A full kitchen remodel in the Arlington area typically runs $30,000 to $75,000. The size of the range comes down to three things: cabinetry (stock, semi-custom, or full custom), countertop material, and whether the layout itself is changing or just the finishes.

Keeping the existing layout and choosing semi-custom cabinetry with a mid-tier quartz countertop is what keeps a remodel in the $30,000-$45,000 range. This is the most common scope for a 1990s-2000s DFW kitchen that needs a full update but doesn't need walls moved.

What Pushes a Remodel Toward $60,000-$75,000

The Cabinetry Decision Matters More Than the Countertop

Homeowners often focus on countertop material first, but cabinetry typically makes up a larger share of a kitchen budget. Semi-custom cabinetry from a quality line can look nearly indistinguishable from full custom in photos, while running meaningfully less. Full custom earns its cost in exact-fit storage and unusual layouts, not in appearance alone.

Phone estimates for a full kitchen remodel are rarely accurate, since cabinet condition, electrical, and plumbing behind the walls all affect the real number. Yerg Remodeling quotes Arlington-area kitchens after an in-home assessment, with one team handling design through final installation.

A full high-end kitchen remodel in the Arlington area typically runs $30,000 to $75,000, depending on cabinetry, countertops, and layout changes.

For primary bathroom remodels, most Arlington-area homeowners are choosing a curbless walk-in shower over a tub-shower combo. That said, the right choice depends on the bathroom's size, whether it's the home's only tub, and resale considerations.

When a Tub-Shower Combo Still Makes Sense

If the bathroom being remodeled is the only one in the home with a tub, removing it can hurt resale value, especially for buyers with young children. In smaller secondary bathrooms, a well-built tub-shower combo is often the more space-efficient choice.

A curbless walk-in shower with frameless glass typically costs more than a standard tub-shower combo, mainly due to waterproofing, a linear drain, and glass installation. The gap is worth discussing against your specific bathroom's size and how the home is likely to be used going forward.

Yerg Remodeling walks Arlington-area homeowners through both options during an in-home consultation, including which choice fits the specific bathroom, not just current trends.

Walk-in showers are the more common primary-bath choice for Arlington-area remodels in 2026, but a tub-shower combo still makes sense in specific cases.

A full kitchen remodel typically takes 4 to 8 weeks of active construction, from demolition through final walkthrough. The bigger variable most homeowners don't plan for is cabinetry lead time, which can add several weeks before construction even starts.

Semi-custom and custom cabinetry frequently take 4 to 8 weeks to arrive after an order is placed, and that clock has to start before demolition begins if you don't want your kitchen sitting torn out and waiting. This is the single biggest reason a kitchen remodel's total calendar time is longer than the construction time alone.

Yerg Remodeling sequences Arlington-area kitchen projects around real cabinetry lead times upfront, so the schedule you're given at the start is the one you can actually plan around.

A full kitchen remodel typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, though cabinetry lead times often set the real schedule.

Luxury vinyl plank, hardwood, and tile each have a place in a North Texas home, and the right choice depends on the room, foot traffic, and how the space handles humidity and temperature swings, not just appearance.

LVP handles North Texas's humidity and temperature swings better than solid hardwood, resists scratches from pets, and costs less per square foot. It's the practical choice for kitchens, mudrooms, and whole-home installs where budget and durability matter more than the exact look and feel of real wood.

Solid or engineered hardwood remains the higher-end choice for living areas and bedrooms, and it's what most buyers expect to see in a higher-priced DFW home. Engineered hardwood handles humidity swings better than solid wood and is generally the safer choice for North Texas unless the home has tight humidity control.

Tile remains the right call for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and entryways where water exposure is a real factor. Large-format tile in a wood-look finish has closed much of the visual gap with real hardwood, at a price point closer to LVP.

Matching Flooring Across an Open Floor Plan

In an open-concept home, running one consistent material (usually LVP or engineered hardwood) across the kitchen and adjoining living space reads as a more finished, higher-end remodel than switching materials at every room line.

Yerg Remodeling installs all three, hardwood, LVP, and tile, and helps Arlington-area homeowners choose room by room instead of defaulting to one material for the whole house.

LVP, hardwood, and tile each fit different rooms and budgets in a North Texas home. Here's how to choose between them for a remodel.

A large share of the 1990s-era homes across Arlington and the surrounding DFW Metroplex are still on their original kitchen cabinetry. Here's what to look for if you're not sure how old yours actually is.

Oak with a heavy golden or honey-toned stain, often with raised-panel doors, was the standard cabinetry finish through most of the 1990s. If your cabinets have this look, they're very likely original to the home.

Polished brass hardware was standard through the 1990s before brushed nickel took over in the early 2000s. Original brass pulls and hinges are one of the clearest date markers on an untouched kitchen.

3. A Closed-Off, Compartmentalized Layout

Open-concept kitchens didn't become the default until the 2000s and later. A separate, walled-off kitchen with a pass-through window is a strong sign of original 1990s construction.

4. Laminate Countertops with a Bullnose Edge

Laminate counters with a rounded bullnose front edge were the standard builder-grade choice through the 1990s, well before quartz became widely available.

A small built-in desk or wall-mounted phone nook near the kitchen is a distinctly 1990s feature, since it was designed around a landline, not a laptop.

None of this means a full remodel is mandatory, but it does mean the kitchen is old enough that cabinetry, layout, and countertops are usually all due for an update at the same time rather than one at a time. Yerg Remodeling assesses all three together during an in-home consultation.

Oak cabinetry, brass hardware, and a closed-off layout are common signs of original 1990s kitchen cabinetry still common across DFW.

Price is the easiest thing to compare between remodeling quotes, and often the least useful. These are the questions that actually tell you what a project will be like once it starts.

Ask to see proof of insurance directly, not just a verbal confirmation. This protects you if something is damaged or someone is injured on your property during the project.

Some remodeling companies sell the job with the owner, then hand it to a rotating crew you never meet. Ask specifically who runs the day-to-day work and how often the owner or lead is actually on-site.

A reasonable payment schedule is tied to completed milestones, not a large deposit followed by one final payment. Be cautious of any contractor asking for the majority of payment upfront.

Almost every remodel uncovers something once walls are opened. Ask how the contractor documents and prices change orders before you sign, not after you're mid-project and the surprise cost is already on the table.

Is the Estimate in Writing, With Specifics?

A trustworthy estimate names specific materials (cabinet line, countertop material, flooring product), not vague line items like "cabinetry allowance." Vague allowances are where budgets quietly grow.

Yerg Remodeling is insured, owner-led on every project, and provides written estimates with the actual materials named, so Arlington-area homeowners know exactly what they're agreeing to before work starts.

Ask about licensing and insurance, payment schedule, change-order policy, and who's actually on-site, before signing a remodeling contract.
