Dallas-Fort Worth renovations run on a different calendar than most. Hail season from March through June can fill up roofing schedules for the rest of the year, and the metro's relentless population growth means contractors often book months out even without a storm to chase. A few have been working in these neighborhoods for decades, and others are newer firms riding the boom in Collin and Denton counties.

Nine firms are profiled here, all of which serve the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and nearby communities. For project-specific cost breakdowns and planning tips, see our Dallas guides on garage renovations, home additions, condo and apartment renovations, and bathroom remodels.

Valencia Remodeling & Construction

What started as Edward Valencia rehabbing investment properties on the side turned into a full-service general contractor in 2012, now operating across the southern half of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The office at 8204 Elmbrook Drive in the Stemmons Corridor coordinates kitchens, bathrooms, painting, flooring, doors, windows, roofing, and siding through one project manager per build. The company also files under VR Investment Group LLC on state records and carries BBB Accreditation since 2024 at an A+ rating. Saturday hours separate Valencia from contractors who only field calls Monday through Friday. Service runs through Dallas proper, Highland Park, University Park, Mesquite, Grand Prairie, Cedar Hill, and Duncanville.

Texas Premier Locksmith

Eleven Texas locations and a 30-to-60-minute mobile response window make Texas Premier Locksmith one of the largest locksmith operators in the state, with the Dallas storefront at 14860 Montfort Drive serving as headquarters. Yair Frenkel founded the company in 2010 under Texas Locksmith License #B17236, and the team has carried BBB A+ accreditation for a decade. Every technician is licensed, bonded, insured, and background-checked before riding in a dispatch van.

AY Development

Most contractors at AY Development's price tier won't produce free 3D renderings before a contract is signed, but Yehuda Izmagristo does, walking homeowners through the design during the initial consultation. The 13101 Preston Road office in North Dallas covers kitchen and bathroom remodeling, custom home construction, home additions, and outdoor kitchens across more than 40 cities in the metroplex. The project manager who quotes the work also runs the build through completion, which keeps responsibility from getting handed off mid-project. A BuildZoom score of 122 and 21 five-star Google reviews back the operation, and AY Development holds a seat on the Dallas Association of Home Builders roster. Past projects run through Preston Hollow, Park Cities, Frisco, McKinney, Southlake, Colleyville, and the Trophy Club corridor.

ICGM Group

DBE, MBE, SBE, and AABE certifications give ICGM Group a lane into federal contracts and large corporate buildouts that boutique residential remodelers cannot bid on. The firm runs out of 2550 Pacific Avenue in Dallas's Deep Ellum, founded in 2017, and now operates additional offices in Oklahoma City and Houston so crews can shift across markets as project volume changes. Capability spans general construction management, pre-construction planning, MEP coordination, HVAC, concrete, demolition, and finish carpentry. Retail tenant improvements, healthcare buildouts, and office renovations make up most of the project pipeline, alongside multi-family work. BuildZoom rates ICGM at 110, and the firm has maintained continuous Texas licensing since founding.

Rockland Homes

Penthouse buildouts at The W Residences, The House, and The Residences at The Highland sit at the top end of Rockland Homes' portfolio, alongside custom build-to-suits in Oak Lawn, Uptown, Knox-Henderson, Preston Hollow, and the Park Cities. Peter Cogswell incorporated the company in June 1997 to deliver well-located urban housing at accessible price points, and Rockland now runs from 511 East John W. Carpenter Freeway in Irving with a satellite office on Magnolia Street in Arlington. The 56 permitted projects on file and BuildZoom score of 130 mark Rockland as one of the higher-volume custom builders in the metroplex. Leadership maintains a near-daily on-site presence across active projects, which is unusual at that volume.

Architecture, engineering, and construction live under one roof at Selin Construction, which means the team that designs a project also bids and builds it without separate sales reps in the chain. The Murphy office handles commercial remodeling, residential remodeling, pool restoration and outdoor living, interior and exterior renovations, MEP engineering, and commercial permitting from concept through walkthrough. Coverage reaches Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Southlake, Allen, Carrollton, Richardson, Garland, Irving, Arlington, Lewisville, and Grapevine in addition to Dallas and Fort Worth proper. Porch reviews consistently land at five stars across past clients.

Revolver Roofing LLC

A first-responder-owned roofing operation in Rockwall isn't common across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and Revolver Roofing has operated out of 1288 Petaluma Drive on that model since 2020. The team holds Master Certified Installer credentials on major roofing systems, A+ BBB Accreditation from 2024, and a five-star review average tied to same-day or next-day inspection appointments. Impact-resistant shingle upgrades come standard on full installations, which can qualify homeowners for premium discounts of up to 30% with major Texas insurers like State Farm and USAA.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a licensed general contractor in Texas?

Texas doesn't require general contractors to hold a state license, which puts more responsibility on homeowners to verify credentials before signing a contract. Specialty trades like electrical, HVAC, and plumbing do require state licensing through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. For any major project, confirm the contractor's liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, BBB rating, and references from recent projects in your area.

When is the best time to renovate in Dallas-Fort Worth?

Hail season from March through June can disrupt exterior work, with roofers and exterior remodelers shifting schedules around storms and insurance claim cycles. Interior projects move steadily year-round, though July and August heat slows down framing, concrete pours, and exterior demolition. Many contractors recommend booking exterior projects for September through early December, when the weather is stable and crews are working through the storm-claim backlog

Can I add an ADU to my Dallas-Fort Worth property?

ADU rules vary city by city across the metroplex, and the gap between Dallas and Fort Worth is significant. In Dallas, accessory dwelling units are not permitted by right in most single-family zones, and homeowners typically need to pursue either an Accessory Dwelling Unit Overlay (ADUO) through a neighborhood petition process or a special exception from the Board of Adjustment. When approved, Dallas ADUs are capped at 800 square feet, and either the primary home or the ADU must be owner-occupied, with the rental unit registered annually through the Single Family Rental Registration Program.

Fort Worth takes a more permissive approach. ADUs are allowed in designated residential zones under the city's Unified Development Code, subject to setback, lot coverage, and height limits tied to the primary structure. A building permit through the Fort Worth Development Services Department is required for all ADU construction, and historic overlay districts like Fairmount, Ryan Place, and the Stockyards add an additional review layer through the Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission.

Other cities across the metroplex including Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Arlington, and Irving each set their own rules on size caps, setbacks, parking, and owner-occupancy. Confirm the zoning district, applicable deed restrictions, and any HOA covenants with your city's planning department before paying for design work.
