Fast, Reliable General Contractor Across Windcrest
General contractor work in Windcrest runs anywhere from a $9,000 small bath remodel to a $130,000 full home addition, and the price always comes down to what’s hiding inside your walls. That’s the honest truth about this city. Most Windcrest homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s, and when we open them up, we routinely find original cast iron plumbing, ungrounded wiring, and framing that has shifted with the clay soil beneath the slab. If you’re planning a remodel or addition anywhere in Windcrest, call us at (254) 269-5071. We’ll walk the property with you, open the doors and the access panels, and give you a written price before any work begins. Not a verbal estimate. A written price.

Kitchen and Bath Remodels
Windcrest kitchens from the 1960s and 1970s are typically galley-style with original cabinets, laminate counters, and cast iron drain lines under the slab.

Construction Company in Windcrest
Construction Company in Windcrest describes what we do when the job involves structural work, not just cosmetic updates. That means additions, load-bearing wall removal, header replacement, roof repairs, and foundation-related framing fixes. Windcrest homeowners reach out to us when they want a single General Contractor responsible for the whole build, including the permit and inspection process.
Permits and Code Upgrades
Windcrest building permits trigger code requirements that older homes often can’t meet without upgrades. Open a wall and you’ll likely find original 1960s electrical panels, ungrounded circuits, or undersized headers. We handle this before it becomes a failed inspection. The permit gets pulled, the work gets inspected, and the final sign-off happens before we close the walls.
Driveway and Exterior Work
Paver patio installation in Windcrest runs $3,500 – $11,000, and paver driveways are $7,000 – $18,000. Since our clay soils expand and contract, proper base prep and drainage detailing make the difference between a flat surface and one that shifts in three years. We build for the soil we actually have here, not for some generic condition.
Trusted Brands We Service in Windcrest
We work with specification-grade materials from brands like Atlas, PGT, and Boral across our Windcrest projects. Atlas roofing products hold up against our hailstorms and intense summer sun. PGT impact windows are worth a close look for Windcrest homes given our spring storm season, and Boral trim and siding products stand up to humidity and heat cycles without warping. We stock common parts and finishes for faster turnaround on Windcrest repairs, so your timeline stays tight when a product is needed mid-project.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Windcrest Homes
- Expansive clay foundation movement. Blackland Prairie clay under Windcrest shrinks and swells with moisture, which stresses framing, cracks drywall, and throws doors out of square. Any remodel beyond paint and flooring needs a foundation elevation check first.
- Failing cast iron sewer lines. Original cast iron waste pipes in 1960s-1980s Windcrest homes are now cracking at the slab penetration. This only shows up during demolition, and it turns a simple bath remodel into a plumbing scope item.
- Undersized or ungrounded electrical. Older Windcrest panels and branch circuits weren’t built for modern kitchens, bathrooms, or home offices. Opening a wall for a remodel frequently triggers an electrical upgrade to pass inspection.
- Permit-driven scope growth. Windcrest code compliance is real. When walls are opened, outdated wiring headers, and waterproofing details must be corrected before the final inspection. We write allowances for these into the contract so the cost is known, not discovered.
Pricing for General Contractor in Windcrest, TX
The table below reflects the actual ranges we’ve quoted and built for in Windcrest over the past several years. These are real working numbers, not national averages. Your exact price depends on square footage, material selections, what’s discovered when we open the walls, and which code upgrades your permit triggers. What doesn’t change is how you pay: you’ll get a written line-item price before work starts, and change orders are priced and approved in writing before we proceed.
| Project Type | Windcrest Price Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Remodel | $14,000 – $45,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
| Paver Patio Installation | $3,500 – $11,000 |
These ranges assume standard-to-midgrade finishes and a scope that stays within the original contract. Where Windcrest jobs get expensive is when a project is quoted without inspecting the slab, the original plumbing, or the electrical panel, and then surprises hit mid-demolition. We handle that differently, which is the entire reason the written price and the written allowance exist.

FAQs About General Contractor in Windcrest
We stop demolition, photograph the damage, and price a trenchless pipe repair or a PVC replacement as a written change order before any further work happens. The repair typically adds $2,000 – $6,000 to the project depending on access and the length of pipe affected. You’ll approve the number in writing before we touch the drain line, and the city inspector will sign off on the corrected waste line before we close the wall. If this is something you already suspect, call (254) 269-5071 and we’ll inspect during the estimate so the allowance is in the contract from day one.
Yes. Windcrest requires a permit for any remodel that touches plumbing, electrical, or structural elements, even if the walls stay put. A simple fixture swap might be exempt, but replacing a shower valve, relocating an outlet, or upgrading a vent fan almost always triggers the permit requirement. We pull the permit ourselves as part of the scope, and the inspection is scheduled by our team. The fee is built into your written price, so there’s no surprise line item later.
We include a foundation elevation survey in the scope for any project that involves structural work, and we build a written allowance for slab-related framing corrections into the contract. That way if we find a corner of the house has settled, the repair is already financed and approved at a fixed rate, not re-priced under pressure. For a bath or kitchen remodel on a 1960s slab home, we typically allow 5 – 10% of the project total for unanticipated framing or drainage corrections. That’s how the written price stays honest.
Yes. A home addition on a slab foundation in Windcrest typically runs $45,000 – $130,000, and the largest variable is soil condition, because our expansive clay requires engineered fill, moisture barriers, and drainage planning before the slab is poured. We coordinate the soils report, the permit, the foundation work, framing, mechanicals, finishes, and the final inspection. A written price covers the full scope, and any change is priced and approved before the work happens.
We walk the finished project with you room by room, and every item you flag goes on a written punch list with a responsible party and a completion date. Then we work through it until the list is empty. Every project is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t right within a year of completion, we come back and make it right at no cost to you. That’s in writing on every contract, with clear terms on what’s covered and for how long.
