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.
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.
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 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 Carrollton 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 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.”

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 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.
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.
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.
A kitchen remodel in Carrollton 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 $78,000 custom kitchen, expect about $25,000 on fully custom inset or shaker cabinetry. Labor is second at 18–24%.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. We set up a temporary kitchen, contain dust with floor-to-ceiling barriers, and coordinate schedules to minimize disruption.
Yes. We handle HOA architectural review submissions when exterior changes are involved. Interior-only kitchen projects generally do not require HOA approval.

A fixed-price kitchen project from our Plano-based DFW team serving Carrollton 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.
In the DFW kitchen remodels we build, semi-custom cabinetry typically runs $12,000-$28,000 for a full kitchen and offers standard sizes with limited modifications. Fully custom cabinetry generally starts around $30,000 and climbs with wood species (walnut and white oak sit at the premium end), specialty storage inserts, and floor-to-ceiling installations. Custom work maximizes every inch of the layout and tends to hold resale value better in the DFW market. As context, our complete kitchen remodels range from $25,000 to $95,000 depending on scope and finishes.
UHS Remodeling also builds custom kitchens across DFW:
