2. How Long Does a Remodel Take?

Timelines vary based on project type, complexity, and material lead times. At Olio we always look to optimize all angles of your project to finish your project as soon as possible. We provide a clear timeline up front—no surprises. We also work hard to minimize any disruption to your daily life:

3. What Makes Remodeling in Dallas Unique?

Dallas has qualities you must plan around:

• Expansive clay soil → causes foundation movement

• Older neighborhoods → outdated wiring, plumbing, framing

• Rapid growth → material lead times can fluctuate

• HOA-controlled communities → stricter design guidelines

This is why picking a contractor who understands Dallas conditions is crucial.
