Whole-Home Remodeling
Colony originals often need the kitchen, floors, and primary suite in the same season. We phase the work so the house gets done once, correctly, instead of room by room over five years.

Why Colony Homes Need One Contractor, Not Five
Who is a general contractor I can hire in The Colony, TX?
The JBN Group. We are a family-owned Denton contractor managing remodels and additions in The Colony. One team handles design, permits, trades, and inspections, and the company is fully insured. Reach us at 469-312-0990 for an in-home consultation.
Much of The Colony was built in the 1980s and 1990s, when the city first filled in along SH 121. Those homes now need full kitchen rebuilds, opened floor plans, and systems work their original builders never planned for.
Newer neighborhoods tell a different story. In Austin Ranch, The Tribute, and Stewart Peninsula, owners love the location and the lake access, and they hire a contractor to make the house match it.
Before construction begins, we review the existing home, proposed work, property conditions, structural considerations, and the trades involved.
- Project coordination: multiple trades organized around one remodeling plan
- Permit review: requirements reviewed for the property and scope
- Structural planning: layout and framing changes evaluated before construction
- One primary contractor: one point of contact for the overall project

The work we manage
What Our General Contracting Covers in The Colony
Three kinds of projects, one accountable builder. Here is how Colony homeowners put us to work.
Kitchen Remodeling
In Lewisville the kitchen usually shows the home's age first: closed-off 1980s and 90s layouts, short on storage and light. We open what the structure allows, reset cabinets, counters, and lighting, and shape the room around how your household cooks and gathers.
See our home remodeling work in The Colony →Home Additions
Room to grow on some of the area's larger, older lots: primary suites, second stories, bigger kitchens, home offices. We resolve roofline, foundation, and setbacks, plus Old Town or HOA constraints, before plans go final.
Design and Build
Bearing walls come down, additions tie in, and electrical, plumbing, and HVAC move together. These are the jobs where sequencing, not just skill, decides whether it finishes on time.
One contract covers the whole job
When the plumber blames the electrician and both blame the painter, your project stalls and your phone rings. With JBN there is one contract and one manager, so a problem has exactly one owner: us.
From the lake to SH 121
Contracting in Stewart Peninsula, Austin Ranch & The Tribute
The Colony's older streets sit close to Lewisville Lake, in neighborhoods like Stewart Creek and the original subdivisions off Main Street. Those homes reward a contractor who checks foundations, drainage, and old cast-iron plumbing before quoting finishes.
Austin Ranch and The Tribute homes are newer, built to builder templates. Owners call your General Contractor The Colony TX when they want the personal version: opened kitchens, real mudrooms, and rooms added where the plan wasted space.
Either way, the process starts at your kitchen table with measurements and honest talk about budget, then moves to drawings you can actually read.
The JBN Group serves The Colony and surrounding North Texas communities.
Does The Colony require permits for remodeling work?
Yes. The Colony's Building Inspections Department reviews plans for structural, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical changes before issuing a permit, and responses typically take 10 to 15 business days. We submit digitally and track the review until approval lands.
Permits and property requirements
The Colony Permits & Plan Review
The Colony permits residential work through its Building Inspections Department under the 2024 international building codes. Applications and plan sets go in as PDFs, the city collects its application fee, and review runs about 10 to 15 business days.
We build review time into the schedule, answer plan comments, and book rough and final inspections as each trade finishes. The permit card stays posted by the front door until the city signs the final inspection.
The JBN Group reviews the project scope and discusses applicable permit and property requirements as part of the planning process.

Questions The Colony homeowners ask
Questions Colony homeowners ask
What does it cost to hire a general contractor in The Colony?
Scope decides it. Colony projects with us start as low as $10,000 for focused work, while whole-home renovations and additions run higher based on size, structure, and finishes. Older lake-area homes sometimes need system repairs inside the walls, and we price those honestly after a walkthrough instead of guessing over the phone. Get a written estimate: 469-312-0990
What jobs does a general contractor take off my plate?
All of them. Design coordination, permits, trade scheduling, material ordering, inspections, and cleanup run through us. Instead of interviewing six companies and refereeing their schedules, you deal with one manager who knows the whole job.
How long does a typical Colony remodel or addition take?
Kitchens take roughly four to eight weeks once construction starts. Additions run longer, usually three to five months including inspections, and whole-home work depends on how much of the house is open at once. Plan review with the city adds lead time before day one, and we count it in your schedule.
Do I have to pull permits myself in The Colony?
No. We submit your plans to the Building Inspections Department, pay the application fee, respond to review comments, and schedule every inspection. The Colony reviews most residential plans within 10 to 15 business days, and we keep you posted while it happens.
Can my family stay in the home during a big remodel?
Usually, yes. We isolate the work area, protect floors, and keep dust down with barriers and ventilation. For kitchen work we help you set up a temporary cooking station. If a phase truly requires you out for a few days, we tell you well ahead of time.
Who shows up to do the work, your own people or hired subs?
Our own crews handle the core construction, and longtime trade partners handle plumbing, electrical, and HVAC under our direction. Nobody works in your home unless we scheduled them, vetted them, and stand behind their work.
Do you help with design and picking finishes?
Yes. Design and planning are part of the job with JBN. We draw the layout, walk you through cabinet, counter, and fixture choices, and price each option so the budget stays real. Structural changes get engineering review arranged through us.
What is the first step to get my project quoted?
Call 469-312-0990. We will schedule a visit to your Colony home, measure, talk through what you want, and follow up with a written scope and price. The consultation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
