Luxury Houston kitchen remodel with navy cabinetry and white oak island

Houston kitchen remodeling

Kitchens designed around how you actually cook

We have remodeled kitchens in Houston homes since 2005 — closed 1970s galleys, dark 1990s builder kitchens, and $2M custom homes that were never laid out correctly. Design, cabinetry, stone, lighting, and construction under one contract.

What's included

Everything a kitchen remodel touches

A kitchen is the most technically demanding room in a house: structure, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, cabinetry tolerances, and stone fabrication all have to land within a sixteenth of an inch of each other.

Luxury Kitchen Design

Design starts with a scaled measurement of your existing space and a conversation about how the room fails you today. We produce floor plans and photorealistic renderings so you approve the finished kitchen before demolition — sight lines, island size, appliance placement, and every cabinet elevation.

Cabinets

We build and specify inset, beaded-inset, and full-overlay doors in paint-grade maple, rift-sawn white oak, and walnut, with plywood boxes, dovetailed drawers, soft-close Blum hardware, and finishes cured in a controlled shop rather than sprayed on site.

Countertops

Quartz for families who want zero maintenance, quartzite and marble for clients who want depth and movement, and honed granite where heat resistance matters. We template digitally after cabinet installation so seams land where you will not see them.

Lighting

Four layers: recessed general lighting on dimmers, under-cabinet task lighting hardwired without visible cords, decorative pendants over islands, and accent lighting inside glass cabinets. We add circuits and relocate switches rather than working around what exists.

Flooring

Wide-plank engineered white oak that tolerates Houston humidity, or large-format porcelain that reads like stone. We flatten and moisture-test slabs before any material goes down — the single most-skipped step in this market.

Islands

Prep islands, seating islands, and double-island layouts with integrated outlets, trash pull-outs, microwave drawers, and dedicated appliance zones. We size clearances at 42 to 48 inches so two cooks never collide.

Storage Solutions

Full-depth pantry pull-outs, tray dividers, spice drawers, pot-and-pan drawers instead of base cabinets, appliance garages, and toe-kick drawers. Every kitchen we design gets a storage plan for the items you actually own.

Typical investment ranges

What Houston kitchens actually cost

These are real ranges from our completed projects, not teaser pricing. Your consultation ends with a specific range for your home and plan.

Refresh

$45,000 – $85,000

Same footprint. New cabinetry, counters, backsplash, sink, faucet, lighting, and flooring, with paint and new appliances installed.

Full Renovation

$85,000 – $175,000

New layout, one or two non-structural walls removed, relocated plumbing and electrical, custom cabinetry, stone counters, and designer fixtures.

Luxury / Structural

$175,000 – $350,000+

Load-bearing walls and beams, ceiling changes, double islands, professional-grade appliance suites, butler's pantry, and integrated millwork throughout.

Timeline

  • Design: 1–3 weeks
  • Selections: 2–4 weeks
  • Permits & ordering: 3–6 weeks
  • Construction: 6–16 weeks

Cabinetry lead time is usually the critical path. We order the moment selections are final so your construction start date holds.
