Home remodeling and repairs in Plano, TX

Plano has the widest spread of home ages in the area. East Plano and the neighborhoods north of 15th Street date to the 1970s and 1980s, West Plano along Preston Road is 1980s and 1990s, and Legacy and the far north are 2000s and newer. Each era has its own remodel checklist.

Older Plano homes often have popcorn ceilings, original cast iron drains and galvanized supply lines. We check for all three before quoting a bathroom or kitchen.

What Plano houses need

• 1970s through 2010s builds, with the oldest stock east of Central Expressway
• Mature trees and settled slab foundations, so cracks and sticking doors are common
• Popcorn ceilings and wallpaper in pre-1990 homes
• Many homes on their second or third owner with layered past remodels

Slab, clay, heat and HOA rules

• Slab. Moving a toilet or shower drain means cutting concrete. We flag any layout change as a site-visit item before you fall in love with a floor plan.
• Clay. Hairline cracks above doors and doors that stick in summer come from seasonal soil movement. We repair them with flexible compound and are honest about recurrence.
• Heat. South and west exteriors take a beating. We spec 100 percent acrylic and check the caulk before any exterior repaint.
• HOA. Fence height, board style, stain and paint color all need approval in most of these subdivisions. We match the covenant and give you what the form needs.
