Kitchen, bath, HVAC & whole-home remodels in Rollingwood
Meticulous craftsmanship, one attentive point of contact, and steady communication from the first walkthrough to the last — written scope before demo, no surprises, no horror stories.
Where can I find a remodeling contractor in Rollingwood?
TrueForm Remodeling serves all of Rollingwood — the Rollingwood Drive corridor, Nixon Drive, Pickwick Lane, Wallis Drive, and the Bettis and Hatley streets. We build custom US-fabricated cabinetry, fine finish carpentry, high-efficiency windows and doors, and full kitchen, bath, whole-home, and addition projects. 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 are fully insured for general liability and workers' comp, and we pull and close every permit through City of Rollingwood Development Services. Rollingwood has no HOA — the city's building code governs, and it is strict on impervious cover and masonry, with lots draining toward Barton and Eanes creeks. Whole-home renovation and additions are our core here, and a focused $10K project is welcome on the same terms.
Remodeling in Rollingwood, Travis County
Rollingwood is a small, close-in city just across the creek from Zilker Park, and its scale is the thing that shapes a remodel here. It is barely a square mile, fully built out, and made up mostly of mid-century homes on wooded lots that have been steadily updated and expanded over the decades. Because it is so small and so desirable, the pressure is to make more of an existing lot — reconfigure, add up or out, and modernize systems — rather than start over. The city has no HOA, so the building code does the governing, and it is specific: impervious-cover caps that vary by zoning district, required masonry percentages on new work, and close attention to how a lot drains. That last point matters here, because Rollingwood lots shed water toward Barton and Eanes creeks, so stormwater and impervious cover are real design constraints on any addition, not afterthoughts. The mid-century stock brings the usual realities — closed-off floor plans, single-pane windows, and systems ready for an upgrade. A kitchen in a Rollingwood home usually means opening the plan, updating systems, and fabricating cabinetry that fits the room. An addition means solving impervious cover and drainage first, then building. 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 lot, its drainage and cover limits, and the city review it will face.
Services we deliver in Rollingwood
In Rollingwood the work runs from custom kitchens and primary baths to whole-home renovations and additions on tight, wooded lots. Our signature lines carry those projects: US-fabricated custom cabinetry and fine finish carpentry, European triple-glazed windows and doors, and Pella and Armstrong product where a homeowner wants a proven catalog option. On the mid-century stock we routinely pair the finish scope with window replacement and system updates. Around it all we run painting, flooring, and siding so one project manager owns the entire scope.

Concept visuals we use to align on direction before we write scope — kitchens, baths, whole-home, and exterior. These are planning renders, not photos of finished projects.
Texas has no statewide general-contractor license, so Rollingwood runs its own permitting. Kitchen, bath, addition, and whole-home work with plumbing, electrical, structural, or mechanical changes requires a City of Rollingwood building permit and review through Development Services. There is no private HOA — the city code is the review, and it is strict on impervious-cover caps that vary by zoning district, required masonry percentages, and drainage, since lots shed water toward Barton and Eanes creeks. We prepare the drawings, run the impervious-cover and drainage numbers, file the application, schedule inspections, and close the permit before final payment.
Permit office: City of Rollingwood Development Services (rollingwoodtx.gov/planning-development). We pull every required permit and close it before final payment.

Useful Rollingwood context before you remodel
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 Rollingwood 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.
Floor and stair protection — ram board and adhesive film along every path the crew walks.
Zippered dust barriers and negative-air machines where the work calls for it.
HVAC returns sealed so demo dust doesn't travel through the ductwork.
Cabinetry, counters, and landscaping that stay are covered and protected.
Daily cleanup, and a final walkthrough so the home is left as clean as we found it.
FAQs — Rollingwood
How does the impervious-cover limit affect my addition?
Rollingwood caps impervious cover by zoning district, so patios, driveways, and roof area all count toward how much you can add. We run the numbers early and design the addition to fit within the limit, so the review doesn't send you back to redraw.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Rollingwood?
In a Rollingwood home, a quality kitchen with custom cabinetry, new finishes, and updated systems generally runs $75K–$140K; a full gut with layout changes runs higher. We give you Good, Better, and Best ranges with itemized scope before demo, so the number is real.
Is there an HOA I need approval from?
No — Rollingwood has no private HOA. The city's building code does that job, and it's strict on impervious cover, masonry, and drainage. We carry that review for you as part of the project.
Can you add on to a small mid-century Rollingwood home?
Yes — that's common here. Because the city is built out, adding up or out and modernizing an existing home is often the answer. We solve impervious cover and drainage first, then handle the structural and finish work under one scope.
Will you take a smaller project?
Yes. A single bath, a run of built-ins, or a mudroom is welcome on the same fixed-price terms and the same quality standard as a whole-home renovation. Whole-home and additions are our specialty, not our minimum.
