Why Gainesville Homeowners Choose Bradshaw Builders for Remodeling
Whether you need a single room updated or a complete whole-house transformation, Bradshaw Builders is the remodeling contractor Sherman homeowners have trusted for over 40 years. We handle projects of every size — from opening up a floor plan and updating a master suite to full-scale remodels that make an older home feel brand new. Gainesville is the Cooke County seat and the gateway to some of the best rural building land in the Texoma region. Located about 32 miles west of our Sherman headquarters along US-82, Gainesville has the infrastructure of a county seat — hospital, courthouse, established retail — while being surrounded by ranch land, horse properties, and communities like Lake Kiowa.
Many homes in the Sherman and Texoma area were built decades ago with layouts that don't fit how families live today. Closed-off kitchens, small bathrooms, and dated finishes are common. Cooke County land tends toward sandy loam and red clay, which behaves differently than the heavy black clay east of I-35 — foundation requirements shift accordingly, and drainage considerations change. Most properties outside Gainesville city limits run on well water and septic, and Cooke County's permitting process is relatively straightforward compared to the cities farther south.

FAQ
Remodeling in Gainesville — Common Questions
How much does a home remodel cost in Sherman, TX?
Remodel costs vary widely based on scope. A single-room update might start at $15,000-$30,000, while a whole-house remodel can range from $75,000 to $200,000+. We provide a detailed free estimate for every project.
Can I live in my home during a remodel?
In most cases, yes. We work with you to minimize disruption and can phase the work so parts of your home remain livable throughout the project.
How long does a typical remodel take?
A single room remodel typically takes 4-8 weeks. A whole-house remodel can take 3-6 months depending on scope. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Gainesville, TX?
Custom home construction in the Gainesville and Cooke County area generally runs $165 to $250 per square foot. Land costs are typically lower than Collin or Denton counties, which means your total project budget goes further. Lake Kiowa properties may carry additional costs for POA compliance and architectural review. We provide free estimates on all projects.
How long does it take to build a custom home in Gainesville?
A custom home in the Gainesville area typically takes 8 to 12 months from permits to completion. Cooke County's permitting process is efficient, and material availability in the region has stabilized. Build timelines depend on home size, complexity, and weather conditions — Texas summers and spring storms can both cause brief delays.
Can you build custom homes inside the Lake Kiowa community?
Yes, we've completed projects in and around Lake Kiowa. Building there involves both Cooke County permitting and Lake Kiowa's architectural review committee approval. We're familiar with the community's design guidelines, lot setback requirements, and the specific site conditions around the lake. We handle the full process from review submission through final construction.
