Kitchen Remodeling in Katy, TX
Katy is about twenty miles north of Sugar Land, and the city itself straddles the Fort Bend, Harris and Waller county lines, while the wider area people call Katy extends well beyond the city limits into all three. It is one of the largest concentrations of 1990s and 2000s suburban housing in the region, which makes the kitchen work here fairly predictable.
The characteristic Katy kitchen is in a two-storey from the 1990s or 2000s: reasonably large, open or half-open to a two-storey family room, with a soffit above the wall cabinets, a small island, and a cabinet run in a stained oak or maple that has aged out of fashion. The most common project is new or refaced cabinetry taken to the ceiling where the soffit permits, new counters, and lighting redone.
The soffit is the item to investigate early. Some are hollow drywall boxes that come out in an afternoon. Others carry HVAC trunk ducts to the second floor, a plumbing vent from an upstairs bathroom, or structure. Opening a small inspection hole before the cabinet order is placed is the difference between a plan that works and a change order.
Full remodels in this stock generally land at $45,000 to $95,000, and a refacing-plus-counters package on sound plywood boxes lands closer to $20,000 to $35,000. Because the cabinet runs in these houses are long, the per-linear-foot decision on cabinetry matters more here than it does in a small kitchen.
Permitting depends on whether the address is inside the City of Katy limits or in the unincorporated county, and which county it falls in. That is determined per address, not per neighbourhood name, and it is the first thing a contractor checks in this market.
