Frequently Asked Questions

Urban General Construction offers full-scope remodeling and general contracting services including kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, interior remodeling, structural repair and reinforcement, ADU construction, outdoor living spaces, and commercial renovation. We handle residential and commercial projects throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, managing everything from design through final inspection. Whether you need a focused upgrade or a complete property transformation, we have the crew and the experience to deliver it.

Yes. We are based in Dallas and actively serve all major cities across the DFW Metroplex, including Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Richardson, Garland, Irving, Arlington, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Carrollton, Lewisville, Denton, Flower Mound, Southlake, Grapevine, Colleyville, Mesquite, Duncanville, DeSoto, and more. If you are located within the Metroplex and your city is not listed, call us — we likely serve your area. All estimates are performed on-site, at your property, at no charge.

Costs vary significantly based on scope, materials, and the current condition of the space. In the DFW market, kitchen remodels generally range from $25,000 for a focused refresh to $80,000 or more for a full custom renovation with premium finishes. Bathroom remodels typically range from $8,000 to $35,000 depending on size, layout changes, and finish level. These are market ranges, not quotes — the only accurate number for your project comes from an on-site assessment. We provide detailed, itemized estimates at no charge, so you know exactly what you are paying for and why.

Timeline depends on project size and complexity. A focused bathroom remodel typically takes 2–3 weeks once materials are on-site. A full kitchen renovation runs 4–8 weeks. Larger interior remodels, additions, or ADU construction can take 2–4 months from permit approval to final walkthrough. We provide a project schedule at the start of every job, communicate updates at each phase, and build in buffer time for material lead times and inspections so the projected completion date is realistic — not just optimistic.

Yes. Urban General Construction carries full general contractor licensing and liability insurance in the State of Texas, and we maintain workers' compensation coverage on all crew members. This protects you, your property, and anyone working on your project. Before any project begins, we are happy to provide copies of our license and insurance certificates for your records, your HOA, or your mortgage lender — just ask.

Yes, we manage the full permitting process from application through final sign-off. Most structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work requires permits under Texas building code and local municipal requirements, and skipping them creates serious liability when you eventually sell the property. We pull all required permits, schedule inspections at each phase, and ensure every scope of work is properly documented and approved. You receive copies of all permit documentation at project closeout.

Absolutely. If you have already worked with an architect or interior designer and have drawings ready, we can work directly from those plans. We collaborate with third-party design professionals regularly and are experienced at translating architectural drawings into accurate cost estimates and clean on-site execution. If your plans need any adjustments for buildability, structural soundness, or code compliance, we will flag those issues during the estimate phase and discuss options before you are committed to anything.

Yes. For kitchen and bathroom remodels, we offer 3D design renderings that let you visualize the finished space before a single wall comes down. This is especially valuable for making confident decisions about cabinet layout, countertop materials, tile patterns, and fixture placement — things that are very difficult to reverse once construction is underway. Seeing the finished design in 3D also tends to accelerate decisions and keep the project on schedule. Ask about our design process during your free consultation.

We use a milestone-based payment schedule tied to specific completed phases of work, not a large upfront deposit. A typical structure includes a modest deposit at contract signing to secure your start date and cover initial material orders, followed by progress payments at defined project milestones, with a final payment due upon your approval at project completion. This structure protects you by ensuring payments align with verified progress, and it ensures we are funded appropriately as the project moves forward. The exact schedule is spelled out in your written contract before any work begins.

We take on projects across a wide range of scopes. On the smaller end, targeted updates like a shower replacement, single-room flooring install, or focused kitchen upgrade are well within what we handle efficiently. On the larger end, we regularly manage multi-room renovations, full property flips, ADU construction, and commercial remodels. If you are unsure whether your project is the right fit, call us at 469-630-8700 — we will give you an honest answer. If we are not the right contractor for your specific scope, we will tell you that too.

Getting started is straightforward. Call us at 469-630-8700 or submit a request through our contact form and we will follow up within one business day to schedule a free on-site consultation. During that visit, we walk through the space with you, discuss your goals, approximate budget range, and desired timeline, and take detailed measurements. Within a few days of the visit, we provide a written, itemized estimate. There is no charge for the estimate and no obligation to proceed — it is simply the right way to start a project.

The straightforward answer: we compete on trust, transparency, and results — not on being the lowest bid. We have over 20 years of active work in this specific market, we use in-house crews rather than rotating subcontractors, and we operate on a transparent pricing model with no surprise change orders or hidden fees. We stand behind the work after the project closes. Our best clients come back to us for their next project, and the one after that, because the experience of working with us was worth repeating. We are not the cheapest contractor in DFW, and we do not try to be — but we are the contractor who shows up when we say we will, does what the contract says, and picks up the phone when you call.
