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–$300 per square foot, depending on tier.
Cosmetic refresh
$20,000–$35,000
Same layout. New counters, backsplash, paint or cabinet refacing, updated hardware and lighting.
Mid-range remodel
$35,000–$65,000
New cabinets, counters, tile, fixtures, and lighting, plus minor layout tweaks — an island, a moved sink.
Full gut / high-end
$65,000–$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.
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

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–$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.
