Why Bradford Remodeling Co Houston Is Houston’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Houston homeowners call us after a previous contractor no-showed, re-quoted at the door, or left a job half-finished. Our response is simple: we put the scope, the price, and the guarantee in writing before a single tool comes out. That’s The Garrison Standard, and Curtis Lane holds every Houston project to it. No verbal estimates. No moving numbers.
Our crews work Houston neighborhoods every week. We know that a 1970s ranch in Sharpstown has different framing than a 2000s tract home out toward Katy, and we quote accordingly. Background-checked, uniformed technicians show up on time. A live person answers the phone 24/7 at (940) 289-7658, not a voicemail tree. When something goes wrong mid-project, you talk to a person who can make a decision.

Kitchen Remodeling Company in Houston
Bradford Remodeling Co Houston is a full-service Kitchen Remodeling Company working inside the Loop and across Harris County. When a Houston homeowner hires us, the job starts with an inspection of what’s behind the drywall: wiring, plumbing, framing, and the condition of the slab. Older Houston homes hide cast-iron drain lines, aluminum branch wiring, and framing that’s been patched over for decades. We find it before you pay for it.
Our Kitchen Remodeling team handles layout changes, cabinet installation, countertop fabrication and install, backsplash, flooring, lighting, and full rough-in work. Most full remodels land between $14,000 and $45,000. Every job includes a written allowance structure so if we open a wall and find something unexpected, you see the exact cost before we proceed.
Design and Layout
We draw every kitchen to scale before demolition. Cabinet runs, island placement, appliance clearances, and dishwasher swing paths get checked against the actual room, not a stock template. Houston homes with slab foundations often carry the same floor elevation throughout, which changes how we route drains under an island.
Permits and Inspections
We pull permits on every kitchen remodel where Houston code requires it, including any work that touches electrical, plumbing, or structural walls. Bradford handles the plan review and inspection scheduling. If a neighbor files a complaint, we’re already in the system with approved plans.
Small Kitchen Remodel in Houston
A Small Kitchen Remodel in Houston typically runs $9,000 to $20,000 and covers a footprint that stays where it is: new cabinet faces or full replacement, new countertops, backsplash, sink and fixture, and lighting. These jobs move fast because we’re not relocating plumbing or cutting into load-bearing walls. Many Houston homeowners choose this route in older Heights bungalows where the kitchen is tight and the floor plan is fixed.
The honest limit of a small remodel is geography. If the cabinet run stays on the same wall and the sink stays within a few inches of its existing drain, you’re in the $9,000 to $14,000 range. If we’re swapping the sink and range positions, rewiring a cooktop circuit, or adding an island, the number moves toward $18,000 to $20,000. Curtis Lane reviews every allowance line with you before work starts.
Cabinet Refacing and Replacement
When the cabinet boxes are square and the doors are worn, refacing makes sense. If the boxes have water damage or the face frames are out of level from slab movement, we replace them. KraftMaid and Wellborn are the two lines we quote most often in Houston.
Quartz and Granite Countertops
Countertops on a small Houston kitchen typically run $2,000 to $6,500 installed, including edge profile and sink cutout. We template on site, not from measurements, because Houston slab floors are rarely perfectly level.
Trusted Brands We Service in Houston
Bradford Remodeling Co Houston installs name-brand materials with manufacturer specs and warranties that back our own guarantee. We work regularly with KraftMaid cabinetry, James Hardie exterior products where a remodel pushes into an exterior wall, and Cambria or Caesarstone quartz surfaces. Because we document every specification, you know exactly what’s going into your Houston kitchen before it’s ordered. No off-brand substitution at delivery.

AfterCommon Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Houston Homes
- Slab heave and unlevel floors. Houston’s expansive clay soils swell and shrink with moisture. A kitchen floor that’s off by half an inch over eight feet will crack new tile and throw cabinet doors out of alignment within a year.
- Rusted cast-iron drain lines. In older neighborhoods like the Heights, the acidic soil eats through cast-iron waste pipes. We find them when we open the wall behind the sink, and the fix has to happen before rough-in inspection.
- Aluminum wiring from 1960s and 1970s tract homes. If a kitchen still has aluminum branch circuits, Houston code requires correction before we close the walls. We budget for it in the written allowance structure.
- Floodplain elevation requirements. Many Houston lots sit inside mapped floodplains. If your remodel includes any structural or plumbing work below base flood elevation, the city requires flood-resistant materials and a drainage plan.

FAQs About Kitchen Remodeling in Houston
Houston has no topographical relief and much of the city sits inside mapped floodplains, so the city requires a pre-construction drainage plan for many kitchen remodels that add floor area or move plumbing. The plan shows where water goes on your lot before we break ground, and it’s reviewed as part of the permit. Bradford handles the drainage plan as part of the permit package. Call (940) 289-7658 and we’ll tell you whether your specific address triggers the requirement.
You level the subfloor before you install anything. If the slab has heaved from expansive clay soil, we check the differential with a laser and determine whether the floor needs grinding, leveling compound, or a structural fix. Installing cabinets on an out-of-level floor means doors that bind and countertops that crack. A foundation issue is not a cabinet problem, and we will not install over it without addressing it first.
We write allowances into the contract for exactly this. On a 1980s tract home in Meyerland, our crew opened the kitchen wall and found aluminum wiring feeding the old cooktop circuit. We rewired to code, added AFCI protection, and documented every allowance draw before closing up. The inspection sign-off came two days ahead of schedule. You are never handed a surprise invoice; you approve the allowance in writing before we touch it.
Yes, if the work touches electrical, plumbing, or gas. Replacing cabinets and countertops alone doesn’t usually trigger a permit, but the moment we move a receptacle, add a circuit, or relocate a sink drain, Houston requires one. In older Heights homes with rusted cast-iron drain lines, the plumbing fix alone is a permitted scope. We pull every permit the job requires and we don’t start until it’s posted.
Hidden conditions behind drywall: aluminum wiring, rotted framing, failed waterproofing, or drain lines that have rusted through. The second biggest reason is slab movement that was never checked before the quote. Bradford handles both the same way: inspection first, written allowances in the contract, and every change approved in writing. Call (940) 289-7658 for a free estimate that accounts for what’s actually behind your walls.
