Overview
What we deliver
From a focused refresh to a full down-to-studs kitchen renovation, Novara designs and builds custom kitchens around your family's real routine. We plan the cabinet layout, island size, appliance locations, countertop material, backsplash, lighting, pantry storage, flooring, and finish palette so the room feels tailored — not copied from a showroom.
About the work
Why kitchens at Novara
A professional kitchen remodel is not just new cabinets and countertops. It is a full rethinking of workflow: where groceries land, how dishes move from sink to dishwasher to storage, how the island supports prep and seating, and how the range, hood, refrigerator, and pantry work together. We start there, then build the finishes around the plan.
Cabinetry is fully customizable. We can build shaker, inset, slab-front, painted, stained, rift white oak, walnut, two-tone, glass-front, appliance-panel, tall pantry, hidden coffee bar, drawer storage, pull-out spice, tray dividers, and oversized island storage. Countertops can be quartz, quartzite, marble, granite, porcelain, or butcher block, with backsplash and edge details chosen to match the style of the home.
Lighting, electrical, plumbing, flooring, wall removal, ceiling work, and finish carpentry are coordinated together, so the kitchen does not feel pieced together. Whether you want a clean modern kitchen, a warm traditional kitchen, or a bold custom design, the final result is tailored to your space, your taste, and the way you live every day.

FAQ
Common questions
How long does a Houston kitchen remodel take?
A focused refresh runs 6–8 weeks. A full gut with structural changes typically runs 12–16 weeks from demo to handover.
Do you handle appliances and stone?
Yes — appliance spec, stone sourcing, templating, and install are all coordinated by Novara.
Can I keep my existing layout?
Absolutely — refreshes that reuse the existing footprint are some of our highest-value projects. We'll tell you honestly whether moving walls is worth the spend.
