Pricing & Cost FAQs
A full kitchen remodel in Dallas typically runs $45,000 to $95,000, with most mid-range projects landing between $55,000 and $70,000. The spread comes down to cabinet grade, countertop material, whether you move plumbing or gas lines, and appliance allowances. In neighborhoods like Lakewood and University Park, we see more custom cabinetry and stone work, which pushes costs toward the upper end. Every project we quote gets a written price before any work starts, so there's no guessing once the job begins. Call (903) 326-8963 for a free estimate on your specific kitchen.
A standard bathroom remodel in Dallas usually costs $18,000 to $38,000. A guest bath with a tub-shower combo, new vanity, and tile floor sits near the lower end, while a primary bath with a walk-in shower, freestanding tub, and custom tile work lands higher. Homes in Garland and Duncanville tend to have smaller footprints, which keeps material costs down compared to larger primary suites in Sunnyvale or University Park. We put the full price in writing before we start, and it doesn't move unless you change the scope. Call (903) 326-8963 to schedule a free estimate.
Room additions in Dallas generally run $60,000 to $140,000 depending on square footage, foundation work, and whether the addition includes plumbing or electrical. The clay soil across Dallas and Farmers Branch means pier-and-beam or slab work often needs extra attention, which honest builders account for up front. A simple bedroom bump-out costs less than a full primary suite addition with a bath. We give you a written line-item price before any work starts, so you'll know exactly where the money goes. Call (903) 326-8963 for exact numbers on your addition.
A whole-home remodel in Dallas can run anywhere from $120,000 to $300,000 or more, depending on square footage, the home's age, and how much mechanical work is needed. Older homes in Lakewood and Cockrell Hill often hide outdated wiring and cast-iron plumbing, and those discoveries affect the final number. We look for those issues during estimating, not after demo starts. You'll get a written price, by the book, before we ever pick up a hammer. Call (903) 326-8963 to talk through your remodel and get a free estimate.
Not unless you change the scope. Bradford Remodeling Co Dallas follows The Garrison Code, which means the price goes in writing before any work starts. If we open a wall and find something unexpected, we stop and show you what we found, explain the options, and get your approval in writing before spending another dollar. The only reasons a price moves are things you ask us to add or conditions no one could have seen before demo. Call (903) 326-8963 to get a written estimate that won't drift on you.
Service & Process FAQs
It starts with a phone call to (903) 326-8963. We schedule a site visit, walk the space with you, and talk about what you want. Then we put together a written estimate with line-item pricing. Once you approve it, we set a start date and give you a window for when we'll arrive. During the job, we keep the site clean and communicate what's happening each day. At the end, we walk the finished work with you and make sure everything is squared away. The full year warranty is in writing from day one.
Most kitchen remodels in Dallas take 6 to 10 weeks from demo to final walk-through. Custom cabinetry adds time because it's built to order, and moving plumbing or gas lines extends the rough-in phase. Homes in older Dallas neighborhoods like Lakewood sometimes bring surprises once walls open up, which is normal. We set a schedule at the beginning and keep you informed if anything shifts. What we don't do is disappear for a week with no word. Call (903) 326-8963 to talk about timing on your project.
A standard bathroom remodel in Dallas typically takes 3 to 5 weeks. A guest bath with a straightforward tub-shower swap and tile floor can finish in about three weeks, while a primary bath with custom tile, glass enclosure, and specialty fixtures pushes closer to five. Permitting through the City of Dallas or surrounding cities like Garland and Grand Prairie usually runs concurrent with the work, not before it. We give you a realistic timeline in writing before we start. Call (903) 326-8963 to get your project scheduled.
Yes, and we do it by the book. Bradford Remodeling Co Dallas pulls permits through the City of Dallas or the specific municipality where you live, whether that's Garland, Grand Prairie, Farmers Branch, Duncanville, Red Oak, Lancaster, Seagoville, Sunnyvale, or Cockrell Hill. Electrical, plumbing, structural, and mechanical work all get permitted and inspected. The Garrison Code requires the job be done right the first time, and passing inspection is part of that. Call (903) 326-8963 if you want to know what your project will require.
Most of the time, yes. For a single bathroom remodel, you'll typically have another bath to use. For a kitchen remodel, you'll set up a temporary kitchen in the garage or dining room, which most Dallas homeowners do. Whole-home projects are different, and we'll tell you honestly if the dust, noise, or lack of water makes staying untenable. We keep the site clean and contained as the work progresses, which helps. Call (903) 326-8963 to talk about your specific project and whether living at home makes sense.
Look for three things: a written price before work starts, a real warranty, and proof of licensing and insurance. Too many Dallas homeowners have been burned by verbal estimates that balloon at the door, crews that show up whenever they feel like it, and work that fails after the final check clears. Bradford Remodeling Co Dallas, led by Curtis Lane, puts every price in writing, works to The Garrison Standard, and stands behind the work for a full year. Call (903) 326-8963 and ask us anything about how we operate.
Brands & Parts FAQs
We regularly work with CWS and ECO Window Systems on Dallas-area projects. Both make vinyl and aluminum window lines that hold up to North Texas heat, and they're well suited to the older home styles we see in Lakewood, University Park, and Cockrell Hill. The right window for your home depends on sun exposure, existing framing, and your budget. We'll show you options and give you a written price for whatever you choose. Call (903) 326-8963 to talk windows during your free estimate.
In Dallas, yes, and here's why. Summer temperatures regularly run above 100 degrees, and a window with good thermal performance keeps your AC from working harder than it should. Brands like CWS and ECO Window Systems offer glass packages with low-E coatings and argon fill that make a measurable difference on west-facing walls. Homes in Sunnyvale and Seagoville that catch full afternoon sun benefit the most. You'll pay more up front, but the comfort difference is real, and so is the energy savings over time. Call (903) 326-8963 to see options for your home.
ES Windows is a brand we've installed on higher-end projects around University Park and Lakewood, where homeowners want a more architectural look. These are aluminum-framed windows with slim sightlines, and they're popular on modern additions and whole-home remodels. They're an upgrade over standard vinyl, and the price reflects that. We'll give you a clear written number for whichever line you choose, with no pressure to spend more than you want. Call (903) 326-8963 to talk window options for your remodel.
Licensing & Insurance FAQs
Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires, and we carry the coverage a remodeling company needs to work in Dallas homes. We're happy to show proof when we come out for your estimate. This is non-negotiable for us, because the work we do touches the structure, plumbing, and electrical systems you and your family live with every day. Ask any contractor for the same. Call (903) 326-8963 and we'll walk you through everything before we start.

Emergency & Response FAQs
We handle urgent structural and water-related issues, but we're not a 24/7 emergency service. Our hours are Monday through Friday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Sunday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. If you have a burst pipe or storm damage, shut off your water or power at the source, then call us during those hours at (903) 326-8963. We'll get you scheduled for a proper assessment and put together a written repair plan. For immediate life-safety emergencies, call 911 first.
It depends on the scope and our current schedule. Small projects like a guest bath or a window replacement can often start within a few weeks. Whole-home remodels and room additions need more planning, permitting, and material lead time, so expect a longer runway. When we give you a start date, we show up inside the window we gave. That's part of The Garrison Code. Call (903) 326-8963 to find out what our calendar looks like for your project.
You call us, and we deal with it. That's the whole point of working with a company that runs on discipline. If a material arrives damaged, we order the replacement and adjust the schedule. If we find an issue behind a wall, we stop and show you before proceeding. No surprises, no silence, no disappearing act. Curtis Lane and the team at Bradford Remodeling Co Dallas answer the phone during business hours and keep you informed. Call (903) 326-8963 if you have a concern about a current project.
Warranty & Guarantees FAQs
Every project we complete is guaranteed in writing for a full year. If the work fails in that time, we come back and make it right at no charge. That covers workmanship, installation, and the materials we supplied. The warranty is part of The Garrison Standard, and it's stamped on every job we do in Dallas, Garland, Sunnyvale, Grand Prairie, Farmers Branch, Duncanville, Red Oak, Lancaster, Seagoville, Lakewood, University Park, and Cockrell Hill. Call (903) 326-8963 to talk about what the guarantee means for your project.
Yes. The work is guaranteed in writing for a full year, and if it fails in that time we come back and make it right at no charge. We don't do verbal promises. The Garrison Code says the price goes in writing before work starts, and the warranty goes in writing before we leave. You'll have a document that spells out exactly what's covered and for how long. Call (903) 326-8963 and we'll walk you through the paperwork before you sign anything.
Sometimes, yes. We get calls from Dallas homeowners who had a remodel go sideways, whether it's shoddy tile work, a botched addition, or a contractor who vanished mid-project. We'll come look at it, tell you honestly what it will take to make it right, and give you a written price. If the issue is structural or involves electrical or plumbing, we'll recommend a trained professional and pull the permits needed to fix it properly. Call (903) 326-8963 to schedule an assessment.
The Garrison Standard is the promise every Garrison Partners company works to: arrive inside the window we gave you, put the price in writing before any work starts, do the job by the book, leave the site clean and squared away, and stand behind the work for a full year. It's simple, and it's enforced. If a job doesn't meet the standard, we stay until it does. Call (903) 326-8963 to work with a Dallas team that holds itself to it.
