Remodeling and renovation across Arlington
Anaya's Touch is based in Arlington, so this is home ground - kitchens, bathrooms, additions, patio covers, roofing, painting and the repairs underneath, in every Arlington ZIP. Two things set a job here: when the house was built, and how much the ground under it has moved. Free on-site estimates.
What Arlington houses have to deal with
Three Arlingtons, three different jobs
Arlington grew in distinct waves and each one remodels differently. North Arlington, around the older neighborhoods east and west of downtown and out toward UT Arlington, holds a good deal of 1950s and 1960s housing - smaller rooms, original hardwood under carpet, and a real chance of lead paint under federal rules. Central and east Arlington is largely 1960s to 1980s brick ranch and split-level, which is where most of the kitchen-wall-removal and bathroom work happens. South Arlington and the newer subdivisions toward Mansfield are 1990s onward: bigger, two-storey, and now hitting the age where builder-grade kitchens, baths and roofs all come due at once.
The ground here moves, and the house tells you
Arlington sits on the expansive clays that run under most of the Metroplex. They swell when they take water and shrink in drought, and the slab follows them. Indoors that shows up as diagonal cracks off door and window corners, doors that stick in one season and swing in another, and gaps opening between ceiling and wall. Outside it is stair-step cracking in brick mortar. It matters before you spend money on a room: if the movement is still active, a filled crack reopens, and the honest answer is to say so rather than take the job twice.
Hail, and the roofs it keeps replacing
Tarrant County sits in one of the most hail-prone corridors in the United States, and roof age here is measured in storms rather than years. Hail damage is usually bruising rather than a hole - the shingle mat fractures and the protective granules come off, and the roof then degrades over the next two or three summers. After a significant storm it is worth having the roof looked at even when nothing is visibly wrong, and worth being careful with the crews that appear in the neighborhood the following week.
Permits, and why we pull them
Arlington requires permits and inspections for additions, structural work, and electrical, plumbing and mechanical work, and Texas licenses the plumbers and electricians who do it even though it does not license general contractors. All of that is handled as part of the job here. A contractor who offers to skip the permit is saving their own schedule; the cost lands on you at resale, or at a claim.
What we do in Arlington
Every job starts with a free on-site visit, so the quote reflects the property rather than a guess over the phone — and the number in it is the whole number. Eduardo has been remodeling and painting homes across the Metroplex since 2016.
Arlington remodeling questions
Do you cover the whole of Arlington?
Yes - every ZIP, from the older neighborhoods around downtown and UT Arlington to the Entertainment District, east Arlington, and the south Arlington subdivisions out toward Mansfield.
My house is from the 1960s. Is that a problem for a remodel?
Not at all - it is most of the work here. It does change what gets checked first: original wiring and plumbing, whether a wall you want removed is carrying load, texture that has to be matched rather than patched flat, and lead paint if the house predates 1978. All of that belongs in the estimate rather than being found mid-job.
Can you handle a full renovation while we live in the house?
Yes, and most Arlington projects are done that way. It works when it is planned: dust walls sealed at the openings, a defined route in and out for materials, utilities kept live except for scheduled tie-ins, and the work zone cleaned at the end of each day.
