Kitchen Remodeling in Westlake
We rebuild kitchens while you keep living in your home. Floors get covered, dust gets walled off, and we clean up before we leave each day. You get a kitchen that works better and a house that still feels like yours during the job.
A new kitchen without a wrecked house
Kitchen remodeling is the right call when small fixes stop making sense. The layout fights you, the plumbing is tired, or the room just doesn't fit how your family cooks and eats. We plan the new space, tear out the old one and build it back, including the plumbing, electrical, walls, flooring and paint.
A kitchen sits in the middle of the house, so the mess has a way of spreading. We set up protection before any demolition starts and keep it in place until the last day. Every evening the tools get put away and the floors get swept and vacuumed. You should be able to walk through your home at night without stepping around debris.
If the kitchen is part of a bigger plan, our whole home remodeling page covers projects that reach past one room.
What the work includes
Layout and planning
We measure the room, talk through how you use it and sketch a layout that fixes the problems you live with now. Moving a sink, opening a wall or adding an island all get worked out here, before anything comes down.
Demolition and haul-off
Old materials come out in a controlled way and go straight out of the house. We don't pile debris in your garage or on the lawn for days.
Walls and openings
We remove or rework walls to open the kitchen to the living area, and we check first whether a wall carries load. Drywall, texture and paint are part of the job so the room looks finished.
Plumbing and electrical changes
New sink locations, gas or water lines for appliances, added outlets and dedicated circuits for things like a range or microwave. We pull the permits these changes need.
Flooring
We take up old flooring, check the subfloor or slab, and lay new flooring that suits a busy kitchen.
Appliance and fixture hookup
We set and connect your appliances, sink and faucet, then test everything before we call the job done.
Signs your kitchen is ready for a remodel
- The layout gets in the way
- Two people can't work at once, the fridge door blocks a walkway, or the sink is nowhere near the stove. Paint won't fix that. A new layout will.
- Water damage under the sink
- Soft spots, stains or a musty smell point to slow leaks. Once the floor or wall behind it is damaged, it is usually smart to fix it properly as part of a remodel.
- Breakers trip when you cook
- Running the microwave and toaster together shouldn't kill the power. Older kitchens often lack the circuits modern appliances need.
- Worn or lifting floors
- Cracked tile, peeling vinyl or seams that catch your foot are wear signs, and sometimes they hide moisture underneath.
- The kitchen is closed off
- If you can't see the family room while you cook, opening a wall can change how the whole house feels.
How a kitchen job runs

Plan and permits
Once you sign off, we finalize the layout, order materials and pull the permits. We give you a start date and tell you which rooms we'll need access to.

Protection goes up first
Day one starts with floor covering from the door to the kitchen, plastic dust walls with zipper doors and covered vents. Nothing gets torn out until that's in place.

Work with cleanup every day
We work through demolition, rough-in, inspections and finish work. At the end of each day we sweep, vacuum, bag the trash and leave the area safe.

Final walkthrough
We pull the protection, do a full clean and walk the kitchen with you. Anything that isn't right goes on a list, and we fix it.
What changes the price of a kitchen remodel
We price each kitchen by itself. The largest differences come from how much of the room changes and what shows up once the old finishes are removed. Each item is listed on your written estimate, so you can see the cost of every part and choose what matters most.
- How much changes
- Updating a kitchen within its current footprint is cheaper than moving walls and rebuilding the room from scratch.
- Relocating plumbing
- Most local homes are built on concrete slabs. Shifting a sink or putting one in an island may mean cutting into the slab, which adds time and labor.
- Electrical work
- Added circuits, a bigger panel or a gas line for a new range each raise the price.
- What turns up inside the walls
- Once things are opened, rot, past leaks or outdated wiring need fixing. You see photos and we talk it over before any extra work starts.
- Your material picks
- Prices for flooring, fixtures and finishes vary a lot. We can quote choices next to each other.
Questions about kitchen remodels
- Can we keep living in the house while you work?
- Yes, most families stay. Plastic dust barriers close off the kitchen, and the route we take through the house gets covered. Expect to set up a small stand-in kitchen elsewhere with a microwave and a coffee maker.
- How much time does a kitchen remodel take?
- It depends on the scope and how fast inspections get booked. Keeping the current layout moves quicker than relocating plumbing or walls. A timeline comes with your written estimate, and if an inspection or a late delivery pushes a date, we tell you right away.
- Should I clear out the kitchen first?
- Yes, please pack up dishes, food and everything in the drawers or on the counters. Moving the appliances and covering furniture nearby is our job.
- Will dust spread to other rooms?
- We do a lot to keep it inside the kitchen. Dust walls, covered vents and vacuuming every day stop most of it. A little fine dust is tough to block entirely, so we finish with a full cleaning.
- Will you get the permits?
- Yes. If plumbing, electrical or wall work calls for a permit, we file for it and book the inspections, so you never have to deal with the city.
- Do you take jobs beyond Westlake?
- Yes. We also remodel kitchens in close-by towns such as Southlake, Keller, Trophy Club and Grapevine.
