Why Gainesville Homeowners Choose Bradshaw Builders for Renovations
Some homes don't need a full remodel — they need a skilled renovation that restores what's great and updates what isn't. Bradshaw Builders has been renovating homes across Sherman and the Texoma area for over 40 years. 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.
Growing families, home offices, and aging parents moving in — there are many reasons you might need more space. Bradshaw Builders designs and builds room additions that blend seamlessly with your existing home. 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
Renovations in Gainesville — Common Questions
What's the difference between renovation and remodeling?
Renovation restores and updates a space without major structural changes — think new floors, fixtures, and finishes. Remodeling involves changing the layout or structure of a space. We handle both.
Can you add a room to my existing home?
Yes. Room additions are one of our core services. We handle permitting, foundation, framing, mechanical systems, and finish work for seamless additions.
Do you work on older homes?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience renovating older homes in the Texoma area, including dealing with outdated wiring, plumbing, and structural issues.
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.
