Most Katy homes we work on are Perry, Lennar, Trendmaker and David Weekley builds from the 2000s and 2010s: good bones, ready for their first major kitchen update. Katy ISD schools drive resale here, so a well-planned kitchen remodel protects the home's value as well as making it work better every day.
What most Katy kitchens need: updated cabinetry (painted shaker is the most-requested style), quartz countertops in place of the original builder-grade granite, a subway or herringbone tile backsplash, better task lighting and, where the kitchen is closed off, removing a non-load-bearing wall to open it to the family room.
We've worked across Cinco Ranch, Seven Meadows, Firethorne, Grand Lakes, Cross Creek Ranch, Pin Oak Village and Nottingham Country. Design is included in every project, led by Debbie McKelvey's interior design training. Family-owned since 1991, NARI member.

Custom cabinets take 6–10 weeks to build, so we order them first and do demo and rough-in while they're being built.

-
Yes. Most of our clients stay in the home throughout the remodel. We set up a temporary kitchen, contain the work area with dust barriers and coordinate the schedule to keep disruption down.
- What cabinet style is most popular in Katy kitchens?
-
Painted shaker, by a wide margin. White, off-white and soft greige are the most popular finishes, often with a stained rift-cut white oak or walnut island for contrast.
- What's the ROI on a kitchen remodel in Katy?
-
Katy's strong school districts and steady resale make kitchen remodels one of the best home improvements. Mid-range kitchen remodels typically return 70-85% of cost on resale in Katy, plus the years of enjoyment while you live there. High-end over-improvement (above neighborhood comps) returns less.
- What Katy neighborhoods do you work in?

All of them. Most commonly: Cinco Ranch, Seven Meadows, Firethorne, Grand Lakes, Cross Creek Ranch, Pin Oak Village, Nottingham Country, Mayde Creek, and surrounding Katy ISD communities.
