Short answer? Yes. But like most things in construction, it depends on how you approach it.
When people ask me if remodeling their kitchen will increase their home’s value, I always tell them it’s one of the smartest upgrades you can make—especially in a market like Cypress, TX. According to the latest 2024 Cost vs. Value Report for our region, a minor kitchen remodel recoups about 89.3% of its cost. A more extensive midrange remodel comes in at around 63.2%.
That’s a pretty solid return—especially when you factor in the daily use and enjoyment you get out of the space in the meantime.
What Makes the Most Sense?
The biggest mistake I see people make is assuming they need to gut the kitchen and start from scratch. That’s not always the case. In fact, one of our recent remodels was a 25-year-old kitchen that still had solid cabinet boxes. Instead of tearing everything out, we gave it a facelift—flat panel doors, champagne bronze hardware, a fresh coat of paint, and new white quartz countertops with subtle veining. We even rotated and expanded the island to seat six people comfortably and added a waterfall edge for that high-end feel.
We didn’t have to blow out walls or relocate plumbing. The results were incredible, and the homeowner got the updated look and functionality they wanted without going overboard.
