Whole-home renovation in Dripping Springs: the rules that shape the plan
A big job meets more of the local rules than a single room does. These are the ones we plan around.
- Every project inside the city limits or its ETJ gets a Planning Department review, even when no city building permit is needed.
- The city can take up to 5 business days just to accept an application, so that time goes on the schedule first.
- In unincorporated Hays County, rebuilding the inside of a house that sits outside the floodplain needs no county development permit. In the floodplain, even interior work may need one.
- Dripping Springs has had an outdoor lighting rule since 2000. New outdoor lights should point down and be shielded, and putting up more than 2,500 lumens of outdoor light in 90 days needs a city permit.
- After the May 4, 2025 floods, the city let the mayor cut or waive residential permit fees for flood repairs. Ask whether that relief is still open before you budget.
Planning a whole-home job in Dripping Springs
A whole-home renovation touches walls, wiring, plumbing, heating and cooling, floors and finishes. We walk the house with you and list what stays and what goes. Our in-house design team draws the plan, and you get one itemized quote for the whole house.
Then we set the order of work. Outdoor lights get picked with the city’s dark sky rule in mind, and the review time goes on the calendar before the crew is booked.
What moves the price
Moving walls, redoing the kitchen and baths, and the number of rooms you touch move the price the most. Finishes come next. That is why the posted range is wide.

Whole-home renovation in Dripping Springs: questions we hear
What does a whole-home renovation cost in Dripping Springs?
Our posted estimates run from about $100,000 to $500,000. Where you land depends on how many rooms you touch and the finishes you pick. The free consultation ends with an itemized quote.
I live in the ETJ. Does the city still review my project?
Yes. Dripping Springs gives projects in the city limits and in its ETJ a Planning Department review, even when no city building permit is needed.
Do the dark sky rules apply to my new outdoor lights?
Inside the city, yes. Lights should be shielded and aimed down, and a large batch of new outdoor lighting needs a permit. We pick fixtures that fit the rule.
Can we live in the house during the work?
Often not for the whole job. When the kitchen and baths are out at the same time, many families move out for that stretch. We plan the order of work with you.
