You’re not just getting new cabinets or countertops. You’re getting a kitchen that works the way your family actually lives—more counter space where you prep meals, better lighting over the island, storage that makes sense for how you cook.
The layout flows. Appliances fit where they should. Finishes match the character of your Alamo Heights home without looking like they’re trying too hard.
And when friends come over, the kitchen becomes the room everyone gravitates to—not because you told them to, but because it finally feels like the heart of your home. That’s what happens when the remodel is done right. No regrets about choices you rushed through. No “we should have done it differently” moments six months later.
You walk in every morning and think, “Yeah, this was worth it.”
We started A Plus Home Remodel because too many homeowners in this area were getting burned by contractors who disappeared mid-project or delivered work that looked good for a month before falling apart. We built this company around doing it right the first time.
For over 30 years, we’ve been the kitchen remodeling company that Tarrant County homeowners call when they want the job done without drama. We know the building codes. We know what materials hold up in Texas heat. We know what actually adds value to homes in neighborhoods like Alamo Heights—where architectural character matters and shortcuts show.
You’re not hiring a crew that’s learning on your dime. You’re hiring a team that’s already completed over 400 local projects and knows exactly what your kitchen renovation needs to succeed.
First, we walk through your kitchen and talk about what’s not working. You tell us what you need—more storage, better flow, an island that actually fits your space. We listen, take measurements, and ask questions most contractors skip.
Then we map out the project with digital design technology so you can see what your kitchen will look like before we touch a single cabinet. No guessing. No surprises halfway through when it’s too late to change your mind.
Once you approve the design, we give you a fixed-price estimate. That number doesn’t change unless you ask us to add something new. No hidden fees. No “unforeseen circumstances” that magically inflate the bill.
During construction, you get one point of contact who manages everything—demo, plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinets, countertops. You’re not juggling five different contractors or wondering who’s responsible when something goes wrong. We handle it.
We clean up daily because living through a remodel is hard enough without construction dust covering everything you own. And when we’re done, your kitchen works exactly the way we said it would.
Ready to get started?
Every kitchen remodeling project we take on includes complete project management from demo to final walkthrough. That means licensed professionals handling every trade—plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinetry—with proper permits pulled and inspections scheduled.
You get custom kitchen design services that account for how your family uses the space. We’re not dropping in a template layout. We’re designing for your cooking habits, your storage needs, your sight lines from the living room.
In Alamo Heights, where homes range from historic estates to modern builds, that customization matters. Your kitchen renovation needs to respect your home’s architecture while delivering the functionality you’re missing. We’ve worked with enough properties in this area to know what fits and what feels forced.
Materials are sourced from suppliers we’ve used for years—the ones that stand behind their products when something goes wrong. Countertops that resist staining. Cabinets built to last more than five years. Tile that won’t crack the first time something heavy gets dropped.
And everything comes with warranty coverage, so you’re protected long after we finish. Most kitchen remodeling contractors in the area offer 30 days. We offer more because we’re not worried about our work falling apart.
Most kitchen remodels in Alamo Heights run between $20,000 and $65,000 depending on the size of your kitchen and what you’re changing. A minor remodel—new countertops, cabinet refacing, updated fixtures—sits on the lower end. A full gut renovation with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and layout changes pushes toward the higher end.
The median spend for major kitchen remodeling projects nationally is $60,000, and Alamo Heights tends to track slightly above that because of the quality expectations in this market. Homeowners here aren’t looking for builder-grade materials. They want finishes that match the character and value of their property.
We give you a fixed-price estimate upfront so you know exactly what you’re spending before work starts. That price doesn’t change unless you decide to add something new mid-project. No budget creep. No surprise invoices at the end.
Most kitchen renovations take six to eight weeks once construction starts. That timeline assumes we’re doing a full remodel—demo, plumbing and electrical updates, new cabinets, countertops, tile, and fixtures.
Smaller projects move faster. If you’re keeping the same layout and just swapping finishes, you’re looking at three to four weeks. Larger projects with structural changes or custom millwork can stretch to ten weeks.
The timeline also depends on how quickly you make decisions. We map out every choice you need to make upfront—tile, paint colors, hardware, lighting—so you’re not holding up the project because you haven’t picked a backsplash. The faster you decide, the faster we finish. But we’re not rushing you through choices you’ll regret later. We’d rather you take an extra week to get it right than spend the next decade wishing you’d picked something else.
No, you don’t need to move out. Most of our clients stay in their homes during the remodel. It’s not always comfortable—you’ll lose access to your kitchen for several weeks—but it’s manageable.
We set up a temporary kitchenette in another room if you want one. Microwave, coffee maker, mini fridge. Enough to get you through breakfast and simple meals without driving to a restaurant every day.
The hardest part is the noise and dust during demo and construction. We clean up daily and seal off the work area as much as possible, but some dust still gets through. If you’ve got young kids or you’re working from home and need quiet, you might want to stay elsewhere for the first week when demo happens. After that, it’s mostly just inconvenient, not unbearable.
Yes, but how much depends on what you’re starting with and what you’re changing. Kitchen remodels nationally deliver an average ROI of 31.7% for major renovations and 85.7% for minor updates. In Alamo Heights, where property values are higher and buyers expect updated kitchens, you’re likely to see stronger returns.
If your kitchen is outdated—original cabinets from the ’80s, laminate countertops, old appliances—a remodel brings your home in line with market expectations. Buyers in this area won’t pay top dollar for a house that needs immediate work. They’ll either pass or negotiate your asking price down to cover the renovation cost themselves.
If your kitchen is already functional but you’re upgrading finishes, you’re improving your home’s appeal more than its appraised value. You’ll sell faster and attract better offers, but you won’t recoup every dollar you spend on luxury upgrades. That’s fine if you’re planning to stay in the home and enjoy the space. It’s less ideal if you’re flipping the property in a year.
Start by checking how long they’ve been working in the area. A kitchen remodeling company with decades of local projects knows the building codes, the inspectors, and what materials hold up in this climate. They’ve also built a reputation they can’t afford to lose by doing shoddy work.
Ask for a fixed-price estimate, not a ballpark guess. If a contractor won’t commit to a number in writing, they’re leaving the door open to inflate costs later. You should know exactly what you’re paying before work starts.
Make sure they’re licensed and insured. Every person working on your kitchen should carry proper licensing for their trade—plumbing, electrical, tile. If something goes wrong and they’re not insured, you’re liable. That’s not a risk worth taking to save a few hundred dollars.
Check references from recent projects in Alamo Heights or nearby neighborhoods. Talk to homeowners who’ve actually worked with them. Ask about communication, timelines, and whether the final result matched what was promised. If the contractor won’t give you references, that tells you something.
Open layouts are still the biggest request we get. Homeowners want to remove the wall between the kitchen and living area so the space feels larger and more connected. That works well in Alamo Heights homes where entertaining is part of the lifestyle.
Green and blue are trending hard for cabinetry and accent colors. Seventy-six percent of design professionals identified green as the most popular color in 2025, with blue close behind. It’s a shift away from the all-white kitchens that dominated for the last decade.
Larger islands with seating are standard now. Families want a spot where kids can do homework while dinner’s being prepped, or where guests can sit with a drink during parties. If your current island is too small or nonexistent, adding one is usually the first thing we discuss.
High-end appliances and smart technology are becoming expected, not optional. Homeowners in this market want induction cooktops, built-in coffee systems, and touchless faucets. These aren’t just luxury upgrades—they’re features buyers expect when they’re paying Alamo Heights prices.
