The Colony has a housing profile you do not see in the newer suburbs around it. Much of it was built in the eighties as modest, affordable homes near the lake, and those houses have now reached the age where the original kitchen, the original bathrooms and the original flooring are all asking for attention at once — usually for the first time in their lives.
The housing here
Eighties starter stock reaching its first full remodel, alongside newer high-density development — two markets with very different sensible budgets.
That makes this a first-real-remodel market, and the trap here is over-building. A scope that makes sense in Southlake can put you well past what the street supports. We would rather tell you where that ceiling sits and design a genuinely good remodel underneath it than sell you the biggest version and let you find out at resale.
The newer, denser development on the Plano side is a different job again — younger houses, nothing broken, owners upgrading finishes rather than fixing age.

The Colony questions, answered
- How much should we spend remodelling a home in The Colony?
- Enough to do it properly and not so much that the street cannot carry it. We will tell you where we think that line sits for your block — it is one of the few things a contractor can tell you that is worth more than the discount they are offering.
- Our house is from the eighties and nothing has been updated. Where do we start?
- Usually with whatever protects the house, then the room you use most. If the roof, the water heater or the drain lines are at the end of their lives, those come first; after that, the kitchen normally returns more daily quality of life per dollar than anything else in this stock.
- Do you work on the newer homes on the east side too?
- Yes. Those are a different scope — nothing is failing, so the work is upgrading builder finishes, adding built-ins, and making outdoor space usable. We price that as the upgrade job it is.
