Swanson Renovations — Luxury Design and Build

Neighborhood · Southlake, TX

Carillon

Design-build remodeling for Carillon homes in Southlake. We know the build vintage, the ARB process, and the refined-transitional direction most Carillon interiors are heading.

Home vintages
Primarily 2000-2010 custom builds, 3,800-7,500 sq ft, governed by an active homeowners' association and architectural review board.
Typical scope
Opening walled-off kitchens into the family room; refining Tuscan-heavy primary suites toward a lighter, more transitional palette; butler's pantry additions; whole-home renovations that update the interior vocabulary without fighting the neighborhood's traditional exterior standards.

Why we know Carillon.

Carillon is where we have the deepest project history in Southlake. The community’s 2000-2010 custom homes share a recognizable pattern — traditional and Tuscan exteriors, formal room layouts, kitchens walled off from the family room in a way that felt normal twenty years ago and closed-off today. We’ve opened enough of those walls to know exactly where the load-bearing points usually fall before we walk in the door.

The two projects we build most in Carillon.

The kitchen-to-family-room open-up.

The single most common Carillon remodel. Removing the load-bearing wall between kitchen and family room reunites two rooms that were never meant to feel separate — new sight lines, more natural light, a kitchen that’s part of the house’s real center of gravity instead of a room off to the side. Budget: $25,000-$55,000 on top of the kitchen scope itself. Timeline impact: 2-3 weeks.

The primary suite refresh.

Carillon primaries from the early 2000s carry the same pattern as the rest of the corridor’s build era — a corner whirlpool tub, a half-wall shower, a vanity without real task lighting. We rebuild toward a frameless walk-in shower or freestanding tub, furniture-style vanity millwork, and a reorganized closet. Budget: $95,000-$245,000 depending on scope. Timeline: 10-16 weeks.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work in Carillon?
Yes — Carillon is one of the neighborhoods we know best in Southlake, with the deepest project history of any community we serve. We've built kitchens, primary baths, and whole-home renovations throughout the community since 2007.
What does a Carillon kitchen remodel typically cost?
Most Carillon kitchen remodels we complete land in the $185,000-$425,000 range as of 2026. Carillon kitchens skew toward the higher end of that band more often than other Southlake neighborhoods, because the load-bearing wall between the kitchen and family room almost always needs to come out — that's $25,000-$55,000 in structural work most Carillon homes carry.
Does Carillon require ARB review for a remodel?
For interior-only remodels, usually not. If your scope touches the exterior — a bay window, an addition, a materials change visible from the street — Carillon's ARB reviews it, and we draft the submission package (elevations, site plan, materials board) as part of the contract. Typical cycle is 4-6 weeks.
What design direction works best for Carillon homes?
Carillon's original architectural vocabulary is Tuscan and traditional, with heavy millwork and dark cabinetry typical of the 2000-2010 build era. Most of our current Carillon projects move the interiors toward refined transitional — lighter palettes, simpler trim, a cleaner material vocabulary — while respecting the exterior's traditional character.
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.
