A-103Remodel & Build
One team and one schedule for every room, from foundation to final coat
A mid-range whole-home remodel in Lubbock runs about $50 to $100 per square foot in 2026, or roughly $100,000 to $200,000 for a 2,000 square foot house. We plan structure, systems, and finishes as one project, starting with a free foundation inspection, and deliver a written quote itemized by room and trade. Healthy living and smart home systems go in while the walls are open, when they cost the least.
01Why Nextgen Blueprint
We start with the foundation, roof, plumbing, and electrical, because new floors and cabinets on a moving slab or a failing drain line are money spent twice. Foundation inspections are free.
Foundation repair, framing, systems, drywall, trim, paint, and flooring are one contract, so there is no gap between the crew that levels the slab and the one that fixes the cracked drywall.
Your quote breaks out each room and each trade with allowances in writing, so you can phase the work or trim scope without guessing what changes.
Whole-house water treatment, filtration, fresh-air ventilation, structured wiring, and lighting control cost far less to add during a remodel than after it.

03Site conditions
Note 01
Expansive clay moves Lubbock foundations through wet and dry cycles, and older slabs often show it as sticking doors and diagonal drywall cracks. We check the foundation first and repair it before finishes go in, so the new work does not crack in the first dry summer.
Note 02
Many older Lubbock homes still have galvanized or cast-iron plumbing and undersized electrical panels. A whole-home remodel is the time to repipe in PEX, check for under-slab leaks, and size the panel for a modern kitchen and HVAC system.
Note 03
Homes built before 1978 fall under EPA lead-safe renovation rules, and homes from that era can have asbestos in textured ceilings, old flooring, or joint compound. We test suspect materials before demolition and build any removal into the schedule.
Note 04
West Texas summers and dust storms punish leaky ducts and thin attic insulation. With the ceilings open, sealing ducts and adding insulation costs little compared with doing it later.
Whole-home remodel pricing follows scope, and per-square-foot figures are the easiest way to compare. For a typical Lubbock home, a cosmetic refresh of paint, flooring, lighting, and fixtures runs about $15 to $40 per square foot. A mid-range renovation that adds a new kitchen and baths and updates the systems runs about $50 to $100 per square foot, or $100,000 to $200,000 for a 2,000 square foot house. A full gut with layout changes runs $100 to $200 or more per square foot.
The kitchen and bathrooms carry the highest cost per square foot in the house, so how many of them you redo moves the total more than the size of the home. Our kitchen remodel and bathroom remodel pages break those rooms down. At the top of the range, compare the quote with building new: a full gut can approach the $140 to $220 per square foot it costs to build in Lubbock, which our cost to build guide covers.
The order of work decides whether a remodel lasts. We start every whole-home project with the parts you will not see at the end: the foundation, the roof, the plumbing, the electrical service, and the ductwork. On older Lubbock slabs it is common to find movement from the clay, a failing cast-iron drain, or a panel too small for a modern kitchen, and each of those is cheaper to fix before new floors and cabinets go in.
Because we handle foundation repair ourselves, the house gets leveled first, and then the same team restores the drywall, doors, and trim the movement damaged. A roof past about 15 years is worth replacing before interior work in hail country, and an electrical panel upgrade often belongs in the budget when you add induction cooking, an EV charger, or a larger HVAC system.
Many older Lubbock homes have a closed kitchen, a formal living room that rarely gets used, and a dining room in between. Opening that plan is one of the most requested parts of a whole-home remodel. Removing a wall that is not load-bearing is modest work. Removing a load-bearing wall means an engineered beam, temporary shoring, and a permit, and the wall and beam alone typically run $4,000 to $10,000.
The finished conversion usually lands between $10,000 and $30,000, because the wall is only part of the job. The floor under the old wall has to be patched, or the whole space refloored so it reads as one room. Ceiling texture, lighting, outlets, and any HVAC returns in the wall have to move. We plan those items with the beam so the new space looks designed rather than demolished.
Most whole-home remodels take three to six months, with cosmetic projects closer to one to three months and full guts six to twelve. Whether you can stay depends on scope. With one working bathroom and a temporary kitchen, many families live through a phased remodel and move from one finished zone to the next. A full gut, or a remodel that shuts off water and power for days at a time, goes faster with the house empty.
If the plan needs more space, an addition can be phased in with the remodel. Additions in Lubbock typically run $175 to $400 per square foot, more per foot than new construction, because the new slab, roof, and systems have to tie into the old ones and the fixed costs land on a small footprint. Our home addition cost guide covers the numbers, and our instant estimate gives you a ballpark range for your scope in under a minute.
