Remodeling in The Colony
We live here, we work here — and we know these homes better than anyone.
Premium Remodeling,
Right in Your Backyard
The Colony is where HD Signature Remodeling was built, and it shows in every project we take on here. From the established ranchers along Main Street to the two-stories in Colony Ranch that went up in the late 1980s, we know the floor plans, the original builder choices, and exactly where those homes fall short of what homeowners want today.
Situated along the southern shore of Lake Lewisville, The Colony has a character that sets it apart from newer North Dallas suburbs — mature trees, real neighborhoods, neighbors who have been here for decades. The homes reflect that history. Most were built between 1975 and 1995, which means they carry the original cabinets, the galley kitchens, the tub-only primary baths, and the builder-grade fixtures that defined construction in that era. They have good bones. What they need is the investment to match what the owners have built in equity and lifestyle.
Because our shop is at 7204 Elm St #102 — less than five miles from most Colony neighborhoods — we do not pad travel time, and our crews show up on time. When you work with us in The Colony, you are working with a team that is genuinely local, not one driving in from across the Metroplex.
Services We Bring to The Colony
The Colony's 1980s and 1990s housing stock is exactly the sweet spot for full kitchen and bathroom transformations, with lakefront proximity driving strong demand for covered outdoor living spaces.
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchens in The Colony from the 1980s and 1990s almost always have galley configurations, dated cabinetry, and worn laminate surfaces. We redesign the layout and finishes from the ground up.
Explore service 02Primary Bathroom
Original primary baths in homes in The Colony were built for function, not relaxation — basic tubs, low vanities, and no walk-in shower. We build the spa-caliber retreats these homes deserve.
Explore service 03Whole-Home Remodeling
Many homes in The Colony have never had a significant update across kitchens, baths, and living spaces. We coordinate the full scope under one contract and one team.
Explore service 04Outdoor Living
Lake Lewisville is steps away for many homeowners in The Colony. Covered patios, outdoor kitchens, and shade structures extend the living season and complement lakefront lifestyles.
Explore serviceWe Know The Colony Homes
The majority of homes in The Colony were built between 1975 and 1995, giving them solid construction and mature lots but interiors that reflect the builder standards of that era. Galley kitchen configurations, original tub-only primary baths, and laminate or early-tile countertops are the norm. A meaningful portion of the neighborhood has seen little or no interior updating, which means these projects often have the scope to be truly transformative.
- Galley kitchen layouts from the 1980s are prime candidates for full reconfiguration and redesign
- Original primary baths lack walk-in showers, modern vanities, and any spa-caliber element
- Builder-grade cabinetry throughout — kitchen and bath — is at or past the end of its useful life
- Lakefront and lake-adjacent lots create strong demand for covered outdoor kitchens and patio spaces
- Many homes in The Colony have never had a comprehensive update, making whole-home scope both practical and high-value

Questions from The Colony Homeowners
Most homes in The Colony were built between 1975 and 1995, which puts them in the 30-to-50-year range. At that age, original kitchens and bathrooms are typically well past their functional and aesthetic prime. The most common projects we see in homes in The Colony are full kitchen redesigns — including layout changes to open up galley configurations — and primary bathroom transformations that add a walk-in shower, new vanity, and modern tile throughout. Many homeowners in The Colony also choose to address multiple spaces at once, since the bones are there and a coordinated whole-home approach often produces the best overall result.
For the full kitchen transformations we design and build in homes in The Colony — new layout, custom cabinetry, countertops, appliances, tile, and lighting — budgets typically range from $75,000 to $150,000 or more depending on scope, size, and finish level. Kitchens in The Colony from the 1980s and 1990s often benefit most from a complete redesign rather than a surface refresh, and the investment reflects that level of work. We are transparent about cost from the first conversation so there are no surprises when a proposal arrives.
Yes — structural changes, electrical work, plumbing modifications, and many other aspects of a full kitchen or bathroom remodel require permits through the City of The Colony Building Inspection department. HD Signature handles the permitting process as part of our design-build contract. Because we work in The Colony regularly, we are familiar with the local process and build permit timelines into the project schedule so there are no delays.
Lake Lewisville proximity makes outdoor living one of the highest-return investments a homeowner in The Colony can make. The projects that work best on lots in The Colony include covered patios with ceiling fans and weatherproof lighting, fully equipped outdoor kitchens with built-in grills and refrigeration, and shade structures that extend the usable season well into fall. We design outdoor living spaces to integrate with the home's architecture and handle everything from permitting to final inspection under one contract.
