Kitchen Remodeling in Katy, TX

Kitchen remodeling in Katy hits a sweet spot — plenty of good-bones homes from Perry, Lennar, Trendmaker, and David Weekley builds of the 2000s-2010s, ready for their first major refresh. Katy ISD schools drive resale, and smart kitchen remodels are one of the highest-ROI improvements Katy homeowners make. Most Katy homes we work on need: updated cabinetry (painted shaker is the most-requested style), quartz countertops replacing the original builder-grade granite, subway or herringbone tile backsplashes, better task lighting, and — for homes where the kitchen is closed off — removing a non-load-bearing wall to open sightlines to the family room. We've worked across Cinco Ranch, Seven Meadows, Firethorne, Grand Lakes, Cross Creek Ranch, Pin Oak Village, and Nottingham Country. Katy permits are handled through the City of Katy or Fort Bend County depending on location. Family-owned since 1991, NARI member.
