Modern Home Improvement & Remodeling provides kitchen remodeling in Katy, TX, from builder-grade upgrades in newer homes to full custom renovations, all under one contract. For more than 10 years, we’ve remodeled kitchens across the west Houston suburbs, including Cinco Ranch, Grand Lakes, Seven Meadows, Cane Island, and Elyson, and we’ve earned a 4.9-star rating on Google and Yelp from homeowners who got what they were promised.
Katy kitchens are different from what we see in older parts of Houston. Most homes here already have open layouts and plenty of square footage, so the job usually isn’t about knocking down walls. It’s about making a big kitchen work better: an island that’s the right size, cabinets that reach the ceiling, a pantry that actually holds things, and lighting that works under 10-foot ceilings. In older neighborhoods like Old Katy and Nottingham Country, it’s often a full update of a kitchen that hasn’t been touched in decades.
As a general contractor based in Cypress, we’re licensed, insured, and a short drive down the Grand Parkway from most Katy neighborhoods. If you’re planning work beyond the kitchen, see our full home remodeling services in Katy. Either way, we’re happy to come out and look at your space.
From a single upgrade to a full gut remodel, one team handles every trade in your Katy kitchen.
Katy stretches across Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties, and the area includes everything from 1970s homes in Old Katy to brand-new builds in Cane Island and Elyson. Because of that range, no two Katy kitchen projects start from the same place, and a plan that works in Cinco Ranch may not fit a home a few miles away.
Before we design anything, we look at where your home sits, when it was built, and how your current kitchen is being used. Those details shape the layout, the budget, and the paperwork, and planning for them up front keeps surprises out of the middle of your project.
Most Katy kitchens already have space. We focus on flow, island size, and storage instead of adding square footage.
Older Katy homes often need electrical and layout updates. Newer builds usually need builder-grade finishes replaced.
City of Katy homes follow city permits, while unincorporated areas follow county rules. We confirm which applies and handle it.
Katy's clay soil can push cabinets out of level. We check and correct level before any stone goes on.

Katy has one of the busiest new-home markets in the Houston area, which means resale homes are constantly competing with brand-new construction a few miles away. Buyers touring a 2005 Cinco Ranch home have often just walked through a model home in Cane Island or Elyson. An updated kitchen is one of the most effective ways to close that gap.
For homeowners who plan to stay, the payoff is daily. Katy is a family-heavy area, and the kitchen is where homework, meals, and hosting all happen. A layout with clear walkways, seating at the island, and storage that fits a busy household changes how the whole first floor works.
Targeted projects, like refacing cabinets or replacing builder-grade counters, usually recover more of their cost at resale than full custom renovations. If you’re remodeling with a sale in mind, we’ll give you an honest take on where to spend and where to hold back.
Most Katy homeowners spend between $40,000 and $75,000 on a full mid-range kitchen remodel. Because many Katy kitchens are larger than average, with more cabinets, more countertop, and bigger islands, projects here tend to land toward the upper part of each range. Here’s what we see across Katy and west 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.

A full mid-range kitchen remodel in Katy typically costs $40,000 to $75,000. Cosmetic updates that keep your layout run $20,000 to $40,000, and high-end custom kitchens run $75,000 to $150,000 or more. Larger Katy kitchens usually fall toward the upper end of each range. We give you an exact number after a free in-home assessment.
Most full kitchen remodels take 6 to 10 weeks of construction once materials arrive. Cosmetic updates and builder-grade upgrades can take 2 to 4 weeks. Permit review and HOA approval happen while cabinets are being built, so they rarely add time to the schedule.
It depends on your address and the scope. Homes inside City of Katy limits go through the city’s permit and building division. Homes in unincorporated Harris, Fort Bend, or Waller County follow county requirements. Electrical, plumbing, and gas work are the most likely to need permits, and we handle them either way.
Yes. In newer Katy homes, many owners replace countertops, reface or replace cabinets, upgrade lighting, and add a backsplash while keeping the existing layout and plumbing. It costs far less than a full remodel and can be done in a few weeks.
