Fast, Reliable Home Remodeling Across Highland
A full home remodel in Highland typically runs between $45,000 and $220,000 depending on scope, with kitchens landing at $14,000 – $45,000 and bathrooms at $9,000 – $28,000. Those numbers come from real projects across Highland, not a national average. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll put a written number on your specific job before anything gets torn out.
Bradford Remodeling runs crews throughout Highland, from the East Highland ranch tracts up against the foothills to the newer subdivisions east of Webster Street. We know which Highland homes sit on post-tension slabs, which ones carry the original 1970s wiring, and which remodels trigger a structural check before the first cut. That local knowledge changes how we scope a job, price it, and pull the permits. You get a straight answer, a written scope, and a crew that shows up in uniform.
Why Bradford Remodeling Is Highland’s Preferred Home Remodeling Company
Highland homeowners hire us for the same reason they keep recommending us to neighbors on Greenspot Road and the streets off Baseline: we put the whole job in writing before work starts. No verbal estimates. No numbers that move at the door. The Garrison Standard, the operating framework every Garrison Partners location has followed since 2004, requires a written price, a written scope, and a written guarantee on every single project. Highland is one of the cities we serve under that standard, and Curtis Lane, who leads Bradford Remodeling, holds every job to it.
What does that get you in Highland specifically? A crew that knows the difference between a remodel on a 1960s slab home near Victoria Avenue and one in a newer development off Palm Avenue. A scheduling conversation that accounts for Highland’s building department turnaround on permits. And a live person answering the phone at (903) 568-7222, around the clock, not a voicemail queue. When a Highland homeowner calls with a question mid-project, they get an answer.
Every technician who walks through your door is background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know their name before they arrive. And when the job closes, you’ll have a signed 365-Day Done Right Promise in hand. If anything fails inside that year, we come back and make it right at no charge. That’s the whole point of the guarantee.
Styles & brands we work with
Full Home Remodel in Highland
A full home remodel in Highland takes a house that’s tired and makes it work for the way you actually live. That might mean gutting a 1970s ranch in the East Highland area and reconfiguring the floor plan, or it might mean a phased update across multiple rooms in a two-story near Highland Avenue. The job typically includes demolition, rough-in for plumbing and electrical, drywall and flooring, cabinet and fixture installation, and finish work followed by a final inspection sign-off. Highland full home remodels run $45,000 to $130,000 for a home addition, with ADU construction reaching $90,000 to $220,000.
We start every full home remodel the same way: a written scope that names what we’re doing room by room, what materials we’re using, and what the finished job includes. That scope is the contract. If you want to add something mid-project, you’ll see a change order with a price before we proceed. No surprises at the end.
Scope and Allowance Discipline
Allowances are where remodel pricing falls apart. A cabinet allowance that’s too low, a flooring allowance that doesn’t cover the square footage you actually have. We set allowances at real levels for Highland’s market and document every material by brand and spec. KraftMaid cabinets, Caesarstone counters, Kohler fixtures. You’ll know what you’re getting before we order it.
Load-Bearing Work on Highland Slabs
Highland has a lot of older homes on post-tension slabs. Cutting into one of those slabs or moving a load-bearing wall is not a cosmetic decision. It requires a structural check, often a soils report because of the expansive clay under much of Highland, and a permit before the work starts. We handle that process as part of the remodel scope, not as a surprise line item later.
Home Remodeling Contractor in Highland
Homeowners searching for a home remodeling contractor in Highland usually have one of two situations: they’ve been burned before and want someone who actually shows up, or they have a specific remodel in mind and need a contractor who can tell them what it will honestly cost. Both types find the same thing at Bradford Remodeling: a written price before any work begins, a documented scope, and a contractor who answers the phone.
Curtis Lane runs the operation with the discipline you’d expect from someone who’s seen every way a remodel can go sideways. The Garrison Code, which governs how Bradford and its sister Garrison Partners locations operate, is built around one idea: put the guarantees in writing or don’t make them. For a Highland homeowner, that means a full-year guarantee on completed work, a clean job site at the end of every day, and a crew that treats your house like it’s occupied, because it is.
Written Price, Before Anything Happens
The price we give you in writing is the price you pay. We don’t reprice at the door, and we don’t use lowball estimates to get the job. If we find something unexpected behind a wall or under a floor, we stop, show you what we found, and give you a written change order before we continue. You decide. That’s how a remodel should work, and that’s how we do it in Highland.
What a Bradofrd Job Site Looks Like
Clean floors at the end of each day. Materials staged, not scattered. A portable dumpster on site when the scope calls for it. Substrate covered while adhesive cures. Soffit frames clean and square before drywall goes up. When the job closes, the site is swept, the fixtures are wiped down, and you have a written guarantee signed. Squared away, not just finished.
Trusted Brands We Service in Highland
Highland homeowners don’t want us guessing at materials. That’s why we install from a fixed roster of documented brands: KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, GAF and James Hardie exterior products, Therma-Tru doors, and Belgard hardscaping. We’ve also worked with modular and panelized systems from Dvele and Mighty Buildings on ADU projects where a faster, more controlled build made sense for the site. Every brand we install carries manufacturer specifications and warranties that back up our own 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a product fails, we know exactly who made it and what the remedy is. No mystery materials, no off-brand substitutions.

AfterCommon Home Remodeling Problems We See in Highland Homes
- Expansive clay soil under post-tension slabs. Highland sits on clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. A remodel that adds a bathroom or moves a load-bearing wall can shift the load path. We check the slab and the soil before cutting, which prevents cracks and structural surprises later.
- Original 1960s and 1970s electrical systems. Many Highland homes east of Webster Street still run original panels that can’t handle a modern kitchen or a new laundry room. A remodel that adds circuits often means a panel upgrade, and that’s a permit item, not an afterthought.
- Undocumented past work. We regularly open walls in Highland and find plumbing or electrical work that was never permitted. When that happens, the remodel has to bring the exposed work up to code before it’s closed back up. We build that possibility into the scope conversation up front.
- Subfloor damage from long-term leaks. Older Highland kitchens and bathrooms often have water damage under the tile. We patch or replace the subfloor where needed and document it in the change order, so the finished floor sits on a solid base.

FAQs About Home Remodeling in Highland
Yes, for any work that touches electrical, plumbing, structural, or changes the footprint. That includes moving a wall, adding a bathroom, relocating a sink, or cutting into a post-tension slab. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections as part of the remodel scope. Skipping the permit is not a shortcut; it’s a liability when the city finds out, and Highland’s building department does check. Call (903) 568-7222 if you’re not sure whether your project needs one.
A kitchen remodel in Highland runs $14,000 to $45,000. A bathroom remodel runs $9,000 to $28,000. The spread comes from cabinet grade, countertop material, whether you’re moving plumbing or gas lines, and what condition the subfloor and rough-in are in. We’ll give you a written scope with line-item pricing before you commit to anything.
Yes. Highland sits on expansive clay that moves with moisture. If you’re adding a bathroom, removing a wall, or putting a kitchen island on a post-tension slab, the load path changes and the slab may need a structural review. We check that before cutting, not after. It’s one reason ours is not the cheapest bid in Highland, and one reason the finished job holds up.
A kitchen or bathroom remodel in Highland typically takes four to eight weeks from demo to final inspection. A full home remodel or home addition runs three to six months. Permit turnaround at the city, material lead times for cabinets and countertops, and what we find behind the walls all factor in. We’ll give you a written schedule with the scope, and we’ll update it if something changes.
Three things: a written scope of work that names every task room by room, written allowances that are set at real prices for the brands you’ve chosen, and a written guarantee covering the finished work for one full year. At Bradford Remodeling, all three come standard under The Garrison Standard. If a contractor won’t put it in writing, don’t let them put a hammer in your house. Call (903) 568-7222 and we’ll show you what a real written scope looks like.
