Kitchen Remodeling in Memorial.

Most Memorial 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.

Local conditions

Memorial homes

Memorial Bend and Wilchester are full of 1950s and 60s ranch homes with great bones, low ceilings, and compartmentalized plans — ideal candidates for opening up the public rooms, raising ceilings, and adding a proper primary suite. In Hunters Creek, Bunker Hill, and Piney Point, projects skew toward large-scale renovations and new custom construction on established lots.

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.

Permits & approvals

Who reviews it

Each village — Hunters Creek, Bunker Hill, Piney Point, Hedwig — runs its own permitting with its own setback, drainage, and tree rules, and they are stricter than the City of Houston. We confirm the jurisdiction for your address and manage the submittal and inspections there.

FAQ

Memorial 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 permit in the Memorial Villages?

Yes. Each village has its own building department and drainage and tree requirements, and we handle the submittal, revisions, and inspections.

Can a 1960s ranch get vaulted ceilings?

Often yes. It depends on the roof framing and load paths, which we evaluate with a structural engineer during design.
