Argyle Homeowners Expect More. So Do We.

You didn’t end up in Argyle by accident. You chose it for the schools, for the land, and for neighborhoods like Harvest and Canyon Falls that were master-planned with real thought, and Hills of Argyle customs that were drawn one at a time by families who wanted space and permanence. Your home should reflect the same level of care you put into choosing the address.

Argyle has matured into three distinct housing profiles, and each one tells a different remodeling story. First-generation owners in the master-planned neighborhoods are now five to fifteen years in. That is the point where builder-grade finishes begin to feel thin. The established customs along the FM 407 corridor carry era-specific finishes from the 2000-to-2008 window: knotty-alder cabinetry under darkened lacquer, tumbled travertine, garden tubs nobody uses, and warm-toned granite that fights the lighter kitchens everyone is building toward now. The mid-era homes in Country Lakes and older Argyle ISD sections are in the hands of second and third owners planning the next fifteen years in the same house.

At The Design House, we’ve been working with North Texas homeowners for 18+ years, and Argyle is one of our most active markets. Our designers work alongside our craftsmen and project managers from day one, our countertop fabrication runs through Stonemeyer Granite at our Denton fabrication shop, and our plumbing work runs through our sister company Haltex Plumbing, a family-owned licensed plumbing company on our team. One point of contact, one team that actually talks to each other.

Our 10,000 sq ft showroom in Denton is the largest design experience in Denton County. Full-scale kitchen vignettes, material samples, tile displays, cabinet lines, flooring options, all in one place. If you’d rather start the conversation at your home, we can do that too. Either way, you’re backed by a 4.8-star rated team with 151+ Google reviews.

Argyle Master Bath: A 10-Week Spa Transformation

A longtime Argyle homeowner came to us wanting the primary bath to feel fundamentally different: open, airy, a destination rather than a utility. What followed was a 10-week, $90,000+ structural transformation: we vaulted the ceiling to 10 feet using 2-ply LVL beams, installed Stonemeyer Super White 3cm quartz countertops, relocated all drain lines and water supply through Haltex Plumbing, laid Nantes Caliza tile at 23×23 on the floors and 18×47 on the walls with Schluter Kerdi waterproofing, and finished the space with custom Slim Shaker Maple stain-grade floating vanities. The result is a room that reads like a high-end spa, because structurally, that is exactly what it became.

Mandy Miller 3 months ago

As a luxury custom home builder in Argyle, TX, we rely heavily on the reliability and quality of our trade partners. We have worked with The Design House for over a decade, and they are an integral part of our success.
Having a beautiful design center right here in Denton is a massive asset for our clients—it serves as our primary selection center where every detail, from luxury flooring to custom window treatments, is handled under one roof. They provide in-house fabrication through Stonemeyer Granite and dedicated project management to keep our builds on track.
If you are a builder or a homeowner looking for a professional-grade transformation team that controls its own supply chain and labor, there is no better partner in North Texas.

...

Our Client-Focused Remodeling Process

Our process starts with a 30–60 minute on-site consultation. One of our designers comes to your Argyle home, walks the spaces you want to change, takes detailed measurements and photos, and listens. We ask about what is bothering you, what you have been dreaming about, and what your budget looks like. No pressure, no pitch. Just a real conversation about what the project actually involves and what it will take to do it right.

Within a week of your consultation, we present a written proposal that breaks down the scope, materials, labor, and investment for your project. We go line by line. If something does not make sense or needs adjustment, we talk through it. You will know what you are getting into before anything gets signed, including realistic timelines and an honest picture of what disruption looks like during construction. If a wall is load-bearing, we say so and tell you what a beam-and-post solution looks like. If existing plumbing rough-in does not support the layout you want, we tell you what it costs to fix it. No ballpark ranges designed to anchor your expectations and then move upward later.

Once your deposit is paid, we go into the heavy design phase. Our design team builds out the full project plan: material selections, cabinet configurations, layout drawings, and 3D renderings so you can actually visualize the result before demo day. For homes considering wall removals or layout changes, such as opening the kitchen to the formal dining or pulling the butler’s pantry into the prep run, this is where we work through the structural and design implications together. The rendering also lets you see your specific cabinet finish, slab, and tile combination in context before anything is ordered.

When you are confident in the design and scope, we finalize the contract and order materials. Cabinet lead times vary; semi-custom and custom lines can run 6–10 weeks, so this phase is where sequencing and scheduling begin. We handle the permit process for your Argyle municipality, coordinate with the relevant jurisdiction, and get everything lined up before your project start date. The contract documents the timeline, payment schedule, scope, and change-order process. It is a shared reference, not a shield against you.

This is where the work happens. Your dedicated project manager owns the sequence: demo, rough-in plumbing and electrical, cabinet installation, countertop templating and fabrication, tile work, flooring, fixtures, and finishing. Because Stonemeyer Granite and Haltex Plumbing are part of our family of companies, the trades aren’t waiting on each other across different businesses. For trades outside our core scope, such as electrical, framing, drywall, and HVAC on whole-home projects, we partner with licensed specialists we have worked with consistently and who build to our standards. Your project manager is your single point of contact throughout, a real person to call, not a rotating cast of crew members.

Before we close out a project, we do a full walk-through with you. We make a punch list of anything that needs attention, complete it, and then do it again. We do not consider a project done until you are satisfied with every detail. For homeowners who have invested $60K–$150K+ in a full renovation, that accountability matters. It is also why we are on the Good Contractors List with its $25,000 member guarantee, a commitment that is only possible because our process is structured to deliver it.

Full Home Renovations

The custom homes around the FM 407 corridor were drawn one at a time. Ceiling heights vary house to house. Structural approaches vary. Plumbing runs were laid in for layouts specific to each plan. A whole-home remodel in one of those houses, covering kitchen, primary bath, guest baths, and flooring across four to six thousand square feet, is a coordination problem before it is a design problem. Generalists who are comfortable on subdivision scope get caught flat-footed when actual dimensions do not match the drawing or when a kitchen relocation has to thread around an HVAC chase the original builder never documented.

What makes a whole-home renovation feasible on our side is that every major trade reports to one project manager. Countertop fabrication runs in-house through Stonemeyer Granite. Licensed plumbing moves are handled by Haltex Plumbing. Cabinetry, flooring, tile, and design run under the same roof. A whole-home also unlocks efficiencies: combined demolition, shared finish deliveries, one paint scope instead of three. We also handle insurance rebuilds. After a freeze, fire, or storm event, we run the full scope under one project manager and provide the itemized fabrication and plumbing documentation claims require. If you prefer to keep your longtime Argyle custom builder involved, we regularly serve as the design partner and product source while their crew handles install. See our project gallery for full-scope work from across Denton County.

Kitchen Remodeling

The Argyle kitchen problem, in the older customs along the FM 407 corridor, is a finish problem. Heavy knotty-alder cabinetry with lacquer that has darkened to the color of wet bark. Tumbled travertine flowing under the island and through the breakfast nook. Warm-toned granite, such as Uba Tuba, Santa Cecilia, and New Venetian Gold, in high-movement slabs that fought for the eye even in 2003. The kitchen worked when it was new. It is fighting the rest of a house the family has spent fifteen years updating. The single most common scope revision is opening the wall between the kitchen and the formal dining, or pulling the butler’s pantry into the prep run, so the cook is no longer separated from the family.

Our kitchen remodeling work in Argyle covers the full range of what the market demands. Full kitchen renovations in established customs typically run $90,000–$120,000+ where layout changes and structural modifications are involved. New-build homes lifting builder-grade finishes, such as a honed quartzite island swap, a plaster-look hood, custom range alcove, and paneled integrated refrigeration, typically run $60,000–$95,000. Mid-era homes doing a targeted update land $40,000–$80,000. As a Premier Cambria Dealer and Fabricator, the slab you choose in our Denton showroom is templated, cut, and installed at our Stonemeyer Granite shop, with no vendor gap between the cabinetry install and the countertop edge. Financing is available if it makes more sense to spread the investment.

Spa master bath with white natural stone tile and soaker tub

Bathroom Remodeling

The primary bath in an Argyle custom from the 2000-to-2008 window has a specific setup. An oversized garden tub dead-center against the back wall of the suite, tiled on three sides with 12×12 travertine at a forty-five-degree orientation. A compartmentalized double vanity split by a lowered makeup counter nobody has sat at in a decade. A walled-off water closet behind a solid-core door. A separate shower, generous for 2003, with a glass door and the same tile climbing the walls. Total footprint often pushes 300 square feet, and the layout wastes most of it. The upper-end scope is a full reconfiguration: the garden tub comes out, the shower expands into a curbless walk-in wet-room with a linear drain, the vanity is rebuilt as a single long floating run, tile moves to 24×48 large format, and heated floors go under everything.
Our bathroom remodeling in Argyle ranges from $25,000 for a targeted finish refresh, including new counters from Stonemeyer, tile, and fixtures keeping the existing plumbing map, up to $95,000 for a full structural reconfiguration. Mid-scope projects removing the garden tub, expanding the shower, and rebuilding the vanity typically land $45,000–$75,000. All shower valve rough-ins and drain relocations are handled by Haltex Plumbing, coordinated through the same project manager running tile and cabinetry.

Countertops

We fabricate every countertop we install. Stonemeyer Granite, our countertop division at 1230 Fort Worth Drive in Denton, handles templating, cutting, edge work, and installation for every project. That means no third-party fabricator delays, tighter tolerances on seams, and a direct line between the design team’s plans and the stone that goes into your kitchen. The person who measured your cabinet run is the person who makes the seams come out where they should.
The original counters in older Argyle customs typically came out of the warm-toned, high-movement granite window: Uba Tuba, Santa Cecilia, Tropic Brown. The material is fine; the palette is the problem. The current move is Cambria quartz (Brittanicca, Ella, Galloway) and natural quartzite (Taj Mahal, Super White, Calacatta Macaubas), surfaces with character that do not fight the rest of the room. As a Premier Cambria Dealer who has completed Cambria’s specialized fabrication training, and as one of seven Daltile Statements dealers in DFW, we can specify a backsplash that actually coordinates with the countertop you just picked. Our full countertops page for Argyle walks through material comparisons, durability, maintenance, and how different stones read in DFW light.

Closet Renovations

The primary closets in Argyle homes are usually large and almost always underbuilt. A 15×15 walk-in from 2001 with one wire shelf, a single hanging rod, and a lot of wasted vertical space is the most common setup we see. Custom closet renovations are among the most satisfying projects we do because the transformation is immediate and functional every single day.

Our custom closet work starts with how the two of you actually use the space: shoe count, seasonal rotation, the morning sequence, whether there is room for a seat and a drawer bank and a dedicated jewelry zone. From there we build cabinetry that uses every cubic inch. In master-planned neighborhoods, the common pairing is a primary-closet rebuild alongside a proper mudroom off the garage: drawer banks at kid-height, pull-out hampers, a hook system that is designed rather than improvised, and tile on the floor that will take a boot scrape without complaint. In the larger custom homes around Dove Creek Estates and Saddlebrook Estates, the utility room sometimes takes on more, including a built-in dog wash, a dedicated gear drop, and a second fridge nook. We build it as a working space rather than the room you apologize for when guests arrive.

3 Great Eco-Friendly Flooring Options For Your Home

Fireplace Refacing

In Argyle’s early-2000s customs, the fireplace is usually the heaviest design element in the great room, and the most era-locked. Floor-to-ceiling stacked stone in an amber Austin blend. A rough-sawn cedar mantel with a saw-marks finish. A brass surround. A raised, asymmetric hearth wrapping around built-ins on one side and a TV niche sized for a CRT. The whole ground floor is organized around it, and no amount of furniture updates will save a room that is still being led by a 2003 stone stack. On the timber-beam plans common across The Oaks of Argyle and Shadow Wood Estates, a refaced fireplace frequently becomes the single move that resets the entire ground floor.

Fireplace refacing does not touch the firebox or the mechanics. It addresses the surround, hearth, and mantel, which are entirely cosmetic and do not require structural work. The result can be dramatic. A fireplace converted from brass and amber stone to a floor-to-ceiling large-format porcelain surround with a clean custom mantel becomes the room’s focal point in a way it never was before. We carry Daltile’s full range, including the Statements collection, which most showrooms cannot access, along with natural stone options fabricated through Stonemeyer. For Argyle great rooms with an open-concept kitchen in the same sightline, getting the fireplace right matters as much as getting the kitchen right.

Laundry & Utility Room Remodeling

Larger lots ask more of a utility room than a production home does. You come in off a pasture, a workshop, a barn, or a kennel, and the utility room is the airlock between outside and the rest of the house. In most older Argyle customs, it looks like it was designed in five minutes: wire shelving, a basic utility sink, linoleum or bare concrete floors, and a door that is never quite closed all the way. The laundry room is used every single day and looks like the last thing anyone invested in, which is exactly why a well-designed one makes such an immediate difference.

We rebuild laundry and utility rooms as proper working spaces. Upper and lower cabinetry, a countertop folding surface, a utility sink that actually functions, durable tile flooring, and proper lighting. It is the kind of renovation that changes how the room feels to work in rather than just how it looks in a photo. In larger homes around Dove Creek Estates and Harvest, the utility room often takes on additional scope: a built-in dog wash, a second fridge or freezer nook, a drop zone for backpacks and tack, a craft counter tucked into whatever footprint remains. For Argyle ISD households with kids in sports programs, a functional laundry space is a practical upgrade, not a luxury one. We have done full laundry renovations alongside kitchen projects where the rooms share a plumbing wall, which makes sequencing efficient and saves on trade mobilization.

Staircase Remodeling

In a two-story Argyle custom, the staircase is the sightline from the front door. In the older builds, it was almost always finished in heavy oak: honey-stained treads, square oak balusters running close together, a thick oak handrail, sometimes a carpet runner taking the middle out of the wood. That package dates the entire entry regardless of what has happened to the rest of the ground floor. Staircase remodeling is a high-impact change with a well-defined scope, typically one week of work, that changes how the house reads the moment you open the front door.

We replace dated wood spindles with wrought iron balusters, update treads to hardwood that coordinates with the rest of the home’s flooring, add box newel posts at landings, and tighten up the structural integrity of the whole assembly. For Argyle homes where the entry opens to a two-story foyer, the staircase remodel changes the feel of the entire ground floor. Full staircase remodels in Argyle typically run $10,000–$30,000 depending on the scope of baluster replacement, tread material, and whether glass panel infill is part of the design. It is one of the projects that photographs beautifully in listings and registers immediately when buyers walk through the front door.

Argyle’s housing stock falls into three pricing tiers. In the master-planned neighborhoods, first-generation owners lifting builder-grade finishes typically see kitchen projects run $60,000–$95,000 and primary bath refreshes run $25,000–$55,000. In the established customs along FM 407, Crawford Road, Old Justin Road, and Country Club, homes built one at a time from the late 1990s through mid-2000s, full kitchen renovations run $90,000–$120,000 or more when layout changes and structural modifications are involved, and primary baths run $50,000–$95,000 for full reconfigurations. Mid-era homes in Country Lakes and older Argyle ISD sections doing more targeted updates typically land $40,000–$80,000 for kitchens and $25,000–$50,000 for baths. These are real ranges, not estimates designed to get you on a hook. A real number comes after the site visit and a written scope.

The answer is genuinely different depending on which home you have. In the master-planned communities, largely from 2010 onward, the structure is current, the mechanicals are fine, and the conversation is almost entirely about finishes and layout optimization. Builder-grade countertops, standard cabinet packages, and spec tile are the targets, not the bones. These projects run cleaner and faster than older custom remodels. In the established customs from 1995 to 2008, the framing is solid and the layouts are generally well-designed for the era. What you will likely encounter: original mechanicals that are functional but worth evaluating if walls are opening anyway; HVAC systems that may be near end-of-life; and the North Texas foundation movement that is normal for clay soil. Haltex Plumbing handles all our plumbing needs on every Argyle project we run. In Country Lakes and older Argyle ISD sections, second and third owners are frequently planning for the next chapter: a targeted kitchen update, a primary bath that works harder, or aging-in-place modifications that let them stay comfortably as mobility needs evolve.

Most interior remodeling in Argyle, including kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and fireplaces, does not require HOA approval because it does not affect the exterior appearance of your home. Where HOAs do come into play: exterior changes (adding a window, modifying roofline, updating front door or exterior materials), driveway work, and in some cases fence replacements or landscape modifications near the street. Interior work is generally left to the homeowner with proper permitting as necessary. Canyon Falls is a master-planned community spanning multiple municipalities. Some lots fall under Argyle jurisdiction, some under Northlake or Flower Mound, and its HOA governs community standards including green-building guidelines that may apply to visible exterior modifications. Hills of Argyle and the older neighborhoods typically have lighter HOA oversight or none at all, though deed restrictions may apply. We flag all of this during the consultation so you are not caught off guard during permitting. If an HOA architectural review is required, we can provide drawings and documentation to support the application.

Yes, for most substantive remodeling work. The Town of Argyle requires permits for structural modifications (removing or altering walls), electrical upgrades, plumbing changes, and HVAC modifications. Kitchen remodels that involve moving a sink, adding a gas line for a range, or running new circuits all require permits. Bathroom remodels that change plumbing rough-in locations require permits. For properties outside incorporated Argyle, under county jurisdiction, the permitting authority is Denton County, which has its own requirements particularly for well-and-septic properties. The permit process protects you: inspections catch errors before they are covered up by tile and drywall, and unpermitted work creates real problems at resale in a market where buyers’ inspectors are thorough. We handle the permit process on every full turnkey project where we serve as your general contractor. Our plumbing work runs through Haltex Plumbing, which is fully licensed for both municipal and county permitting in Argyle, and electrical work goes through licensed electricians we have worked with consistently. If you’re working with us product-only or hybrid, your contractor pulls the permits for the work they’re performing, and we make sure your scope, drawings, and specifications support whatever they need to file. Do not let any contractor tell you permits are optional for this kind of work in Argyle.

A full kitchen remodel is disruptive. The timeline for a complete kitchen renovation, covering cabinets, countertops, flooring, plumbing, electrical, and backsplash, runs 8–14 weeks from demo to punch list, with cabinet lead time (6–10 weeks for semi-custom or custom lines) being the main variable. During the most active phase, roughly two to five weeks in the middle, your kitchen will be unusable. Most Argyle families set up a temporary kitchen in the garage or laundry room, and many Argyle ISD families time their project start for late May or early June so the most disruptive phase falls during the summer. Primary bathroom remodels are similar: plan for 6–8 weeks with limited access to that bathroom during the tile and plumbing phases. Whole-home renovations covering kitchen, baths, and flooring across a large custom typically run 16–24 weeks. What we can control is the sequencing. Your project manager keeps trades moving in the right order and communicates the schedule clearly, so you are not surprised by a silent week with no activity. We walk through the exact schedule before we start, so you can plan around it.

One project manager coordinates everything. That is not a marketing claim; it is how the business is structured. We handle design, cabinetry (through our cabinet program), countertop fabrication (through Stonemeyer Granite), tile and flooring (including our exclusive Daltile Statements access), and plumbing (through Haltex Plumbing). For electrical work, including recessed lighting updates, under-cabinet circuits, and appliance connections, we work with licensed electricians we have used consistently and who know how our projects are run. You are not managing a group of independent contractors who have never met each other. Everything runs through one project manager who knows the full scope from day one. That coordination structure is part of why our Google reviews look the way they do, and part of why we qualify for the Good Contractors List with its $25,000 guarantee. If you have a longtime Argyle custom builder you want to keep involved in the structural work, we also plug in as the design partner and product source. You get our showroom, our designers, and our fabrication team while your builder handles what you trust them for.

Kitchen and primary bathroom remodels consistently show the strongest return in Argyle’s market, particularly in the $600K–$1.5M+ price band where most established-neighborhood homes now sit. Argyle’s housing values are closely tied to Argyle ISD, which has limited the kind of oversupply that flattens returns in other North Texas submarkets. The projects that photograph best and register most strongly with buyers: kitchen cabinet and countertop replacement, primary bath tile and shower updates, staircase remodeling in two-story entry foyers, and whole-home flooring coordination. Fireplace refacing is a lower-cost project with high visual impact in listing photos. For the customs where the fireplace leads the great room, this is frequently the single move that changes how a home presents. The biggest mistake we see is waiting until 90 days before listing to do the work. You do not get to enjoy it, buyers discount freshly done renovation as cosmetic, and you are making design decisions under time pressure. Remodel it now, enjoy it for a few years, and sell a home that genuinely reflects what Argyle buyers expect. If you are interested in financing to get started sooner, options are available.

Yes. We offer financing options for qualified homeowners that allow you to spread the cost of a remodel over time rather than paying the full amount upfront. This is particularly relevant for full-scope projects in the $60K–$150K range where the investment makes complete sense from a long-term value standpoint but cash flow timing is a consideration. We can walk through financing during your design consultation. It does not change the scope of what we do or how we approach the project; it is just a practical option worth knowing about. Argyle homeowners who have been in their homes since 2015 typically carry meaningful equity positions that also make home equity lines a viable tool; we are happy to provide project documentation and timelines that support that process, though the financial decision is yours to make with your advisor.

Design is part of every full turnkey project. When you choose us for a complete remodel, design support is included at no separate charge.

Walk-ins are always welcome. Stop by our Denton showroom during business hours and one of our design assistants will walk you through products, pricing, sizing, and uses for your space. No appointment needed.

Your initial in-home consultation is always complimentary. A 30 to 60 minute on-site visit with a designer to walk your spaces, take measurements, and talk through what you’re trying to accomplish. No fee, no obligation.

When you’re ready for dedicated, one-on-one time with a designer to plan your project in depth, that’s our design appointment. Design appointments are scheduled in advance and start with a one-hour design fee up front, which reserves your designer’s time and focused attention. That fee can be credited toward qualifying purchases when you move forward with your project.

Honestly, they’re almost two different industries. Harvest homes, built from roughly 2012 onward, are production builds on standard plans. The framing is current, the mechanicals are code-compliant, and the plumbing rough-in is where the drawings say it is. The remodeling conversation is about finishes: trading out builder-grade quartz for a Cambria slab, swapping the stock cabinet package for something with real depth, updating the primary bath tile. Scope is predictable. Timelines are tighter. The FM 407 corridor customs are a different story. Those homes were drawn one at a time by individual builders in the late 1990s through mid-2000s. Ceiling heights weren’t standardized. Structural approaches varied. You can open a wall in a Harvest home and find exactly what the plans show. You open the same wall in a Dove Creek Estates or Hills of Argyle custom and sometimes find a beam the original builder added late, or plumbing that was rerouted during construction. We account for that in how we scope, price, and schedule those projects. Neither one is harder to love. They’re just different to build.

Yes, and we’ve navigated that jurisdictional split many times. Canyon Falls sits across Argyle, Northlake, and in some sections Flower Mound, which means your permitting authority depends on which lot you own. Not all Canyon Falls homeowners know which municipality they fall under, and some find out for the first time when a contractor pulls the wrong permit. We check that during project scoping, before anything gets filed. The HOA layer adds another consideration: Canyon Falls has green-building guidelines that apply to exterior modifications, so any change with an exterior component gets reviewed against those requirements before we put a proposal together. For interior work, kitchens and baths and flooring, the HOA doesn’t come into play. But if you’re adding a window, changing the front door surround, or touching anything visible from the street, we want to know you’re in Canyon Falls before we build the scope. Haltex Plumbing is licensed across all three jurisdictions, so the plumbing permit side is handled regardless of which municipality you’re in.

It absolutely should factor in. The most disruptive phase of a kitchen remodel is roughly two to five weeks in the middle, when the kitchen is down and the house smells like construction. Families with kids in Argyle ISD schools almost always do better starting a kitchen project in late April or early May. That way the demo and rough-in happen near the end of the school year, the most active build phase runs through June and July, and the kitchen is usable again before school resumes in August. Primary bath remodels have a shorter disruption window, four to six weeks of limited access, but the same logic applies. If you’re in a two-bath home and your primary is the only shower, starting during a school break makes the temporary inconvenience more manageable. We walk through scheduling during the proposal phase and help you pick a start date that fits your family’s calendar. Argyle ISD’s academic calendar is one of the first things we ask about for households with school-age kids.

Clay soil is normal here, and seasonal foundation movement is a fact of life across Argyle ISD territory. It doesn’t disqualify a house from remodeling. What it means, practically, is that we look at the foundation’s current condition before we finalize a scope that involves flooring, large-format tile, or opening walls. A floor that’s moving is going to crack grout. A wall that shifts seasonally needs to be understood before we design a kitchen layout around it. Most Argyle homes we see have movement that’s within normal range and doesn’t require remediation before we start. When we do see something that warrants a structural engineer’s eye, we say so before the contract is signed. We’ve worked alongside foundation repair companies on enough Argyle customs to know when a crack is cosmetic and when it’s telling you something. Haltex Plumbing also evaluates supply and drain lines during the plumbing rough-in phase, because foundation movement over two decades can stress older cast iron or galvanized runs in ways that aren’t visible until walls are open.

It depends on whether the wall is load-bearing, and in most Argyle customs from that era, the wall between the kitchen and formal dining is. That doesn’t mean it can’t come out. It means there’s a structural solution: typically a flush or drop beam, sized by an engineer, carried on posts that integrate into the new cabinet layout or get dressed out as columns. We handle the engineering coordination. The permit process requires stamped drawings for any load-bearing wall removal, and Haltex Plumbing evaluates whether any plumbing runs through that wall before demo starts. Electrical is similar. In our experience on FM 407 corridor customs, the kitchen-to-dining wall frequently has a recessed fixture circuit or a vent hood chase running through it. None of that stops the project. It just has to be accounted for in sequencing. The cost of opening a load-bearing wall, including beam fabrication, posts, structural permit, and finish work, typically adds $8,000–$18,000 to a kitchen scope. You get a fundamentally different home in return.

For most Argyle staircases, yes. The typical scope replaces oak balusters with wrought iron, updates treads to hardwood that coordinates with the ground-floor flooring, adds box newel posts at the base and landing, and refinishes or paints risers. That work runs seven to ten business days for a standard two-story entry. It’s one of the more satisfying project timelines we run because the transformation is visible from the front door the moment we finish. Some Argyle customs, particularly the larger plans in Saddlebrook Estates and The Oaks of Argyle with curved or switchback configurations, take longer because curved tread fabrication and custom iron bending add lead time. If glass panel infill is part of the design, that adds a week for templating and fabrication. In a straight two-story foyer with a mid-landing, the full staircase remodel is genuinely a one-week job. We’ll tell you in the proposal if your stair configuration falls outside that window.

Yes, and it’s a growing share of our Argyle work. Country Lakes and several of the older Argyle ISD neighborhoods have second and third owners in their 50s and early 60s who plan to stay in the house for the next twenty years. The modifications that matter most: curbless shower conversions with linear drains (no threshold to step over), grab bar blocking installed behind tile walls so bars can be added later without opening the wall again, single-level lever handles throughout, wider bathroom doorways if the floor plan allows, and improved lighting in hallways and bathrooms. None of this has to look clinical. The curbless wet-room showers we build for aging-in-place clients are the same design-forward ones we build for everyone else; they just have blocking in the walls and a linear drain that a grab bar can anchor to properly later. We also do ramp-grade threshold work between rooms and garage-to-house transition modifications for homeowners who want those in place before they become urgent. This is real planning, not renovation triage.

No. The firebox stays. Refacing addresses everything outside the firebox opening: the surround tile or stone, the hearth surface, and the mantel. Those are entirely cosmetic elements that can be removed and replaced without touching the firebox liner, the gas components, or the chimney. In practice, the old stone or tile comes off the surround framing, new backerboard goes up, and the new material goes on. For older Argyle customs with amber stacked stone and a raised hearth, we’re typically removing that raised platform, flattening the hearth to floor level, and running large-format porcelain or a natural stone slab from the floor up to the ceiling in a single continuous plane. The transition from a dated 2003 fireplace to a floor-to-ceiling Daltile Statements porcelain surround takes about a week of work. The mechanics are straightforward. The impact on the room is significant, especially in the open-concept great rooms common in The Oaks of Argyle and Canyon Falls plans where the fireplace is in the sightline from the kitchen.

Yes, and we handle insurance rebuild scopes regularly. The 2021 freeze event left a specific mark on older Argyle customs, particularly the ones on well or with exposed plumbing runs in uninsulated utility rooms or attic spaces. If you’re working through a claim, we can provide the itemized documentation your adjuster needs: fabrication line items from Stonemeyer Granite, licensed plumbing scope and materials from Haltex Plumbing, and a written project scope that separates the insurance-covered restoration work from any upgrades you’re choosing to add. That distinction matters because adjusters pay for like-for-like restoration, and if you’re upgrading a countertop from standard granite to Cambria quartz, the difference in cost is yours. We run both lines clearly so there’s no confusion at claim settlement. Our project manager coordinates with your adjuster on schedule and documentation. We don’t need you to manage that communication yourself.

It depends on the footprint and how much cabinetry the space takes. In Argyle, primary walk-in closets in homes built from the late 1990s through the 2000s are often 12×14 to 15×16 feet, well-sized but chronically underbuilt. A basic renovation replacing wire shelving with painted MDF cabinetry, adding a center island with drawers, and installing proper lighting typically runs $8,000–$15,000. Mid-range scopes with stain-grade hardwood or painted custom cabinet boxes, pull-out accessories, a built-in seat with storage below, and shoe display sections typically run $15,000–$28,000. High-end primary closet renovations in the larger Saddlebrook Estates and Hills of Argyle customs, where the closet is 200 square feet or more and the homeowner wants furniture-grade cabinetry with glass inserts, integrated lighting, and a center island with quartz top from Stonemeyer, run $28,000–$45,000. Those numbers are real starting points. The site visit and your priorities will refine them.
