Kitchen Remodeling in Texas

What TX homeowners should know

Kitchen work in Texas follows the local building codes adopted by your city, administered by the city permit office where you live. Texas does not license general remodeling contractors statewide, but electricians and plumbers must be licensed, so ask for those licenses and proof of insurance for any trade work in your kitchen.

Texas has long hot summers and shifting humidity. Foundation movement is common in parts of Texas, so it is worth having cabinets, tile and countertops installed by crews who check for level floors and walls first.

Cooler months are comfortable for demolition and deliveries, and are typically when homeowners plan bigger kitchen projects.
