Home Remodeling for Irving Heights Homes
Irving Heights is what Google Maps calls this part of east Irving along East Union Bower Road, just west of Loop 12. It includes older homes that may need updates inside and out. Homes here vary in age, so tell us when yours was built and which rooms need work.
Original baths and kitchens wear out, and trim, paint and fences take a beating from Texas summers. We quote remodels for people who live in their homes, and rehabs for rental owners getting a house ready for the next tenant.
The ground is different here too. USDA maps show Axtell-Urban land soils in parts of the area, with a sandy top layer over clay that drains slowly. That matters for sod, fence posts and deck footings.

What Shapes the Work in Irving Heights
Three things drive most jobs here. The houses: Irving Heights includes older homes, and original baths, kitchens, trim and fences wear out with time. The owners: we quote for people who live in their homes and for rental owners between tenants. The ground and the weather: USDA maps show Axtell-Urban land soils in parts of the area, with a thin sandy top layer over clay that swells and shrinks. North Texas summers bring heat, hail and heavy rain.

Work We Quote in Irving Heights
Each item ties to older homes, rental turnovers, or the soil and weather here.
Original Baths and Kitchens
Older homes often need new tile, a shower remodel, a vanity, or new countertops and a backsplash.
Rental Turnovers
Between tenants, a rental may need paint, tile, trim, new fixtures and fence repair. We quote it as one job.
Fence Posts in Clay
In parts of this area, posts go through a thin sandy layer into clay that swells and shrinks. Mention any loose posts when you ask for a quote.
Paint That Faces the Sun
Hot summers and hail wear down exterior paint and stain. We repaint exterior walls, trim, doors and fences.
Older Trees Over Roofs
Older trees can grow out over roofs and fences. We trim limbs off roofs and remove trees that have to go.
Sandy Topsoil Over Slow-Draining Clay
USDA soil maps show Axtell-Urban land soils in parts of Irving Heights, including the area around Owenwood Drive. Axtell soils formed on old stream terraces. The top layer is a fine sandy loam, often only about 8 inches deep. Under it sits clay that swells when it gets wet and shrinks as it dries. Water moves through that clay very slowly.
Soil can vary from lot to lot. Where Axtell soil is present, the sandy top layer can fill up after a hard rain. Water moves slowly through the clay below, so low spots may stay wet. Fence posts and deck footings sit in that clay, which moves with the wet and dry seasons. Tell us about wet spots and loose posts when you ask for a quote.
- Sod and beds: shape beds so water runs away from the house, not toward it.
- Fences: old posts the clay has worked loose can need resetting or replacing.
- Decks: plan footings for ground that shifts between wet and dry months.

My house is decades old. Where should I start?
Start with what is wearing out. In older homes, that is often the bathroom: old tile, a tired tub or shower, and a dated vanity. Kitchens come next, with new countertops and a backsplash. Text or call with your list. We chat on the phone, take a look at the job, and send a free quote.
I own a rental in Irving Heights. Do you do rehabs between tenants?
Yes. Investment property rehabs are part of our general contracting work. Between tenants we can paint, replace tile, fix trim, swap fixtures and vanities, repair the fence and clean up the yard. Send the address and your list, and we will take a look and send a free quote.
Why does my yard stay soggy after a hard rain?
Soil may be part of it. USDA maps show Axtell-Urban land soils in parts of this area: a thin layer of sandy loam over clay. Water moves slowly through that clay, so low spots may stay wet after rain. Before new sod or beds, watch where water sits after a storm and plan beds so water drains away from the house.
Why do fences lean in this part of Irving?
Where posts go through a sandy top layer into clay, the clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry. Over the years, that movement can work posts loose, and old wood posts can rot at the ground line. We repair fences, replace bad posts, pickets or whole sections, and offer fence staining.
Is there an HOA in Irving Heights?
We did not find a homeowners association for Irving Heights, but that alone does not mean a lot is free of private rules. Deed restrictions can be recorded on a lot even where no HOA exists. Look over your deed and title papers before you change a fence, outside paint or the yard layout, and follow City of Irving rules too.
When should I trim the trees in my yard?
For oaks, timing matters. The Texas A&M Forest Service advises against pruning oaks from February through June to help prevent oak wilt, and says fresh cuts on oaks should be painted. Most other trees can be trimmed through much of the year. After a storm, broken limbs hanging over a roof or driveway should come down soon, whatever the month.
