Kitchen and bathroom remodeling in McKinney, TX

McKinney's downtown square is surrounded by some of the oldest homes in the area. Much of the rest of the city went up from the 1990s on, in large planned communities like Stonebridge Ranch and Craig Ranch. Which part of town you're in says a lot about the project.

Newer kitchens are usually open to the family room and finished in builder-grade materials: stained or painted cabinets, granite, a tile backsplash, an island. The layout works, so the goal is better storage and finishes that feel like yours. Baths tend to have stock tile, a basic hall vanity and a primary tub that doesn't get much use.

Closer to downtown it's a different story. Kitchens can be smaller and more closed in, and baths may be tight, with a tub and shower combo, older tile and very little storage. Floors and walls may have shifted over the decades, and you'll sometimes find one past update layered on top of another. We plan around the house as it is instead of forcing a standard layout into it.

Whatever the age of the house, we generally leave the sink, range, toilet, tub and main walls where they are. Costs and timing are easier to predict that way, and more of the budget goes to things you use every day. If a bigger change makes sense, you'll know what it adds before you commit.
