Kitchen Remodeling in Keller, TX

Luxury kitchen remodels for Keller homeowners — Hidden Lakes, Marshall Ridge, Old Keller, and the rest of the town we've called home since 2007. $175K-$400K typical scope, 12-22 weeks construction.

A luxury kitchen remodel in Keller typically reconfigures 300-600 square feet, installs custom cabinetry, replaces countertops with natural stone or premium engineered quartz, upgrades to Wolf + Sub-Zero appliances, and integrates lighting + millwork through the pantry and breakfast area. Most Keller kitchens land in the $175,000 to $400,000 range as of 2026 — 5-10% under the Southlake premium on identical scope.

Kitchen remodeling for Keller, done right.

Keller is where Swanson Renovations started, and it’s still where we do our most frequent kitchen work. Since 2007 we’ve walked Keller kitchens across Hidden Lakes, Marshall Ridge, and Old Keller — homes ranging from 2005-plus custom builds to original 1970s-1990s houses where an addition or opened wall has to respect the existing roofline and proportion.

The Keller luxury kitchen doesn’t have one fixed shape the way some neighborhoods do — the housing stock spans a wider range of vintages than Southlake’s more uniform 2000-2010 build era. What stays constant is the process: opening closed layouts where the structure allows it, refining the cabinetry vocabulary, and letting a well-chosen stone selection carry the room.

Three moves we make in most Keller kitchens.

1. Open the layout where it’s closed.

Older Keller homes, especially in Old Keller and the earlier sections of Hidden Lakes, often carry a kitchen walled off from the family or breakfast room. Where the structure allows, we remove the load-bearing wall, size a steel beam, and re-route HVAC and electrical to reunite the spaces. Budget: $25,000-$55,000. Time impact: 2-3 weeks.

2. Refine the cabinetry.

Whatever era the original kitchen was built in, the cabinetry vocabulary is usually the first thing that reads as dated. We rebuild with a cleaner vocabulary — inset shaker or slab-front, a lighter finish, simpler crown and hardware. Custom millwork from our long-time local craftsman when the budget supports it; semi-custom lines when it doesn’t.

3. Let one stone carry the room.

A single high-impact stone move — usually the island top, sometimes the full perimeter — anchors the kitchen. Our most-spec’d choices in Keller: Taj Mahal quartzite, Calacatta marble, and premium engineered quartz when a client wants marble’s look without the maintenance. We go to the yard with you for the marquee slab.

Frequently asked questions

What does a kitchen remodel cost in Keller?
Most Keller kitchen remodels we complete land in the $175,000 to $400,000 range as of 2026 — 5-10% under the Southlake premium for identical scope. The savings come from a lighter permitting path in most Keller neighborhoods, not from a different finish standard; the craftsmanship spec is identical to our Southlake and Westlake work. Use our kitchen budget calculator for a more specific range against your inputs.
How long does a Keller kitchen remodel take?
Active construction is typically 12-22 weeks. Add 8-14 weeks before construction for design coordination with your interior designer, HOA architectural review where applicable (active in Marshall Ridge and Estates at Hidden Lakes), permits from the City of Keller, and material lead times. Custom cabinetry is the longest-lead item at 10-14 weeks and gates everything. From first consultation to keys: 6-9 months for most Keller kitchens.
Is Swanson Renovations actually local to Keller?
Yes — headquartered in Keller since Chad and Catherine founded the company here in 2007. When a Keller kitchen project needs Chad on-site, he's minutes away, not dispatching across the metroplex from a Dallas office.
Do you handle Keller HOA or ARB review for a kitchen project?
It depends on the neighborhood. Marshall Ridge and Estates at Hidden Lakes have active architectural review boards; much of Old Keller has no HOA at all. Interior-only kitchen remodels rarely trigger review regardless of neighborhood. City of Keller permits are required for every scope, and we pull all of them.
Can we live in the house during a Keller kitchen remodel?
Yes, with planning. We set up a temporary kitchen — microwave, mini-fridge, induction burner, electric kettle — in a nearby room for the demolition and installation phases. The hardest stretch is typically the final two weeks of installation, when trades are in and out daily.
What Keller neighborhoods do you work in?
All of them. Our core Keller kitchen work is concentrated in Hidden Lakes and Estates at Hidden Lakes, Marshall Ridge, and Old Keller — but if your street isn't in one of those specific communities, call anyway. We service all of Keller.
Do you provide 3D renderings, or do I need to bring my own drawings?
Yes — every Swanson estimate includes 3D renderings of your kitchen as part of the design phase, so you can see the finished space before a single wall comes down. If you're working with a designer who needs an extra hand, we also draft floor plans and renderings in-house. If you don't have a designer yet, we can develop the drawings ourselves or introduce you to one we trust.
