Remodeling Company in Jollyville, TX
Home remodeling in Jollyville usually means working with a home that was built for a different era. The older ranch houses along the US 183 corridor carry 1970s and 1980s floor plans, cast-iron pipes, and slab foundations that have shifted on expansive clay for forty years. The newer subdivisions bring their own work: builder-grade finishes that look tired by year five. We’re Penhallow Remodeling, and we handle both ends of that spectrum with a written price before any work starts and a 365-day promise to make it right. Call (325) 225-5429 to talk through your project.
Why Jollyville Homes Are Different
Jollyville sits on a patch of Texas geology that keeps contractors honest. The clay soils under the older neighborhoods swell when wet and shrink when dry, which means slab foundations move. A door that sticks in August may not be a hinge problem; it’s often the floor settling a quarter inch. When we remodel a kitchen or bathroom in one of those original brick ranch homes, we check the slab condition before we set a cabinet line or lay tile, because level matters more here than it does on stable ground.
The housing stock splits two ways. On one side you have single-story brick veneer ranch homes from the 1970s and 1980s, many with the original cast-iron drain lines still in the slab. On the other side sit the new two-story homes on smaller lots, where stucco and masonry exteriors hide tight framing and builder-grade trim that ages fast in Jollyville’s humidity. Both types of homes need different approaches, and the right approach starts with knowing which one you’re standing in.
Summer heat and storm season shape the work too. Attic insulation breaks down under 100-degree stretches, hail takes out roof decking, and crawlspaces hold moisture that eventually finds its way into flooring and drywall. A remodel here isn’t just about finishes. It’s about fixing what the climate and the soil have been doing to the house for years.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Jollyville Services
Most Jollyville homeowners reach out for help with a general contracting need or a kitchen or bathroom project, and those three services carry the bulk of our local work.
General Contractor in Jollyville
Acting as your general contractor means one point of contact for the whole job: permits, trade scheduling, material ordering, and the daily reality of keeping a remodel moving. In Jollyville, that often involves coordinating around HOA requirements in the newer subdivisions or working with older slab-on-grade construction where plumbing and framing decisions affect each other. General Contractor in Jollyville work with us starts with a written scope and price, not a handshake.
Bathroom Remodeling in Jollyville
Bathroom remodels in Jollyville frequently uncover what’s behind the tile: cast-iron drain lines that have cracked from decades of soil movement, or moisture damage under a shower pan that was installed before waterproofing standards improved. We plan for those discoveries and price them honestly before we start. Bathroom Remodeling in Jollyville gets you a written number and a defined scope before demo day, so the surprise goes to us, not to you.
Kitchen Remodeling in Jollyville
Kitchens in the older ranch homes were built for a 1970s idea of cooking: closed off, low counters, minimal storage. Opening one up often means moving load-bearing walls and reworking plumbing under a slab, which takes careful planning and a contractor who’s done it before. The newer homes need less structural work but benefit from cabinet and countertop upgrades that hold up to daily use. Kitchen Remodeling in Jollyville starts with a written quote so you know the number before anything is pulled out.

Home Remodeling in Jollyville
Home remodeling in Jollyville is rarely a single-room project. The homes are old enough that one change exposes another, and new enough that homeowners expect the result to last. A whole-house remodel here often means reworking an original 1970s floor plan, replacing cast-iron plumbing before it fails under the slab, and upgrading insulation and moisture control for the climate.

Whole House Remodel
Signs you need it
You’re patching one room a year and the house still feels behind, or you’ve outgrown the original layout and want the entire floor plan reconsidered at once.
What it costs in Jollyville
Whole-house remodels in Jollyville typically run $45,000 to $130,000 depending on square footage, structural work, and the finish level you choose.
How we do it
We map the existing structure, confirm what’s load-bearing, write a phased plan with a fixed price for each phase, and keep the house livable wherever the schedule allows.
Home Addition
Signs you need it
You need square footage the current footprint can’t give you: a second bath, a primary suite, or a larger kitchen, and moving isn’t the answer.
What it costs in Jollyville
Home additions in Jollyville range from $45,000 to $130,000 based on foundation work, roofline tie-ins, and finish level.
How we do it
We start with a site assessment for slab conditions and drainage, design the addition to match the existing roofline, pull permits, and coordinate every trade from footing to trim.

FAQs About Remodeling Company in Jollyville
Yes. Any structural change, plumbing move, or electrical work that requires a permit gets one, and we handle the paperwork and inspections. Unpermitted work can come back as a problem when you sell, so we don’t skip this step.
Some of the newer subdivisions around Jollyville have architectural review requirements for exterior changes like additions, windows, or driveway work. We’ll check what your specific HOA requires and submit the plans if needed, so you don’t get a violation letter mid-project.
For kitchen and bathroom remodels, four to six weeks of lead time is common. Larger whole-house projects may run longer depending on permit review and material availability, and we’ll give you a realistic start window in writing before you commit.
