Allen Custom Kitchen Remodel

Allen is one of DFW’s fastest-growing suburbs, and most of its homes were built in the late 1990s through the 2010s. That means plenty of solid construction — but also plenty of builder-grade kitchens that families have outgrown. Here’s how we took one Allen kitchen from dated and cramped to custom and open.

The Challenge

Our Allen clients had lived in their home for years and loved everything about it except the kitchen. The cabinets were builder-grade particleboard with basic hardware. The countertops were scratched laminate. The layout wasted space. Storage was a constant frustration. They wanted a kitchen that matched the rest of their life: organized, beautiful, and built to last.

Our Approach

• Custom cabinetry built for real life. We replaced every cabinet with full-overlay shaker doors, soft-close drawers, full-extension slides, and smart storage inserts — pull-out trash, spice racks, and deep pot drawers.
• Quartz countertops + waterfall island edge. The new island became the centerpiece — more prep space, more seating, and a waterfall edge that makes the kitchen feel like a showroom.
• Full tile backsplash. Hand-set subway tile from countertop to ceiling behind the range, tied together with brushed nickel hardware.
• Upgraded appliances + proper venting. Professional-grade range, new dishwasher, and most importantly, a proper hood vent that actually exhausts outside (a shortcut many builder kitchens skip).
• Layered lighting and under-cabinet LEDs. Recessed cans for general light, pendants over the island, and LED strips under every upper cabinet for task lighting.

What Verified Clients Say

“Mike kept things moving with text updates when cabinets were delayed and adjusted the schedule without drama. Results felt solid and well thought out, especially the lighting placement.” — Verified Google review, UHS Remodeling

Why This Project Matters for Allen Homeowners

Allen homeowners in Twin Creeks, Waterford Parks, Bethany Lakes, Tatum Ridge, and the Watters Creek area have been some of our best clients over the years. Many come to us for their kitchen first and then bring us back a year later for a bathroom. If your Allen kitchen still has the builder-grade cabinets you inherited on closing day, there’s a better version of it waiting — and it probably costs less than you think.
