What a kitchen remodel can include

Every kitchen starts from what you have. These are the pieces we plan, price and coordinate most often.

Layout and walls

Moving the sink or range, adding an island, or opening a wall to the family room, including beam work where a wall is load-bearing.

Cabinets

New custom, semi-custom or stock cabinets, or refacing sound boxes. Taller uppers, drawers instead of doors, and pantry storage.

Countertops and backsplash

Quartz, granite and other solid surfaces, templated after cabinets are set, with tile or slab backsplashes.

Plumbing and appliances

Sink, dishwasher, pot filler, gas range and vent hood connections, coordinated with licensed plumbers and electricians.

Lighting and electrical

Recessed and under-cabinet lighting, pendants, dedicated appliance circuits and code-required outlets.

Flooring and finishes

Tile, wood or luxury vinyl, drywall, trim and paint, so the kitchen and the rooms around it match.

Refresh, remodel or full renovation

The biggest cost decision in a kitchen is whether the layout stays. Keeping plumbing, gas and walls where they are keeps the budget on cabinets, counters and finishes. Moving them adds demolition, framing, trade work and inspections, but it is often what fixes a kitchen that does not work.

Refresh

Same layout. New counters, backsplash, sink, fixtures, lighting and paint; cabinets refaced or painted where the boxes are sound.

Remodel

Same footprint, new cabinets, counters, appliances, lighting and flooring, with small changes such as adding an island.

Renovation

New layout. Walls opened or moved, plumbing and gas relocated, new electrical, often combined with adjoining rooms.

What moves the price

Whether plumbing, gas or walls move
Cabinet construction (stock, semi-custom or custom) and how much of it there is
Countertop material and the number of seams and cutouts
Appliance package and whether it needs new circuits, gas or venting
Electrical upgrades older Houston homes often need to meet current code

We give you an itemized estimate after a site visit, with allowances for finishes you have not chosen yet, so the number you sign is the number you plan around.

Do you need a permit for a kitchen remodel?

Replacing cabinets and counters in place often needs no building permit. New or relocated plumbing, gas lines, electrical circuits and structural changes do, in the City of Houston and in most surrounding cities. We confirm the requirement for your address, pull the permits and schedule the inspections.

Kitchen remodeling: from our projects

Kitchen remodeling: common questions

Still unsure? Ask us directly and we will answer in plain terms.

How much does it cost to remodel a kitchen in Houston?

Published 2025 figures for Houston range from about $28,300 for a minor midrange remodel to about $81,500 for a major midrange remodel and about $157,700 for an upscale one (Cost vs. Value 2025). Layout changes, cabinet quality and appliances move the number most. We price your kitchen line by line after a site visit.

Is $30,000 enough for a kitchen remodel?

It can be, if the layout stays the same: new counters, backsplash, sink, fixtures, lighting and paint, with existing cabinets refaced or painted. Full new cabinetry, an island or moved plumbing usually push a kitchen well past that.

Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel?

Like-for-like cabinet and counter replacement often does not. New or moved plumbing, gas, electrical circuits and wall changes do. We check the rules for your address and handle the permits.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

The construction phase of a same-layout remodel usually takes a few weeks; layout changes take longer because of rough-in work and inspections. Cabinet lead times often set the start date, so we order early. Your estimate includes a schedule for your scope.

Can we live in the house during the remodel?

Usually, yes. We seal off the work area, protect floors and plan a temporary kitchen spot with your refrigerator and microwave. There will be a stretch without a working sink, and we plan around it.

Will you install cabinets or appliances we buy ourselves?

Often, yes. We confirm sizes and delivery dates first, and the estimate notes which items you supply and what we are responsible for.
