A fixed-price kitchen project from our Plano-based DFW team serving Farmers Branch 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 Farmers Branch typically runs $25,000 to $95,000, with the spread driven by whether you keep the existing footprint or take down walls to open the kitchen into the living space. Permits for that work go through the City of Farmers Branch Building Inspection Division (under Community Services), submitted via the city’s Citizen Self Service portal at City Hall. The single biggest local cost driver is structural: in a 1950s-60s ranch or Mid-Century Modern home, the wall between the kitchen and the rest of the house is usually load-bearing, so opening it up means engineered beams, plus rerouting decades-old electrical and plumbing that no longer meet code. Custom kitchens around Brookhaven Country Club push toward the top of the range, where renovations skew luxury. UHS prices these as fixed-cost projects, so the structural unknowns common in older homes are accounted for before work starts. 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.
Farmers Branch kitchens carry their history in the layout. This is a built-out Dallas County suburb that filled in during the 1950s and 60s, when returning veterans bought affordable homes near Dallas, so the dominant stock is the mid-century ranch plus a notable concentration of true Mid-Century Modern homes (open plans, big windows, dramatic entries that builders like Bobbie Gail Ladd were putting up here by 1956, per D Magazine). Sixty to seventy years on, those original kitchens read small and closed off, walled away from the dining and living rooms behind load-bearing partitions. That is exactly the kitchen remodel UHS Remodeling does most in Farmers Branch: opening a galley or boxed-in ranch kitchen into the rest of the house, and updating finishes near Brookhaven Country Club, Branch Crossing, and Valwood Park.
We remodel kitchens across Farmers Branch, including Brookhaven and the Brookhaven Country Club area, Branch Crossing, Valwood Park, and newer infill like Mustang Crossing.
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 Farmers Branch 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 Farmers Branch 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 Farmers Branch 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 Farmers Branch kitchen remodels run $25,000 to $95,000. A finish-level update to a mid-century ranch kitchen sits at the lower end, while taking down a load-bearing wall to open the kitchen into the living space, with new cabinetry, counters, and rerouted electrical and plumbing, moves toward the top. Custom kitchens near Brookhaven Country Club can reach the upper range. UHS quotes a fixed price up front.
Yes. Kitchen remodels are permitted through the City of Farmers Branch Building Inspection Division (Community Services Department), submitted via the city’s Citizen Self Service portal. Because most Farmers Branch kitchens are in 1950s-60s homes, the work often pulls building, electrical, and plumbing permits, especially when a wall comes down. UHS handles the permitting as part of the project.
Yes, and it’s the most common kitchen project we do here. Many 1950s-60s ranch and Mid-Century Modern homes in Farmers Branch have the kitchen walled off from the living and dining rooms. We evaluate whether that wall is load-bearing, add engineered support where needed, and reconfigure the kitchen into an open-concept layout while updating the dated electrical and plumbing behind it.
A kitchen remodel in Farmers Branch typically ranges from $25,000 to $95,000, depending on size, materials, and finish level.
Cabinetry accounts for 28–35% of the total. For a $62,000 custom kitchen, expect about $20,000 on fully custom inset or shaker cabinetry. Labor is second at 18–24%.
Upgraded semi-custom kitchens take 5–7 weeks. Full custom kitchens run 7–10 weeks. Upper-mid projects with structural changes take 10–14 weeks.
Yes. The City of Farmers Branch Building Inspection Department requires permits for kitchen remodels involving electrical, plumbing, gas, or structural work. UHS handles the full permitting process.
Yes. We engage a licensed Texas structural engineer, pull a permit, and install an engineered beam. This is the highest-impact change on Tier 2 and Tier 3 Farmers Branch kitchen projects.
Tier 1: Decora, Merillat Masterpiece, or KraftMaid. Tier 2 and 3: local custom shops building inset and framed cabinetry to any specification.
Premium engineered quartz (Silestone, Caesarstone, MSI) is the best balance for 85% of Farmers Branch kitchens. Natural quartzite (Taj Mahal, Super White) for Tier 2 and Tier 3 upgrades.
Yes. We set up a temporary kitchen, contain dust with floor-to-ceiling barriers, and coordinate schedules to minimize disruption.
Typically 70–85% of project cost returns on resale, often more with a structural wall removal. An updated kitchen is the single biggest buyer motivator in Farmers Branch.
