How much does a kitchen remodel cost in 2026 Houston?
Answered by AskBaily Editorial · Updated
Short answer
Cabinet-and-countertop refresh: $20K-$45K. Mid-tier Houston kitchen (new cabinetry, island, appliance package, plumbing move, permit): $50K-$115K. High-end Houston kitchen with custom millwork, stone slab counter, Sub-Zero/Wolf package, and structural beam for open plan: $125K-$275K. Harris County's 2.3-2.6% combined effective property-tax rate flows into carrying cost on any remodel that increases appraised value.
