A fixed-price kitchen project from our Plano-based DFW team serving Rowlett 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.
Most full kitchen remodels in Rowlett run $25,000 to $95,000, depending on layout changes, cabinetry, countertops, and appliance level. A cosmetic refresh of a 1990s kitchen lands near the low end; gutting to the studs, moving walls, and adding custom cabinets and stone counters pushes toward the top. Permits and inspections go through the City of Rowlett Building Safety division (under Community Development), filed via the city’s online MyGov system. A Rowlett-specific cost driver: the city straddles two counties, with everything west of Dalrock Road in Dallas County and everything east in Rockwall County, and a plat must be on file with the correct county before a permit is issued, so kitchen jobs that touch structure or relocate plumbing can carry added plat and coordination steps east of Dalrock. UHS Remodeling works on a fixed-price model with a 3-year workmanship warranty, so your Rowlett kitchen quote is locked before work begins. 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.
Rowlett grew up around Lake Ray Hubbard after the reservoir was finished in 1971, and most of its housing followed in the 1980s, 90s, and 2000s. With a median build year around 1997, a large share of Rowlett kitchens are now 25 to 40 years old, which is exactly when original cabinets, laminate counters, and closed-off galley layouts start feeling dated. In established neighborhoods like Flower Hill and Trails at Cottonwood Creek, we open up the typical “New Traditional” brick home so the kitchen flows into the family room, and in waterfront communities like Waterview and Bayside near the lake, we plan kitchens around the view. UHS Remodeling has completed 5,875+ DFW projects since 2014, and we tailor every Rowlett kitchen to its specific home and lot rather than a one-size template.
We remodel kitchens across Rowlett, including Waterview, Trails at Cottonwood Creek, Bayside, and Flower Hill, plus established South Rowlett neighborhoods.
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 Rowlett 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 Rowlett 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 Rowlett 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 Rowlett 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 that involve plumbing, electrical, or structural changes require a permit from the City of Rowlett Building Safety division, filed through the city’s online MyGov system. Because Rowlett is split between Dallas County (west of Dalrock Road) and Rockwall County (east), the plat must be on file with the correct county before the permit is issued. UHS Remodeling handles the permitting as part of your project.
Much of Rowlett’s housing was built in the 1980s, 90s, and 2000s, with a median build year around 1997, so many kitchens are now hitting the 25-to-40-year mark with original cabinets and closed-off layouts ready to open up. Rowlett also has lakefront homes near Lake Ray Hubbard in communities like Waterview and Bayside, where we plan kitchens around the view and the way families use the space.
Most full kitchen remodels in Rowlett run $25,000 to $95,000. A cosmetic update to a 1990s-era kitchen sits near the lower end, while a full gut with relocated walls, custom cabinetry, and stone countertops moves toward the top. UHS Remodeling quotes every Rowlett kitchen on a fixed-price basis, so the number is set before we start.
Cabinetry is the largest cost in Rowlett kitchen remodels, accounting for 28-35% of the total budget. For a full custom kitchen, cabinetry typically runs 28-35% of total. Labor is the second-largest cost at 18-24%, followed by appliances at 14-20%.
An upgraded semi-custom kitchen remodel in Rowlett takes 5-7 weeks of on-site construction. A full custom kitchen runs 7-10 weeks. Upper-mid projects with wall removal and structural changes can take 10-14 weeks. Add 3-5 weeks before demolition for design, material ordering, and permitting.
Yes. The City of Rowlett Building Inspection Department requires permits for any kitchen remodel involving electrical, plumbing, gas, or structural modifications. UHS Remodeling handles the entire permitting process.
Yes, in most cases. Many older Rowlett homes have load-bearing walls between the kitchen and family room. We engage a licensed Texas structural engineer to confirm the load path, pull a permit, and install an engineered beam (typically an LVL or steel beam). This is the highest-impact structural change on Rowlett Tier 2 and Tier 3 kitchen projects.
For Tier 1 (upgraded semi-custom) kitchens: Decora, Merillat Masterpiece, or KraftMaid shaker and flat-panel lines. For Tier 2 (full custom): local custom shops building inset and framed cabinetry. For Tier 3: premium custom shops with wider selection of finishes and hardware.
For Rowlett kitchens, premium engineered quartz is the best balance of beauty, durability, and price. Top picks: Silestone Eternal Calacatta Gold, Caesarstone Calacatta Nuvo, MSI Q Calacatta Classique. For Tier 2 and Tier 3 projects, natural quartzite (Taj Mahal, Super White) delivers real stone beauty with better durability than marble.
Yes. Most Rowlett kitchen remodels are completed while the homeowner lives in the home. We set up a temporary kitchen area and contain dust with floor-to-ceiling plastic barriers. We coordinate delivery and work schedules to minimize disruption.
A full custom kitchen remodel in Rowlett typically returns 70-85% of project cost on resale. An updated kitchen is the single biggest buyer motivator in the Rowlett market, reducing days-on-market when it is time to sell.
