Trusted General Contractor for Fort Worth Homeowners
Finding a Fort Worth General Contractor who will write down the price before work starts and then leave your house cleaner than they found it isn’t the norm. It’s the standard Elmstead Remodeling has held since 2005, led by Graham Stein, and it’s what families across Tarrant County call us for when a kitchen, bathroom, or whole-home remodel has to go right. We show up with shoe covers at the door and drop cloths on the floors, we use quiet tools during nap and school hours where the schedule allows, and we hand you a written price before any tear-out begins. If you’re weighing a kitchen remodel in Arlington Heights or a bathroom update in Wedgwood, call (682) 708-9180 and talk to a live person, any hour, any day.
Construction Company
A Construction Company handles the planning, permits, subcontractor scheduling, materials, and daily site management for residential remodeling projects that involve multiple trades. You need one when a project can’t be completed by a single specialist, when a wall is moving, when electrical and plumbing must be coordinated, or when the work requires a permit and inspections. Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth provides general contracting for bathroom remodeling, kitchen remodeling, and whole-home remodeling, with kitchen remodels running $14,000 – $45,000 and bathrooms $9,000 – $28,000 in the Fort Worth market. Our role is to keep the project on schedule with one point of contact, one written price, and one crew accountable for the outcome.
Single Point of Contact
You won’t juggle calls from three different trades. Graham Stein and our project management team run the schedule, the materials, and the inspections, and you get one number to call with questions. That number is answered by a live person 24/7.
Permits and Inspections
Fort Worth requires permits for most structural, electrical, and plumbing changes, and skipping them creates liability for the homeowner. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and keep the paper trail organized so the job is legal, safe, and ready for resale.
Styles & brands we work with
Remodeling Contractor
A Remodeling Contractor transforms existing rooms rather than building new ones: gutting a dated bathroom, reconfigured cabinet layouts in a kitchen, widening a doorway, replacing surfaces and fixtures. You need one when the footprint is changing, when finishes and fixtures from different manufacturers must coordinate, or when the work will disrupt family routines for weeks. Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth manages the entire process from first drawings to the final walkthrough, with a written price before any demolition. In Fort Worth, small bathroom remodels typically run $5,000 – $12,000, while a full kitchen remodel lands between $14,000 and $45,000 depending on material selections and layout complexity.
Family-Aware Scheduling
We plan around your household, not the other way around. Quiet tools during children’s sleep hours, work phases that keep one bathroom operational, and a daily clean-up that means your kids aren’t stepping over debris when they get home from school.
Fixed Written Pricing
The number we quote is the number you pay. Every project starts with a written price covering materials, labor, and our project management, and we don’t return halfway through with a change-order for something we should have caught in the first walkthrough.
Licensed General Contractor
A Licensed General Contractor is a state-licensed professional qualified to pull permits, arrange inspections, and hold subcontractor work to a legal and code-compliant standard. You need one for any remodel that touches structure, electrical, plumbing, or load-bearing walls in Fort Worth, where the city requires licensed oversight for permitted work. Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth brings licensed general contracting to bathroom and kitchen remodels, garage conversions starting at $30,000, and home additions starting at $45,000. Our crew is background-checked and uniformed, so when someone walks through your front door in the morning, you know exactly who they are and why they’re there.
Code Compliance as the Baseline
Passing inspection isn’t our goal; it’s the floor. Every remodel we run in Fort Worth is built to current city code, and because we schedule and attend every inspection, any correction is handled before it becomes a delay.
Accountability That Outlasts the Job
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every completed project. If something wasn’t done right, we make it right, for a full year after the final cleanup photo is taken.
Residential General Contractor
A Residential General Contractor specializes in occupied homes rather than commercial properties, which means the work has to fit around real life: kids doing homework, pets underfoot, and a family sleeping three rooms away. You need one when the project must be scheduled in phases, when site cleanliness matters as much as the final result, and when the crew needs to respect quiet hours. Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth has focused exclusively on residential work since founding in 2005, and our process reflects it. Cabinet installation in a Fort Worth kitchen runs $4,000 – $13,000, countertops $2,000 – $6,500, and a tub-to-shower conversion $3,500 – $10,000.
Protecting Your Floors and Your Air
Drop cloths go down before equipment comes in, and shoe covers are worn at the door every single visit. We choose pet-safe products where there is a choice, because your dog will investigate the work zone no matter how well you guard it.
Cleanup Proof, Every Day
Before the crew leaves, we take a photo of the clean-up and add it to your project file. You get to see, not trust, that the house was left the way we promised.
Hire a General Contractor
When you Hire a General Contractor, you’re hiring one company to be responsible for the entire remodel: the schedule, the subcontractors, the material deliveries, the permits, and the final result. You do it when the project involves multiple trades or when you don’t have the time or expertise to manage a project yourself. Elmstead Remodeling Fort Worth takes that weight off your shoulders, one written price at a time. In the Fort Worth market, a walk-in shower installation runs $4,500 – $12,000, a full bathroom remodel $9,000 – $28,000, and a whole-home remodel is priced per project after a detailed walkthrough.
What You Should Look For
Ask for a written price before agreeing to anything, proof of insurance, and a defined warranty period. If a contractor won’t put the number on paper, walk away.
The Questions We Ask First
Before we quote anything, we ask about your family’s daily rhythm: nap schedules, work-from-home hours, pets that need a closed door. That’s how we build a schedule that works around real life in Fort Worth, not a generic timeline.

General Contractor Services cover the full scope of a residential remodel: demolition, rough framing, drywall, plumbing, electrical, tiling, cabinetry, countertops, and finish work, all coordinated under one company’s responsibility.

Brands We Service
KraftMaid cabinetry appears in many Fort Worth kitchens, and we measure, order, and install it to the manufacturer’s published specs. That means a warranty that holds up, plus installation tolerances that keep doors and drawer fronts aligned five years after the install. Wellborn cabinets are a common choice for families who want a wider range of door styles and finishes, and our team works with Wellborn’s order system to get the exact configuration quoted before it ships.
Cambria quartz countertops are specified on many of our kitchen remodels, and we template, fabricate, and install them with seams planned around the slab pattern, not the other way around. Whether you have KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, or any other make, we can help.

- Water stains on the ceiling below an upstairs bathroom. This usually means a failing shower pan or supply line behind the wall. By the time it shows on drywall, the leak has been active for weeks.
- Cabinets pulling away from the wall or counters sloping. Movement usually indicates water damage or failing fasteners. Either one only gets worse, and the repair gets more expensive the longer it waits.
- Visible mold or persistent musty smell in the bathroom. Fort Worth’s humidity makes bathrooms a common place for hidden moisture problems. Ignoring it risks the framing behind the tile, not just the surface.
- Cracked tiles or grout that won’t stay sealed. Cracked floor tile in a kitchen or bathroom often signals movement in the subfloor. Replacing the tile without addressing the movement means doing the job twice.
- Doors or windows that suddenly won’t open or close cleanly. This can point to foundation movement, a common reality in parts of Fort Worth built on expansive clay soil. A general contractor can assess whether the issue is structural or cosmetic before you spend money on the wrong fix.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Walkthrough and questions. We walk the space with you and ask how your family actually uses it: where the kids do homework, where the dog sleeps, what time quiet hours start. We measure, photograph, and take notes. Then we go build your written estimate.
- 2
Written price and scope. You receive a detailed, written price before you commit to anything. It covers materials, labor, project management, and clean-up. If a line item isn’t clear, we walk you through it until it is.
- 3
Design and material selection. We help you choose cabinets, countertops, and fixtures from named brands with manufacturer warranties. You’ll see physical samples before you choose, and we order everything against a confirmed specification sheet.
- 4
The build, managed daily. Our crew arrives on schedule, with a daily clean-up that includes the photo of the space before they leave. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and keep you updated on progress without making you chase anyone for answers.
- 5
Final walkthrough and warranty activation. We walk the finished space with you, address anything not right, and then your 365-Day Done Right Promise begins. For a year after the final cleanup photo, if something wasn’t done right, we make it right.

What moves the price: structural changes versus cosmetic updates, the cabinet and countertop brands selected, whether plumbing and electrical must relocate, and the condition of the existing subfloor and framing. Tear-out sometimes reveals issues that can’t be seen behind walls, which is why we write a detailed scope from the start and talk through any discovery before it becomes a cost.
To avoid overpaying, get a written price from any contractor you’re seriously considering, and compare the scope line by line, not just the bottom number. Our free estimates include a written, line-item quote so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. Call (682) 708-9180 to schedule yours.
