Kitchen, bathroom & whole-home renovations for McKinney’s established neighborhoods


McKinney is one of the fastest-growing cities in Collin County, home to approximately 110,000 residents across a collection of well-planned, family-oriented neighborhoods. From the established estates of Twin Creeks to the newer communities of Star Creek and Montgomery Farm, McKinney’s housing stock spans the 1990s through the 2020s—and many of the earlier homes are now 20 to 30 years old and ready for a meaningful update.
UHS Remodeling has served McKinney homeowners since 2014. We understand the specific character of renovating in this market: builder-grade finishes that no longer match how families live, kitchens designed before the open-concept era, and bathrooms that were functional but never luxurious. Our approach is straightforward—listen to what you need, design a renovation that fits your home and budget, and deliver the finished project on time.
McKinney’s real estate market consistently rewards smart renovation. The gap between a builder-original home and an updated comparable can be significant, making kitchen and bathroom remodels some of the highest-return improvements available. Whether you are planning to sell or simply want a home that reflects your lifestyle, we are here to help.

McKinney homeowners gravitate toward clean, contemporary kitchens with a warm edge. Shaker-style cabinetry in white or soft gray, quartz countertops with waterfall edges, statement pendant lighting, and large-format tile backsplashes define the McKinney aesthetic. We specialize in layout modifications that open the kitchen to the living and dining areas—a priority in homes built during the 1990s and early 2000s when closed-off kitchens were standard. McKinney kitchen renovations typically range from $25,000 for a targeted refresh to $65,000 for a full redesign with custom cabinets, premium countertops, new appliances, and flooring.
Many McKinney kitchens were built with adequate square footage but uninspired layouts. Adding a center island, upgrading to soft-close cabinetry, or reconfiguring the pantry can transform the space without requiring a full gut renovation. We evaluate every kitchen for these opportunities during our free consultation.


McKinney bathrooms from the late 1990s and 2000s often feature builder-standard garden tubs that rarely get used, small shower stalls, and dated tile and vanity selections. Our bathroom renovations address all of it—removing the unused tub to create an oversized walk-in shower, installing double vanities with quartz tops, frameless glass enclosures, freestanding soaking tubs for those who want them, and modern fixtures throughout. Master bathroom projects in McKinney range from $16,000 to $42,000, while guest bath updates can start around $10,000.
For homeowners who want a complete transformation, we coordinate kitchen, bathroom, flooring, and living space updates as a single project. This approach is especially popular in McKinney, where many homes from the late 1990s and early 2000s need multiple rooms updated simultaneously. A whole-home renovation eliminates the disruption of staging separate projects over years and ensures a cohesive design throughout. McKinney whole-home projects typically range from $65,000 to $180,000 depending on square footage and scope.
Beyond kitchens and bathrooms, McKinney homeowners frequently request flooring replacement (luxury vinyl plank, engineered hardwood, large-format tile), interior painting, laundry room upgrades, and custom closet and storage solutions. These projects can stand alone or be integrated into a larger renovation plan. We also handle fixture upgrades, lighting redesigns, and built-in cabinetry throughout the home.
Craig Ranch is McKinney’s premier master-planned community — a TPC golf-course development in southwest McKinney with luxury homes built from 2004 to the present. Homeowners here have strong equity and refined tastes, and UHS Remodeling’s work in Craig Ranch reflects both. Kitchen remodeling McKinney TX projects frequently include custom cabinetry to ceiling height, natural stone or premium quartz countertops, professional-range appliance packages, and designer tile backsplashes. Primary bath renovations deliver spa-level experiences: rainfall showers, freestanding tubs, heated floors, and custom vanity millwork. Outdoor kitchen additions — covered structures with built-in grills, refrigeration, and stone countertops — are consistently requested by Craig Ranch homeowners who entertain year-round. Our 500+ five-star reviews reflect the standard of excellence we deliver to every Craig Ranch project.
Stonebridge Ranch is McKinney’s largest master-planned community — more than 7,000 homes built from the late 1980s through the 2000s, anchored by a beach and tennis club that gives the neighborhood lasting family appeal. Homes here are now at the peak of their renovation cycle. Bathroom renovations in Stonebridge Ranch frequently involve converting dated garden tubs into oversized walk-in showers, replacing builder-grade tile, and upgrading to frameless glass enclosures. Kitchen remodels often open walls to create flow between the kitchen, living, and dining areas — a priority in homes built when closed-off floor plans were standard. Master bathroom remodels in McKinney range from $16,000 to $42,000, while guest bath updates can start around $10,000.
Eldorado and Heritage Ranch represent some of McKinney’s most established neighborhoods — homes built in the 1980s and 1990s that carry classic Texas character and now sit on well-appreciated lots. Homeowners in these areas increasingly seek whole-home renovations that preserve the neighborhood feel while bringing interiors to a modern standard. UHS Remodeling commonly handles full kitchen rebuilds, master suite expansions, and primary bathroom overhauls in both communities. Whole-home renovation projects typically range from $65,000 to $180,000 depending on square footage and scope.
Adriatica is McKinney’s unique Mediterranean-style village community — a walkable neighborhood with European architecture and high design standards. Waterford Park is a newer upscale development drawing buyers who want move-in-ready finishes at a premium level. Both communities attract homeowners who care deeply about design continuity and craftsmanship. UHS Remodeling’s work in these neighborhoods includes flooring replacement (luxury vinyl plank, engineered hardwood, large-format tile), interior painting, laundry room upgrades, and custom closet systems. Secondary services — from cabinet refacing to home additions — are available to McKinney homeowners across all neighborhoods.
