Kitchen Remodeling in Dallas, TX
A kitchen remodel touches layout, plumbing, electrical, cabinets, counters and lighting, so it is priced from a real look at the room.
What to expect
Kitchens in Dallas: what usually matters
Kitchens from this period are often smaller and closed off from the living area, so opening a wall is a common request. Any wall you want to remove has to be checked to see whether it carries load. Homes built before 1978 may also contain lead-based paint, which changes how demolition has to be done, and older wiring and plumbing are worth inspecting once the walls are open.
The median home in Dallas was built in 1981, so this describes what is common at that age. Your house may differ, and we confirm on site.
What's included
- Open-concept wall removal and beam installation
- Custom and semi-custom cabinetry
- Quartz, granite and solid-surface countertops
- Islands with plumbing and electrical
- Lighting design, tile backsplash and flooring
- Appliance and fixture installation
