Trusted Kitchen Remodeling for Dallas Homeowners
A kitchen remodel in Dallas typically costs between $14,000 and $45,000, and a full gut renovation with custom cabinetry and stone countertops can take six to ten weeks from demo day to final walkthrough. Most of the homeowners who call Penhallow Remodeling have been through this before with another contractor: the verbal estimate that doubled, the crew that vanished for three weeks, the cabinet doors that never quite closed right. Trevor Nash started this company because he was tired of watching Dallas families write checks for work that did not hold up. We put the price in writing before a single cabinet is pulled, and we back every remodel with our 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails inside that guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. Call (940) 204-5368 to talk through your kitchen and get a written number you can hold us to.
Kitchen Remodeling Contractor
A Kitchen Remodeling Contractor is the licensed general contractor who manages your entire kitchen project from the first measurements through the final cabinet adjustment and paint touch-up. You need one when the job touches plumbing, electrical, structural walls, or any combination of trades that a single specialty installer cannot carry. Penhallow Remodeling Dallas handles the whole scope of Full Kitchen Remodeling: we pull permits where required, coordinate the plumber and electrician, order the cabinets and countertops, and we are the single point of contact from the first walkthrough to the 365-day mark and beyond. Full kitchen remodels in Dallas run $14,000 to $45,000 depending on whether you are moving walls, the cabinet line you choose, and the countertop material. Our number is written, not verbal, before any work starts.
Full-Scope Coordination
We do not hand you three phone numbers and a wish. One crew, one schedule, one invoice. When a Dallas kitchen needs a rough-in moved or a peninsula turned into an island, our electricians and plumbers are scheduled by us and answer to us, so the work meets our standard and yours.
Written Price Before Demo
Trevor Nash has a rule: no sledgehammer touches a wall until you have a written price in hand. That number covers the agreed scope, and if something unknown comes up behind the drywall, we stop and talk to you before adding a dollar.
Styles & brands we work with
Kitchen Design
Kitchen Design is the planning phase where your square footage, traffic flow, storage needs, and material preferences get turned into a working layout before a single cabinet is purchased. You need it when the existing kitchen fights you: not enough counter to prep, a refrigerator door that hits the island, a corner cabinet you cannot reach into. Penhallow Remodeling Dallas sits down at your table, not a showroom desk, and walks through what you actually cook and how you actually live. A design engagement is built into every remodel we quote, never billed as a hidden add-on. Kitchen remodels with full design services run $14,000 to $45,000, and the design fee is absorbed into the written project price.
Layout and Workflow First
Before we talk finishes, we talk function. Where do you set down groceries, where does the pan go, who stands where when two people are cooking. In Dallas homes with tight galley kitchens in Oak Cliff or Highland Park, the right layout change almost always matters more than the right Backsplash, Tile & Flooring.
Material Selection Without Pressure
We bring samples of KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinets, Cambria and Silestone quartz, and Kohler and Moen fixtures to your home. You choose what fits your budget and your eye, and our written quote reflects those exact selections, not a vague allowance that changes later.
Kitchen Renovation
A Kitchen Renovation is the heavier version of a remodel: floors come up, walls move, plumbing stacks get relocated, and the room is rebuilt to a new footprint. You need it when the layout itself is wrong, not just the surfaces. Penhallow Remodeling Dallas has opened kitchens in North Dallas ranches and Mid-Century splits where the original layout put the sink on the wrong wall and the range against the only load-bearing corner. Kitchen renovations in Dallas range from $14,000 for a light rework to $45,000 for a full reconfiguration with new mechanicals and structural changes. We keep one promise through all of it: the number on day one is the number on the invoice.
Structural and Mechanical Work
Moving a bearing wall or relocating a gas line is not the place for a handshake deal. We pull permits in Dallas, schedule inspections, and do not cover anything up until the city signs off. That is the Kingswell Way: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it.
Single-Contract Accountability
You signed with us, not with four subs. If the tile cracks or a cabinet hinge loosens inside 365 days, one phone call to us triggers the fix. No tracking down the tile guy who has already moved to another job site.
Cabinet Installation
Cabinet Installation covers the measurement, shimming, leveling, and securing of new or replacement kitchen cabinetry so every door sits square and every drawer slides clean. You need it when your existing boxes are water-swollen under the sink, falling out of alignment, or simply built for a kitchen that no longer works. Penhallow Remodeling Dallas handles Cabinet Installation & Refacing for KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry with the same crew that measured the walls, so gaps get caught on paper before they appear on your wall. Cabinet installation in Dallas runs $4,000 to $13,000 depending on linear footage, door style, and whether you are changing the layout or replacing like for like.
Level, Plumb, Square
Old Dallas houses rarely have square walls. We shim every box, scribe every filler, and plane every end panel so the reveal lines are consistent. That is the difference between cabinets that look installed and cabinets that look built in.
Soft-Close Hardware Standard
Every door and drawer we hang gets soft-close hardware, included in the written price. If a hinge fails inside the guarantee year, we replace it and rehang the door at no charge.
Countertop Installation
Countertop Installation is the templating, fabrication, and setting of stone or solid-surface tops onto your cabinet runs, including cutouts for the sink and cooktop and the seams that connect sections. You need it when the laminate is delaminating, the grout lines on tile counters are stained beyond cleaning, or you are replacing cabinets and the old tops will not survive removal. Penhallow Remodeling Dallas installs Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz, which carry their own manufacturer warranties alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Countertop installation in Dallas runs $2,000 to $6,500 depending on square footage, material, and edge profile.
Digital Templating
We use laser templating, not cardboard strips and hope. The template captures every bow in your wall and the exact position of the sink base, so the fabricated slab drops in with seams you have to look for.
Seam Placement You Approve
Before the slab is cut, you see the seam map and approve it. No surprises where two pieces of stone meet. If the seam opens or shifts inside the guarantee period, we rework it at no cost.
Kitchen Remodeling Company
A Kitchen Remodeling Company is the firm you hire to carry the entire project: design, tear-out, rough-in, installation, finish, and warranty. You need one rather than a solo operator when the scope crosses trades and the stakes are high enough that you want a written guarantee behind the whole job. Penhallow Remodeling Dallas is part of the Kingswell family of companies, operating to The Kingswell Way since 2004, and this location is independently owned and operated by Trevor Nash. Full kitchen remodels with our company run $14,000 to $45,000, and every dollar of that range is backed by a written price and a written 365-day guarantee.
Background-Checked, Uniformed Crews
Every technician who walks through your door has passed a background check and shows up in a Penhallow uniform. You know exactly who is in your home, and you can call our office at any hour to confirm.
One Live Person, 24/7
A live person answers our phone around the clock. Not a voicemail maze, not an answering service reading a script. If something goes sideways on a Saturday night, you reach a human who can do something about it.
Small Kitchen Remodel
A Small Kitchen Remodel is a focused renovation of a compact kitchen, usually under 120 square feet, where the goal is function and durability rather than expanded square footage. You need it when the kitchen is not getting bigger but the storage, lighting, and counter workspace can be dramatically improved within the same footprint. Penhallow Remodeling Dallas has reworked galley kitchens in Oak Cliff, duplex kitchens in Balch Springs, and condo kitchens near White Rock Lake with the same written-price discipline we bring to $45,000 projects. Small kitchen remodels in Dallas run $9,000 to $20,000, and that includes cabinet installation, countertops, and the design time to make every inch count.
Density Over Square Footage
A small kitchen succeeds on storage density, not floor space. We spec drawers instead of doors, full-height uppers, and counter-depth appliances where they fit, and we show you the layout in writing before ordering anything.
Realistic Trade-Offs
We will tell you where the money is wasted and where it is not. In a 90-square-foot Dallas kitchen, a $6,000 slab of stone buys less livability than $6,000 in drawer bases and under-cabinet lighting. That is the conversation you get with us.
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors
Kitchen Cabinet Refacing Contractors replace the doors, drawer fronts, and veneers on your existing cabinet boxes while the boxes themselves stay attached to the wall. You need this when the cabinet layout works, the boxes are sound, and only the surfaces look dated. Penhallow Remodeling Dallas performs refacing as a mid-tier option between replacing hardware and gutting the whole room, and we will tell you honestly if your boxes are worth saving before we quote the work. Cabinet refacing in Dallas typically falls within the $4,000 to $13,000 cabinet installation range, landing lower when the layout is untouched and higher when we add new boxes for a pantry or island.
Box Soundness First
We inspect every cabinet box for water damage, delamination, and racking before we quote refacing. If the box under the sink is swollen through, refacing it is throwing good money at bad wood. We will show you the damage and recommend replacement where it is needed.
Doors, Drawers, and Hardware
Refacing includes new door and drawer fronts, matching veneers on the visible box faces, and new soft-close hinges. You keep your layout, gain a fresh kitchen, and keep thousands of dollars in your pocket compared to full replacement.

AfterBrands We Service
We work with a focused set of Cabinets & Countertops and fixture brands because the guarantee behind the work is only as strong as the materials it covers. KraftMaid cabinets give us consistent box construction and door alignment across every line from entry level to custom. Wellborn cabinetry lets us spec taller uppers and deeper drawer bases for Dallas kitchens that need storage more than they need display.
On the stone side, we install Cambria quartz, which carries its own lifetime warranty alongside our 365-day promise, plus Silestone and Caesarstone for clients who want specific colorways or edge profiles. For fixtures, we standardize on Kohler and Moen because their replacement parts are stocked in Dallas supply houses, which means a cartridge swap or a sprayer repair never waits on a backorder. Whether you have a specific brand in mind or want our recommendation based on your budget, we can help.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water-stained cabinet bottoms under the sink. That dark ring or soft spot is not cosmetic. It means a slow leak has been soaking the box for months, and the longer it sits, the more likely you are paying for subfloor repair too. A pro can open the toe kick, find the source, and tell you if the cabinet can be saved.
- Countertops that flex when you press on them. Laminate that gives under your palm means the substrate beneath has swelled or separated. The fix almost always involves removal, and it rarely gets cheaper by waiting.
- Drawers that stick only in summer. Dallas humidity makes wood move. If your drawers swell shut every August, the cabinet interiors were not sealed properly. That is a construction issue, not something wax will fix.
- Visible cracking in tile grout or countertop seams. Hairline cracks in grout along the counter line or between slabs usually mean movement underneath: settling, poor shimming, or a failed seam. Left alone, water gets in and the damage spreads fast.
- You cannot open the refrigerator door all the way. This sounds minor until you have lived with it for a year. It means the original layout was never sized for the appliances you actually own, and the only real fix is a layout change, which is a remodel job, not a handyman job.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Written estimate at your kitchen table. Trevor Nash or one of our project leads walks your kitchen, asks how you cook, and measures the room. You get a written price, not a range and not a verbal ballpark, before anything is signed.
- 2
Design and selections. We bring cabinet door samples, stone chips, and fixture options to your home and build a layout you approve. Every selection goes into the written scope, so the price reflects the kitchen you are actually getting.
- 3
Permits and scheduling. We pull the Dallas permits our scope requires and give you a defined arrival window for every phase. The crew shows up when we said they would, background-checked and in uniform.
- 4
Demolition through installation. We protect the floors, contain the dust, and work in sequence: demo, rough-in, drywall, cabinets, counters, fixtures, finish. Every trade is coordinated by us, not by you chasing phone numbers.
- 5
Walkthrough and warranty handoff. We walk the finished kitchen with you, make a punch list on the spot, and hand you the written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything fails inside a year, one call and we come back. No service fee, no argument.
How Much Does Kitchen Remodeling Cost in Dallas?
A full kitchen remodel in Dallas typically runs $14,000 to $45,000. A small kitchen remodel stays closer to $9,000 to $20,000. Cabinet installation on its own lands between $4,000 and $13,000, while countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500 depending on material and square footage.
What drives the number up or down is not mysterious. Layout changes that move plumbing or electrical add real labor. Cabinet line matters at least as much as square footage: an entry-level KraftMaid run costs less than a full-custom Wellborn spec. Stone counters add cost over laminate, and quartz with a waterfall edge on an island adds more. The age of the home matters too: older Dallas houses in Highland Park or Oak Cliff built before 1980 often need wiring upgrades or joist reinforcement that newer homes in Richardson or Sachse rarely require.
How to avoid overpaying: get the scope in writing, keep all your selections in that scope, and do not let anyone start demo on a verbal number. How to avoid underpaying that costs more later: insist on a written guarantee, and do not accept a quote that cannot name the cabinet line and countertop material it includes. Our free estimate always includes the written price, the written guarantee, and an itemized list of what is included.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling in Dallas
Kitchen remodeling is the process of changing the layout, surfaces, cabinets, fixtures, or systems in your kitchen to improve function, durability, or appearance. It ranges from a cabinet and countertop swap to a full gut renovation that moves walls and relocates plumbing. Call (940) 204-5368 and we will tell you honestly what your kitchen actually needs.
A typical full kitchen remodel takes six to ten weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, though smaller scopes like cabinet refacing or countertop-only projects often finish in two to three weeks. Your timeline depends on whether you are moving plumbing, the lead time on your chosen cabinet line, and city inspection scheduling. We give you a written schedule with your written price, and we hit our arrival windows.
Full kitchen remodels run $14,000 to $45,000, small kitchen remodels $9,000 to $20,000, cabinet installation $4,000 to $13,000, and countertop installation $2,000 to $6,500. Your exact number depends on layout changes, cabinet line, countertop material, and home age. Call (940) 204-5368 for a free written estimate.
Yes, we install both KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry and are familiar with their construction, hardware, and installation specs. We also install Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone countertops, plus Kohler and Moen fixtures, so your kitchen is covered by both manufacturer warranties and our written guarantee.
A live person answers our phone 24/7, every day of the year. If a water line lets go under your sink or a cabinet box fails after hours, you reach a human who can dispatch help, not a voicemail. We cannot promise same-day completion of a full remodel, but we can promise a same-day response to a real emergency.
Every project carries our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if the work fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge. That includes a free return visit if a repair fails again, no service call fee and no re-inspection fee. The guarantee is handed to you in writing at the final walkthrough.
Clear out the cabinets, move small appliances and wall decor to another room, and set up a temporary cooking station in a garage or dining room with a microwave, coffee maker, and a folding table. We protect the floors and contain dust, but you will want a meal plan for the weeks the kitchen is down. We walk you through all of this during the design phase.
