Cost Guide
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Dallas?
Straight answers, no lead form to see a number games. Here are typical 2026 ranges for the Dallas market, what actually drives the price, and how to get a number specific to your kitchen.
These are typical ranges, not quotes. Every kitchen is different.
Typical ranges by scope
A rough rule of thumb: $150 to $300 per square foot, depending on tier.
Cosmetic refresh
$20,000 to $35,000
Same layout. New counters, backsplash, paint or cabinet refacing, updated hardware and lighting.
Mid range remodel
$35,000 to $65,000
New cabinets, counters, tile, fixtures, and lighting, plus minor layout tweaks like an island or a moved sink.
Full gut / high end
$65,000 to $150,000+
Layout changes, custom cabinetry, premium counters and appliances, structural or plumbing moves.
Boxes solid but the look dated? Cabinet refacing gets you most of the cosmetic refresh result for less. And for what a full remodel actually includes, see our kitchen remodeling page.
The house moves the number too. A 2000s builder kitchen, an original 1920s galley and a custom home on acreage each plan out differently. See what we plan for in Frisco, Fairview and Highland Park.
What actually drives the cost
Same square footage, very different price tags. Here's why.
- Cabinets: stock vs. semi custom vs. custom
- Countertop material: laminate, quartz, natural stone
- Layout changes & moved plumbing or electrical
- Appliance tier & whether they're included
- Flooring material and how much is replaced
- Structural work: removed walls, new windows
Cost FAQ
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Dallas?
Most Dallas kitchen remodels run $20,000 to $150,000+ depending on scope. A cosmetic refresh (same layout, new surfaces) starts around $20k; a full gut with a layout change and custom cabinetry can run $150k or more. A good rule of thumb is $150 to $300 per square foot.
What's the average cost of a kitchen remodel in Highland Park?
Highland Park kitchens skew toward the mid range and full gut tiers given the age and size of the housing stock. Figure $50,000 to $150,000+ for most projects, with premium finishes pushing higher. A free walkthrough gets you a real number for your kitchen.
What's the single biggest driver of kitchen remodel cost?
Cabinetry, almost always. Stock cabinets and custom cabinetry can differ by tens of thousands of dollars for the same footprint. Layout changes that move plumbing or electrical are the second biggest driver.
Is it cheaper to reface cabinets than replace them?
Yes, usually significantly. Refacing keeps your existing boxes and layout and swaps doors, fronts, and hardware. See our cabinet refacing page for typical scope and timeline.
Are these prices quotes?
No, these are typical ranges based on the Dallas market, not quotes for your project. Every kitchen is different. The only way to get a real number is a free walkthrough with the Teddy team.
