Burleson TX Remodeling Contractor | Kitchens and Garages

Remodeling in Burleson

Burleson is one of the fastest growing cities on our list. It had about 7,700 people in 1970 and passed 47,000 by 2020. Fifty-six percent of the housing stock was built in 2000 or later, which makes it the opposite of Haltom City or Cleburne. The typical Burleson house is a one-story or two-story brick production home on a slab with an open plan, a big garage and builder-grade everything.

We work in Hidden Creek, Mountain Valley, Oak Valley, Hidden Vistas, the Chisenhall area, along Alsbury Boulevard on the Tarrant County side, and in the older streets around Old Town and Renfro Street.

What Newer Houses Need

A 2005 Burleson kitchen does not need a wall moved. It needs the flat-panel builder cabinets replaced or refaced, laminate counters swapped for quartz, a real hood instead of a microwave, and better lighting. Most of these kitchens have a large island already. We make it work harder with drawers, a second sink or seating on two sides.

Garage conversions are the other big call here. Three-car garages on the newer streets often lose one bay to a home gym, a study or a bedroom for a parent. The slab is already there and the walls are already framed, so the job is insulation, drywall, electrical, HVAC and a floor, in that order.

Old Town Burleson

The streets near Old Town and Renfro carry the small share of Burleson houses from before 1970. Those are pier-and-beam and frame, with the same closed kitchens and small baths we see in older Fort Worth. Full renovations there run longer and the scope includes leveling and rewiring more often than not.

Burleson Permits

The City of Burleson Building Permits and Inspections department handles residential remodels. The city spells out that painting, carpet, cabinets and trim are cosmetic and exempt, while remodels, additions and any structural, mechanical, electrical or plumbing change need a permit. We apply through the city's online system and book inspections there as well.

Additions and Outdoor Living

Burleson lots in Mountain Valley and Hidden Creek have room behind the house, and the most common addition is a covered patio with a kitchen and a fireplace. We pour the slab, frame the roof into the existing one, run gas and electrical, and set the appliances. Screened versions are popular because of the bugs off the creeks, and a ceiling fan on every bay is standard.

Inside, the addition request is usually a bedroom and bath for a parent moving in, or a second living room for teenagers. On a one-story house we extend off the back; on a two-story we sometimes build over the garage if the framing was sized for it.

Bathrooms in the post-2000 houses do not need the layout changed. The master shower gets rebuilt in tile with a bench, the fiberglass surround in the kids' bath gets replaced with a tiled tub, and the vanities get swapped for something with drawers. Two weeks of work per bath, and the house stays livable the whole time.

Questions We Get

Does a garage conversion in Burleson need a permit?

Yes. It changes the use of the space and adds electrical, insulation and usually HVAC. The city inspects framing, insulation, electrical and final. We also keep the garage door or replace it with a wall and window depending on what you want from the street.

Can you reface my builder cabinets instead of replacing them?

If the boxes are plywood and square, yes. We put on new doors, drawer fronts and end panels, add soft-close hardware and paint or stain to match. If the boxes are particleboard that has swelled at the sink, replacement is the better spend.

Do you work on the older houses near Old Town?

We do. Expect pier-and-beam floors, older wiring and small rooms. We check the foundation first, then plan the kitchen and bath around what the structure can carry. Those jobs run longer than a newer house, and the scope lists the leveling and rewiring as their own lines so you can see them.
