Modern Home Improvement & Remodeling provides kitchen remodeling in Houston, TX, from cabinet and countertop updates to full custom renovations, all under one contract. For more than 10 years, we’ve remodeled kitchens across northwest Houston, including homes in Spring Branch, Oak Forest, Garden Oaks, Timbergrove, and the Heights, and we’ve earned a 4.9-star rating on Google and Yelp from homeowners who got what they were promised.
Houston kitchens come in every age and shape. A 1950s ranch in Spring Branch often has a small galley kitchen walled off from the rest of the house. A 1920s Heights bungalow may sit on pier-and-beam with floors that are no longer level. A 2000s home inside the Beltway usually has a decent layout with finishes that feel dated. We handle the design, the trades, the City of Houston permits, and the cleanup ourselves, so you have one point of contact from the first walkthrough to the final punch list.
As a general contractor serving Houston from our base in Cypress, we’re licensed, insured, and a straight shot down Highway 290 from most of northwest Houston. We’re happy to come out, look at your space, and talk through what’s possible.
One team handles every part of your Houston kitchen remodel, so nothing falls between contractors.
Houston has more variety in its housing than almost any city in the country, from 1920s bungalows in the Heights to post-war ranches in Oak Forest and Spring Branch to newer infill homes going up on the same streets. Houston also has no zoning, so what you can do often comes down to city code, deed restrictions, and in some areas, historic district rules.
That’s why every Houston kitchen plan starts with the house and the street it’s on. Before we design anything, we look at the age of the home, the foundation type, the condition of the plumbing and wiring, and any rules that apply to your property.
Homes inside city limits go through the Houston Permitting Center. We pull the permits and schedule every inspection.
In Heights historic districts, exterior changes need city approval. Interior kitchen work usually doesn't.
Many older bungalows sit on pier-and-beam. We level floors before cabinets and stone go in.
1940s to 1960s homes often have galvanized pipes or undersized panels. We check before we price.
You should always know what happens next. Here’s how we run every Houston kitchen project, and you can read more about our remodeling process for a closer look at each stage.
We walk your kitchen, talk through goals and budget, and check the foundation, plumbing, and electrical before we plan anything.
You choose your layout, cabinets, countertops, and finishes with our guidance, and you get a written scope and price before anything is ordered.
Cabinets and materials are ordered and manufactured while we finalize permitting and scheduling.
Our crews handle demolition, construction, plumbing, electrical, and finish work under one unified schedule.
We walk the finished kitchen together and address any punch list items before we call the project complete.
In close-in neighborhoods like Oak Forest, Garden Oaks, and Spring Branch, older homes now sit next to new infill builds with large open kitchens. If you own one of the original houses, a remodeled kitchen is often the difference between a home buyers want to move into and one they see as a teardown.
For homeowners who plan to stay, it’s about living better in a house you already love. Opening a galley kitchen, adding storage, and bringing plumbing and wiring up to date makes an older home work for the way people cook and gather now, without giving up the character that drew you to it.
Smaller, targeted projects usually recover more of their cost at resale than full custom renovations. Whatever your plans, we’ll give you an honest take on where to spend and where to hold back.
Most Houston homeowners spend between $40,000 and $75,000 on a full mid-range kitchen remodel. Cabinet refacing and cosmetic updates cost much less, while custom kitchens with layout changes and premium finishes can run well past $100,000. Here are the ranges we see across Houston:
| Project Type | Typical Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Cabinet refacing | $6,000–$15,000 |
| Countertop replacement only | $3,500–$12,000 |
| Minor kitchen remodel (cosmetic updates, same layout) | $20,000–$40,000 |
| Mid-range full kitchen remodel | $40,000–$75,000 |
| High-end custom kitchen remodel (layout changes, custom cabinetry, premium finishes) | $75,000–$150,000+ |
Final pricing depends on kitchen size, cabinet selection, countertop material, layout changes, plumbing, electrical work, and finish selections.
