A luxury kitchen remodel in Southlake costs $60,000 to $120,000 and above. That covers a down-to-the-studs rebuild — custom cabinetry, premium stone, relocated plumbing and electrical, and integrated appliances — priced under a fixed-price contract before demolition, with no separate designer bill.
What each tier buys
| Tier | Typical Cost | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Facelift | $15,000–$25,000 | Same layout — new counters, backsplash, paint, hardware, lighting, refreshed cabinets |
| Mid-range remodel | $40,000–$60,000 | New cabinets, quartz or granite, new appliances, tile, moderate layout changes |
| Luxury / full gut | $60,000–$120,000+ | Down to the studs — moved walls, relocated plumbing and electrical, custom cabinetry, premium finishes |
Published ranges, not a teaser number. Every Birdseye kitchen is priced as a fixed amount against a written scope before demolition begins.
Where a luxury kitchen budget actually goes
Cabinetry is almost always the largest line, and in a Southlake-scale kitchen it is frequently custom rather than semi-custom — built to exact dimensions, inset doors, dovetailed drawer boxes, integrated appliance panels, and a finish matched to the rest of the house. That work is measured in linear feet at $500 to $1,200 and up.
Layout changes are the second driver. Moving a sink or a range means relocating supply, drain, gas, and electrical — and in a slab-on-grade home that means cutting and re-pouring concrete before anything visible happens.
Stone comes third. A large island in a single premium slab, a full-height slab backsplash, and mitered waterfall edges are the details that read as expensive, and they are priced by the slab and by the fabrication labor rather than by square foot alone.
Appliances sit outside the construction budget but drive it — a professional range needs a hood sized to its output and a gas line to match, and integrated refrigeration needs cabinetry built around it.
Remodeling in Southlake specifically
Southlake homes are generally newer, larger, and built to a higher original specification than the North Texas average, which changes the project in two ways. The structure is usually sound, so the work is genuinely about design and finish rather than about repairing what is behind the walls. And expectations are high enough that finish carpentry, tile layout, and cabinetry fit are what the project is judged on.
Many Southlake neighborhoods also have architectural review for anything affecting the exterior. If the kitchen project includes a window change, a new patio door, or an exterior wall modification, that review runs on the committee’s meeting schedule — which is why we prepare the submittal during design rather than after.
Why fixed price matters more at this scale
Luxury kitchens have more selections, more trades, and more long-lead items than any other room, which is exactly where cost-plus contracts drift. A fixed price requires every fixture, slab, tile, and cabinet to be specified before the contract is signed. That front-loading is the reason the number holds — and it is why design, engineering, permitting, and construction sit in one contract with no separate designer invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a high-end kitchen cost in Southlake?
$60,000 to $120,000 and above for a full gut with custom cabinetry, premium stone, relocated plumbing, and integrated appliances. A mid-range remodel on the existing layout runs $40,000 to $60,000.
How long does a luxury kitchen remodel take?
Eight to fourteen weeks of construction, plus design and selections beforehand. Custom cabinetry typically runs eight to sixteen weeks from approved drawings, so cabinetry lead time usually sets the start date rather than crew availability.
Do I need a separate kitchen designer?
Not with a design-build contractor. Design, engineering, permitting, and construction sit in one contract, so selections get priced as they are made instead of after a complete design set has been produced and paid for.
Can I stay in the house during a kitchen remodel?
Most families do. We set up dust control and a temporary kitchen area, though you should plan on being without a functioning kitchen for most of the construction window.
Does a luxury kitchen remodel add value in Southlake?
A well-executed kitchen is the strongest single feature in a Southlake listing and recovers a meaningful share of its cost. Finishing far above the neighborhood norm returns proportionally less — the case is usually living in it.
