Remodeling in Southlake
Premier west-side luxury with the expectations to match — and homes with the bones to deliver.
Premium Remodeling,
Right in Your Backyard
Southlake is one of the most consistently celebrated addresses in Texas. Carroll ISD alone draws buyers willing to pay a significant premium, and communities like Vaquero, Timarron, and Shady Oaks have long set the standard for what luxury suburban living looks like on the west side of DFW. The homes reflect that pedigree — large footprints, generous lots, high ceiling heights, and custom and semi-custom construction that was genuinely well built when it went up in the 1990s and early 2000s.
That era of construction is now the defining characteristic of the Southlake remodeling market. Homes built between 1990 and 2005 carry kitchens with custom cabinetry that was excellent in its day but is now dated in layout, finish, and hardware. Primary bathrooms from the same period — garden tubs, columns, single-stream showers, and tile from a different aesthetic entirely — are among the most common major transformation projects we undertake in the city. These homes have never needed a cosmetic facelift; they need a serious, design-led investment that matches the quality already embedded in the structure.
At roughly 32 miles from The Colony, Southlake is our furthest regular service area to the southwest — and a market we actively pursue because the homes and the homeowners here match what HD Signature does best. We work in Southlake for clients who have found that most contractors aren't quite at the level their home demands. We are, and we can prove it.
Services We Bring to Southlake
Southlake's 1990s and early 2000s custom and semi-custom homes have exceptional structural quality and generous proportions — they need a level of remodeling investment that matches what was spent to build them, and we deliver exactly that.
Kitchen Remodeling
Southlake kitchens from the 1990s and early 2000s often have quality custom cabinetry that is simply outdated in layout, door style, and finish. We redesign the full kitchen — cabinetry, countertops, appliances, layout, and lighting — with the custom quality that a Southlake home demands.

Garden tubs, separate entry showers, columns, and dated tile are the signature of Southlake primary bathrooms from this era. We transform them into contemporary luxury spa suites with large-format tile, custom cabinetry, freestanding soaking tubs, and frameless glass enclosures sized for the space.
Explore service 03Outdoor Living
Southlake's estate-scale lots create some of the most compelling outdoor living opportunities in DFW. We design and build covered outdoor kitchens, living pavilions, pool-adjacent entertainment areas, and fire features that are proportional to the property and the lifestyle.
Explore service 04Whole-Home Remodeling
Many Southlake homes have had partial updates over the years but lack a cohesive design vision across the full home. We coordinate kitchen, baths, living spaces, and outdoor areas under a single design-build contract — one team, one design language, one point of accountability.
Explore serviceWe Know Southlake Homes
Southlake's housing stock is predominantly custom and semi-custom construction from the 1990s and early 2000s — homes built with higher-quality structural components, taller ceiling heights, and larger room dimensions than production suburban homes of the same era. The consistent challenge is that interiors from this period — particularly kitchens and primary bathrooms — were finished to the design standards of their time, not today's. The bones are excellent; the finishes represent the single greatest opportunity for investment and transformation in the Southlake market.
- Custom and semi-custom 1990s construction provides exceptional structural quality and generous proportions for remodeling
- Kitchen cabinetry from the 1990s–2000s is often solid wood with quality joinery — but dated in door style, layout, and finish
- Primary bathrooms almost universally feature garden tubs, dated tile, and separate showers that are prime candidates for full transformation
- High ceiling heights throughout create dramatic remodeling opportunities, particularly in kitchens with cabinetry to the ceiling
- Large lots in Vaquero, Timarron, and Shady Oaks are proportional to outdoor living projects at the highest scale

The Right Team for Southlake
Worth the Drive for Southlake's Standards
Southlake is 32 miles from our shop in The Colony — and we actively choose to serve this market because the homes and the homeowners here match what we do. We bring the same on-site project management, the same premium subcontractor network, and the same design-build accountability to Southlake that we deliver to every city we serve. Distance is not an excuse for lesser service.
Luxury Outcomes Matched to Luxury Expectations
Southlake homeowners have experienced quality in every other aspect of their lives, and they recognize it — or its absence — in a contractor immediately. We work exclusively in the premium remodeling tier. Our material selections, our finish standards, and our construction practices are designed for homes like yours, not for a production suburban project down the road.
Whole-Home Vision, Design-Build Execution
Many of the Southlake homeowners we work with have done partial updates over the years and want to bring the full home into a cohesive, contemporary design. We specialize in that coordination — a single design language across the kitchen, primary bath, guest baths, and outdoor living areas, executed under one contract with one accountable team from design through final walkthrough.
Questions from Southlake Homeowners
For most Southlake homes from that era, the primary bathroom and kitchen are the two spaces that have aged most visibly and offer the greatest return on remodeling investment. Primary bathrooms with garden tubs, separate single-stream showers, and tile from the late 1990s are among the most dated elements in any home of this vintage — a full transformation here produces an immediate and dramatic quality-of-life improvement. Kitchens from this era often have quality cabinetry that simply needs to be replaced with a contemporary door style and layout configuration that works better for modern cooking and entertaining.
After those two anchors, Southlake homeowners frequently address outdoor living spaces, which tend to be undersized relative to the lot and the home's scale. We often help clients sequence a multi-year whole-home scope so the investment is spread across projects rather than compressed into one large contract.
For a full kitchen redesign in a Southlake home — custom cabinetry to the ceiling, premium stone countertops including a substantial island, a full appliance upgrade, tile work, plumbing fixtures, and a layered lighting design — budgets typically range from $100,000 to $225,000 or more depending on the kitchen's size, the scope of any layout changes, and the finish level selected. Southlake kitchens often have high ceilings that can be fully utilized with custom cabinetry, and the sight lines from kitchen into living and dining areas mean the visual impact of a full redesign is felt throughout the main floor. We are completely transparent about cost from the very first conversation.
A full transformation of a Southlake primary bathroom — removing the garden tub and original shower, installing large-format or book-matched stone tile throughout the shower and floor, adding a freestanding soaking tub, building custom cabinetry for the vanity, and installing a complete lighting and fixture package — typically ranges from $65,000 to $150,000 or more depending on the size of the space and the level of finish selected. Southlake primary bathrooms from the 1990s–2000s tend to be generously sized, which means there is real opportunity to create something dramatic. The investment reflects both the square footage and the quality required in this market.
For a home in Vaquero, Timarron, or Shady Oaks, "worthy of the home" typically means a covered outdoor living structure with a full outdoor kitchen, seating area, and lighting package — something proportional to the lot and the home's scale. We begin with a design conversation to understand how you use outdoor space and what's currently missing, then produce detailed plans and a fixed-price proposal before any work begins. The full construction process from design to final walkthrough is managed by a dedicated project manager under a single contract.
Outdoor living investments at this level in Southlake typically range from $75,000 to $200,000 or more for comprehensive pavilion structures with complete outdoor kitchen equipment. We handle permitting, all trade work, and final inspection as part of the contract.
