NRH Kitchen Remodels
From Ranch to Two-Story
NRH incorporated in 1953 with about 500 residents and passed 45,000 by 1990. That steady growth means a kitchen here might date from 1960, 1985 or 2010, and each needs a different plan. We size the job to your house, file the trade permits and keep you updated. Our team puts every price in writing, and the estimate costs nothing.
- Arrival windows we actually keep
- Family business remodeling since 2011
- Experienced kitchen crew
- Cabinets, tops, flooring and new floor plans
- No-cost estimates broken down by item
- Workmanship backed by a written warranty

What NRH Kitchen Remodels
Typically Cost
Homes in North Richland Hills range from under 1,000 square feet in parts of Holiday West to more than 4,000 in Thornbridge, so kitchen budgets vary widely. The scope you pick matters most. The three cards below show where most NRH projects end up.
Finish Upgrade
Footprint stays, finishes change
- Cabinets refaced or repainted
- Stone or quartz tops with new splash
- Faucet, sink and light fixtures
Complete Kitchen Replacement
Typical for Richland Oaks and Holiday West homes
- All-new cabinet boxes and tops
- Flooring and layered lighting
- Circuits and plumbing to the 2024 code set
Open-Plan Custom Kitchen
Common for larger Thornbridge homes
- Wall taken out or layout redrawn
- Custom cabinetry and a large island
- Higher-end appliances and surfaces
NRH kitchens are bid after a free walkthrough at your home, with materials, labor and permits on separate lines.
Kitchen Size
A Richland Oaks kitchen and a Thornbridge kitchen can differ by hundreds of square feet of cabinets and counter. We price to your actual room, not a template.
Layout Changes
Pulling out a wall or shifting the range adds new venting, drain lines and possibly a beam. You will see that cost broken out on its own line.
Cabinet Quality
Choices run from refacing to stock, semi-custom and fully custom cabinetry. Each step up changes price and delivery time, and we show door samples at every level.
Countertop Material
Stone and quartz are billed by measured area, with edge profiles and cutouts added. We give you the exact figure once the room is measured.
Appliance Upgrades
Induction ranges, double ovens and built-in refrigerators may need a heavier circuit, gas work or wider openings. We plan them into the cabinet drawings.
Plumbing & Electrical Work
NRH issues separate permits for plumbing, electrical and mechanical work, done by state-licensed trades. Those permits are part of our quote.
NRH Kitchens, Neighborhood by Neighborhood
North Richland Hills began when Clarence Jones turned his 268-acre dairy farm into home lots in the early 1950s. The city grew from 8,662 people in 1960 to 45,895 by 1990 and kept building after that, which is why its kitchens span six decades.
1958 to 1971
Richland Oaks, about 1,400 to 2,100 sq ft
- U-shaped kitchens closed off from the den

1979 to 2001
Holiday West, about 1,000 to 2,700 sq ft

- Tile or laminate counters
- Breakfast bars that waste floor space
1990s and Newer
Thornbridge (1994 onward) and HomeTown
- Large kitchens with dated granite
- Islands without storage or seating
- Owners wanting lighter, cleaner finishes
NRH Permit Rules for Kitchen Remodels
- Remodeling, altering or demolishing parts of a home needs a building permit
- Plumbing, electrical and mechanical work each need a separate permit from state-licensed trades
- The city follows the 2024 International Codes and the 2023 National Electrical Code, with local amendments
- Contractors register online through the NRH E-Portal, with no annual fee
- Inspections requested before 4 p.m. are usually done the next business day
- Building Inspections can be reached at 817-427-6300
We pull every permit and request each inspection for you.

Inside an NRH
Kitchen Project
Our process breaks an NRH kitchen remodel into four clear stages. This is how it runs with Southern Home Remodeling.
-
Step 01
Consultation
We walk the kitchen with you, take measurements, open the sink cabinet and check the breaker panel, then talk budget.
-
Step 02
Planning
Drawings and finishes get finalized, and we submit each trade permit through the NRH E-Portal. Your bid is locked here.
-
Step 03
Remodeling
Floors are protected, the old kitchen comes out and construction follows the drawings. We request inspections before 4 p.m. to keep things moving.
-
Step 04
Final Touch
Trim, hardware and touch-ups finish the room. We test every circuit, tap and appliance before the final walkthrough with you.

Real Feedback From NRH Homeowners
When an NRH Kitchen Needs More Than a Repair
Peeling veneer, scorched laminate, a refrigerator that will not fit the opening and outlets that trip the breaker are signs you have outgrown the room. If the cabinets are original to a 1960s or 1980s NRH home, starting fresh usually pays off.
One crew lead runs your project from the first visit to the punch list. The timeline is written down before work begins, and you hear from us when it changes.

Kitchen Remodeling Areas We Serve
FAQ
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in North Richland Hills?
Most kitchen remodels in North Richland Hills land in one of three ranges: around $10,000 for a refresh with new cabinet doors, counters and lighting; around $30,000 for a full replacement in the same layout; and $60,000 and up for a new layout with custom cabinets and an island. Financing is available through a third-party service on our estimates, and we fix the price in writing after a free in-home visit.
How long does an NRH kitchen remodel take?
Plan on 6 to 10 weeks for a kitchen remodel from demolition to the final walkthrough. Custom cabinets and wall removal sit at the longer end, and the schedule is in writing before we start.
What permits does North Richland Hills require?
The city requires a permit for nearly any remodeling or alteration, and plumbing, electrical and mechanical work each need their own permit from state-licensed trades. We handle all of it.
Which building codes does NRH use?
North Richland Hills has adopted the 2024 International Codes, including the IRC and IPC, along with the 2023 National Electrical Code and local amendments. New kitchen circuits and plumbing are built to those standards.
How do inspections work in NRH?
Inspections are requested through the city’s E-Portal or by phone. Requests made before 4 p.m. are usually done the next business day, and we schedule each one.
Can I live at home during the remodel?
Yes. Most clients set up a microwave, coffee maker and small fridge in another room. We seal off the kitchen and clean up every day.
Do you install custom cabinets and countertops?
Yes. We offer stock, semi-custom and custom cabinets, and install quartz, granite and solid surface tops templated in your home.
Can you open my kitchen to the family room?
Usually. We confirm whether the wall carries load and what runs inside it. A load-bearing wall needs a beam and a permit, both included in the price.
What happens if I change my mind mid-project?
We write a change order with the price and schedule impact. Nothing changes until you approve it in writing.
Does Southern Home Remodeling need a Texas contractor license?
Texas does not issue a state license for general remodeling contractors, so there is no license number to show. The plumbing and electrical work on your project is done by state-licensed trades, and we register with the City of North Richland Hills for every permit we pull.
Do you work near North Richland Hills?
Yes. We also remodel kitchens in Hurst, Bedford, Keller and Colleyville, working from our office on Sanford Street in Arlington.
Do you warranty your kitchen work?
Yes. Our standard workmanship warranty is 12 months, written into your contract. Cabinets, appliances and fixtures carry their own manufacturer warranties.
