A North Texas Contractor Built on Repeat Customers
Cristian started Southern Home Remodeling in Arlington in 2016 with a simple idea: the person who walks your home and prices the job should be the person who stands behind it. No sales reps, no hand-offs.
That is still how we work from our office at 1611 W Sanford St. We come to you, listen to what you need, and come back with a logical, feasible plan and a written, itemized estimate. Many first-time customers come back for a second and third project.

What Arlington Homeowners Say
Jake was extremely responsive and I was able to send him pictures of my issue over text. We discovered my problem exceeded our current budget since we moved into our house recently. However, Jake did not end the call there like most people would. He talked to me and my wife for nearly half an hour and gave us so many great tips on how we could get the job done ourselves. We were not actual clients of Southern Home Remodeling but they treated us like family anyway and we are extremely grateful.
This is the second project that Southern Home has done for me. In 2020 they remodeled my master bathroom, got rid of the tub and small shower and built a beautiful glass-enclosed walk-in shower. Today's project was an enclosed patio with ceiling fan, two new electrical outlets, solar screen windows and storm door. Southern Home does great work. No surprises, as everything is laid out before work begins. This is more than a 5 star company.
Cristian was very knowledgeable, flexible, and provided helpful education and recommendations.
