Cabinets & Countertops in Dallas, TX

Cabinets & Countertops in Dallas, TX

Cabinets and countertops are the two surfaces you touch most in a kitchen. They take the daily abuse of hot pans, wet sponges, sticky fingers, and grocery bags dropped on the edge. When either one fails, the whole kitchen stops working right. A full cabinet and countertop replacement in Dallas typically runs $9,000 to $28,000 depending on material and kitchen size, and most projects we complete take two to four weeks from tear-out to final walkthrough.

At Mason Remodeling Co Dallas, we handle both trades under one roof, which means one written price, one schedule, and one crew accountable for the whole job. No cabinet company blaming the countertop fabricator and no countertop crew shrugging about the cabinet gaps. If you’re considering a larger project, this work often rolls into a full Kitchen Remodeling in Dallas scope, but we also take on cabinet-and-countertop-only jobs when the layout and flooring are staying put. Call (432) 302-8761 and we’ll talk through what you’re seeing.

When You Need Cabinets & Countertops

Most people don’t wake up deciding to replace cabinets on a Tuesday. They live with small problems until one big one forces the call. Here’s what we hear most often from homeowners across Dallas, from Lakewood to Preston Hollow to Bishop Arts:

• Drawer boxes are coming apart at the corners. Stapled particleboard drawers sag under the weight of silverware, and pulled-off drawer fronts are a sign the structure behind them is done.
• Hinges are ripped out of the cabinet face. Once the screw holes strip out, you can’t just tighten them anymore. The door hangs crooked and rubs the frame.
• The countertop seam has opened or the laminate is peeling. In Dallas, the humidity swings between summer and winter make seams move. What started as a hairline crack now catches crumbs and snags cloths.
• Water damage under the sink. A slow drip from a supply line or a disposal leak swells the cabinet floor until it sponges underfoot. By the time you notice, the cabinet base is usually beyond repair.
• You’re tired of working around the layout. Corner cabinets you can’t reach, a peninsula that blocks the fridge door, or a cooktop without landing space on either side. The boxes are fine, but the kitchen works against you.
• You’re selling within a few years. Kitchens in North Dallas neighborhoods with dated oak cabinets and worn Formica sell slower and appraise lower than homes with current surfaces.

You’ll notice several of these are safety or sanitation issues, not just cosmetic ones. A sagging cabinet base under a sink can drop and crack drain pipes. A countertop seam that opens near the cooktop becomes a fire trap for grease. These are the jobs we treat with the most urgency, because delaying them tends to make the repair three times more expensive.

Our Cabinets & Countertops Process

We run every cabinet and countertop job through the same sequence, whether it’s a $9,000 rental-flip refresh or a $28,000 full custom build. Here’s the order, start to finish:

1. Measure and material selection. We come to your home, laser-measure the kitchen, and talk through materials at your table. You’ll see real samples, not a screen. We’ll walk you through the trade’s real terms as we go: a stile is the vertical frame piece on a cabinet face, a rail is the horizontal one, and a mitered edge on a countertop is the 45-degree seam where two pieces join for a clean corner.
2. Written price before any work starts. Once materials and scope are locked, you get a written price covering cabinets, countertops, plumbing disconnect/reconnect, haul-away, and finish work. Not a verbal estimate. A fixed number on paper, itemized so you can see where the money goes. If you want to adjust material grades, the price adjusts before we start, not after.
3. Product ordering and fabrication. We order cabinets through specification-grade partners, including KraftMaid and Wellborn depending on your budget and lead time. Countertops are fabricated from Cambria, Silestone, or Caesarstone slabs, cut to your exact template by the fabricator we’ve used for years.
4. Tear-out and prep. We protect the floors, seal off the kitchen with plastic sheeting, and remove the old boxes and slabs. Every crew member who walks through your door arrives in a clean marked uniform and shows a photo ID badge. You get the technician’s name and photo before the visit, per the Threshold Standard, so there’s no wondering who is at the door.
5. Installation. Cabinets are set first, leveled and shimmed so doors hang true. Countertops are templated or set on top depending on material. Plumbing is reconnected and tested. If there’s any issue with a seam or a cabinet door that won’t stay closed, we fix it before we leave, not on a punch list.
6. Walkthrough and written guarantee. We walk the kitchen with you and hand over the written guarantee, which covers the work for 365 days from the completion date. If anything isn’t right within that year, Mason Remodeling makes it right at no cost to you. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it’s printed on the paperwork, not just said in the sales conversation.

Cabinets & Countertops Pricing in Dallas

You should know the numbers before you call. Here’s what we see across Dallas based on the kitchens we price every week.

Cabinet Pricing in Dallas

Cabinet Grade	Typical Range (10×10 Kitchen)	What You Get
Stock / Semi-Custom (KraftMaid level)	$4,500 – $9,500	Plywood or MDF boxes, full-overlay doors, soft-close hinges, limited finish options
Custom (Wellborn level)	$10,000 – $18,000	Full plywood construction, custom depths, specialty storage, matched wood species and finish
Custom inset / premium	$16,000 – $28,000	Inset doors, furniture-grade finishes, custom millwork to match the rest of the home

Countertop Pricing in Dallas

Countertop Material	Typical Range (Installed, 30 – 40 sq ft)	Notes
Laminate	$1,200 – $2,500	Fastest, lightest, most budget-friendly; seams are visible, edges can chip
Quartz (Cambria, Silestone, Caesarstone)	$3,500 – $6,500	Non-porous, consistent pattern, no sealing needed, most popular in Dallas
Granite	$3,000 – $5,500	Natural stone, unique slabs, needs periodic sealing
Butcher block	$2,000 – $4,000	Warm look, needs oiling, swells if left wet repeatedly

These ranges include demolition and haul-away of your old cabinets and counters, plumbing disconnect and reconnect, and basic finish work. What moves the price up or down: the size of the kitchen, whether walls or floors need repair behind the old cabinets, custom sizes versus stock, and whether your home is in an older Dallas neighborhood where we’re dealing with out-of-square walls and uneven floors. In places like Lakewood and the M Streets, we routinely shim cabinets a half inch or more to level them against 80-year-old plaster walls.

Every quote is fixed and written before tear-out starts. No allowances, no “we’ll see when we open it up” pricing. If we find something unexpected behind the cabinets, you’ll know about it before we spend a dollar more, and the decision is always yours. Estimates are free. Call (432) 302-8761 and we’ll get you numbers in a few days.

How Cabinet and Countertop Materials Hold Up in Dallas

Dallas heat and humidity do specific things to kitchen materials, and if you’ve lived here through a full summer, you already know the basics. What you might not know is how that plays out inside your cabinets and under your countertops.

Humidity and cabinet doors. In Dallas, the air swings from humid to dry within weeks, and that makes wood move. Cabinet doors can warp if they’re not properly sealed on all six sides. Particleboard cores absorb moisture from the air and swell at the edges. We recommend plywood or properly sealed MDF boxes for Dallas kitchens, and we’re specific about this in our quotes. It’s not a preference. It’s a climate decision.

Heat and countertop seams. Quartz and granite don’t care about the heat itself, but the seams do. Countertop material expands and contracts with temperature changes, and in a kitchen that gets direct afternoon sun through a window, the slab can move enough to open a seam over time. We cut and set seams to allow for that movement, using the fabricator’s full-size template, not a paper one.

Water and the sink cabinet. The cabinet under the kitchen sink takes more abuse than any other piece of furniture in your home. We build that cabinet with extra bracing and set the plumbing so the P-trap doesn’t rub the cabinet back on every use. We’ve opened sink bases in Dallas homes and found the floor of the cabinet completely rotted out from a decade of slow condensation drips. A plastic tray under the plumbing costs about $20 at a hardware store and saves a $900 cabinet. We include one on every job we install.

FAQs – Cabinets & Countertops

How much does it cost to replace cabinets and countertops in Dallas?

Most cabinet and countertop replacements in Dallas run between $9,000 and $28,000, with the final number driven by kitchen size, cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether any structural repair is needed behind the old cabinets. Stock cabinets with quartz counters in a standard 10×10 kitchen usually land around $10,000 to $14,000 all-in, while custom inset cabinets with premium quartz can push past $25,000. Call (432) 302-8761 for a free estimate specific to your kitchen.

Is it cheaper to repair cabinets or replace them entirely?

It depends on what failed. A single door hinge strip-out on an otherwise solid cabinet is a $40 fix. A dozen delaminating doors on particleboard boxes from the 1990s is throwing money at a surface that will keep failing. If the boxes are solid and the finish is intact, we’ll say so and repair rather than replace. If the structure is compromised, we’ll tell you that too, and we’ll show you exactly why while we’re standing in your kitchen.

Can you replace countertops without replacing cabinets?

Yes, as long as the cabinet boxes are structurally sound and the layout is staying the same. We template the new countertop to the existing cabinet footprint, remove the old slab, and set the new one without touching the cabinet boxes beyond the top edges. Just know that if the cabinets have water damage or softened corners under the old counter, those problems won’t get better hiding under a new slab. Call us at (432) 302-8761 and we’ll take a look before you commit to anything.

How long does a full cabinet and countertop replacement take in Dallas?

Most kitchens take two to four weeks from tear-out to final walkthrough. Stock and semi-custom cabinets usually ship in one to two weeks, and quartz or granite fabrication adds another one to two weeks once the template is complete. Custom cabinets can stretch the timeline to six weeks or more depending on the finish. We give you a written schedule with the written price, and we’ll tell you if anything shifts before it happens, not after.

Do you handle the plumbing and electrical work too?

Yes, we disconnect and reconnect the sink plumbing, and we coordinate any under-cabinet lighting or outlet work as part of the written price. You don’t need to call a separate plumber or electrician for a standard cabinet and countertop replacement. We handle it under the same guarantee, and every crew member who steps into your home has been background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Standard.

Who We Are

Mason Remodeling Co Dallas has provided general contracting, bathroom remodeling, and Kitchen Remodeling in Dallas since 2004, operating as part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies. Each location is independently owned and operated, and every one holds to the same Threshold Verified standards on every job.

What that means for you, practically:

• You know exactly who is coming. Before any visit, you receive the technician’s name and photo. At the door, they show a photo ID badge and arrive in a clean marked uniform. No subcontracted strangers, no “a guy will come by sometime this week.” The Threshold Standard is the name of this process, and it’s not optional.
• Written price before any work starts. Not a ballpark, not a verbal figure, not a number that grows on the final bill. A fixed, written, itemized price delivered before a single tool is unpacked. Every project, every time, no exceptions.
• Written guarantee on every job. The terms are stated plainly: what is covered, what is excluded, and for how long. For cabinets and countertops, the work is covered for 365 days from the completion date under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something fails within that year, we fix it at no cost to you.
• A live person answers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call (432) 302-8761 at 2 PM on a Tuesday or 2 AM on a Sunday. You’ll talk to a person. No call trees, no voicemail loops, no “our office is currently closed.”

Materials We Use

We pair our cabinet and countertop work with specification-grade materials from manufacturers we’ve been installing for years. For cabinetry, we work with KraftMaid and Wellborn lines depending on the budget and the look you’re after. For countertops, we fabricate from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz slabs, which cover the vast majority of Dallas kitchens we do, plus granite and butcher block for specific requests. We also carry home fixture lines through our remodeling partnership, including Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe, so sinks and faucets match the countertop right out of the box.
