We’re Penhallow Remodeling Dallas, and our crews work in Irving neighborhoods every week – from Valley Ranch down to Las Colinas and east through the Hospital District. If you’re standing in a kitchen with builder-grade cabinets and a tile counter from the Reagan administration, call (940) 204-5368 and we’ll put a written price in your hand before any cabinet box gets ordered. No verbal ballpark, no change order surprises. Just a number you can hold us to.
Why Penhallow Remodeling Dallas Is Irving’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Irving homeowners call us because we do something most remodelers in the metroplex won’t: we write the price down before we start. Not an estimate range. Not a “we think it’ll land around here.” A written number, backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails inside a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. That promise is in writing on every Irving project, from a small cabinet refacing off Belt Line Road to a full tear-out near MacArthur High School.
Trevor Nash leads our Dallas-Fort Worth team, and he’s built the reputation on one habit: showing up in the window we gave, with background-checked, uniformed techs who introduce themselves at the door. Our Irving customers often tell us the same thing – they’d been burned before by a contractor who vanished after demo day, and they called us because a live person answered the phone at 9pm. That’s a 24/7 standing fact here, not a promotion. Every job follows The Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up when we said, leave the place cleaner than we found it.
We coordinate dispatch and scheduling from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, and crews serve Irving locally. We know the permitting desk at Irving City Hall, we know which neighborhoods hit cast-iron drain issues, and we know the HOA review rhythms in Valley Ranch. That local reps familiarity changes how a remodel actually goes.
Styles & brands we work with
Kitchen Design in Irving
Kitchen Design in Irving means working backward from what your slab home will actually allow before we ever talk cabinet finishes. In this city’s 1960s Ranch-style and 1980s brick veneer homes, the layout is often locked to the original footprint unless you’re willing to open the slab. A design-first approach in Irving starts with measuring the post-tension slab, locating the 4-inch sanitary line, and mapping the electrical panel before we propose moving a sink or adding an island on the far side of the kitchen. That’s the difference between a design that survives the rough-in and one that dies at the foundation.
Layouts that respect the slab
Most Irving kitchens in Del Rancho and the Hospital District were framed with the sink on an exterior wall and a single 20-amp small-appliance circuit. Moving the sink to an island means cutting a trench through a post-tension slab – and drilling blind can hit a tendon cable. We map slab drawings first, then design around anchors that don’t require structural work. It saves you thousands and keeps your builder’s foundation warranty intact.
Builder-grade upgrades that return value
In Irving’s newer master-planned pockets, the first upgrades worth making are the ones builders cheap out on: drawer glides, cabinet box materials, and backsplash. We spec KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinet lines, Cambria or Silestone quartz, and Moen or Blanco fixtures where they hold up. Typical kitchen design plus material selection runs from $14,000 on the efficient end up to around $45,000 for a full rework with an island.
Kitchen Renovation in Irving
Kitchen Renovation in Irving is rarely just cabinets and counters – it’s a structural and systems job disguised as a surface job. We renovate kitchens across Irving’s slab-on-grade housing stock, and the work often starts with scoping the drain lines and assessing the slab condition before a single box comes off the wall. That’s the part generic remodelers skip, and it’s the part that sends Irving homeowners back to us to fix someone else’s mess.
When the slab hides a surprise
On a kitchen remodel near the Hospital District, we opened a slab-on-grade home and found the original 1963 cast-iron sink waste line had rusted through at the p-trap, with a hairline heave crack in the same bay. We scoped the line, filed a permit for the re-rough-in, cut a 4-foot channel in the subfloor, replaced the waste arm with PVC to meet city inspection sign-off, then installed new KraftMaid cabinets with a Blanco sink on a leveled underlayment – all before our first cabinet box went in. That’s what a proper Irving renovation looks like: the hidden work comes first.
Islands and post-tension slab care
Adding a kitchen island in an Irving home built after 1970 usually means drilling into post-tension concrete. Done wrong, you hit a tendon and void the foundation warranty. Done right, we mark the slab, core with care, and run electrical and plumbing in a way the city inspector signs off on the first pass. Island installations in Irving run $3,000 – $10,000 depending on whether we’re adding water, power, or both.
Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
We install and stand behind fixtures and surfaces from brands that actually answer their own warranty phones. In Irving kitchens, we regularly run Moen and Delta faucets, Blanco sinks, and American Standard fixtures – chosen because their warranties are as straightforward as ours. What that means for you: when a Moen cartridge wears out in five years, we swap it. When a Blanco sink finish fails, the brand ships a replacement and we handle the labor. We keep common service parts in our Dallas-Fort Worth inventory, so Irving customers aren’t waiting on a ground shipment from Ohio. The product warranty and our 365-Day Done Right Promise run side by side.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Irving Homes
- Cast-iron waste lines corroding from the inside out. Irving’s 1960s slab homes – common in the Hospital District and Del Rancho – were plumbed with cast iron that rusts from the inside over decades. By the time you smell it, the pipe has already failed. We inspect under-slab drains before we ever set a cabinet.
- Expansive clay soil heaving the slab. North Texas clay shrinks and swells with moisture, and Irving’s hot, humid summers amplify it. When a slab heaves, tile cracks and cabinets pull from the wall. We check for slab movement before we tile or set a run of base cabinets.
- Builder-grade electrical that is not to current code. Even in Irving’s newer developments, we open walls and find undersized circuits or vent stacks that should never have passed. When we find it, we photograph it, flag it, and fix it – with a permit pulled and an inspection passed.
- HOA architectural review slowing down the rough-in. Valley Ranch and Las Colinas HOAs often want rough-in photos before you close up walls. We document everything and file the paperwork early, so your project doesn’t stall waiting on a committee meeting.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Irving
Yes. Any under-slab drain line replacement in Irving requires a city permit and a plumbing inspection before you close the slab back up. We pull the permit, do the rough-in, and get the sign-off. Skipping this means you own the liability when the next pipe fails. Call (940) 204-5368 and we’ll scope your lines first.
It can, especially if you trench the post-tension slab without a map or hit a tendon. Most builder warranties in Irving’s newer developments require structural work to be documented and permitted. We pull slab drawings and file accordingly, so your foundation warranty stays intact. Get an exact read on your project with a free estimate.
Plan on $22,000 to $35,000 for a proper mid-range remodel in a 1980s Irving home – that includes mid-tier cabinetry, quartz counters, backsplash, and the hidden plumbing and electrical fixes these houses usually need. We’ll give you a written number before demo day. Call (940) 204-5368 to get yours.
Usually not. Most Irving HOAs, especially in Valley Ranch and Las Colinas, require submitted plans and photos for interior structural changes, even if it’s just moving a sink. We handle the submissions and keep the review from stalling your rough-in. The documentation also protects you if a design question comes up later.
Because Irving’s expansive clay soil keeps moving under the slab, and tile set directly on a heaving slab will crack no matter how well it’s installed. The fix is an uncoupling membrane or a leveled underlayment before tile goes down. If your tile is already cracking, call (940) 204-5368 and we’ll diagnose whether it’s slab movement or a failed install – and fix it under our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
