By 512 Remodeling Construction & Design
There’s something special about older homes in Leander and Cedar Park. Many were built in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, when these areas began their explosive growth. These homes often sit on larger lots, have mature trees, and are located in quiet, established neighborhoods—something you don’t always find with new construction.
But if you’ve ever walked into one of these homes, you’ve probably seen the dated fixtures, boxy layouts, worn carpet, and golden oak cabinets that scream another era. That’s where we come in.
At 512 Remodeling Construction & Design, we specialize in transforming outdated homes into modern dream spaces—without losing their character. Our full home remodels combine smart design, high-quality craftsmanship, and local expertise to help you fall in love with your home again.
🧱 Why Remodel Instead of Move?
With the current real estate market in Central Texas, many homeowners are choosing to remodel instead of relocate. Here’s why:
-
New construction homes are often smaller and closer together.
-
Interest rates have risen, making new mortgages more expensive.
-
You already love your location. Maybe it’s your kids’ school zone, your neighbors, or the commute.
-
You want a home that reflects your personal taste—not a builder-grade layout with minimal customization.
A remodel gives you the chance to reconfigure your home for the way you actually live, with modern comforts, open spaces, and efficient design that boosts both style and function.

Real Costs: Leander vs. Cedar Park
While costs can vary by design, materials, and the scope of work, here’s a general comparison of remodeling project pricing in Leander and Cedar Park:
| Project Type | Average Cost (Leander) | Average Cost (Cedar Park) |
