Whole-home renovation in Wimberley: lights, flood maps and permits
A whole-house job here touches rules a single room never meets.
- Wimberley Valley became a dark sky community in 2018. When a renovation costs more than 25% of the home’s value, outdoor fixtures that break the city’s lighting rule have to be replaced.
- A permit application must include an outdoor lighting plan. New bulbs can be no warmer than 3000K, and fixtures over 1,500 lumens must be shielded so light points down.
- Many Wimberley homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s. The median year built in the city is 1994 (Census ACS 2024 5-year).
- The Memorial Day 2015 flood sent the Blanco River up about 36 feet in four hours. FEMA’s new Hays County flood maps took effect January 17, 2025, so a riverside home gets a floodplain check first.
- City permit fees since October 1, 2025 include $50 to apply, $75 for plan review and $55 per inspection.
Planning a whole-home job in Wimberley
We walk the house with you and list what stays and what goes. A house from the 1980s or 1990s may need new wiring, plumbing or heating and cooling along with new rooms. Our in-house design team draws the plan, and you get one itemized quote for the whole house.
We pick outdoor fixtures that fit the dark sky rule and put the lighting plan in the permit file. If the home sits near the river, we look at the new flood maps before anything else.
What moves the price
The number of rooms, moved walls, the kitchen and baths, and the systems behind the walls move the price most.

Whole-home renovation in Wimberley: questions we hear
What does a whole-home renovation cost in Wimberley?
Our posted estimates run from about $100,000 to $500,000. The number of rooms, the systems you replace and your finishes decide where you land. The free consultation ends with an itemized quote.
Do I have to change my outdoor lights during a renovation?
If the renovation costs more than 25% of the home’s value, the city’s lighting rule says fixtures that do not conform must be replaced. New bulbs can be no warmer than 3000K.
My home flooded in 2015. Can you renovate it?
Yes. We start with the current flood maps, which took effect January 17, 2025, and the city’s floodplain permit. Those decide what the rebuild must meet.
Do I need a third-party inspector outside city limits?
Hays County does not inspect single-family work, so a third-party inspector is required on county jobs that need inspection. Inside city limits, the city inspects.
