A fixed-price kitchen project from our Plano-based DFW team serving Highland Park 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.
A Highland Park kitchen remodel typically runs $85,000 to $300,000, reflecting the Park Cities luxury market rather than standard DFW pricing. The range reflects custom cabinetry, stone, and professional-grade appliances common to these estates. Permits are issued by the Town of Highland Park Department of Building Inspection (under Development Services), with digital submittals through the town’s OpenGov system. A Highland-Park-specific cost driver is that every trade touching the job, including general, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical, must be both licensed by the State of Texas and registered with the Town of Highland Park before work begins, which keeps the trade pool selective. On top of that, the town’s strict zoning and architectural standards on these built-out 1910s-1920s homes mean structural changes, ceiling reworks, and matching historic millwork add scope a newer suburban kitchen would not. UHS works on a fixed-price model backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty, so the estimate you approve is the price you pay. 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.
Highland Park kitchens carry the weight of a town built out in 1907 by John Armstrong and Hugh Prather, where the architecture runs to Tudor and English manor, Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial, French country, Georgian, and Colonial Revival, with Prairie-style and Craftsman bungalows in Old Highland Park. The kitchens inside these early-20th-century estates were rarely designed for how families cook and entertain now, so remodeling here is a careful exercise: opening compartmentalized service kitchens and butler’s pantries, reworking ceiling heights and millwork, and matching new cabinetry to original detailing. UHS Remodeling has completed 5,875+ projects across DFW since 2014, and in Highland Park that experience means respecting the period character of a Beverly Street or St. Johns Avenue home while delivering the chef-grade, light-filled kitchen its owners expect.
We remodel kitchens throughout Highland Park, including Old Highland Park around Connor Park, Highland Park West (the 1924 expansion near the Dallas North Tollway), the West of Preston streets (Beverly, Versailles, and Belclaire), and homes near Highland Park Village and the Dallas Country Club.
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 Highland Park 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 Highland Park 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 Highland Park 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.
Ranges are for a typical 200–350 sq ft Highland Park kitchen, materials and labor included.
All ranges include design, materials, labor, permits, and 3-year warranty. Sourced against NARI Cost vs. Value 2025 regional benchmarks.
Same layout, new everything: semi-custom cabinetry, quartz counters, tile backsplash, sink and fixtures, paint and lighting refresh.
The layout changes: soffit removed, wall opened to the living space, new island, relocated plumbing and electrical, layered lighting design.
Shop-built cabinetry drawn for the house, slab stone, professional appliance package, butler’s pantry or scullery, and adjoining spaces brought along.
Your design lead, May N., personally guides cabinet, countertop, and tile selections for your kitchen.

Yes. Kitchen remodels are permitted through the Town of Highland Park Department of Building Inspection, with digital submittals through the town’s OpenGov system. Because the work involves plumbing and electrical, and sometimes mechanical or structural changes, every trade must be licensed by the State of Texas and registered with the Town of Highland Park. UHS handles the permitting and coordinates the licensed, town-registered trades.
That is the most common request we get here. Many Highland Park homes date to the 1910s and 1920s in Tudor, English manor, Mediterranean, Georgian, and Colonial Revival styles, with original millwork worth preserving. We open up dated service kitchens and butler’s pantries for modern cooking and entertaining while matching cabinetry profiles, trim, and proportions to the home’s period detailing, all within the town’s architectural standards.
Most Highland Park kitchen remodels fall between $85,000 and $300,000, in line with the Park Cities luxury market. The figure depends on whether you keep the existing footprint or reconfigure a compartmentalized 1910s-1920s service kitchen, the level of custom cabinetry and stone, and appliance selection. UHS quotes a fixed price up front, backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty, so there are no moving numbers after you approve the estimate.
Cabinetry accounts for 28-35% of the total. For a $200,000 luxury kitchen, expect about $64,000 on hand-painted or beaded-inset custom cabinets. Labor is the second-largest cost at 18-24%.
Upper-mid kitchens take 8-12 weeks. Full luxury kitchens run 12-16 weeks. Estate-scale projects take 16-24 weeks of construction. Add 6-10 weeks for design, permitting, and material ordering.
Yes. The Town of Highland Park has its own building department separate from the City of Dallas. Kitchen remodels involving electrical, plumbing, gas, or structural work require permits. UHS handles the entire permitting process.
Yes. We design kitchens that match your home’s architectural language – Tudor Revival, Georgian Colonial, Mediterranean, or modern. We match crown molding profiles, hardware finishes, and material palettes.
Natural quartzite and Calacatta marble are the top choices. Quartzite offers marble beauty with superior durability. Calacatta marble is the ultimate luxury option but requires sealing and maintenance.
Wolf or Thermador ranges, Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator columns, Miele or Bosch integrated dishwashers, and Wolf steam ovens. For estate kitchens, imported La Cornue, Lacanche, and Ilve ranges.
Yes. We coordinate with designers on finish selections, material sourcing, hardware, and timelines. We also work with architects for structural modifications. Full design-build service available in-house.
