WELCOME
Allen grew fast in the 1990s and 2000s, filling in master-planned neighborhoods like Twin Creeks, Suncreek, and Watters Creek with well-built homes on great lots. Two or three decades later, those same homes are hitting prime remodeling age. Oak cabinets, laminate countertops, fiberglass tub-showers, and closed-off floor plans that felt current when they were built now feel dated. For over 35 years, Creative Construction & Remodeling (CCR) has helped Dallas/Fort Worth homeowners modernize exactly this kind of home. Led by general contractor Barry O’Brien, our team brings the craftsmanship and design eye to update your Allen home into something that fits how you live now, without leaving the neighborhood you already love.

If your Allen kitchen still has its original builder-grade cabinets, a closed-off layout, or laminate counters from the neighborhood’s early days, you’re not alone; it’s one of the most common calls we get from Allen homeowners. CCR opens up compartmentalized kitchens, replaces original cabinetry and countertops with custom options, and reworks the layout to fit modern, open-concept living. We manage the full project in-house, from design through final install, so your kitchen gets a real transformation rather than a surface-level refresh.
Original hall and primary bathrooms in many Allen homes were built with the same builder-grade finishes as the kitchens: brass fixtures, fiberglass tub-shower combos, and tight, compartmentalized layouts. CCR guts and rebuilds these spaces with custom vanities, updated showers, modern tile, and fixtures that actually match the rest of your updated home. We handle plumbing, electrical, tile, and finish work ourselves, so the whole remodel stays coordinated under one team and one schedule.


Sometimes a remodel isn’t enough, and your Allen home needs more room to work with. CCR builds room additions and second-story additions designed to blend with your home’s existing architecture, giving growing families more space without giving up a neighborhood they’ve already put down roots in. We manage the design, permitting, and structural work so the finished addition looks like it was part of the original build.
CCR also provides commercial remodeling services in and around Allen, including interior build-outs, exterior renovations, multi-family property upgrades, and maintenance and repair services backed by the same code knowledge our residential clients rely on.
