Home remodeling in Texas costs $85–$275 per square foot in 2026. Most Hill Country homeowners spend $15,000–$80,000 for mid-range whole-home renovations. Kitchen and bathroom remodels typically run $12,000–$45,000. Labor accounts for 40–60% of total project cost in the Burnet, Marble Falls, and Georgetown markets.
Home remodeling in Texas costs between $85 and $275 per square foot in 2026 — and in the Texas Hill Country, that number is shaped by factors most national cost calculators completely miss. Caliche soil conditions around Burnet and Lampasas can complicate foundation work. Limestone-block homes common to the region require specialized demolition skills. And summers that regularly hit 96°F mean projects scheduled from June through August often carry a 5–10% labor premium due to productivity slowdowns and OSHA heat-safety protocols. In our 7+ years building and remodeling across the Hill Country — from lakefront homes in Horseshoe Bay to ranch properties outside Bertram — TMB Construction has priced and completed hundreds of remodel scopes. We've watched material costs shift dramatically: 2×6 framing lumber that ran $0.55 per linear foot in 2020 climbed to $0.90–$1.10 by 2024 and has stabilized near $0.85–$0.95 going into 2026. Concrete flatwork sits at $6–$10 per square foot installed in Burnet County right now. These aren't national averages — these are the numbers we're quoting today. This guide breaks down every cost category you need to budget accurately: materials, labor, permits, hidden expenses, and seasonal timing. Whether you're planning a kitchen renovation in Marble Falls, adding a master suite in Liberty Hill, or doing a full gut-remodel on a 1970s ranch home in Kingsland, you'll leave this page knowing exactly what to expect — and how to avoid the cost surprises that derail most Texas remodeling projects.
