Kitchen Remodeling in West University, TX
Kitchen remodeling in West University, TX means working inside two very different houses on the same block: a 1920s–1940s cottage where the kitchen was designed for one cook and no guests, and a newer two-story rebuild where the kitchen is large but the finishes or layout never quite matched how the family lives. We rework both — opening cottage kitchens to the living spaces they were walled off from, and rebuilding cabinet plans, islands, and lighting in newer homes around how you actually cook.

Kitchen remodeling in West University, TX means working inside two very different houses on the same block: a 1920s–1940s cottage where the kitchen was designed for one cook and no guests, and a newer two-story rebuild where the kitchen is large but the finishes or layout never quite matched how the family lives. We rework both — opening cottage kitchens to the living spaces they were walled off from, and rebuilding cabinet plans, islands, and lighting in newer homes around how you actually cook.
Because West University Place is an independent city with its own permitting and famously thorough inspections, we treat the paperwork as part of the craft. Plans go in complete, licensed trades do the plumbing and electrical, and inspections are scheduled and met by us — not left on your calendar. On narrow lots with tight side setbacks, we also plan deliveries, dumpster placement, and material staging before demo day, so the project respects your neighbors as much as your house.
What's Included
- Custom cabinetry, islands, and built-in storage
- Stone countertops and full-height backsplashes
- Layout changes, including load-bearing wall removal
- Updated lighting, plumbing, and electrical
- Appliance integration and finish selections
Kitchen Remodeling in West University, TX.
In West University the biggest variables are the age of the house and the scope of the layout change. A cottage kitchen often needs wiring and plumbing brought up to current code before the finishes go in, while a newer rebuild is usually a cabinetry, counter, and lighting project. We walk the space, identify what the walls are likely hiding, and give you a free itemized quote so the budget is transparent before anything is demolished.
Yes — it's one of the most common requests we get in West University's older homes. Cottage-era framing wasn't built for open spans, so we assess the structure, engineer beams where the load requires them, and include that structural work in the permit set the City of West University Place reviews. The result is an open kitchen that still feels true to the house.
West University Place is an independent city that runs its own permitting and is known for thorough inspections. Any project touching plumbing, gas, or electrical goes through city review, and inspectors check the work in stages. We prepare complete plans, pull the permits, and meet every inspection ourselves — it's rigor we plan for from day one, not a delay we discover mid-project.
Logistics are part of the job in West University. Tight side setbacks mean there's rarely a side yard to stage through, so we plan delivery timing, protected pathways through the house, and dumpster or trailer placement before work begins. Floors and openings along the route are protected, and the site is cleaned and secured at the end of every day.
