Kitchen Remodeling in Denton County, TX

Kitchen remodeling in Denton County, TX means a different drive and a different house depending on the town. From our Lake Highlands base in Dallas, Carrollton is about 30 minutes away, Lewisville about 40 and the city of Denton about 55, most of it up I-35E. Six Design Group keeps design and construction under one team, so the people who draw your kitchen are the people who build it.

Two things set the county apart: water and age. Lewisville Lake and Grapevine Lake shape the southern half, where much of the housing went up in the 1980s and 1990s, while Little Elm and the northern edges keep adding homes built after 2000. Each group needs its own starting plan.

Kitchen Remodeling in Denton County Homes, Decade by Decade

A house's decade predicts most of what turns up behind its cabinets, and in a county of roughly one million people the decades are spread out by town.

• 1970s and 1980s tract homes. The Colony was built largely by Fox & Jacobs in this era, and Trophy Club grew around its country club from the 1970s on. Expect compact kitchens, closed walls and original bath layouts.
• 1980s and 1990s lake-area subdivisions. Lewisville, Flower Mound, Highland Village and Corinth hold large stocks of these, often with oak cabinets, tile or laminate counters and cultured-marble vanities.
• Post-2000 builds. Little Elm's lakefront neighborhoods and the new streets around Denton have builder-grade finishes owners want to upgrade rather than gut.

Nearly all of these homes sit on slabs over clay that swells when wet and shrinks in drought, so floors get checked for level before stone or large tile is planned. Older homes near the Denton Courthouse Square and the UNT and TWU campuses are the exception, with more pier-and-beam floors and pre-1978 paint covered by the EPA lead renovation rule.

Drive Times Across Denton County, Road by Road

Travel time depends on the corridor, and visits are planned around it. I-635 west to I-35E north covers Carrollton, Lewisville, Corinth and Denton. The President George Bush Turnpike and SH-121 reach The Colony, the Dallas North Tollway heads toward Little Elm, and SH-114 past DFW Airport leads to Trophy Club.

Denton, Trophy Club and the county's northern edge are long drives from Lake Highlands. We schedule those by appointment and fit the visit pattern to the size of the job, and we won't promise a response time we can't keep there.

Which Permit Office Covers Your Denton County Address?

Your city or town, not the county, handles permits for remodels inside city limits. Lewisville, Carrollton, Flower Mound, The Colony, Little Elm, Corinth, Highland Village, Trophy Club and Denton each run their own building inspection office, with their own forms and inspection scheduling. Large master-planned communities outside city limits, such as Lantana, are the exception: there is no city building office to call, so we confirm with Denton County which approvals apply, including septic and floodplain rules where they touch the work.

Texas sets the trade rules: plumbing must be done by plumbers licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners and electrical work by electricians licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Verify any contractor's numbers on the state lookups. Many subdivisions here also have HOAs, so read your deed restrictions for rules on work hours and dumpster placement.
