Most kitchen remodels in Murphy run $25,000-$95,000, with the spread driven by whether you refresh within the existing footprint or reconfigure the layout. A cabinet-and-counter update with new appliances lands near the lower end; gutting to the studs, relocating plumbing, and opening the kitchen to the family room pushes toward the top. UHS works on a fixed-price model, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Permits for Murphy kitchen work are pulled from the City of Murphy Building Inspection Division (Permits & Inspections) at City Hall — not Collin County, since Murphy is incorporated. The biggest local cost driver is Murphy’s housing profile itself: these are large early-2000s homes where original kitchens open to soaring two-story great rooms, so removing a wall or extending an island often means engineered structural work plus rerouting electrical and gas the builder ran for a closed floor plan. Mandatory HOAs in most subdivisions can also add design-review steps. For a line-item look at where the money goes, see our DFW home remodel cost guide.
Murphy went from a 1,500-person farming community to a built-out suburb almost overnight after the President George Bush Turnpike opened in 2000, and roughly 75-80% of its homes were built since then. That timing matters for kitchen remodeling: most Murphy kitchens are now 15-25-year-old original-builder spaces, with early-2000s cabinets, laminate or first-generation granite counters, and builder-grade appliances all reaching the end of their first life at the same time. Murphy also skews toward big brick homes — the city has a higher share of 4, 5, and 6+ bedroom houses than almost any community in the country — so kitchens here tend to be large, open to two-story family rooms, and central to how the house lives. In Maxwell Creek, Rolling Ridge Estates, and Murphy Farms, UHS Remodeling updates these dated-but-spacious kitchens into the open, modern hubs Murphy families actually want.
We remodel kitchens across Murphy’s planned communities — Maxwell Creek and Maxwell Creek North, Rolling Ridge Estates, and Murphy Farms — as well as the older ranch-style homes on larger lots scattered throughout the city.
“The Murphy 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 Murphy kitchens look settled the day we hand them over.”
