How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Plano?

A full kitchen remodel in Plano typically runs $25,000 to $95,000 with UHS Remodeling, quoted as a fixed price up front. Where you land depends on layout changes, cabinetry grade, counters, and appliances: a refresh of a 1990s Deerfield or Hunters Glen kitchen sits lower in the range, while gutting to the studs, relocating plumbing, and opening walls for an island in a larger West Plano home pushes toward the top. Permits for this work are issued by the City of Plano Building Inspections Department under its “Residential Additions & Alterations” category, and inspections are required when you move walls or alter plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems. A Plano-specific cost driver: so much of the housing stock is that original 30-to-40-year-old build-out, so opening a closed kitchen often means removing a load-bearing wall, abating a dropped soffit, and updating dated wiring behind the cabinets before any new finishes go in. 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.

Process

How we build a kitchen remodel.

Fixed scope and a written schedule before anyone swings a hammer in your house.

Most kitchens we remodel in Plano sit inside homes from the city’s big 1980s and 1990s build-out, when the median Plano home went up around 1993. Walk into a two-story brick “New Traditional” in Deerfield or a ranch-style home in Russell Creek and you’ll often find the original kitchen: oak cabinets, a closed-off galley layout, laminate counters, and a soffit boxing in the ceiling. Thirty-plus years later, those layouts feel dark and cramped against how Plano families actually cook and gather. UHS Remodeling opens these footprints up, replaces builder-grade finishes, and reworks the wall between kitchen and living space for the open-concept feel buyers in Willow Bend and West Plano now expect. With 5,875+ projects across DFW since 2014, a fixed-price model, and 500+ five-star reviews, we remodel Plano kitchens for the homes that are actually here.

We remodel kitchens across Plano, from Willow Bend, Deerfield, and Legacy West to Hunters Glen, Russell Creek, Los Rios, Kings Ridge, and the older West Plano Estates enclave.

From our design lead
“The Plano 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 Plano 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.

Neighborhoods

Plano neighborhoods we know by heart.

Most of Plano’s housing stock went up between 1985 and 2002, which means we already know what is behind the wall before we open it — the soffit framing, the bulkhead, the way the HVAC trunk runs over the galley. That is why our schedules hold.

FAQ

Plano kitchen questions, answered.

Kitchen lighting
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Plano, TX?

With UHS Remodeling, a full kitchen remodel in Plano generally runs $25,000 to $95,000 as a fixed price. A cosmetic update to a 1990s Deerfield or Hunters Glen kitchen sits at the lower end, while a full gut that relocates plumbing and opens walls for an island in a larger West Plano home moves toward the top of the range.

Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in Plano?

Yes. The City of Plano Building Inspections Department issues kitchen remodel permits under its “Residential Additions & Alterations” category whenever you move walls or alter plumbing, electrical, or mechanical systems. UHS handles permitting and the required inspections as part of our fixed-price scope, with separate sign-offs for the plumbing, electrical, and any structural work.

Why do so many Plano kitchens need a full remodel?

Plano’s housing stock is dominated by the 1980s and 1990s build-out, with a citywide median construction year around 1993. That means many homes in neighborhoods like Russell Creek, Deerfield, and West Plano Estates still have original kitchens that are now 30-to-40-plus years old, with closed-off layouts, builder-grade cabinets, and dated wiring that owners want opened up and modernized.

How long does a kitchen remodel take in Plano?

A kitchen remodel in Plano typically takes 6 to 10 weeks from contract to final walkthrough. A cosmetic refresh can be done in 3 to 4 weeks, while a full gut with layout changes runs 10 to 16 weeks. Cabinetry lead time is usually the biggest variable, so we order early and sequence trades to keep the schedule tight.

Will my kitchen be unusable during the remodel?

Yes, generally for 4 to 6 weeks of the build. We set up a temporary kitchen station with your microwave, coffee maker, and a portable cooktop in a designated area before demolition begins.

Can I keep my existing cabinets?

We can if they’re in good structural condition. Cabinet refacing — new doors, drawer fronts, paint or wood-veneer — costs 30-40% less than full replacement and gives a fresh look. Most full kitchen remodels still replace because layout changes make sense.

Do you handle the appliances or do I buy them?

Either way works. We can supply ENERGY STAR appliances at our wholesale pricing, or you buy direct and we install. We coordinate with your appliance dealer on dimensions before cabinets are ordered.

What’s included in your fixed price?

Design, cabinets, countertops, plumbing, electrical, lighting, paint, backsplash tile, hardware, appliance installation, permits, debris removal, and final cleaning. No allowances — your quote is the price.

Do you pull permits or do I?

We pull every permit. Homeowner-pulled permits are a red flag and we will not work that way.

What kind of warranty do you offer?

3-year workmanship warranty on all installation work. Manufacturer warranties on appliances and fixtures pass through directly to you.

How is your pricing structured?

Fixed price after design is locked. No hourly billing, no allowances, no surprise change orders unless YOU change scope — and every change order is signed by you before work begins.

What is the cost difference between semi-custom and fully custom cabinetry in a kitchen remodel?

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.
