The short answer

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in The Colony?

Most kitchen remodels in The Colony run $25,000 to $95,000, with the figure set by scope: a mid-range refresh of an original Fox & Jacobs-era kitchen lands lower, while a full gut with relocated plumbing, an opened wall, and premium finishes in a Tribute home reaches the top. UHS works on a fixed-price model with a 3-year workmanship warranty, so the number is set before we start. Permits are issued by the City of The Colony Building Inspections Department through its eTRAKiT online portal, with plan review tied to the Planning and Development Department. A city-specific cost driver here is the age of the housing stock: many 1970s-90s homes have original wiring, undersized panels, and cast or galvanized plumbing that no longer meets code, so bringing a 40-year-old kitchen up to standard often adds electrical and plumbing work that newer-build cities don’t require.

01 · Process

How we build a kitchen remodel in The Colony.

The Colony earned its “City by the Lake” name on the shores of Lewisville Lake, and its kitchens tell two very different stories. Much of the city grew from the affordable Fox & Jacobs tract homes that started in 1973, with families moving in from fall 1974 onward, so a large share of The Colony’s kitchens are now 30 to 50 years old. In neighborhoods like Eastvale, Austin Ranch, and the Legends, that means original 1970s-90s galley layouts, soffited drop ceilings, laminate counters, and closed-off walls that homeowners want opened toward family living. At the other end, The Tribute’s 2000s lakefront and golf-course homes call for higher-end kitchen upgrades. UHS Remodeling has completed 5,875+ projects across DFW since 2014, and our kitchen work in The Colony bridges both: modernizing dated starter homes and refining premium Tribute and Stewart Peninsula kitchens.

We remodel kitchens across The Colony — from the original Fox & Jacobs sections in Eastvale, Austin Ranch, and the Legends to the lakefront and golf-course homes in The Tribute, Stewart Peninsula, Waterford Point, and the Coyote Ridge area.

The The Colony 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 The Colony kitchens look settled the day we hand them over.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in The Colony?
+
Kitchen remodels in The Colony generally range from $25,000 to $95,000. A refresh of an original 1970s-90s Fox & Jacobs-era kitchen sits at the lower end, while a full gut with relocated plumbing, a removed wall, and premium finishes in a Tribute home reaches the upper end. UHS prices every job up front on a fixed-price basis with a 3-year workmanship warranty.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen in The Colony?
+
Yes. Kitchen remodels are permitted through the City of The Colony Building Inspections Department using its eTRAKiT online portal, with plan review tied to the Planning and Development Department. Because most kitchen projects involve plumbing and electrical changes, those trades are inspected as part of the permit. UHS handles the permitting and inspections for you.
Why do older homes in The Colony often cost more to remodel?
+
Much of The Colony’s housing is starter and tract homes built from the mid-1970s through the 1990s, so many kitchens are 30 to 50 years old. These homes frequently have original wiring, undersized electrical panels, and aging plumbing that must be brought up to current code during a remodel — work that adds cost compared with a newer build but protects the home long-term.
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in The Colony, TX?
+
A kitchen remodel in The Colony typically ranges from $25,000 to $95,000, depending on size, materials, and finish level.
What is the most expensive part of a The Colony kitchen remodel?

+
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.
Does The Colony require permits for kitchen remodeling?
+
Yes. The Colony Building Inspection Department requires permits for kitchen remodels involving electrical, plumbing, gas, or structural work. UHS handles the full permitting process.
Can I open up a wall between my kitchen and living room in The Colony?
+
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 The Colony kitchen projects.
What cabinet brands do you use on The Colony kitchens?
+
Tier 1: Decora, Merillat Masterpiece, or KraftMaid. Tier 2 and 3: local custom shops building inset and framed cabinetry.
What countertop material is best for a The Colony kitchen?
+
Premium engineered quartz (Silestone, Caesarstone, MSI) is the best balance for 80% of The Colony kitchens. Natural quartzite for Tier 2 and Tier 3 upgrades.
Do you build butler’s pantries on The Colony kitchen projects?
+
Yes. A typical butler’s pantry adds $8,000–$15,000 to the project and includes glass-front upper cabinets, under-cabinet lighting, a second sink, and a wine refrigerator.
Can I remodel my The Colony kitchen while living in the house?
+
Yes. We set up a temporary kitchen, contain dust with floor-to-ceiling barriers, and coordinate schedules to minimize disruption.
