AfterCabinets & Countertops in Dallas, TX
Cabinet and countertop work in Dallas usually means one of two things: you’re replacing surfaces and boxes that have outlived their usefulness, or you’re rebuilding the kitchen’s core with our Kitchen Remodeling services so it finally works the way your household actually cooks and lives. At Penhallow Remodeling Dallas, we handle both. We price the job in writing before we order a single cabinet, and every install carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if something fails inside that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. You can reach us at (940) 204-5368 to talk through what you’re seeing in your kitchen.
This work sits inside our broader Kitchen Remodeling in Dallas service, but it stands on its own as a focused project. Maybe the cabinet frames are solid and the doors are shot. Maybe the countertop has a crack running from the sink cutout to the backsplash. Maybe water got into the toe-kick and the base cabinets are swelling at the bottom. Those are cabinet-and-countertop jobs, not full-gut remodels, and they deserve their own honest scope and price.

When You Need Cabinets & Countertops
You don’t need Full Kitchen Remodeling to have a kitchen that’s letting you down. Here’s what we see most often in Dallas homes, from Lakewood to Richardson to Carrollton:
- Swollen or water-damaged base cabinets. The area around the sink and dishwasher takes on moisture year after year. In Dallas’s clay-heavy soil, houses shift subtly, and that movement can crack caulk lines and let water find the particleboard. If your cabinet bottoms are soft or the laminate is peeling at the edge, the structural box may need replacing even if the doors still look fine.
- Cracked or chipped countertops. Quartz and granite are tough, but they’re not indestructible. A dropped cast-iron skillet, a thermal shock from a hot pan set directly on the surface, or settling in an older pier-and-beam home can leave a crack that runs across the slab. Once a crack reaches the sink cutout, water gets underneath and the problem compounds.
- Doors that won’t stay aligned. Hinges wear. Frames shift. You find yourself nudging a door closed with your hip every time you walk past. That’s not just friction; it often means the cabinet face frame has moved out of square, and adjusting the hinge only masks it for a few weeks.
- Layout that fights you. A peninsula that blocks the dishwasher door. A corner cabinet you can’t reach into without lying on the floor. A cooktop crammed against a wall. In Dallas ranch homes built in the 1970s and 1980s, kitchen layouts were often designed around a single cook working alone, and they don’t hold up for how families cook now.
- Mismatched or builder-grade materials that have aged out. Thermofoil doors peel. Laminate counters delaminate at the seams. If your kitchen still has the original vinyl-wrapped cabinets from a 2000s builder, you’re probably seeing wear that no amount of cleaning will fix.
- A failed DIY or handyman repair. We regularly see cabinets that were re-hung with drywall screws, or countertops that someone “repaired” with epoxy that now looks worse than the original crack. If someone told you a repair was “good enough,” and it wasn’t, that’s exactly the kind of job we take on and do correctly.
If any of these sound familiar, call (940) 204-5368. We’ll walk through what you’re seeing and give you an honest read on whether it’s a repair or a replacement, before anything is scheduled.
Our Cabinets & Countertops Process
The process is designed around one commitment you’ll hear from us before anything else: the price on day one is the price on the invoice. Here’s how it works:
- You call, a person answers. (940) 204-5368. No voicemail tree, no callback window. We listen, ask about what you’re seeing, and get a sense of whether this is a focused cabinet-and-countertop job or a wider kitchen remodeling project.
- We come out and measure, in person. Trevor Nash or one of our project leads visits your home, takes dimensions, checks the current cabinet boxes and countertop substrate (the layer under your surface material), and looks for water intrusion, settling, or anything that would affect the install. This is the step where we tell you what’s reusable and what isn’t.
- You get a written price and a written scope. Not a verbal ballpark. Not a range that changes at the door. A line-by-line written number covering materials, labor, and any necessary substrate repair. Along with it, the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That’s in writing on every project we do.
- We order materials from brands we trust. KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry. Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone for countertops. Each of those manufacturers backs their products with their own warranty, which runs alongside the Penhallow guarantee. You get two layers of protection, not one.
- Install day: uniformed, background-checked technicians, on time. We give you a real arrival window and we keep it. Work proceeds with dust containment and daily cleanup. Countertop demolition is controlled, not chaotic; we protect floors and wrap doorways before we start.
- Walkthrough and written guarantee. We walk the finished job with you, point out what was done and why, and hand over the written guarantee. If anything comes up within a year, you call and we return, no service call, no re-inspection fee.
That’s the Kingswell Way, the standard we’ve operated under since 2004: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it.
Cabinets & Countertops Pricing in Dallas
Cabinet and countertop work in Dallas typically runs $8,000 to $45,000 depending on what you’re replacing, what you’re switching to, and how much reconfiguration is involved. Here’s how that range breaks down:
| Scope | Typical Dallas Range | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Countertop replacement only (laminate or basic granite for a standard L-shaped kitchen) | $2,800 – $7,000 | Demo, fabrication, install, sink cutout, basic edge profile |
| Countertop replacement in quartz (Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone) | $4,500 – $10,000 | Premium quartz slab, under-mount sink, professional edge detail, substrate repair if needed |
| Cabinet refacing (new doors, drawer fronts, veneer on existing boxes) | $6,000 – $16,000 | Measurement, doors and veneer, hardware replacement, alignment |
| Full cabinet replacement, stock or mid-grade line (Wellborn, KraftMaid) | $12,000 – $30,000 | Full demo, new boxes, doors, drawers, hardware, crown molding |
| Cabinet and countertop replacement together, mid-range finishes | $18,000 – $45,000 | Everything above, including quartz or granite counters, new sink, full install |
What moves the number up or down:
- Material choice. Quartz runs higher than granite in most Dallas showrooms, and Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone each have tiered pricing depending on color and pattern. A bold veining pattern costs more than a solid tone.
- Cabinet construction. Stock boxes are the most budget-friendly. Semi-custom lines from KraftMaid and Wellborn offer more sizes and door styles. Full custom cabinetry, which we do for specific layouts, adds 30 to 50 percent over semi-custom.
- What’s underneath. If water damage has compromised the cabinet bases or the countertop substrate needs replacement, that adds materials and labor. We’d rather tell you now than surprise you mid-project; that’s what the written scope is for.
- Configuration changes. Swapping cabinets in the same footprint is one price. Moving a sink run, reconfiguring a peninsula, or adding an island means plumbing and electrical work, which extends the budget.
- Demo access. Dallas homes with narrow doorways, upstairs kitchens, or older construction that requires careful removal add labor hours to the front end of the job.

FAQs – Cabinets & Countertops
How much does it cost to replace cabinets and countertops in Dallas?
Replacing both cabinets and countertops in Dallas typically costs between $18,000 and $45,000 for a standard 10×12 kitchen, depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and whether you’re keeping the same layout or pursuing a Kitchen Design & Layout reconfiguration. Countertop-only replacement runs $2,800 to $10,000; cabinet-only replacement runs $12,000 to $30,000. Call (940) 204-5368 for a free written estimate; we’ll give you the exact number for your kitchen, not a range.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace cabinets and countertops?
For countertops, a crack running from the sink cutout or a delaminating seam almost always means replacement; repairs on those failures don’t hold. For cabinets, replacing doors, drawer fronts, and veneer (refacing) runs about half the cost of full replacement and makes sense when the boxes are solid, but if water has swollen the bases or the frames are out of square, full replacement is the honest call. We’ll tell you which one applies after we inspect the substrate; call (940) 204-5368 to schedule a visit.
Can you replace countertops without replacing cabinets?
Yes, countertop-only replacement is one of the most common projects we do in Dallas, and it works well when the cabinet boxes are still structurally sound. The new countertop goes in on top of the existing bases, and we check the substrate underneath before install to make sure it’s level and moisture-free, even if you’re adding a Kitchen Island Installation. Cambria quartz, which we install regularly, carries its own lifetime warranty alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
How long do cabinets and countertops last?
Well-built cabinets from manufacturers like Wellborn or KraftMaid typically last 30 to 50 years with proper care, while quartz countertops from Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone are effectively permanent for the life of the kitchen; they resist staining, scratching, and heat far better than laminate. The failure point in most Dallas kitchens is water, not age, so we always check for moisture intrusion around the sink and dishwasher before recommending any scope. If a previous repair failed inside our guarantee window, our 365-Day Done Right Promise means a free return visit, no service call, no re-inspection fee.
Why Dallas Homeowners Call Penhallow for Cabinets & Countertops
Most of the kitchens we see in Dallas have been “fixed” at least once before we arrive. A hinge that was adjusted instead of replaced. A crack that was epoxied and now looks like a scar. A cabinet door that someone re-hung an inch too low and called it done. We don’t do that. When we take on a cabinet and countertop project, we treat it as structural work, not cosmetic work, because that’s what it is.
Trevor Nash leads every project in Dallas, from the first call to the final walkthrough. The Kingswell standard has been in place since 2004, and it hasn’t changed: a written price before any work starts, a real arrival window we actually keep, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every job. If a repair fails inside that year, we come back and fix it. No charge, no debate, no service call fee.
We also answer the phone. A live person picks up at (940) 204-5368, 24/7. Not an answering service, not a voicemail that says we’ll call you back within two business days. When you have a question about your cabinets or countertops, you talk to a person who knows what you’re asking.
Call us today for a free estimate on your cabinet and countertop project. Whether you’re in Lake Highlands, East Dallas, or up near Plano, we’ll set a time to come out, take a look, and give you a written price you can hold us to.
