Residential remodeling is the comprehensive process of updating, reconfiguring, or expanding a home to better suit its owners’ lifestyle. For homeowners in Fort Worth, this often involves modernizing historic properties in the Near Southside or updating 1990s builds in Keller and Southlake. At The Rockaway Company, we specialize in full-service renovations that transform your house into a functional and beautiful home that will last for decades.
We don’t just patch walls or replace tile. We take a holistic view of your property. From structural changes that open up floor plans to energy-efficient upgrades that lower your utility bills, our team manages every detail.

Our Core Residential Services
We offer a full range of renovation services tailored to homes in Tarrant County.
Whole-Home Renovations
Sometimes, a single room update is not enough. If your home feels small, dark, or disjointed, a whole-home remodel is the solution. We can reconfigure your layout to create the open sightlines that modern families love. This often involves removing load-bearing walls, upgrading electrical systems, and installing new flooring throughout the residential interiors of your home.
Kitchen and Bath Transformations
The kitchen and bathroom are the two rooms that offer the highest return on investment. Whether you need a chef-inspired cooking space or a spa-like master retreat, we handle the complex plumbing and electrical work these projects require. You can explore our specific services for kitchen remodeling and bathroom remodeling to see how we blend function with luxury.
Exterior Facelifts and Curb Appeal
Your home should look as good on the outside as it does on the inside. We upgrade dated facades with new siding, windows, and entryways. These improvements not only boost curb appeal but also protect your home from the harsh Texas weather. Learn more about our approach to residential exteriors and outdoor living spaces.
Aging in Place and Accessibility
We believe you should be able to live in your home forever. As Certified Aging-in-Place Specialists (CAPS), we can subtly modify your home to be safer and more comfortable. This might include widening doorways, installing curbless showers, or adding ramps that blend seamlessly with your landscape. Our accessibility remodeling services ensure your home adapts to your changing needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between renovation and remodeling?
While people often use the words interchangeably, there is a technical difference. Renovation typically refers to restoring a home to a good state of repair, such as painting, refacing cabinets, or installing new light fixtures. Remodeling involves changing the structure or form of the space, such as moving walls, adding square footage, or completely changing the layout of a kitchen. The Rockaway Company handles both.
How much does a whole-home remodel cost in Fort Worth?
The cost varies widely based on the scope of work and the finishes you select. A cosmetic update might cost significantly less than a project involving structural changes and luxury materials. Generally, whole-home projects in Fort Worth can range from $250,000 to over $450,000. We provide a detailed estimate during the design phase so you know exactly where your money is going.
Do I need to move out during a major remodel?
For a whole-house renovation where we are touching every room, it is often safer and more comfortable for you to move out temporarily. However, if we are remodeling your home in phases, you can often stay. We set up dust barriers and designated work zones to minimize disruption to your daily life.
How long does a typical residential remodel take?
A single room remodel might take 4 to 6 weeks, while a whole-home renovation can take 3 to 4 months or longer. Factors like permitting, material availability, and the complexity of the design all impact the timeline. We prioritize planning and design upfront to create a realistic schedule that we stick to.
