Kitchen Remodeling in The Colony, TX

The Colony kitchen remodeling serves one of the fastest-growing family markets in DFW. This city of roughly 44,000 wraps around the east shore of Lake Lewisville, covering ~24 square miles. Most homes here were built between 1990 and 2015 — including the lakefront and lake-adjacent homes of Stewart Peninsula, the master-planned Tribute Lakeside, and the newer Austin Waters neighborhoods along with more established subdivisions closer to SH-121. Home values range from $350,000 to $650,000, and The Colony homeowners — young families who moved from Frisco or Plano for the schools and the lake, move-up buyers upgrading a first home — typically want a modern custom kitchen with a large island, open floor plan, and real luxury finishes without the Frisco new-build markup.

At UHS Remodeling, we specialize in The Colony kitchen renovations that deliver real upper-mid quality — solid wood cabinetry, quartz or quartzite countertops, professional-grade appliances, and thoughtful layout changes — at pricing that makes sense for the market. Every UHS kitchen project is delivered with transparent line-item pricing before we start, one dedicated W-2 crew from demo through punch-list, daily photo updates, and a written 3-year workmanship warranty. Our Plano headquarters gives us full DFW coverage across The Colony, Frisco, Plano, Little Elm, and Carrollton.

The Colony Kitchen Remodeling — 3 Project Tiers

Tier 1: Upgraded Semi-Custom Kitchen ($28,000 – $48,000)

This tier serves The Colony homeowners in smaller homes and townhomes who want a meaningful upgrade without a full gut. Scope: semi-custom shaker or flat-panel cabinetry (Decora, Merillat Masterpiece, or KraftMaid), Level 2 or Level 3 quartz countertops, full tile backsplash, pro-series appliance package (KitchenAid, Bosch 300/500 series, GE Cafe), updated lighting plan, new porcelain tile or LVP flooring, paint, and targeted plumbing and electrical upgrades. Layout stays the same. Timeline: 5–7 weeks.

Tier 2: Full Custom Kitchen ($50,000 – $75,000)

The core of The Colony kitchen remodeling. Scope: fully custom inset or shaker cabinetry with soft-close hardware, full-slab quartz or Level 3/4 engineered stone, custom tile backsplash, Wolf 36″ or Thermador gas range, counter-depth or panel-ready refrigerator, Bosch 800 series or KitchenAid dishwasher, built-in microwave drawer, island with seating for 4–6 and pendant lighting, new engineered hardwood or large-format porcelain flooring, updated plumbing and electrical, full paint and trim package. Layout changes typically include removing the wall between the kitchen and the family or dining room. Timeline: 7–10 weeks.

Tier 3: Upper-Mid Custom with Structural Changes ($78,000 – $95,000+)

The most ambitious The Colony kitchen projects combine a full custom kitchen with structural modifications. Scope: wall removal with licensed structural engineering and steel beam installation, expansion of the kitchen footprint into an adjacent dining or living room, vaulted or coffered ceilings, walk-in pantry with custom cabinetry, butler’s pantry with glass-front lit cabinetry, upgraded appliance package (Wolf 48″ range, Sub-Zero refrigerator), custom range hood, and extensive trim and millwork. Timeline: 10–14 weeks.

The Colony Kitchen Remodel Cost Breakdown

Kitchen Remodeling by The Colony Neighborhood

Stewart Peninsula & Lake-Adjacent (Luxury Custom)

Stewart Peninsula and the lake-adjacent neighborhoods contain The Colony’s largest and most valuable homes. These 2000s–2010s lakefront and lake-view homes support Tier 2 and Tier 3 kitchen scopes: the original builder-grade cabinetry and Level 1 granite are replaced wholesale, a new larger island goes in, and pro-grade appliances upgrade the overall feel.

Tribute Lakeside & Austin Waters

Tribute Lakeside and Austin Waters are The Colony’s newer master-planned communities (2010–present) with contemporary-styled homes. Kitchens in these newer homes typically need a finish upgrade rather than a full remodel — replacing builder-grade quartz with Level 4, upgrading to a Wolf or Thermador range, adding custom tile backsplash, upgrading island with waterfall stone, and swapping in designer pendants and hardware. Most fall in Tier 1 and early Tier 2 scopes.

Older Colony Neighborhoods (West Side)

The older established neighborhoods of The Colony (1990s and early 2000s) include homes with more compact footprints and closed floor plans. These kitchens benefit most from Tier 2 projects with structural changes: removing the wall between the kitchen and family room, expanding the kitchen into an adjacent formal dining room, and modernizing finishes throughout.

Townhomes & Patio Homes

The Colony has a growing inventory of townhomes and patio homes that typically need targeted upgrades rather than full remodels. Tier 1 scope covers most of these projects — replacing builder-grade quartz, upgrading appliances, adding custom backsplashes, and swapping lighting and fixtures.

2026 The Colony Kitchen Design Trends

Two-Tone Cabinetry with Waterfall Islands

The Colony homeowners lean modern in 2026. The most requested design is a two-tone palette — white or soft gray perimeter cabinets paired with a contrasting island in warm walnut, navy blue, or charcoal — combined with a waterfall quartz island edge. The island becomes the focal point of the kitchen.

Butler’s Pantry & Beverage Stations

Tribute Lakeside and Stewart Peninsula homes increasingly include a dedicated butler’s pantry or beverage station — separate from the main kitchen — with glass-front upper cabinets, under-cabinet lighting, a second sink, and a wine refrigerator. This adds another ~$8,000–$15,000 to the project.

Pro-Grade Appliances at Mid-Market Price Points

Wolf, Thermador, and KitchenAid Professional ranges are now standard in our Tier 2 and Tier 3 The Colony kitchens. Sub-Zero is still a step up for Tier 3 projects.

Opening Walls for Great Rooms

The single highest-impact change we make on The Colony kitchens is removing the wall between the kitchen and family room on older (1990s–2000s) homes. Engineered with an LVL or steel beam, this transforms the feel of the main level.
