WELCOME
Highland Park is one of the few places in Texas where the street itself is part of the architecture. Beverly Drive, Armstrong Parkway, and Lakeside Drive are lined with Tudor, English manor, Mediterranean, and Georgian estates, and the French Streets Bordeaux, Lorraine, and Versailles add a layer of character all their own. For over 35 years, Creative Construction & Remodeling (CCR) has worked in neighborhoods like these, and Highland Park has long been part of our core service area. Led by general contractor Barry O’Brien, our team brings discretion, precision, and real respect for the home to every project, so the finished work looks like it belongs on the street it’s on.

A Highland Park kitchen is rarely a blank slate. A Beverly Drive Tudor and an Armstrong Parkway Mediterranean ask for different things different proportions, different materials, different trim. CCR designs and builds kitchens with custom inset cabinetry, natural stone and quartz surfaces, and layouts that open older, more formal floor plans for the way families entertain today, while keeping every detail consistent with the rest of the house. If you’re working with an architect or interior designer, we coordinate with them directly, and we manage cabinetry, countertops, plumbing, electrical, and finish work in-house so the project moves on one schedule.
CCR rebuilds Highland Park bathrooms and primary suites into true retreats frameless glass showers, freestanding soaking tubs, heated flooring, and custom vanities with premium stone tops. In an older home, that also means working with original plumbing, thick plaster walls, and layouts that were never designed for a modern suite. We handle plumbing, electrical, tile, and finish work ourselves, so you have one accountable team from demolition through the final walkthrough.
Many Highland Park projects go well beyond a single room: a full renovation of an older estate, a reworked floor plan, or rebuilding after damage or years of wear. CCR manages these projects from start to finish: design coordination, permitting through the Town of Highland Park, structural work, and finish-out, all under one team. These homes carry their history in the details, and what gets kept, restored, or replaced is decided project by project. We help you make those decisions with the house in mind.
When a family outgrows an established Highland Park home, an addition has to do more than add square footage. CCR builds room additions and second-story additions that match rooflines, materials, and window proportions, so the new space reads as part of the original house. We manage design coordination, permitting, and structural work, and we plan each addition around the Town’s zoning and architectural requirements from the start.
“Barry O’Brien is the best, most talented contractor we’ve used over 25 years of renovations to our Dallas home. He keeps his word on schedules and budgets, and throughout the work, Barry and his team are consistently considerate and helpful."
