A whole house remodel in the DFW area costs $100,000–$500,000, depending on the size of the home, the complexity of the work, and the level of finishes. A cosmetic whole-home refresh sits at the low end; a full gut with structural changes, additions, and premium finishes climbs toward — and past — the high end.
What each budget level buys
| Budget | Typical Scope |
|---|---|
| $100k–$200k | Whole-home cosmetic renovation — flooring, paint, lighting, doors and trim, plus a refreshed kitchen and updated bathrooms on existing layouts. |
| $200k–$350k | Deeper remodel — full kitchen and master bath rebuilds, layout changes with wall removal, some systems updates, upgraded finishes throughout. |
| $350k–$500k+ | Full gut renovation — structural changes, ceiling reconfigurations, additions, relocated plumbing and electrical, custom finish level end to end. |
The three levers that move the number
Size sets the baseline — every decision multiplies across square footage. Complexity is the biggest swing: moving structural walls, changing ceilings, relocating wet rooms, or adding footage costs multiples of finishing in place. Finishes compound across every room — the same house can finish out $100,000 apart on selections alone. This is why honest whole-home quotes only exist after a design and selection phase; anything sooner is a guess.
One contract, one number
Birdseye runs whole-home renovations as a single fixed-price contract: design, mood boards, and material selections locked first, permits pulled directly, licensed trades managed by a dedicated project manager, and every mid-project change documented in a signed change order. Across 500+ projects since 2009, that structure is what keeps a six-figure renovation on the number you approved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remodel a whole house in phases instead?
Yes, but phasing costs more in total — repeated mobilization, repeated dust and disruption, and finishes that never quite match. If you can do it once, do it once.
How long does a whole house remodel take in DFW?
Several months for cosmetic-level scopes and six months or more for full guts with structural work, driven by size, permits, and selections being locked before demo.
Should I remodel before moving in or after living in the house?
Before moving in is ideal — the crew moves faster in an empty house. If you're already living there, phased scheduling can keep parts of the home functional.
Is $100k enough for a whole house remodel?
For a moderate-sized DFW home, $100k covers a meaningful cosmetic transformation — flooring, paint, lighting, and refreshed kitchen and baths — but not structural changes or additions.
