Discovery & Plans

We visit your home, discuss layout changes, materials, and timeline. If you're in an HOA, we confirm approval steps upfront.

Why Local Expertise Matters

University Park has unique requirements. We know them inside and out.

Building Code & Permit Navigation

University Park enforces the 2021 International Building Codes with local amendments. Kitchen remodels that touch plumbing or electrical always need permits. We pull them, schedule inspections, and ensure your project passes.

No contractor signs are allowed in residential districts. We coordinate crews and material delivery to respect these rules and your neighbors.

HOA Coordination

Many properties in the Hillcrest and SMU-adjacent neighborhoods have HOA requirements. Full kitchen remodels often need architectural review. We help prepare HOA applications, provide timelines, and work within approved hours (usually 7am–7pm weekdays, 9am–9pm weekends).

Parking District Awareness

University Park has resident parking districts that limit where crew and delivery trucks can park. We coordinate access so your driveway stays usable and neighbors aren't blocked. Material staging respects these rules from day one.

20 Years Kitchen Fabrication + 500+ Projects

We've cut, finished, and installed countertops for hundreds of University Park kitchens. From Hillcrest to the SMU area, we know the building types, lot sizes, and what works in tight spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do kitchen remodels in University Park require permits?

Yes. Any kitchen project involving plumbing, electrical work, or structural changes requires a permit from the City of University Park Community Development Department. Paint and minor fixture swaps don't, but most full remodels do. We handle the permit process.

How long does a kitchen or bathroom remodel typically take?

A kitchen usually takes 4–8 weeks depending on size, plumbing layout, and permit timeline. Bathrooms range 3–6 weeks. Timeline discussed at your free consultation.

Do I need HOA approval for a kitchen remodel if I live in an HOA community?

Full kitchen remodels often require HOA review, especially if they involve structural changes, plumbing, or visible changes. We help prepare HOA applications and coordinate approval timelines upfront.

What are typical work hours for crews in University Park?

We work 7am–6pm weekdays, respecting resident parking districts and neighborhood quiet. HOAs may set tighter windows (check your CC&Rs). We always coordinate with you and neighbors.

What materials do you recommend for kitchen countertops?

Quartz is durable and low-maintenance. Granite offers natural beauty. Laminate is budget-friendly. Butcher block adds warmth but needs care. We discuss pros and cons for your kitchen style and lifestyle during consultation.

Can you handle a tub-to-shower conversion in my bathroom?

Yes. We remove the tub, rework plumbing for the new shower valve, and install a walk-in or standard shower base with tile surround. We'll design it for your space and ensure proper waterproofing.
