Swanson Renovations — Luxury Design and Build

Old Keller

Design-build kitchen, bath, primary-suite, and whole-home remodeling for Old Keller homes. The historic core of Keller — original 1970s-1990s homes where an addition has to respect the existing roof pitch, materials, and proportion.

Home vintages
Original 1970s-1990s homes in Keller's historic core, largely without an active HOA, though some blocks see Historic Preservation attention on exterior changes.
Typical scope
Kitchen and primary bath remodels on original homes; additions and second-story builds that respect the existing roofline, materials, and proportion rather than fighting them; whole-home renovations that update a decades-old interior top to bottom.

Why Old Keller is a different kind of problem — the good kind.

Old Keller is the city’s original neighborhood, built out largely between the 1970s and 1990s, before HOAs and architectural review boards became standard across the corridor. That means fewer procedural hoops, but it also means a different design challenge: matching an addition or remodel to a home whose roofline, proportions, and materials were never designed with modern additions in mind.

The two projects we build most in Old Keller.

The addition that respects the original house.

Second-story additions and primary suite extensions on 1970s-1990s homes require matching an existing roof pitch, sourcing compatible exterior materials, and getting the proportion right — or the addition reads as an obvious add-on instead of something that belongs. Budget: $250,000-$450,000 for a primary suite addition. Timeline: 16-24 weeks.

The full interior update.

Original Old Keller homes are often 30-50 years past their last major update — kitchens, baths, and systems all wanting attention at once. Budget: $175,000-$400,000 for a kitchen, $90,000-$230,000 for a primary bath, or from $700,000 for a coordinated whole-home renovation.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work in Old Keller?
Yes — Old Keller is Keller's original neighborhood, and we've built kitchens, primary baths, and additions on its 1970s-1990s housing stock since 2007. It's exactly the kind of problem we enjoy: matching an addition to an existing roofline and proportion instead of building something that looks bolted on.
Does Old Keller require HOA review for a remodel?
Much of Old Keller has no HOA at all. Some blocks do see Historic Preservation attention on exterior changes, so we check the specific property before assuming either way. City of Keller permits are required regardless, and we pull all of them.
What does a remodel cost in Old Keller?
The same Keller bands as the rest of the city: kitchen remodels $175,000-$400,000, primary bath remodels $90,000-$230,000, primary suite additions $250,000-$450,000, whole-home renovations from $700,000. Older homes sometimes carry more structural and systems work than a 2010s build, which we scope honestly in the first walk-through.
How do you handle additions on an older Old Keller home?
Carefully, on the exterior. An addition on a 1970s-1990s home has to respect the original roof pitch, materials, and proportion, or it reads as an obvious add-on. We match rooflines, source compatible materials, and design additions that look like they were always part of the house.
Do you provide 3D renderings, or do I need to bring my own drawings?
Yes — every Swanson estimate includes 3D renderings of your project as part of the design phase, so you can see the finished space before a single wall comes down. If you're working with a designer who needs an extra hand, we also draft floor plans and renderings in-house. If you don't have a designer yet, we can develop the drawings ourselves or introduce you to one we trust.
