Serving Dripping Springs, TX · Hays County
Meticulous craftsmanship, one attentive point of contact, and steady communication from the first walkthrough to the last — a written scope before demo and a signed change order before any added work.
TrueForm Remodeling serves all of Dripping Springs — Caliterra, Headwaters, Rim Rock, Belterra, the Mercer Street district, and the ranch and acreage lots. We build custom US-fabricated cabinetry, fine finish carpentry, high-efficiency windows and doors, and full kitchen, bath, and whole-home renovations. Every project starts with a fixed-price Good-Better-Best scope written before any demolition, so you see inclusions, allowances, and known risks up front. We pull and close every permit — through the City of Dripping Springs Building Department inside the city, or Hays County Development Services on unincorporated acreage. Much of the area sits in the Edwards Aquifer contributing zone, so water-quality plans and heritage-oak protection are routine. Whole-home renovation is our core, and a focused $10K project is welcome on the same terms.
Dripping Springs is Hill Country living west of Austin, and it splits into two worlds that permit differently. Inside the city limits, master-planned communities like Caliterra, Headwaters, and Belterra hold newer homes with HOA design review, while the historic Mercer Street district anchors the old town center. Outside the limits, in the unincorporated Hays County ETJ, are the ranchettes and acreage lots that give the area its character — larger parcels, well and septic systems, and more room to build. That divide is the first thing to sort on any project, because the permit path follows it: the City of Dripping Springs Building Department handles work inside the limits, and Hays County Development Services handles most unincorporated parcels, including the on-site septic program, though some ETJ subdivisions with development agreements follow the city's building codes. The land adds a second constant — much of the area sits in the Edwards Aquifer contributing zone, so a water-quality plan can be required, and heritage oaks are protected across the Hill Country. The newer stock is mostly about reconfiguring and finishing to a higher standard; the older homes and ranch properties are ready for updated kitchens, baths, and systems, and often outdoor living built for the setting. A kitchen in a Belterra home means opening the plan and updating finish; a ranch renovation means coordinating structural, mechanical, and finish trades under one scope, sometimes with well and septic in the picture. We hold custom cabinetry, fine finish carpentry, and high-efficiency window and door replacement in-house, so a single team owns the whole job and the fixed-price scope is written to your property, its jurisdiction, and the reviews it will face.
In Dripping Springs the work runs from custom kitchens and primary baths to whole-home renovations and outdoor living built for the Hill Country. Our signature lines carry those projects: US-fabricated custom cabinetry and fine finish carpentry, European triple-glazed windows and doors where large view glass meets Hill Country sun, and Pella and Armstrong product where a homeowner wants a proven catalog option. On acreage properties we coordinate the finish scope with well, septic, and outdoor structures. Around it all we run painting, flooring, and siding so one project manager owns the entire scope.

Texas has no statewide general-contractor license, and Dripping Springs has two permit paths depending on where your property sits. Inside the city limits, the City of Dripping Springs Building Department permits and inspects kitchen, bath, and whole-home work; in the master-planned communities an HOA design committee also reviews exterior changes. On unincorporated acreage, Hays County Development Services handles development permits and the on-site septic (OSSF) program, though some ETJ subdivisions with development agreements follow the city's building codes instead. Much of the area lies in the Edwards Aquifer contributing zone, so a water-quality plan can be required, and heritage oaks are protected. We confirm the jurisdiction, prepare the drawings, file the right permits, schedule inspections, and close everything before final payment.
Permit office: City of Dripping Springs Building Department (with Hays County Development Services in the ETJ). We pull every required permit and close it before final payment.
Local planning
Remodel schedules can be affected by permit queues, HOA review cycles, school calendars, weather, traffic, and neighborhood events. These are stable local resources to check while we build the written scope.
Protecting what stays is standard on every Dripping Springs project — not an upgrade or a line item you have to ask for. Before demo we isolate the work zone so the rest of your home keeps living normally, and we leave it as clean as we found it.
