainly at the outset. Design and selections generally occupy eight to twelve weeks, long enough to resolve plans, elevations, cabinetry, stone, flooring, and lighting for every room before anything is ordered. Construction commonly runs four to nine months depending on square footage, how much structure moves, and lead times on custom millwork and appliances.

Sequencing the house

We phase the work so the house is not opened everywhere at once. Structure, mechanical, and rough trades run first, then cabinetry and stone, then flooring, then paint and finish carpentry, with the rooms you rely on most released back to you as early in the schedule as the sequence allows.

Permits and architectural review

Where the work touches structure, gas, plumbing, or electrical service, it is permitted — and we handle that quietly on your behalf with the City of Dallas and the surrounding municipalities. In Highland Park, University Park, Preston Hollow, and comparable communities, we prepare and submit architectural review packages ourselves, having done so often enough to know what each board expects to see.

Living in the house

Some clients stay through a whole-home project and some move out for the heaviest phases; we will tell you honestly which we would recommend for your scope. If you remain, dust is contained at the active work area, flooring and pathways are protected from the front door inward, materials are staged outside your living space, and where it helps we set up a temporary kitchen so ordinary life continues around the project.

Investment, in writing

Rather than a number that drifts, you receive a fixed scope of work covering every room, documented and signed before demolition. Changes happen only when you ask for them, and they are priced before the work is done.
