Plano – safe, affordable, and progressive – is one of the best cities to reside in Texas. Forbes magazine named it one of the safest cities in the nation, and it has one of the lowest unemployment rates, perhaps because a number of corporations – such as Pizza Hut, JCPenney, and FedEx – have headquarters there. The website livability.com named Plano one of the best cities to retire as Plano combines all of these advantages with warm Texas weather. 

The cost of living is slightly above the U.S. average, but Plano is still cheaper than its neighbor Dallas. The housing rates are a bit steep in Plano; its thriving corporate industry has populated the town with elegant, contemporary homes. These modern homes, of course, require maintenance and care. Finding the perfect contractor for a dream home is a tedious process, given the number of firms in the area. 

These 15 contractors are award winners with impressive, lengthy résumés of successfully completed projects. The list also tells you who is doing what, and the neighborhood where they are doing it. With this list in hand, you have 15 solid leads so that you can build or remodel your home,  and enjoy all that Plano has to offer.

If you are thinking about doing a construction project, we recommend checking each builder’s license with the local licensing board, speaking to past clients, and using our bidding system to get competitive quotes from at least 3 contractors. Getting multiple bids is the best way to ensure you get a fair price and that bids include the complete scope of work.

Servigon Construction

15264 Mountain View Ln., Frisco, TX 75035

An architecture by training, Eddie Servigon established Servigon Construction because he enjoyed the challenge of remodeling with the grain of the home’s current aesthetic. After all, if a colonial-style home needs a kitchen remodel, then a contemporary design will be aesthetically disruptive.  Eddie believes that every room of the home must complement the next; he seeks to bring balance and harmony to your residence. 

In an article by Home Upgrades Magazine, Eddie recalled that the firm’s renovation projects often come one after another; he would suggest simple changes to some rooms of the house, then his intrigued clients would eventually ask for a grander remodel.

The firm uses the existing elements of the home as focal points. They’ve used a worn-down brick wall of a Mid-Century Home, for instance, by painting the walls white and using simple traditional interiors. In addition to its basic remodeling services, Servigon Construction is also capable of historic home renovations and custom interiors.

Montgomery Contracting 

1116 Stratford Dr., Richardson, TX 75080

Its kitchen remodel designs are a mix of colonial and southwestern; the architecture of their walls are very formal and symmetrical, but it’s accented by rustic wood beams. Montgomery Contracting has won the 2016 Contractor of the Year for their residential kitchens and their southwestern style additions also won them a 2011 Contractor of the Year award. 

HomeCorp

14330 Midway Rd., Farmers Branch, TX 75244

Sandy Tabacinic established HomeCorp in 2009 because she was tired of working for a male-dominated industry. Sandy’s eye for design enables her to create one-of-a-kind designs for homeowners in North Dallas. One of the firm’s most memorable projects is a lake house renovation that has a wine cellar addition. Sandy put walnut wood cabinets in the cellar for a classic look, but the backlighting and glass pivot door entry gave it a modern touch. 

Sandy – and HomeCorp generally – are known for being building experts in North Dallas. Sandy often appears on CBS 11, Fox 4, and Good Morning Texas to share home remodeling tips to viewers across the state. And HomeCorp has had a lot of exposure in publications like Park Cities People Magazine, Collin County Business Press, and DFW Style Daily Magazine.

Tribute Kitchen and Bath

14425 Tradition Trail, Plano, TX 5093

The firm brings luxury into bathroom remodels by using marble tiles that are reminiscent of a spa, and their floating cabinets are accented by LED lights that illuminate the compartments of the cabinet. The firm likes using marble countertops for their kitchen remodels, which give their Craftsman-style designs that added touch of elegance. Their remodels have garnered them awards such as a Contractor of the Year (CoTY) award and an Associates, Remodelers, and Contractors (ARC) Award.

Pedigo Construction

The firm’s recent awards include winning a Contractor of the Year award from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry three times in a row and the 2016 Consumer’s Choice Award. Pedigo Construction has not only won the respect of Plano residents but has served Texas’s most famous resident, former president George Bush. 

The Blake Kitchen is the firm’s most recent award-winning project. Honed quartzite was used as accents for the modern kitchen. The hardwood flooring adds an element of warmth to the cool palate, a standard for transitional styling.

In addition to bathroom and kitchen remodeling, the firm is capable of more idiosyncratic home additions like laundry rooms and wine cellars. The firm believes every room of the house must work like a fine-tuned machine for the homeowner. So every one of their projects has unique features: floor tiles powered by carbonic floor heaters or hanging cabinets that are highlighted by LED under lighting.

USI Design & Remodeling

Two of the most seasoned principals in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Chris Chumbley and Gordon Zoellner, have been remodeling homes since 1983. During the ‘90s, they noticed that product expansions made renovations simpler and more generic. They decided to establish USI Design & Remodeling in 1996 to integrate a more thoughtful design process. They take a classic approach towards design; their remodels range from contemporary to farmhouse. All of their projects are polished and elegant so it should come as no surprise that their designs are often featured in publications such as D Home Magazine, House and Home Magazine, Dallas/Fort Worth House & Home Magazine and Professional Remodeler Magazine. Its founders are also accomplished past presidents of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI). The firm has won 23 local and national awards for excellence in remodeling design, including the 2018 Remodeler of the Year from Texas Association of Builders. 

An article from House and Home Magazine showcases the USI Design & Remodeling by showing how the firm managed to redefine a complicated bathroom floor plan. The LaFebres’ master bath used to have five unhinged doors that were unnecessary and occupied too much space. The firm simplified the room by keeping two swing doors that led to the bedroom and gracefully led into a walk-in closet as well. USI Design & Remodeling’s designs are in demand because they offer functional elegance that welcomes any homeowner or guest into the home.
