Kitchen, bath, HVAC & whole-home remodels in The Colony

Where can I find a remodeling contractor in The Colony?

TrueForm Remodeling serves all of The Colony — The Tribute, Stewart Peninsula, Austin Ranch, Legend Crest, and Ridgepointe. One zip code, 75056, holds three distinct remodeling markets: the original 1970s and 80s Fox & Jacobs sections, where a remodel starts with what is behind the walls (aluminum branch wiring and cast-iron drains are common for the era); the 1990s move-up neighborhoods like Legend Crest and Ridgepointe, now classic kitchen and bath reconfigure territory; and the lakefront — The Tribute and Stewart Peninsula — where golf-course and waterfront homes support spa baths and serious outdoor living. We work on fixed-price Good-Better-Best tiers with a written scope before any demo, same-day response, a 3-year workmanship warranty, and insured GL and workers' comp.

Remodeling in The Colony, Denton County

The Colony packs more housing-stock range into one zip code than almost any city on this side of Lewisville Lake. The original core was built by Fox & Jacobs in the late 1970s and 1980s as attainable family housing, and it still plays that role — which is exactly why remodeling matters here. Owners in those sections renovate to stay, because the same money that upgrades a kitchen in The Colony barely covers closing costs on a move to Frisco next door. But era-specific issues come first: aluminum branch wiring that needs remediation before a kitchen can take modern loads, cast-iron drains under the slab that deserve a camera before any bath demo, and panels that predate today's code. Legend Crest and Ridgepointe came in the 1990s as the move-up ring, and those homes are now deep into reconfigure season — garden tubs out, walk-in showers in, kitchen walls opened up. Then Grandscape and Nebraska Furniture Mart rewired the retail map, and The Tribute and Stewart Peninsula built a lakefront market of golf-course and waterfront homes where the work runs to spa primaries and outdoor rooms. Lewisville ISD serves the whole city, and its steady resale keeps every one of these remodel bets sensible.

Services we deliver in The Colony

Work in The Colony splits by era. The Fox & Jacobs core generates systems-first remodels — electrical remediation and drain-line work scoped alongside the kitchen or bath that prompted the call. The 1990s sections run to full kitchen and primary-bath reconfigures. The Tribute and Stewart Peninsula skew toward spa baths, outdoor kitchens, and lake-facing covered living. HVAC replacement is steady citywide, with the oldest sections often needing duct and return corrections at the same time.

Permits, code, and HOA in The Colony

The City of The Colony Building Inspections office (thecolonytx.gov) permits remodels touching plumbing, electrical, structural, or HVAC. The Tribute runs full ARC review with lakefront setback rules, so exterior and outdoor-living projects there get the plans submitted before materials are ordered. The original Fox & Jacobs sections mostly have no HOA, which simplifies approvals — but the era does not simplify the work. Aluminum branch wiring and cast-iron drains are common in that stock, and we build the inspection of both into the written scope before demo, so remediation is priced up front instead of discovered mid-project.

Permit office: City of The Colony Building Inspections (thecolonytx.gov). We pull every required permit and close it before final payment.

How we protect your home

Protecting what stays is standard on every The Colony 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 — The Colony

My 1970s Colony home has aluminum wiring. Can you still remodel the kitchen?

Yes, and it is one of the most common situations we scope here. Aluminum branch wiring needs remediation — typically approved connectors at every device or targeted rewiring of the affected circuits — before a kitchen takes modern appliance loads. We put the remediation approach and price in the written scope before demo, so there is no mid-project surprise.

Should I worry about cast-iron drains before a bathroom remodel?

In the original Fox & Jacobs sections, yes — cast iron of that age is often scaled or cracked under the slab. We camera the lines before demo and price the options in writing, from spot repair to reroute. Finding it on camera costs little; finding it after new tile is set costs a lot.

Do you handle ARC review in The Tribute?

Yes. The Tribute runs full architectural review with lakefront setback rules, so outdoor kitchens, covered patios, and exterior changes get submitted with drawings and material specs before anything is ordered. We manage the submission and do not start exterior work without written approval.

What does a bathroom remodel cost in The Colony?

A guest bath refresh runs $10K–$18K. A primary bath reconfigure — the garden-tub-to-walk-in-shower conversion common in Legend Crest and Ridgepointe — runs $32K–$50K. A full spa primary with plumbing moves and a freestanding tub, more typical in The Tribute, runs $50K–$75K+. Older sections may add drain or electrical scope, priced before work starts.

How long does a kitchen remodel take here?

A refresh with new counters, backsplash, and paint runs 2–3 weeks. A full reconfigure with semi-custom cabinets runs 7–9 weeks. A custom project with layout changes runs 12–16 weeks. In the oldest sections, add time up front for electrical remediation — we sequence it so the kitchen is only opened up once.
