Kitchen Remodeling in Katy.
Most Katy kitchens were laid out for a different way of cooking and entertaining than the way families actually use them now. Opening the kitchen to the living space, widening the island, and adding real pantry storage does more for daily life than any single finish upgrade.
Kitchen Remodeling in Katy, Texas typically costs $55,000–$95,000 for a mid-range kitchen and $120,000–$220,000 for a custom design-build kitchen, and takes 4–6 weeks of design, selections, and permitting, then 8–12 weeks on site.

Katy homes
Most Katy homes we work on are 1995–2015 builder homes in master-planned communities: two-story plans with formal dining rooms nobody uses, closed-off kitchens, builder-grade cabinetry, and dated primary baths with garden tubs. The highest-return projects here are opening the kitchen to the family room, converting the garden tub into a walk-in wet room, and finishing out flex space or a game room above the garage.
We measure and document the existing kitchen, produce a dimensioned layout and elevations, price the build as a fixed-price proposal, order long-lead cabinetry and appliances before demolition, and then run one continuous crew through demo, rough-in, inspection, finish, and punch list.
Who reviews it
Depending on your address, permits run through the City of Katy, unincorporated Harris County, Fort Bend County, or Waller County — and most master-planned neighborhoods add an HOA architectural review on top of that. Novara prepares the drawings, submits the packet, and manages inspections so you are not chasing three agencies.

Katy questions
How long will I be without a kitchen?
Plan on 8–12 weeks of active construction. We set up a temporary kitchen with the refrigerator, microwave, and sink access wherever the floor plan allows, and we sequence cabinetry delivery so the room is never sitting idle.
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen?
A cosmetic swap of cabinets and counters usually does not. Moving gas, plumbing, or electrical, or removing a wall, does. We pull the permit and manage inspections as part of the contract.
Do you remodel homes in Cinco Ranch and Cross Creek Ranch?
Yes. We regularly work throughout Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Firethorne, Grand Lakes, Seven Meadows, and older Katy neighborhoods, and we handle the HOA architectural submittal for exterior work.
How long does a Katy kitchen remodel take?
A typical full kitchen remodel runs 8–12 weeks on site after design and permitting, which usually adds 4–6 weeks up front. Structural changes or custom cabinetry lead times can extend that.
