Average Cost: $20,000-$40,000
Small kitchen remodels focus on maximum efficiency. Limited space means cabinets and appliances have less surface area, reducing costs. However, custom solutions for tight spaces can increase labor costs.
Average Cost: $35,000-$60,000
Most Houston kitchens fall into this category. Medium-sized kitchens allow for island additions, better appliance choices, and more design flexibility. This is the sweet spot for ROI.
Average Cost: $55,000-$100,000+
Large kitchens support open concept designs, high-end appliances, and premium finishes. Greater square footage means more materials and labor, but premium choices drive costs higher.
Understanding kitchen remodeling costs on a per-square-foot basis helps you estimate your project budget more accurately. Houston kitchen remodeling averages $150-$400 per square foot depending on quality level and scope.
| Kitchen Size | Budget ($150-$200/sq ft) |
Mid-Range ($200-$300/sq ft) |
High-End ($300-$400/sq ft) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small (70-100 sq ft) | $10,500-$20,000 | $14,000-$30,000 | $21,000-$40,000 |
| Medium (100-150 sq ft) | $15,000-$30,000 | $20,000-$45,000 | $30,000-$60,000 |
| Large (150-200 sq ft) | $22,500-$40,000 | $30,000-$60,000 | $45,000-$80,000 |
| Extra Large (200-300 sq ft) | $30,000-$60,000 | $40,000-$90,000 | $60,000-$120,000+ |

Kitchen remodeling costs vary significantly across Houston neighborhoods due to differences in home values, local contractor availability, and typical kitchen sizes. Here's what homeowners can expect to pay in major Houston areas for a complete mid-range kitchen remodel (150 sq ft).
| Houston Area | Typical Range | Market Factor |
|---|---|---|
| River Oaks | $45,000-$90,000 | Premium (+30%) |
| Memorial | $40,000-$80,000 | Premium (+25%) |
| The Woodlands | $38,000-$75,000 | Premium (+20%) |

*Based on 150 sq ft mid-range kitchen remodel. Individual project costs vary based on scope, materials, and specific property conditions.
Premium neighborhoods like River Oaks and Memorial have higher home values, driving demand for luxury materials and finishes. Homeowners expect custom cabinetry, designer appliances, and premium countertops that command 25-30% price premiums.
Outlying areas like The Woodlands, Katy, and League City require longer contractor travel times. While this adds minimal direct costs ($200-$500), contractors factor travel time into pricing, especially for specialty subcontractors like tile installers and electricians.
Newer suburban homes (Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands) often feature 180-250 sq ft kitchens, while older inner-loop neighborhoods (The Heights, Montrose) average 120-150 sq ft. Larger kitchens naturally cost more in absolute dollars but may have better per-square-foot efficiency.
Unincorporated areas and smaller municipalities may have simpler permitting processes with lower fees ($400-$800 vs. $1,200-$2,000 for Houston proper). However, neighborhoods in the City of Houston ETJ (Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction) follow strict Houston building codes.
High-end showrooms and specialty material suppliers cluster near The Galleria, River Oaks, and Memorial areas. Homeowners in these neighborhoods have easier access to premium materials, while suburban areas may face longer lead times or delivery fees for specialty products.
Affluent neighborhoods experience higher labor rates due to contractor demand and homeowner willingness to pay for premium service. Contractors in Memorial, River Oaks, and The Woodlands command 15-30% higher labor rates than those primarily serving value-focused markets.

We provide free on-site consultations with neighborhood-specific pricing that accounts for local market factors, typical kitchen sizes, and access to materials.

Cabinetry represents 25-40% of your kitchen remodel budget. Stock cabinets cost $5K-$8K. Semi-custom ranges $12K-$18K. Custom cabinets with premium materials exceed $50K.
Laminate: $2K-$4K | Granite: $5K-$10K | Quartz: $8K-$15K | Marble: $10K-$25K+
Budget brands: $3K-$5K | Mid-range: $7K-$12K | High-end (Wolf, Sub-Zero, Miele): $15K-$30K+
Moving plumbing or electrical can add 20-30% to your budget. Keep your sink, stove, and refrigerator in original locations to minimize costs.
Humidity and heat demand quality ventilation and mold-resistant materials, increasing costs 10-15% above national averages.
Project duration directly impacts labor costs. A well-planned remodel finishes on schedule and within budget.
ROI Analysis: A $50,000 kitchen remodel in Houston returns approximately $30,000-$40,000 (60-80% recovery) when you sell. But the real value comes from daily enjoyment of a modern, functional kitchen.
Intangible Benefits:
Kitchen remodeling costs in Houston range from $30,000 for budget projects to $80,000+ for high-end renovations. Mid-range kitchen remodels average $55,000 and include semi-custom cabinets, granite or quartz countertops, quality appliances, and professional installation. Tell Projects provides free estimates with detailed cost breakdowns for Houston homeowners. Call (832) 572-5798 for your personalized quote.
Cabinetry is typically the most expensive component, accounting for 25-40% of the total kitchen remodeling budget ($8,000-$25,000). Custom cabinets cost more than semi-custom or stock options. Labor for cabinet installation is the second largest expense, especially for complex layouts with custom features like corner cabinets and pull-out storage systems.
Kitchen cabinet costs in Houston vary by type: stock cabinets cost $4,000-$8,000, semi-custom cabinets range from $8,000-$15,000, and custom cabinets cost $15,000-$25,000 or more. Prices include materials and installation. Tell Projects works with multiple cabinet manufacturers to match your budget and style preferences. Cabinet refacing is a budget-friendly alternative at $4,000-$9,000.
Kitchen countertop costs in Houston depend on material: laminate costs $1,500-$3,000, solid surface (Corian) ranges from $2,500-$5,000, granite costs $3,000-$8,000, quartz ranges from $4,000-$10,000, and marble costs $5,000-$15,000. Prices include materials, fabrication, and installation for an average 30-40 square foot kitchen. Quartz is most popular for Houston kitchens due to durability and low maintenance.
A complete kitchen appliance package includes refrigerator ($1,200-$5,000), range or cooktop with oven ($800-$4,000), dishwasher ($500-$2,000), microwave ($200-$1,500), and range hood ($300-$2,000). Budget for $5,000-$20,000 total depending on brand and features. Professional-grade appliances (Viking, Wolf, Sub-Zero) can exceed $30,000. Tell Projects can recommend appliance packages that fit your budget and cooking needs.
Yes, but with significant limitations. A budget kitchen refresh for under $20,000 typically includes cabinet refacing ($4,000-$8,000), painting walls ($500-$1,000), new hardware ($200-$500), new flooring ($2,000-$3,000), basic appliances ($3,000-$5,000), and updated lighting ($1,000-$2,000). Major structural changes, custom cabinets, and luxury finishes are not feasible. Tell Projects can maximize your budget with strategic upgrades.
Most kitchen remodels in Houston take 12-20 weeks from start to completion. Budget remodels with minimal structural changes may finish in 10 weeks. Complex projects with layout changes, structural modifications, or custom cabinetry can extend to 24+ weeks. Timeline includes 2-3 weeks for permits, 4-6 weeks for cabinet fabrication, and 6-12 weeks for installation. Tell Projects provides detailed timeline estimates during your initial consultation.
Yes, Houston requires permits for any kitchen remodel involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes. Permits typically cost $800-$2,000 depending on project scope. Building permits are essential for code compliance, insurance coverage, and home resale value. Tell Projects handles all permit applications and inspections, ensuring your kitchen remodel meets Houston building codes and Harris County regulations.
Kitchen remodeling financing options include home equity loans (5-10% fixed rate), home equity lines of credit (variable rate), personal loans ($5,000-$100,000), contractor financing with promotional 0% APR periods, and cash. Home equity loans typically offer the lowest rates because your home secures the loan. Tell Projects works with multiple financing partners to help Houston homeowners fund their kitchen renovations. We can discuss options during your free consultation.
Kitchen flooring costs in Houston vary by material and square footage: vinyl plank flooring costs $1,500-$3,000 (150-200 sq ft), ceramic tile ranges from $2,000-$4,000, porcelain tile costs $2,500-$5,000, hardwood flooring ranges from $3,000-$6,000, and natural stone (travertine, slate) costs $4,000-$8,000. Prices include materials, underlayment, and professional installation. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is most popular for Houston kitchens due to water resistance and durability.
Cabinet refacing costs $4,000-$9,000 (50-60% savings vs. replacement) and works well if cabinet boxes are structurally sound. Refacing replaces doors, drawer fronts, and hardware while keeping existing boxes. Full cabinet replacement ($8,000-$25,000) is necessary if boxes are damaged, layout needs changing, or you want different dimensions. Tell Projects can assess your cabinets during a free consultation and recommend the most cost-effective option for your Houston kitchen remodel.
Kitchen lighting and electrical upgrades typically cost $2,000-$5,000 for a complete remodel. This includes recessed lighting ($100-$200 per fixture installed), under-cabinet LED lighting ($300-$800), pendant lights over island ($200-$600 each), updated electrical panel if needed ($1,500-$3,000), and additional outlets for appliances ($150-$300 each). Houston electrical code requires GFCI outlets near sinks and sufficient circuits for modern appliances. Tell Projects includes licensed electricians for all kitchen electrical work.
Kitchen remodels in Houston typically return 60-80% of investment at resale, with minor remodels recovering slightly more (75-80%) than major remodels (60-70%). A $55,000 mid-range kitchen remodel adds approximately $38,000-$44,000 to home value. Houston's strong real estate market favors updated kitchens. Modern kitchens also help homes sell faster (10-20 days quicker than comparable homes with outdated kitchens). Tell Projects focuses on upgrades that maximize both enjoyment and resale value.
Moving kitchen plumbing costs $1,500-$4,000 depending on distance and complexity. Relocating a sink 3-5 feet costs $1,500-$2,500. Moving plumbing across the room or to an island costs $3,000-$4,000 due to additional drain lines and possible floor cutting. Houston's slab foundations may require breaking concrete ($800-$1,500 additional). Tell Projects recommends keeping plumbing in existing locations when possible to control costs. Our licensed plumbers ensure all work meets Houston plumbing codes.
Hidden kitchen remodeling costs often include structural repairs discovered during demolition ($1,000-$5,000), plumbing or electrical code updates required by Houston inspectors ($500-$2,000), appliance delivery and installation fees ($200-$500), permit fees ($800-$2,000), waste removal and dumpster rental ($400-$800), and temporary kitchen setup ($200-$500). Budget an additional 10-20% contingency fund for unexpected issues. Tell Projects provides transparent estimates and communicates any necessary changes before proceeding with additional work.
