What a general contractor is for
Most remodels don't fail in the work. They fail in the gaps between the people doing it.
Hire the trades yourself and you become the general contractor — the person who has to know that the electrician can't rough in until the framer is done, that the countertop can't be templated until the cabinets are set, that the city wants to see the plumbing before the drywall closes it, and that every one of those handoffs is a day somebody can blame somebody else. That coordination is the job. It isn't a fee added on top of the work; it is what decides whether the work finishes on the schedule and the number you were given.
NRS is a locally owned general contractor based in Plano, working across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. We run 27 trades under one contract — the remodeling work that changes how a house lives, the interior and exterior construction behind it, and the general repairs every house collects. Whatever the scope, the shape of the engagement is the same: a free on-site evaluation, a written scope and price you approve before anything starts, one schedule, and one person answerable for the outcome.
Which project is yours?
Every trade below is one we run ourselves under the same contract. The remodels are where most clients start; the rest is what a whole-house job turns out to need.
Remodeling
The projects that change how a house lives — whole homes, kitchens, bathrooms and new rooms, managed end to end by one contractor.
Interior Construction
The trades that decide whether a remodel looks remodeled — floors, tile, walls, framing, paint, cabinetry and counters.
Exterior Construction
The envelope and the outdoors — roofing, gutters, siding, windows, doors, fencing, patios, decks and pergolas built for North Texas weather.
General Construction
Concrete, masonry, insulation, demolition and the running repair list every house accumulates — handled properly, not patched.
The big ones
Whole homes, kitchens, bathrooms, additions.
Projects that touch structure, plumbing, electrical and every finish trade after them. These are sequencing jobs first and finish jobs second — which is exactly why they belong with a general contractor rather than a series of separate bids.
The list on the fridge
The repairs a house accumulates, handled properly.
A door that never closed right, the drywall crack that came back, a fence section, a gutter run, the tile that lifted. Small jobs done by someone who also builds the big ones — priced in writing like everything else.
How it runs, from the first call
Tell us what's wrong with the house
A call or the form. We ask what you're trying to change, what you're trying to keep, and what has to be true when it's done.
We come out and look
Measurements, what's structural, what's behind the wall, what your city will want permitted. Free, anywhere in DFW.
You get it in writing
A scope and a price you approve before any work starts — every trade, in the order it will happen.
One schedule, one team
Demolition, rough-in, drywall, finish trades — sequenced by us, not negotiated between subcontractors on your driveway.
The walkthrough
We write the punch list down with you, and then we finish it.
Questions people ask a general contractor
- What does a general contractor actually do that a handyman or a single trade doesn't?
- Owns the sequence. A remodel is a chain of trades that each depend on the one before — demolition, framing, plumbing and electrical rough-in, inspection, drywall, tile, cabinets, counters, paint. A general contractor schedules that chain, orders materials against it, coordinates the permits and inspections with your city, and is the one company answerable if any link fails. A single trade does its own link well and is honest about not owning the rest.
- Do you take on smaller jobs, or only full remodels?
- Both. Whole-home remodels, kitchens, bathrooms and additions are the core of the business, but the running repair list every house accumulates is on our list too — drywall, doors, trim, paint, tile repairs, fencing, gutters. Tell us the job; we'll tell you honestly whether it's one for us and how we'd price it.
- Do we deal with the subcontractors ourselves?
- No. You deal with us. Who is in your house on which day, what they're doing and what happens next is our job to manage and communicate. One phone number, one person responsible for the whole outcome.
- How does pricing work?
- You receive a written scope and price before work starts, and you approve it. If it isn't in the scope, it isn't in the price — in both directions. Changes you ask for mid-project are priced in writing the same way before they're done.
- Where in Dallas–Fort Worth do you work?
- We're based in Plano and serve the whole metroplex — Collin, Dallas, Denton and Tarrant counties. Distance changes scheduling, never the standard. The estimate is free anywhere we work.
- Can we reach you outside business hours?
- Yes. The line is open 24 hours, 7 days. If we're on a job when you call, leave a message and we call you back.
