Kitchen Remodel Cost Guide
The short answer
In Denton and the surrounding DFW area, a kitchen remodel typically runs $15,000–$30,000 for a cosmetic refresh, $40,000–$75,000 for a mid-range remodel with quality materials and layout changes, and $75,000–$150,000+ for a full custom high-end kitchen. Most Denton projects land in the mid-range.
You can already picture it. Sunday coffee at a new island, dinners around counters that finally work for how you cook. The first question everyone asks is the practical one: what’s this actually going to cost?
Most of what we build is full kitchen transformations, mid-range and up. But an honest guide covers every level, so based on dozens of completed kitchens across Denton, Argyle, Flower Mound, and the surrounding DFW area since 2017, here are the real ranges top to bottom, and what you get at each one.
The lightest option, closer to a cosmetic update than a full remodel. No moving walls or plumbing, just refreshing the surfaces already there. A fine starting point, though most homeowners after a real transformation land higher.
- Stock cabinets (big-box quality)
- Laminate or basic quartz counters
- Vinyl or laminate flooring
- Simple subway tile backsplash
- Paint and basic lighting upgrades
- Keep or budget-swap appliances
Quality materials, layout flexibility, and finishes built to last. Most clients adjust within this range based on what matters most, premium counters or premium appliances, semi-custom or full-custom cabinets.
- Semi-custom soft-close cabinets
- Quartz counters, good color range
- Hardwood or quality tile floors
- Custom tile backsplash
- Recessed plus under-cabinet LED
- New mid-range stainless appliances
- Minor layout changes (sink, island)
Custom everything, no compromises. The forever kitchen, including structural changes.
- Full custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry
- Custom range hood focal point
- Quartzite, marble, or premium quartz
- High-end appliances (Wolf, Sub-Zero)
- Custom lighting design
- Pull-out pantry and custom storage
- Glass-front cabinets, interior lighting
- Major layout, walls, and plumbing
Beyond this sits ultra-luxury, architect-designed kitchens that can run $200K, $500K, and up. Real, but beyond what most Denton homeowners are planning, so this guide stops at the ranges that fit the majority.
