What Remodeling Costs in Plano
Plano sits in a competitive remodeling market within DFW. Labor costs are similar to Flower Mound and Frisco. Here are realistic ranges for common projects in Plano:
| Project | Typical Plano Range |
|---|---|
| Kitchen remodel (full, mid-range) | $25,000–$50,000 |
| Bathroom remodel (full, mid-range) | $10,000–$25,000 |
| Walk-in shower conversion | $5,000–$14,000 |
| Whole home remodel (kitchen + 2 baths + flooring) | $65,000–$120,000 |
West Plano (75093, 75024) tends to run on the higher end of these ranges due to larger home sizes and higher homeowner expectations around finishes. East Plano (75074, 75075) often runs closer to mid-range. We quote based on actual scope, not zip code.
Permit Requirements in Plano
The City of Plano Building Inspections department requires permits for any remodeling work involving plumbing changes, electrical work, or structural modifications. Cosmetic work—replacing fixtures, installing flooring over existing substrate, painting—typically does not require a permit.
Common Plano projects that require permits: walk-in shower conversion (plumbing change), kitchen remodel with new electrical circuits or gas line work, any wall removal, and HVAC modifications. Modern Blu handles permit applications on all projects where they are required.

What to Expect from a Plano Remodeling Project
Most of the homes we remodel in Plano were built between 1985 and 2005. Kitchens from this era typically have builder-grade oak cabinetry, laminate or tile countertops, and layouts designed around appliances that are now two or three generations old. Bathrooms often have original cultured marble surrounds, builder vanities, and flooring that was never meant to last 30 years.
The good news: these homes have solid bones. The layout decisions made in the 1990s were usually sensible, and keeping the same footprint while updating finishes and fixtures delivers outstanding results at a fraction of the cost of moving or buying new.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Plano?
A mid-range kitchen remodel in Plano typically runs 4–8 weeks from demo to completion. Permit approval through the City of Plano generally takes 1–2 weeks. Semi-custom cabinet lead times run 3–6 weeks, so total time from contract to move-in is often 8–14 weeks.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel in Plano?
For most full bathroom remodels, yes. Any work involving plumbing relocation, new electrical circuits, or structural changes requires a City of Plano permit. We handle the permitting process for all applicable projects.
What is the best way to update a 1990s kitchen in Plano?
The highest-value moves in a 1990s Plano kitchen are typically: replacing the cabinets (or at minimum refacing them), upgrading to quartz or stone countertops, updating the lighting from fluorescent to recessed LED, and installing a kitchen backsplash. If the layout allows it, opening the kitchen to the living area is the single biggest transformation in homes of this era.
How much does a walk-in shower cost in Plano?
A tub-to-shower conversion in Plano typically runs $5,000–$14,000 depending on the size of the space, tile selection, and whether you add a built-in niche, bench, or frameless glass enclosure. A frameless glass door adds $1,500–$4,000 to the total. We can give you a specific number after a 30-minute in-home consultation.
