Get your fixed price(817) 214-3092
  • $48,000 to $95,000 for most full remodels, published up front
  • Cabinetry lead times quoted before the schedule is agreed
  • Six to ten weeks on site, and the dates go in your schedule

The fear isn't the price. It's living without a kitchen for a month longer than promised.

A kitchen remodel puts your family on takeout and paper plates for weeks. The damage of a project running over is not just financial, and it is the reason we sell a schedule and a named person as hard as we sell the work.

  • A fixed written price

    The number we sign is the number you pay. It moves only through a written change order you approve before any work starts.

  • A named project manager with a cell number

    One person owns your project from demolition to final walkthrough. You get their mobile number on day one, and they answer it.

  • A written update every Friday

    Photos, what happened this week, what happens next, and whether we are on schedule, in your inbox before the weekend either way.

  • Broom-clean every evening

    Floor protection down every morning, tools packed out and floors swept every night. You are living here while we work, and we work like it.

Real numbers, published

What a kitchen actually costs in DFW.

Everyone in this business hides the number until you are on the hook for a two-hour in-home presentation. These are the bands real DFW kitchens land in and what specifically pushes a project to the top of its range. We tell you which one you are in on the first visit, before we leave.

  • The refresh

    $28,000–$45,000

    Layout stays exactly as it is. New countertops, backsplash, lighting, hardware and either refinished or replacement cabinet fronts on the existing boxes.

    What moves the number: Stone choice and the appliance package. Quartz and granite sit far below true marble, and a pro-style range often brings ventilation and electrical work with it.

  • The full remodel

    $48,000–$95,000

    Where most projects land

    New cabinetry, countertops, appliances and flooring, with plumbing and electrical moved within the existing room.

    What moves the number: Custom versus semi-custom cabinetry, the single largest line in almost every kitchen, and how far the sink and gas lines have to travel.

  • Walls move

    $95,000–$160,000+

    The kitchen opens into living space or relocates entirely. Structural work, a full permit set, and often new windows or exterior doors.

    What moves the number: Whether the wall coming out is load-bearing, which means a beam, point loads and an engineer's stamp, plus any window or steel-door package.

Bands assume a kitchen between roughly 120 and 260 square feet. As with any renovation, concealed conditions behind cabinetry and plaster cannot be priced before demolition; we carry them as an itemised allowance rather than padding the headline figure, and unused allowance comes back to you.

Closed to open. Drag the line.

Two different kitchens, not two states of one room. Our own project photography is not published yet. What they show is the change most DFW kitchens of this era are asking for, and what taking out the wall between the kitchen and the living space actually buys you.

Materials and detail

Where a kitchen is actually judged.

Nobody remembers the floor plan. They remember whether the drawer fronts line up, how the stone turns a corner, and what the hardware feels like on the tenth pull of the day.

Five steps, no surprises.

Durations are ranges because they are honest. Cabinetry lead time is the item most likely to set your schedule, and it is fixed the day you approve the drawings.

  1. Walkthrough and consult

    1 visit

    We measure, listen to how you actually use the room, and tell you which cost band you are in before we leave. No pressure and no sales script.

  2. Design and selections

    2–4 weeks

    Layout, cabinetry, stone, appliances and lighting locked down with our designer, so nothing gets decided mid-build while a trade waits.

  3. Fixed written proposal

    ~1 week

    One itemised number, signed by both of us, with any concealed-conditions allowance shown as its own line. It moves only through a change order you approve first.

  4. Build

    6–10 weeks

    Permits pulled, one project manager on site, floor protection down daily. Cabinetry lead time usually governs the schedule; a written update with photos lands every Friday.

  5. Walkthrough and punch list

    1 day

    We walk every detail together, you tell us what is not right, and we fix it before the final invoice, which matches the contract.

Kitchen remodeling questions, answered straight.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in DFW?
Most full kitchen remodels in DFW land between $48,000 and $95,000. That covers new cabinetry, countertops, appliances and flooring with plumbing and electrical moved inside the existing room. A refresh that keeps the layout and the cabinet boxes runs $28,000 to $45,000. Once a wall comes out or the kitchen relocates, budget $95,000 and up, because structural work brings an engineer, a beam and a full permit set with it. The largest single variable in almost every kitchen is cabinetry: the same layout in semi-custom versus full custom can differ by $20,000 on its own.
How long is a kitchen remodel?
Six to ten weeks on site for a typical full remodel, and the schedule is usually set by cabinetry rather than by labor. Custom cabinetry commonly runs eight to fourteen weeks from approved drawings to delivery, which is why we lock selections before the contract and order early. Stone cannot be templated until the cabinets are installed, then adds one to two weeks for fabrication. Projects that remove a load-bearing wall add inspection cycles and run ten to sixteen weeks.
Can I stay in my house during a kitchen remodel?
Almost everyone does, and it is worth planning for properly rather than improvising. Tell us at the walkthrough and we will sequence a temporary setup, usually the old refrigerator, a microwave and a sink relocated to a garage or utility area, set up before demolition rather than after. Floor protection goes down along the whole path from the door to the kitchen every morning and floors are swept every evening. The genuinely hard stretch is the gap between cabinet installation and stone arriving, when you have counters coming but no counters yet.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in DFW?
Yes if plumbing, gas, electrical or framing is being altered, and requirements differ between municipalities across the metro. Fort Worth adds a step once the plan reaches the outside, and older houses there raise an electrical-capacity question before anything else, both of which we cover on the Fort Worth kitchen page. Replacing cabinetry and countertops in place generally does not require one. We pull permits and manage inspections as part of the fixed price. This matters to you more than to us: permitted work is the work that gets closed inside a wall, and the inspection is the only independent record it was done correctly. It also surfaces during a future sale.
Is it cheaper to reface cabinets or replace them?
Refacing is meaningfully cheaper, typically 40 to 60 percent of the cost of replacement, and it is a good decision when the existing boxes are solid, the layout already works, and you simply dislike the doors. It is a poor decision when the boxes are particleboard that has taken water, when you want to change the layout, or when you want deeper drawers instead of doors, because the box is what dictates all of that. We will price both where refacing is genuinely viable, and tell you plainly when it is not.
What is the most expensive part of a kitchen remodel?
Cabinetry, in almost every project, usually 30 to 40 percent of the total. Countertops and appliances follow, then labor for the trades. This is useful to know because it tells you where the negotiating room actually is: moving from full custom to a well-built semi-custom line with the same layout and the same hardware saves far more than downgrading your appliances or your tile, and it is the change least visible in the finished room.
How do you keep the price fixed?
By doing the expensive thinking before the contract rather than during the build. Selections are locked at the design stage, so no trade ever waits on a decision. The proposal is itemised. Concealed conditions are carried as a named allowance instead of a hidden contingency, and unused allowance comes back to you. The only mechanism that can change the number is a written change order you approve before the work happens.

What is different about a kitchen in your city

The method and the prices on this page are the same across the metro. What changes is the building stock and the rules, and those change a lot. Each of these pages covers only what is genuinely different about doing this work there.
