We live here. We work here. From Forest Hills ranches to Northwood Hills contemporaries — we know these homes inside and out because we've been remodeling them for years.

DK lives in the neighborhood and has remodeled kitchens, bathrooms, and whole homes from Walnut Hill to Royal Lane, from White Rock to Richardson's border. When you hire Remodelit, you're hiring a neighbor.
These homes — mostly built between the 1960s and 1980s — have incredible bones but dated layouts. Closed-off kitchens. Small bathrooms. Dark living rooms. We specialize in opening them up, modernizing the flow, and making them work for how families actually live today.
Backed by Load Bearing Wall Pros, we handle structural changes in-house. That wall between the kitchen and living room? We can remove it properly — with engineering, permits (homeowner's responsibility), and the structural know-how most remodelers don't have.
Lake Highlands sits between White Rock Lake and Richardson, anchored by the Lake Highlands Town Center and some of the best schools in DISD. The housing stock is a mix of mid-century ranches, split-levels, and 1970s–80s traditionals — many of which are getting their first serious updates.
The most common projects we see: opening up the kitchen to the living room (almost every home here has a wall in the way), updating master bathrooms, adding covered patios for the backyard, and full kitchen gut renovations with new cabinetry, countertops, and appliances.
Lake Highlands home values have climbed steadily, and smart remodels are driving even more appreciation. A well-done kitchen remodel in this market typically returns 70–80% of its cost immediately — and makes the home dramatically more livable in the meantime.
Most remodeling companies sub everything out. You end up managing five different contractors and hoping it all comes together. We don't work that way.
Remodelit is a design-build firm — one team handles your project from design through final walkthrough. One contract. One point of contact. One team that's accountable for the whole thing. That's how projects stay on budget and on schedule.
And because we're a division of Load Bearing Wall Pros, we bring structural engineering capability that other remodelers simply can't offer. When your project needs a beam where a wall used to be, we don't call someone — we are someone.
