Remodeling Company in Shady Hollow, TX
Home remodeling in Shady Hollow, TX typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a kitchen and $9,000 to $28,000 for a bathroom, depending on layout, cabinet line, and countertop material. What makes Shady Hollow jobs different is the housing stock: most homes are large custom builds from the 1990s onward, many on one-acre-plus lots with septic systems and private wells, mixed with newer subdivisions that went through annexation. That patchwork means a remodel here often involves more than swapping finishes – it can mean locating an unrecorded septic tank, addressing expansive clay soil movement, or coordinating with shifting municipal requirements. Penhallow Remodeling puts the written price and the 365-day guarantee in your hands before a single cabinet gets pulled. Call (325) 225-5429 for a free estimate.
Why Shady Hollow Homes Are Different
Shady Hollow grew fast, and the ground tells the story. Older sections off Brodie Lane were built before annexation – you can spot those houses by the septic tank lid in the backyard. Those systems were never recorded on city maps, so any addition or major remodel starts with locating and working around them. Newer tracts went through municipal tie-ins, which means utility extensions and updated code requirements that older properties never had to meet. Crews working in Shady Hollow regularly move between both realities in the same week.
Soil is the other variable that shapes every project here. Central Texas expansive clay moves with moisture – it swells in wet seasons and shrinks through long, hot droughts. Foundations shift, slabs crack, and grading that worked ten years ago may not drain properly now. Any remodel that touches structure, flooring, or exterior walls has to account for that movement, or the finish work fails early. Flash-flood events compound it: drainage planning is not optional on a Shady Hollow addition.
Homes on private wells and septic have another constraint: water pressure and drain capacity were sized for the original footprint. Adding a bathroom or expanding a kitchen can push those systems past what they were designed to handle. We check that before we quote, because a beautiful new bath that can’t flush reliably is a warranty claim waiting to happen.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Shady Hollow Services
Shady Hollow homeowners call us about two things more than anything else: whole-home work that needs a licensed general contractor, and the kitchen and bath remodels that make up the heart of those projects. Each has its own dedicated page with full pricing and scope.
General Contractor in Shady Hollow
A General Contractor in Shady Hollow is the difference between a project with one accountable party and a project where you’re juggling subs yourself. On a Shady Hollow home with a septic system on a one-acre lot, that accountability matters: permits, inspections, sewer scope, foundation evaluation, and trade sequencing all have to line up. We handle the whole sequence, and every job gets a written price before work begins – the number you’re quoted is the number on the invoice.
Bathroom Remodeling in Shady Hollow
Bathroom Remodeling in Shady Hollow often means working around older plumbing rough-ins and well-water pressure that was fine for 1998 but strains under a modern shower system. We plan for that: pressure checks, drain capacity, and waterproofing methods suited to clay soil movement. Walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, and full bath rebuilds all start with a written line-item quote and a 365-day promise to make it right.
Kitchen Remodeling in Shady Hollow
Kitchen Remodeling in Shady Hollow runs from opening up walls in older custom homes to full gut-and-rebuild jobs in newer subdivisions. Countertop material, cabinet line, and whether we’re moving plumbing or gas all drive the final number – which you get in writing before demo day. We install KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry and Cambria quartz, each carrying manufacturer warranties alongside ours.

Home Remodeling in Shady Hollow
Whole-home remodeling in Shady Hollow means working with the house you actually have – not a blank lot. That usually means a 1990s custom build on expansive clay with a septic system, or a newer annexed tract home tied into municipal utilities. The defining challenge is navigating both: additions that have to avoid unrecorded septic fields, slabs that have moved with two decades of drought and rain, and code requirements that changed when the city line did. Home Remodeling here is part construction, part archaeology, part drainage engineering. We write the price before we start, and the guarantee after we finish.
