Whole-home renovation in West Lake Hills: the city’s rules
West Lake Hills checks more than the house. The trees and the rain off your roof count too.
- The median owner-occupied home in West Lake Hills is valued at $1,664,500, and the median year built is 1992 (Census ACS 2024 5-year).
- Every building permit comes with a drainage plan, reviewed by the City Engineer. A new drainage manual took effect May 18, 2026.
- You need a city permit before you remove trees or brush. Pruning live oaks and red oaks is banned from February 1 through June 30 because of oak wilt, and any cut, even from construction, must be painted right away.
- First review comments can take up to four weeks once the file is complete, and the city says large projects can take months.
- Each contractor on a job of $25,000 or more must register with the city and carry at least $600,000 in liability insurance.
Planning a whole-home job in Westlake
We walk the house with you and list what stays and what goes. Older homes here often need new wiring, plumbing or heating and cooling along with the new rooms, so we look behind the walls early. Our in-house design team draws the plan, and you get one itemized quote.
Then we build the city’s timeline into yours: the drainage plan, the review rounds and any tree work. If an oak has to be trimmed for the crew, we plan it for July through January.
What moves the price
The number of rooms, moved walls, the kitchen and baths, and what we find in an older house move the price most.
