The Neighborhoods We Serve: Local Expertise in Every Zip Code


We believe that a great remodel starts with respecting the neighborhood’s character. Our team has completed over 240 successful projects across the DFW Metroplex, with a specialized focus on the North and East Dallas corridors.


East Dallas & Lakewood

From the historic charm of the M Streets and Junius Heights to the scenic beauty of Lakewood and White Rock Lake, we understand the intricacies of working in Conservation and Historical Districts. We also frequently serve Old Lake Highlands, Lochwood, and Lake Highlands, helping families modernize classic homes while preserving their timeless appeal.


The North Dallas Corridor

In high-end enclaves like Preston Hollow, University Park, and Highland Park, we are known for delivering the "Invisible Luxury" features those discerning homeowners demand. Our reach extends further north into Plano, Richardson, Addison, and Farmers Branch, where we bring sophisticated design and construction excellence to every street.


Our Core Services: From Concept to Completion

At Eric Cantu Remodeling, we don't just "do construction." We offer a full-service, integrated design-build approach that removes the stress of coordinating multiple contractors.
