Cabinets & Countertops in Houston, TX

Cabinets & Countertops in Houston, TX

Cabinet and countertop work in Houston typically runs $12,000 to $45,000 for a full kitchen, with cabinet refacing starting around $7,000 and new stone countertops ranging from $55 to $110 per square foot installed. Bradford Remodeling Co Houston handles both, under one written price, with the 365-Day Done Right Promise behind every install. If you’re planning a Kitchen Remodeling in Houston project, cabinets and countertops are usually the largest line items, and the ones where sloppy measurement or cheap materials show up first. Call (940) 289-7658 and we’ll walk through your layout, your budget, and a firm number in writing.

We’re part of the Garrison Partners family, established in 2004. Our crews install documented brands, including KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria or Caesarstone surfaces, so the specs you approve are the materials that arrive. No substitutions, no “we found something similar at the supply house.” Curtis Lane runs this shop, and the standard here is simple: the price doesn’t move after you sign it, and the work holds for a full year or we come back and fix it.

When You Need Cabinets & Countertops

Most Houston homeowners call us for our Kitchen Remodeling services when the kitchen works fine but the cabinets and counters have stopped earning their square footage. Here’s what that looks like:

• Cabinet boxes are swelling or delaminating. Houston’s humidity gets into particleboard and MDF faster than people expect, especially in older homes without strong kitchen ventilation. Doors stick, shelves sag, and drawer fronts pull loose at the corner joints.
• Hinges and drawer slides are failing. When you’re slamming drawers to close them or the soft-close hardware gave up two years in, the cabinet is telling you something. Replacement hardware works if the box is solid; if not, you’re looking at new cabinet construction.
• Countertops are stained, chipped, or burned through. Laminate tops in particular take a beating from Houston cooktops. Once the substrate swells from moisture, patching stops being an option.
• The layout fights you every time you cook. Walkways under 36 inches, no landing space beside the range, dead corners that swallow small appliances. New cabinets solve layout problems that paint and pulls can’t.
• You’re selling or buying. In Houston neighborhoods like the Heights, Bellaire, and Katy, kitchens move houses. Buyers notice dated cabinets and worn laminate immediately, and appraisers price accordingly.
• The existing work was done wrong. We see jobs from other contractors where face frames aren’t square, seams are visible from across the room, and the sink cutout leaks into the cabinet below. If the substrate is compromised, it’s a tear-out, not a touch-up.

If any of that sounds familiar, we can look at photos, schedule a site visit, and give you a straight read on repair versus replace before you spend a dollar.

Our Cabinets & Countertops Process

Bradford Remodeling doesn’t do Kitchen Design & Layout roulette. The process is measured, written down, and signed before tools come out of the truck.

1. Walkthrough and measurements. We come to your home, take field measurements of the working area, check the floors for level, and note any soffits, plumbing rough-ins, or electrical that affect cabinet depth and placement. You get a clear sense of what fits and what doesn’t.
2. Material selection with documentation. You choose from our roster of verified brands in KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces. We write manufacturer and finish codes into the scope so there’s no guesswork at delivery.
3. Written price. A line-item price covering demolition, substrate prep, installation, plumbing disconnect and reconnect, and finish work. It’s a fixed number, in your hand, before you sign anything. No numbers that move at the door.
4. Scheduled installation. Our background-checked, uniformed technicians handle the full scope. Tear-out, structural adjustments, cabinet setting, countertop templating and installation, and hardware mounting happen in a planned sequence, not by improvisation.
5. Squared-away completion. At close we walk the kitchen with you, check drawer glide and door alignment, verify seams and edged profiles, and hand you the signed written guarantee. The site is swept, the debris is hauled, and the sink runs.

Every completed project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a cabinet door binds, a drawer slide fails, or a countertop seam fails within the first year, Bradford comes back and corrects it at no charge. That guarantee is printed, signed, and dated. That’s The Garrison Standard, and we don’t waive it.

Cabinets & Countertops Pricing in Houston

Nobody in Houston should sign a cabinet or countertop contract without a number on paper. Here’s where honest ranges land for this market:

• Cabinet refacing (existing boxes, new doors and veneer): $7,000 to $14,000 for an average 10×12 kitchen, depending on door style and hardware.
• New stock or semi-custom cabinetry: $12,000 to $30,000 installed. KraftMaid lines run mid-to-upper in that band; full custom can push higher but we quote it the same way, line by line.
• Laminate countertops: $35 to $60 per square foot installed. The practical choice for a clean, quick refresh.
• Quartz (Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone): $65 to $110 per square foot installed. Non-porous, no annual sealing, tough against Houston’s heat and humidity.
• Granite or marble: $55 to $125 per square foot installed, depending on slab grade and edge profile. Natural stone requires sealing; we specify the sealer and schedule.
• Sink and faucet rough-in adjustments: $300 to $900 when moving plumbing location or changing sink configuration. Kohler and Moen fixtures are in our documented brand set.

What moves the price: cabinet construction (particleboard versus plywood boxes), drawer hardware grade, total linear footage, demolition complexity, and whether the countertop requires a seam or a special edge. What doesn’t move the price: our overhead, our markup, or some number a sales rep invents at your kitchen table. You get one written price, and it stands.

Every quote is free. Call (940) 289-7658, and Curtis Lane or a member of the team will set up a walkthrough and get you numbers within days, not weeks.

How We Build the Cabinets & Countertops You’ll Actually Keep

Houston’s climate is the quiet variable in every kitchen, including those with a Kitchen Island Installation. High humidity, temperature swings, and slab foundations that shift over time all put real stress on cabinet joinery and countertop seams. We build for that. Cabinet boxes are checked and shimmed level on install, not just screwed to a wavy wall. Countertop substrates are assessed for flatness and moisture before the slab goes down. Seams get placed where they’re structurally sensible, not where they’re easiest to cut.

We also plan for daily use. Drawer hardware gets rated for the weight it will actually carry. Sink bases get water-resistant treatment at the cutout. Soft-close hinges get adjusted, not just installed. These are the details homeowners don’t see until year three, and they’re exactly the details the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers if something goes wrong.

The Garrison Code governs how our crews work in your home: arrive on time, keep the workspace contained, communicate before and after each stage, and leave the site clean at the end of every day. It’s not a list of suggestions. It’s been the operating framework for Garrison Partners locations since 2004.

Why Houston Homeowners Choose Bradford Over the Other Guys

We’re not chasing volume or running crews across four counties. We run a disciplined remodeling operation that puts every commitment in writing and stands behind it. What that looks like in practice:

• A live person answers the phone, 24/7. Not a voicemail tree, not a chatbot, not a callback two days later. If you call about a loose cabinet door at 7 a.m., a human picks up.
• Uniformed, background-checked technicians. You know who’s at your door before you open it, and they’re maintained to a standard set at the Garrison Partners level, not left to the habits of whichever sub happens to take the job.
• Documented brands only. KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry, Cambria, Caesarstone, and Silestone for quartz, James Hardie for exterior elements where a remodel extends outside. Every product has manufacturer specs and a warranty that sits on top of ours.
• The 365-Day Done Right Promise. A written, signed, dated guarantee. If the work fails inside a year, we correct it without charging you. That’s the entire promise, in plain language, and we’re glad to show you a sample before you sign.

We’re not the cheapest bid in Houston. We’re the bid that doesn’t change, from the crew that shows up, with the guarantee you can enforce. For homeowners who’ve been burned by no-shows and surprise invoices, that’s worth the difference.

What to Check Before You Hire Anyone in Houston

If you’re comparing contractors, here’s the short list of questions that separate disciplined operations from the rest:

• Will the contractor put the total price in writing before work starts, and will they hold to it? If the answer hedges, walk.
• What’s the exact warranty period, and what does it cover? “We stand behind our work” is not a warranty term. A warranty term has a number and a scope.
• Whose names are on the crew? Background-checked and uniformed, or whoever’s available that week?
• What cabinet and countertop brands do they actually stock and install? If they can’t name the manufacturer, the materials are whatever the supply house had on sale.
• How do you reach them if something goes wrong? A live person, or a recording?

Bradford Remodeling Co Houston answers all five of those questions the same way, every time: written price, one-year written guarantee, named technicians, documented materials, and a live voice around the clock at (940) 289-7658.

The Kitchen Remodeling Connection

Cabinet and countertop work rarely stands alone. It touches plumbing, electrical, backsplash, flooring transitions, and sometimes wall layout. That’s why we run cabinet and countertop scopes inside a broader Kitchen Remodeling in Houston capability when the project calls for it. You might start with new countertops and realize the sink rough-in needs to move, or that the soffits need to come out to fit taller uppers. We handle the whole sequence without bringing in an unfamiliar crew at the halfway point.

If you’re starting fresh, our home page lays out the full scope of what we do across the house. But if the kitchen is the focus, the parent page will give you the larger picture: how scheduling works, what a full remodel typically runs in Houston, and how The Garrison Standard applies to every phase.

FAQs – Cabinets & Countertops

How much does it cost to replace cabinets and countertops in Houston?

Replacing both in a typical 10×12 Houston kitchen runs $19,000 to $45,000 all-in, with cabinet refacing plus new countertops starting around $12,000. The spread depends on cabinet construction, stone grade, linear footage, and whether plumbing or electrical needs to move. Bradford writes the exact number in a line-item quote before work starts. Call (940) 289-7658 for a free estimate in your home.

Is it cheaper to reface cabinets or replace them?

Refacing is cheaper, usually $7,000 to $14,000 versus $12,000 to $30,000 for new cabinetry, but it only makes sense when the existing cabinet boxes are square, dry, and structurally sound. If the boxes have water damage or the layout is wrong, refacing is polish on a compromised frame. We’ll tell you which one applies to your kitchen after a site visit.

How long does cabinet and countertop installation take in Houston?

For a typical Full Kitchen Remodeling project, demolition through finished install takes two to four weeks. Cabinet setting runs three to five days, countertop templating and fabrication typically takes seven to ten days after cabinets are set, and finish plumbing plus hardware installation wraps the job. We’ll spell out your schedule in the written scope. Call (940) 289-7658 if you need a timeline for a specific start date.

Do you offer a warranty on cabinet and countertop work?

Yes. Every project carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise: a written one-year guarantee covering our workmanship and installation. If a door binds, a drawer fails, or a seam opens inside that year, Bradford Remodeling Co Houston returns and corrects it at no charge. That’s in addition to any manufacturer warranty on the cabinet or stone material.

Can you match existing cabinets or countertops in a partial remodel?

Matching depends on the manufacturer, finish code, and whether the original line is still in production. KraftMaid and Wellborn keep finish records for many lines, and natural stone from Cambria or Caesarstone slabs can be sourced by lot, but exact match on aged or discontinued product is not always possible. We’ll give you an honest read on match quality before you commit to a partial scope. Call (940) 289-7658 and we’ll take a look.

Do you work with Cambria and Caesarstone quartz in Houston?

Yes. Both are in our documented brand set, along with Silestone for quartz and Kohler and Moen for fixtures. We specify manufacturer and finish code in the written scope so the material that gets installed is the material you approved. Quartz from these manufacturers carries its own warranty, which stacks with our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
