AEP Childress Renovation

The AEP Childress Service Center at 1700 Ave G NW in Childress, Texas, is a completed renovation project that converted existing warehouse space into new office area. The building passed its final TDLR accessibility inspection in August 2026, confirming that all construction and compliance work is finished.

Filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) in October 2025, the project is registered under the name AEP Childress Renovation. The scope of work involved modifying an existing unisex restroom and installing a new compliant ramp at the front entrance to meet accessibility standards. The total estimated cost for the project was $700,000.

The renovation covered 880 square feet of space, resulting in a cost of $795 per square foot. This figure is above the county median of $74 for similar renovation and alteration filings in Childress County. The scheduled build window was 88 days, which is shorter than the county median of 136 days for comparable projects.
