The short answer

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Carrollton?

A full kitchen remodel in Carrollton typically runs $25,000 to $95,000, with most homeowners landing in the middle once you account for new cabinetry, countertops, appliances, lighting, and labor. A cosmetic refresh sits near the low end; a gut renovation that relocates plumbing or removes a load-bearing wall pushes toward the top. Permits for this work go through the City of Carrollton Building Inspection department (submitted via the CityServe portal under “Remodels & Additions to Single-Family Dwellings”). One Carrollton-specific cost driver: many of the city’s 1980s and earlier homes have load-bearing walls between the kitchen and living areas, so the open-concept layouts homeowners want here often require an engineered beam and structural framing — a real line item that raises the budget versus a same-footprint cabinet swap. Carrollton also requires any contractor to be both Texas-licensed and registered with the city before a permit is issued. UHS works on a fixed-price model, so your number is locked before demolition starts. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW home remodel cost guide.

01 · Process

How we build a kitchen remodel in Carrollton.

Carrollton kitchens tell the story of a built-out suburb where the median home dates to roughly 1987-88 — which means most of the kitchens we remodel here are 35 to 40-plus years old and on their second renovation cycle. In the older ranch streets near I-35E, we routinely take down the wall between a closed-off 1970s galley kitchen and the living room to create the open-concept layout buyers in Indian Creek, Country Place, and Josey Ranch now expect. In the heavy wave of 1980s traditional brick homes, the work is usually gutting builder-grade oak cabinets, laminate counters, and dated soffits. And in the master-planned Castle Hills homes on Carrollton’s western edge, the scope skews toward higher-end custom islands and finishes. Whatever the era, UHS Remodeling brings a fixed-price kitchen plan tailored to your home’s bones, not a generic template.

We remodel kitchens across Carrollton — Castle Hills, Josey Ranch, Country Place, Indian Creek, Valley Ranch, Saddlebrook Estates, and the older homes around Historic Downtown Carrollton near the DART Green Line.

The Carrollton 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 Carrollton kitchens look settled the day we hand them over.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Carrollton?
+
Most full kitchen remodels in Carrollton run $25,000 to $95,000. A cosmetic update — new counters, backsplash, paint, and refinished or reface cabinets — sits at the lower end, while a complete gut that moves plumbing, adds an island, or opens up a wall lands higher. UHS Remodeling quotes Carrollton kitchens on a fixed-price basis, so the number is set before work begins.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Carrollton?
+
Yes. Kitchen remodels are permitted through the City of Carrollton Building Inspection department under its “Remodels & Additions to Single-Family Dwellings” category, submitted through the CityServe portal. Carrollton also requires your contractor to be licensed by the State of Texas and registered with the city before a permit is issued. UHS handles the permitting and inspections for your project.
Can you open up the kitchen in an older Carrollton ranch home?
+
Yes — it’s one of our most common Carrollton kitchen projects. Many homes in the city’s 1950s-1980s ranch and traditional-brick neighborhoods have a wall separating a closed-off kitchen from the living area. Removing it for an open-concept layout often means installing an engineered beam, so we coordinate the structural framing, plumbing, and electrical as one fixed-price scope.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Carrollton, TX?
+
A kitchen remodel in Carrollton typically ranges from $25,000 to $95,000, depending on size, materials, and finish level.
What is the most expensive part of a Carrollton kitchen remodel?
+
Cabinetry accounts for 28–35% of the total. For a $78,000 custom kitchen, expect about $25,000 on fully custom inset or shaker cabinetry. Labor is second at 18–24%.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Carrollton?
+
Upgraded semi-custom kitchens take 6–8 weeks. Full custom kitchens run 8–12 weeks. Upper-mid projects with structural changes take 12–16 weeks. Add 4–6 weeks for design, materials, and permitting.
Does Carrollton require permits for kitchen remodeling?
+
Yes. The City of Carrollton Building Inspection department requires permits for kitchen remodels involving electrical, plumbing, gas, or structural work. UHS handles the full permitting process.
Can I open up a wall between my kitchen and living room in Carrollton?
+
Yes. We engage a licensed Texas structural engineer, pull a permit, and install an engineered beam (LVL or steel). This is the highest-impact change on Tier 2 and Tier 3 Carrollton kitchen projects.
What cabinet brands do you use on Carrollton kitchens?
+
Tier 1: Decora, Merillat Masterpiece, or KraftMaid. Tier 2: local custom shops building inset and framed cabinetry. Tier 3: premium custom shops matching Park Cities luxury specifications.
What countertop material is best for a Carrollton kitchen?
+
Premium engineered quartz (Silestone, Caesarstone, MSI) is the best balance for 80% of Carrollton kitchens. Natural quartzite (Taj Mahal, Super White) for Tier 2 and Tier 3 upgrades.
Can I remodel my Carrollton kitchen while living in the house?
+
Yes. We set up a temporary kitchen, contain dust with floor-to-ceiling barriers, and coordinate schedules to minimize disruption.
Do you work with Castle Hills, The Highlands, and Austin Waters HOAs?
+
Yes. We handle HOA architectural review submissions when exterior changes are involved. Interior-only kitchen projects generally do not require HOA approval.
