A fixed-price kitchen project from our Plano-based DFW team serving Little Elm homeowners, with designers, project leads, and tradespeople who finish on the day they said they would. Eleven years, 5,875 projects, one promise: your quote is your price.
A kitchen remodel in Little Elm typically runs $25,000 to $95,000, depending on layout changes, cabinetry grade, and whether you are refreshing finishes or reconfiguring the whole space. As a UHS fixed-price project, that number is locked before we start, with our 3-year workmanship warranty behind it. Permits are pulled through the Town of Little Elm Building Safety Division (under Development Services), submitted on the Town’s MyGov portal — remember Little Elm is officially a Town, so the inspection and contractor-registration process runs through Town Hall, not Denton County. The biggest local cost driver here is that most homes date to the 2000s-2010s building wave, so the kitchens are structurally newer but built to a builder-grade spec: moving an island, upgrading from stock to custom cabinetry, and reworking electrical and plumbing for a true entertainer’s kitchen is where Little Elm budgets climb. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW home remodel cost guide.
We handle design, selections, permits and construction in-house, with one superintendent on site and a dated schedule before demolition starts.
The goal: open, layered light, a room the house gathers in.
Fixed scope and a written schedule before anyone swings a hammer in your house.
Most kitchens we remodel in Little Elm sit inside homes built during the town’s 2000s-2010s boom, when Little Elm became one of the fastest-growing communities in Texas. In master-planned villages like Paloma Creek, Sunset Pointe, Union Park, and Wildridge, the floor plans are open and the bones are sound, but the kitchens still wear their original builder-grade package: laminate counters, stock cabinets, and a center island that never quite matched how the family actually cooks and gathers. That is the Little Elm kitchen remodel in a nutshell. Because this is a young, lake-shore town on the eastern edge of Lewisville Lake rather than a city of aging historic homes, our work here is about customizing spec-built kitchens, opening sightlines toward the water, and bringing 15-year-old finishes up to a level the rest of these homes already deserve.
We remodel kitchens across Little Elm — Paloma Creek, Sunset Pointe, Union Park, Wildridge, and the Del Webb at Union Park and Ladera 55+ communities, plus lake-view homes along the Lewisville Lake shore.
We walk the kitchen, look at what is load-bearing, and give an honest budget range before anyone draws anything.
Plans, elevations, and a full selections package — cabinetry, stone, tile, hardware, lighting — priced line by line.
We pull City of Little Elm permits, order long-lead cabinetry and appliances, and hand you a dated schedule.
Dust walls up, temporary kitchen set, one superintendent on site, weekly updates and a clean house every Friday.
Punch list closed before final payment, then a written three-year workmanship warranty.
Island: honed quartz, mitered waterfall edge, seating for four.
Inset doors, continuous grain match, unlacquered brass pulls.
Design and selections run four to six weeks before that, and cabinetry is ordered the day selections close.
“The Little Elm kitchens we love most are the ones where the cabinet, counter, and lighting decisions are made together — not three separate buys. That sequence is why our Little Elm kitchens look settled the day we hand them over.”
From our recent projects across the metroplex.
We’d been thinking about a kitchen remodel for a while, but I honestly had no idea what style would fit our house or how to keep it within budget. UHS Remodeling was the only company that actually showed me different styles and how to keep it within budget.

Most kitchen remodels in Little Elm fall between $25,000 and $95,000. The range depends on cabinetry grade, whether you keep or change the existing layout, and how much plumbing and electrical work is involved. Because UHS works on a fixed-price model, your number is set before the project starts and backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty.
Yes. Kitchen remodels are permitted through the Town of Little Elm Building Safety Division (Development Services Department) via the Town’s MyGov portal. Because most Little Elm kitchen projects involve plumbing and electrical changes — and sometimes moving an island or wall — those elements require permits and inspections. Little Elm is officially a Town, so this runs through Town Hall, not Denton County.
Little Elm grew rapidly in the 2000s and 2010s, so most homes here are only about 15 years old with original builder-spec kitchens — stock cabinets, laminate counters, and basic islands. Unlike older DFW towns, the work is rarely about aging or historic homes; it is about customizing newer spec-built kitchens in communities like Paloma Creek, Sunset Pointe, and Union Park to match how families actually live.
A kitchen remodel in Little Elm typically ranges from $25,000 to $95,000, depending on size, materials, and finish level.
Cabinetry is the largest cost in Little Elm kitchen remodels, accounting for 28-35% of the total budget. For a full custom kitchen, cabinetry typically runs 28-35% of total. Labor is the second-largest cost at 18-24%, followed by appliances at 14-20%.
An upgraded semi-custom kitchen remodel in Little Elm takes 5-7 weeks of on-site construction. A full custom kitchen runs 7-10 weeks. Upper-mid projects with wall removal and structural changes can take 10-14 weeks. Add 3-5 weeks before demolition for design, material ordering, and permitting.
Yes. The Town of Little Elm Building Inspection Department requires permits for any kitchen remodel involving electrical, plumbing, gas, or structural modifications. UHS Remodeling handles the entire permitting process.
Yes, in most cases. Many older Little Elm homes have load-bearing walls between the kitchen and family room. We engage a licensed Texas structural engineer to confirm the load path, pull a permit, and install an engineered beam (typically an LVL or steel beam). This is the highest-impact structural change on Little Elm Tier 2 and Tier 3 kitchen projects.
For Tier 1 (upgraded semi-custom) kitchens: Decora, Merillat Masterpiece, or KraftMaid shaker and flat-panel lines. For Tier 2 (full custom): local custom shops building inset and framed cabinetry. For Tier 3: premium custom shops with wider selection of finishes and hardware.
For Little Elm kitchens, premium engineered quartz is the best balance of beauty, durability, and price. Top picks: Silestone Eternal Calacatta Gold, Caesarstone Calacatta Nuvo, MSI Q Calacatta Classique. For Tier 2 and Tier 3 projects, natural quartzite (Taj Mahal, Super White) delivers real stone beauty with better durability than marble.
Yes. Most Little Elm kitchen remodels are completed while the homeowner lives in the home. We set up a temporary kitchen area and contain dust with floor-to-ceiling plastic barriers. We coordinate delivery and work schedules to minimize disruption.
A full custom kitchen remodel in Little Elm typically returns 70-85% of project cost on resale. An updated kitchen is the single biggest buyer motivator in the Little Elm market, reducing days-on-market when it is time to sell.
