Kitchen and Bath Remodel in Dallas, TX

Kitchens and bathrooms age at the same pace. If the kitchen has its original cabinets and tile counters, the hall bath usually has the matching cultured-marble vanity and a tub surround from the same year. Remodeling them together costs less disruption than living through two separate projects.

Why Remodel Kitchen and Bathroom Together?

The short answer is shared trades. Both rooms need a plumber, an electrician, a tile setter, a cabinet installer and a countertop fabricator, and every separate trip has its own setup time and scheduling gap.

Doing them together also lets the design relate. You choose one family of cabinets, tile and fixtures instead of trying to match a kitchen remodeled five years ago. And if the drains or supply lines under the slab are old, they are opened once.

The signs that both rooms are due tend to show up together: original oak cabinets and tile counters in the kitchen, a cultured-marble vanity and tub surround in the hall bath, grout that cracks along the same line in both floors as the clay under the slab moves, and a sink base or toilet floor that has gone soft from a slow leak.

What a Kitchen and Bath Remodel in Dallas Includes

A two-room project with us is built from these deliverables:

• Kitchen: layout, custom cabinets, granite, quartz or marble counters, backsplash tile, sink and fixtures, lighting.
• Bathroom: shower or tub, waterproofed tile walls and floor, vanity and top, toilet, mirror, lighting and an exhaust fan.
• Shared orders: cabinets and stone ordered together so finishes match and templating happens on one visit.
• Flooring: new or refinished floors where the rooms meet the hallway.
• Plumbing and electrical: supply lines, drains and circuits updated by licensed trades.

Hallway doors, trim and paint between the two rooms are often added, so the path from kitchen to bath reads as finished too.

You get one set of drawings, a combined selections list and a line-item price that separates each room. The scope also names which room goes offline first and for how long, and which bathroom stays usable while the other work runs.

Kitchen and Bath Design That Relates Without Matching

The best two-room designs share a palette rather than copying each other. A kitchen in painted cabinets and quartz might pair with a bathroom vanity in the same white oak as the kitchen island, or the same brass hardware in both rooms.

Practical differences matter too. A bathroom vanity sits at a different height than a kitchen counter, bathroom cabinets face more humidity, and bath floor tile needs more slip resistance than kitchen tile. We design each room for its use and tie them together with material and color. For dedicated bathroom options, see our full bathroom remodeling services.

Which Room Should Be Finished First?

The bathroom usually finishes first. It is the smaller room, it can often be completed while kitchen cabinets are still being built, and nobody wants to be without it longer than necessary.

The two rooms still overlap. Demolition and plumbing rough-in for both can happen in the same window, so one inspection round covers them. Then the bath gets waterproofing and tile while the kitchen waits for cabinets. If the house has only one full bath, we time its demolition carefully.

A Two-Room Remodel, Step by Step

1. Two-room visit. We look at both spaces, check under the sinks and talk about budget and how your household runs.
2. Design and selections. We draw both rooms and help you choose cabinets, stone, tile, fixtures and lighting, priced room by room.
3. Permits. We file plumbing, electrical and any structural permits with your city.
4. Protection and demolition. Dust barriers go up and both rooms are taken down to the studs or the slab as the scope requires.
5. Rough-in and install. Plumbing and electrical pass inspection, the shower is waterproofed and tiled, cabinets go in, then counters, backsplash and fixtures.
6. Fixture test and handover. Every faucet, drain, fan and light gets run with you present, final items are fixed and inspections are closed.

Plumbing, Ventilation and Permits for Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling

Many Dallas homes sit on slab foundations, where moving a sink, toilet or shower drain means cutting the concrete and trenching to the main line. It is one of the largest variables in a two-room plan, so it is settled during design. On expansive Blackland Prairie clay, tile in both rooms goes over a crack-isolation membrane to handle the small seasonal movement of the slab.

Ventilation matters in both rooms: a kitchen range hood and a bathroom exhaust fan ducted to the outdoors keep moisture out of the walls. The regulated work stays with licensed trades. The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners licenses the plumbers, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation licenses the electricians, and the City of Dallas requires contractors to register before pulling permits. Ask for the numbers and check them.

Kitchen and Bath Renovation Cost Drivers

Kitchen and bath remodeling cost is shaped by layout changes, cabinet type, stone choice and the condition of old plumbing. Keeping fixtures where they are costs far less than moving drains on a slab. Custom cabinets cost more than semi-custom, and quartzite usually costs more than quartz. Replacing old galvanized supply lines adds labor but avoids opening finished walls later. For the kitchen half alone, published Dallas averages run from $35,600 (RenovCost, 425 Dallas-Fort Worth projects) to $51,439 (LookupCost, 2026), and the bathroom adds its own line on top. Sharing a stone slab or a tile order between rooms is where a combined project usually saves.

If the kitchen and bath are only part of what needs work, a whole-house remodel may be the better plan. In a 1950s to 1970s ranch, read about mid-century home remodels first.

Two-room projects are a good fit across Dallas, starting near our Lake Highlands base. Neighborhoods such as Los Rios in Plano still have 1970s to 1990s homes with original cabinets beside cultured-marble vanities. Sachse grew fast in the 2000s, so builder-grade kitchens and baths there are now about 20 years old, and Richardson has original 1960s bathrooms worth updating carefully.
