A kitchen remodel in Garland generally runs $25,000 to $95,000, with most mid-range full remodels landing in the middle of that band and high-end custom kitchens reaching the top. Where a project falls depends on layout changes, cabinetry grade, countertops, and appliances. Permits for the work are issued by the City of Garland Building Inspection Department, which handles residential remodels including major renovations and the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC permits a kitchen often triggers. The biggest Garland-specific cost driver is the city’s older 1960s-1980s housing stock: these homes frequently have load-bearing walls between the kitchen and adjacent rooms, original galvanized or cast-iron plumbing, undersized electrical panels, and soffited ceilings hiding ductwork. Opening a wall for an island, adding a beam, relocating the sink, and bringing wiring up to current code all add scope that a newer home would not require, which is why thoughtful budgeting matters here. 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.
Garland kitchens carry the fingerprints of a post-WWII boom town: most of the city’s homes went up between the 1960s and 1980s, when the population quadrupled and then doubled again, so the typical Garland house is now 45-plus years old. That means traditional and ranch-style single-family homes with the original kitchen still in place: a compartmentalized galley walled off from the den, soffits hiding old ductwork, single-pane windows, and a small footprint built for a 1970s family. In established neighborhoods like Duck Creek, Eastern Hills, Camelot, Centerville, and Club Hill near Lake Ray Hubbard, homeowners are opening these closed-off kitchens into the living space, replacing decades-old cabinetry and laminate, and re-routing aging plumbing and wiring. Newer pockets around Firewheel are the exception. UHS Remodeling has completed 5,875+ projects across DFW since 2014, with a fixed-price model and a 3-year workmanship warranty.
We remodel kitchens across Garland, from Duck Creek, Eastern Hills, Camelot, Centerville, Embree, and Spring Park to Club Hill near Lake Ray Hubbard and the newer Firewheel area.
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 Garland 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 Garland 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 Garland 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.

Yes. Kitchen remodels are permitted through the City of Garland Building Inspection Department, and the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC changes a kitchen typically involves each require their own permits and inspections. As your contractor, UHS handles pulling permits and scheduling inspections so the work is documented and code-compliant.
Garland’s housing stock is largely from the 1960s through 1980s, so many kitchens still have their original galley layout walled off from the living areas, soffited ceilings concealing ductwork, aging cast-iron or galvanized plumbing, and an undersized electrical panel. Opening up the space, adding a structural beam, relocating the sink, and bringing wiring to current code add scope that a newer home would not need, which is the main reason these remodels take more planning than a cosmetic update.
Most Garland kitchen remodels run $25,000 to $95,000. Smaller refresh-style updates fall toward the lower end, while full remodels that open walls, relocate plumbing, and use custom cabinetry and premium countertops land higher. Because so many Garland homes date to the 1960s-1980s, opening a closed-off kitchen and updating original plumbing and wiring is a common reason projects move up in scope. UHS works on a fixed-price model, so your quote is locked before work starts.
Cabinetry accounts for 28–35% of the total. For a $55,000 custom kitchen, expect about $17,500 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 Garland 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 Garland 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 Garland 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.
