Kitchen Remodeling in Dallas, TX
Design and construction under one contract, one project manager and a fixed price agreed before demo day. Kitchens first — plus bathrooms, whole-home renovations and commercial interiors.
A Dallas remodeling contractor that gives you the price before the demolition

We run design and construction as a single contract so those hand-offs are ours to manage. You get a written scope, a fixed price, a schedule you can plan around, and one person who answers the phone.

We come out anywhere in Dallas or Dallas–Fort Worth, measure properly, and follow up with a fixed price in writing.
Kitchen Remodeling Contractors in Dallas, TX
We design and build kitchens for Dallas homeowners — from a cabinet-and-countertop refresh to taking the wall out and starting again. One contract, one project manager, a fixed price agreed before demo day.
What a kitchen remodel in Dallas actually involves
A kitchen is the most complicated room in a house to renovate. It's the only one where plumbing, gas, electrical, ventilation, cabinetry, stone fabrication and flooring all have to land in the right order, to the millimetre, while you're still living there.
That sequencing is the job. Cabinets can't be ordered until the layout is final. Stone can't be templated until the cabinets are set. Appliances can't be fitted until the stone is in. Miss one hand-off and the whole schedule slips by three weeks, which is where most of the horror stories in this trade come from.
We run design and construction as one contract so those hand-offs are ours to manage, not yours. You get one project manager, a written schedule, and a price that's fixed before anything is torn out.
Where we typically start
Most of the kitchens we're asked about in Dallas fall into one of three situations:
- The layout is fine, the finishes are dated. Cabinet boxes are solid, the work triangle works. Refacing or new doors plus new countertops gets you a new kitchen for a fraction of a gut.
- The layout is the problem. A wall between the kitchen and living room, a peninsula where an island should be, a fridge that blocks a doorway. This is a full remodel, and it's the one that changes how the house lives.
- The house is new to you. You've just bought and want the kitchen done before you move in. Fastest, cleanest and cheapest way to do it — no temporary kitchen, no dust barriers, no living around a job site.
New custom cabinetry, refacing and refinishing — the biggest line in any kitchen budget.
Quartz, granite, quartzite, marble and porcelain — templated, fabricated and fitted.
Layout drawings, 3D views and material selections, then the same team builds it.
Custom inset cabinetry, natural stone, panel-ready appliances and architectural millwork.
Adding, enlarging or rebuilding an island — including the plumbing and electrical behind it.
Galley and apartment kitchens — layout, storage and light in a room that can't grow.
Built-in grills, weatherproof cabinetry and stone that survives a Texas summer.
Cost is the first question everyone has and the one most contractors dodge. Here's the honest version: the price is driven by three things, in this order — whether the layout changes, the cabinetry, and the stone. Appliances and tile matter far less than people expect.
Three cost drivers people consistently underestimate:
- Moving the sink or range. Relocating plumbing or gas more than a few feet means opening the slab or the ceiling below. In Dallas's slab-on-grade houses that's a real line item, not a rounding error.
- Cabinet grade. The gap between stock, semi-custom and full custom cabinetry is the single biggest swing in any kitchen budget — often more than every appliance combined.
- Whatever's behind the wall. Older houses hide things. We budget a contingency for it up front and tell you what we find, rather than discovering it on week three and handing you a change order.
Your proposal is a fixed price against a written scope. If we hit something genuinely unforeseen behind a wall, you see the cost and approve it before we touch it.
Cosmetic work doesn't need a permit. Cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, paint and swapping a fixture for a like-for-like fixture are all fine as-is.
You do need a permit — and we pull it — when the project involves:
- Removing or altering a wall, load-bearing or not
- Moving or adding plumbing supply and drain lines
- New electrical circuits, a panel change, or moving the range circuit
- Gas line work of any kind
- Changing or adding a window or exterior door
- Adding or relocating a range hood that vents outside
We handle the application, the drawings, and the inspection scheduling with the City of Dallas. It's built into the timeline we give you, not an afterthought that stalls the job. Working without a permit on structural or gas work is a problem you inherit at resale, when the buyer's inspector asks for paperwork that doesn't exist.
The honest answer is that the build is the short part. Design, selections and lead times take longer than the construction does, and that's the phase people are surprised by.
| Phase | Typical duration | What's happening |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation & measure | 1 week | Site visit, measurements, budget conversation |
| Design & selections | 3 – 6 weeks | Layout drawings, 3D views, cabinet and stone selections, final scope |
| Ordering & lead time | 4 – 10 weeks | Cabinetry built, appliances secured, tile and fixtures delivered |
| Demo & rough-in | 1 – 2 weeks | Tear-out, framing, plumbing, electrical, inspections |
| Install | 3 – 5 weeks | Cabinets set, stone templated and fitted, tile, flooring, paint |
| Finish & walkthrough | 1 week | Appliances, hardware, punch list, final clean |
Custom cabinetry is almost always the long pole. If your timeline is tight, tell us on day one — there are real ways to compress it, and choosing the cabinet line early is the biggest one.
You can stay in the house for a kitchen remodel and most of our clients do. What makes it bearable is preparation rather than optimism:
- We build dust barriers with zipper doors and run negative air, so drywall dust doesn't end up in your bedrooms.
- Floors and walkways between the entry and the kitchen are protected for the whole job.
- We'll set up a temporary kitchen — fridge, microwave, kettle and a working sink somewhere else in the house — before demo starts.
- The site is swept and tools are put away at the end of every day. You get your house back each evening.
- You get a schedule showing which trade is in the house on which days, so there are no surprise 7am knocks.

Bathroom Remodeling in Dallas, TX
Bathrooms are small, wet and unforgiving — the room where cutting corners shows up two years later as a stain on a ceiling. We build them to last, with the same fixed-price process as our kitchens.
The part of a bathroom nobody sees
A bathroom remodel is judged on tile and fixtures, and it succeeds or fails on waterproofing. Everything behind the tile — the substrate, the membrane, the slope of the shower pan, how the membrane laps at the curb and the corners — is what determines whether the room is still sound in ten years.
This is also where the money quietly disappears in cheap jobs. Tiling straight onto drywall, skipping the membrane, or building a pan that doesn't drain properly all save a few hundred dollars up front and cost tens of thousands when the subfloor rots.
We build wet areas on cement board or foam board with a bonded waterproof membrane, pre-slope every pan, and pressure-test before a single tile goes on. It's not glamorous and it's not optional.
The three bathroom projects we're asked for most
Most bathroom work falls into one of these:
- Tub-to-shower conversion. Replacing an unused tub with a proper walk-in shower. The most requested bathroom project there is, and one of the best returns.
- Primary bathroom renovation. A full rebuild — double vanity, separate shower, freestanding tub, better lighting and storage.
- Guest or hall bathroom refresh. Same footprint, everything new. Fast, contained, and a big lift for a modest budget.
Double vanities, spa showers, freestanding tubs, heated floors and real storage.
Tub-to-shower conversions, curbless entries, frameless glass and waterproofing.
Powder rooms and hall baths — contained projects with an outsized effect.
Bathrooms cost more per square metre than kitchens. It surprises people, but a bathroom packs plumbing, waterproofing, tile, ventilation, electrical and glass into a very small room, and almost all of it is skilled labour.
The things that move a bathroom budget more than people expect: moving the toilet (the drain is the least forgiving thing in the room), frameless glass made to measure, heated floors, and large-format tile — which costs more to fit because the substrate has to be genuinely flat.
Like-for-like fixture swaps generally don't need a permit. Moving drains, adding circuits, or altering walls does — and we pull those with the City of Dallas.
The items that most often get flagged, and that we build correctly as standard:
- Extraction ducted to outside, not into the attic. Venting a bathroom into a roof space is how you grow mould above a ceiling.
- GFCI protection on every outlet, and correct clearances around the tub and shower.
- A shower pan with the right pre-slope to the drain, built before the membrane rather than after.
- Correct blocking behind the wall for grab bars, hardware and a wall-hung vanity — much easier now than retrofitted later.
- Waterproof membrane lapped properly at the curb, corners and niche. Corners are where failures start.
Bathrooms are shorter than kitchens on site but have more mandatory waiting built in — mortar and membranes cure on their own schedule and cannot be rushed.
| Phase | Typical duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Design & selections | 2 – 4 weeks | Layout, tile, fixtures, vanity, glass |
| Ordering | 2 – 6 weeks | Vanities and specialist tile drive this |
| Demo & rough-in | 3 – 5 days | Tear-out, plumbing and electrical moves, inspection |
| Waterproofing & tile | 1 – 2 weeks | Includes cure time between stages |
| Fit-out | 3 – 5 days | Vanity, fixtures, glass templating and install |
Frameless shower glass is templated after tiling and typically takes 1 to 2 weeks to fabricate — plan for a temporary curtain in that gap.
Home Remodeling in Dallas, TX
When the project is bigger than one room — a newly bought house, a dated floor plan, or a renovation you'd rather do once — we run the whole thing under a single contract and a single schedule.
Why doing it once costs less than doing it three times
Renovating a house room by room over several years feels financially safer. It usually isn't. Every project restarts the same fixed costs — mobilisation, dust protection, permits, design, the disruption of living through it — and finishes drift as product lines change, so the house ends up looking assembled rather than designed.
Running the work as one project means one design language, one permit package, one set of trades sequenced efficiently, and one period of disruption instead of four. On a house where you're touching a kitchen, two bathrooms and the flooring, that consolidation is usually worth 10 to 20 percent against the same scope done piecemeal.
The projects this covers
Whole-home work tends to be one of these:
- A house you've just bought. Everything done before you move in — the fastest and least painful version of a renovation, with no temporary kitchen and no living around a job site.
- Opening up a closed floor plan. Removing walls between kitchen, dining and living, engineering the beams, and rebuilding as one space.
- A staged renovation of a house you're staying in. Same contract, sequenced so you always have a working kitchen or bathroom somewhere.
- Preparing a house for sale. Focused on the rooms that move an offer — kitchen, primary bath, flooring and paint.
Back-to-studs and major renovations, sequenced as one project.
Room additions, kitchen extensions, primary suites and second storeys.
Both rooms under one contract, one design language and one period of disruption.
Whole-home budgets are best understood per square metre of what you're actually touching, not the total floor area of the house. A "full renovation" that leaves three bedrooms alone is a very different number from one that doesn't.
Older houses carry more risk of the unexpected — outdated wiring, cast iron drains at the end of their life, foundation movement, or the previous owner's undocumented work. We build a contingency into the proposal and tell you what we find as we find it, rather than presenting it as a change order after the fact.
Opening a floor plan is the change that most alters how a house lives, and the one with the most behind it:
- We establish whether a wall is load-bearing early — from framing direction, span, and what's above it — not on demo day.
- Load-bearing walls need an engineer's beam specification and a permit. We handle both.
- Whatever lives in the wall gets rerouted: plumbing stacks, HVAC ducts, electrical runs. This is the item that most often changes a budget.
- Temporary shoring supports the structure while the beam goes in.
- Ceiling and floor make-good across the old wall line is planned rather than patched, so there's no visible scar where the wall used to be.
On a whole-home project the order of operations is most of the value we add. Rough sequence:
| Stage | What happens | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Design & permits | Drawings, engineering, selections, permit approval | 6 – 12 weeks |
| Demo & structural | Tear-out, beams, framing changes | 2 – 4 weeks |
| Rough-in | Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, inspections | 2 – 4 weeks |
| Close-up | Insulation, drywall, tape and finish | 2 – 3 weeks |
| Finishes | Cabinetry, tile, flooring, paint, trim | 4 – 8 weeks |
| Fit-out & punch | Fixtures, appliances, hardware, walkthrough | 1 – 2 weeks |
For a full gut, moving out is usually the right call and often cheaper overall, because the trades can work continuously instead of around you. We'll tell you honestly which weeks are liveable and which aren't.
Commercial Remodeling in Dallas, TX
Interior remodeling for Dallas businesses — where the constraint isn't the build, it's doing it without shutting you down for a month.
Commercial work is a scheduling problem
The construction in a commercial fit-out isn't fundamentally different from residential. What's different is everything around it: you're trading while we build, there's a landlord with an opinion, a lease with a deadline, and a code path that's stricter than a house.
That's what we plan around. Night and weekend phasing where the space has to stay open. Temporary partitions that are presentable rather than just functional. A programme that hits the date on the lease, because that date has money attached to it.
Where we work
Our commercial work is interior remodeling and fit-out rather than ground-up construction:
- Restaurants and bars — front of house, bar builds, banquettes, millwork and finishes, plus coordination with kitchen equipment suppliers.
- Offices — reconfiguration, meeting rooms, break rooms and kitchens, reception and custom millwork.
- Retail — shopfits, fitting rooms, display joinery and back-of-house.
- Multi-family and HOA — unit turns, amenity spaces, clubhouse kitchens and common areas.
- Medical and professional suites — reception, consult rooms and specialist casework.
Front of house, bar builds and back of house — phased around service.
Reconfiguration, meeting rooms, break rooms and reception millwork.
Shopfits, fitting rooms, display joinery and back of house.
Almost every commercial project we run has a version of the same constraint — the revenue can't stop. The options, in rough order of how often they're the right answer:
- Night and early-morning working. Standard for restaurants and retail. Noisy and dusty work happens after close, and the space is presentable before you open.
- Zoned phasing. The space is split with proper temporary partitions and worked one zone at a time. Half the dining room, half the floor plate.
- Short full closure. Sometimes the honest answer. A concentrated two-week shutdown often costs less in lost revenue than eight weeks of half-capacity trading — we'll model both.
- Back of house first. Getting kitchens, storage and staff areas done while front of house keeps trading, then swapping.
Commercial code is stricter than residential and the inspection path is longer. The items that most often delay an opening, and that we front-load:
- Accessibility compliance — routes, restroom clearances, counter heights, door hardware and signage. Retrofits in older buildings are where this bites hardest.
- Fire and life safety — sprinkler head relocation, alarm devices, exit signage, egress widths and travel distances.
- Health department review for anything food-related, which runs on its own timeline separate from building permits.
- Mechanical — make-up air, exhaust and the ventilation calculations that come with a commercial kitchen.
- Landlord approval — a separate process from the city, with its own review period and its own requirements about what may be altered.
We front-load all of these because they're the items that turn a two-week delay into a two-month one. Sprinkler relocation in particular is routinely underestimated and routinely the thing standing between a finished space and an occupancy sign-off.

Areas we serve across Dallas & Dallas–Fort Worth
We're based in Dallas and run projects throughout Dallas–Fort Worth. Below is where we work, and what tends to be different about remodeling in each.
Where your house is changes the project more than most people expect. The permitting authority is different in the Park Cities and in each suburb. Conservation and historic districts restrict what can change. Condo and townhome buildings add a management approval that often takes longer than the city does. And the housing stock itself — 1960s ranch, pre-war Tudor, new-build — decides whether your kitchen needs a structural change or just a good layout.
Dallas housing stock shapes what's possible. Most of the city is slab-on-grade, so relocating drains means cutting concrete rather than dropping into a crawl space. The 1950s–70s ranch houses across Lake Highlands, Preston Hollow and North Dallas almost always have a wall between the kitchen and the living room, which is the single most requested change we're asked for. Post-war Tudors and cottages in Lakewood and the M Streets have smaller, more closed kitchens with soffits that usually hide ducting. Newer builds in Frisco, Plano and Allen tend to have the space already and need layout and finish work rather than structural change.
