We handle design, permits, cabinetry, countertops, tile, electrical, and plumbing as one coordinated project. One project manager, one schedule — you're not chasing six subcontractors.
Our process
- Free in-home consultation — We walk the space with you, understand how you use the kitchen, and discuss budget and priorities.
- Design & quote — We put together a design, cabinet specifications, finish selections, and a real line-item quote — no surprises.
- Build — One project manager, one schedule, one point of contact. Permits, demo, rough-in, install, finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Houston? +
As of 2026, most Houston kitchen remodels land between $20,000 and $60,000 for a mid-range project. High-end remodels with custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and structural changes typically run $75,000 to $150,000+. Budget 30–40% for cabinetry alone.
How long does a Houston kitchen remodel take? +
A straightforward kitchen remodel takes 6–8 weeks once demo starts. Full gut remodels with layout changes, permits, and custom cabinetry typically take 10–14 weeks. Custom cabinet lead times drive the schedule more than anything else.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Houston? +
You need a City of Houston permit (or your municipality's equivalent — Katy, Sugar Land, etc.) anytime you move plumbing, gas, or electrical, or make structural changes like removing a wall. Cosmetic refreshes (cabinets, countertops, appliances in place) don't require a permit.
Can you work around my family living in the home? +
Yes. We set up temporary kitchens, contain the work area with dust barriers, and coordinate schedules so disruption is minimized. Most of our Houston clients stay in the home throughout the remodel.
What's the biggest kitchen remodel mistake Houston homeowners make? +
Under-budgeting cabinetry. Cabinets are 30–40% of the total kitchen budget, and cheap cabinets are the first thing to fail in Houston humidity. Spend right on cabinets and countertops; you can refresh backsplash and paint later.
Do you handle design, or do I need a separate designer? +
Debbie McKelvey has formal interior design training (University of Houston, Southwest Texas State). Design is included in every project — layouts, cabinet specifications, finish selection, lighting plan.
What areas of Houston do you serve for kitchen remodels? +
Greater Houston metro: Katy, Cypress, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Memorial, Bellaire, West University, River Oaks, Spring, Tomball, Pearland, Richmond, Fulshear, Missouri City, and surrounding areas.
