Kitchen Remodeling in Houston, TX
We survey the house before we quote it, price the whole job once, and put one project manager on it from the first visit to the last. Kitchens first, bathrooms, whole-home and commercial alongside them.
A Houston remodeler that checks the house before it quotes the kitchen
Slab-on-grade decides where your plumbing can go. A 1960s panel decides how much lighting you can add. An elevation certificate decides what a Meyerland rebuild is allowed to do. None of that shows up in a walk-through quote, and all of it shows up in the final invoice if nobody looked. We look first, then price, which is why our number holds.
One team, five steps, no surprises
Nearly every remodeling horror story starts the same way: someone priced the job before they understood the house. We do it in the other order.
01
Walk the house
An hour on site. We measure, look under the sink, check the panel, and tell you what the building will allow.
02
Draw it properly
Plans, elevations and a materials list. You see the finished room before you spend anything on it.
03
Price it once
A line-item scope with a fixed number and a written schedule. No allowances hiding a second quote.
04
Build it with one crew
One project manager, one set of trades, a locked sequence, and the site swept before anyone leaves.
05
Close it out
We walk it together, write the list, fix the list, and only then ask for the balance.

Kitchen Remodeling in Houston, TX
From a cabinet-and-countertop refresh through to taking the wall out and rebuilding the plan. On a Houston slab that is a bigger decision than most people are told, and we will be straight with you about it before you commit.
What actually drives the cost of a Houston kitchen
Three things, in this order: whether the layout changes, the cabinetry, and the stone. Appliances and tile matter far less than people expect, and the layout question is much more expensive here than in a city built on pier and beam.
Moving a sink or a dishwasher on slab means cutting concrete, re-routing drain under the floor, and re-pouring. It is entirely doable and we do it constantly, but it is a real line item, not a detail, and any quote that treats it as a detail is not a real quote.
Where most of our Houston kitchens start
Almost every job we run begins as one of these three:
- The boxes are fine. Solid cabinet carcasses, a layout that works, and dated doors and countertops. Refacing plus new stone gets you a new kitchen for a fraction of a gut, and we will tell you when that is the right call.
- The wall has to go. A galley closed off from the den, or a peninsula where an island belongs. This is the full remodel, and it is the one that changes how the house lives.
- You just bought it. Doing the kitchen before you move in is faster, cleaner and cheaper, no temporary kitchen, no dust barriers, no living on 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.
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 Houston. 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.

Bathroom Remodeling in Houston, TX
Bathrooms are judged on tile and they fail on waterproofing. In a climate this humid the membrane and the extraction are the whole job; everything else is finish.
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 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.
The price is fixed before anything is torn out
You get a written figure against a written scope, and it does not move unless you ask it to.

If we find something behind the wall that we should have found at survey, that is our problem and our cost. If you change your mind about the island, that is a change order and you will see it before it is done.
