The kitchen is usually the room that gets used hardest and outdated fastest — cabinets that don’t fit how you actually cook, a layout that boxes out a second person, or finishes that were trendy fifteen years ago. 188 CONSTRUCTION plans and builds kitchen remodels in Houston, from a cabinet and countertop refresh to a full layout change that opens the kitchen up to the rest of the home.
188 CONSTRUCTION is licensed and insured. Our project team is supported by an engineering professional with a master’s-level background, and appropriately licensed trade professionals handle electrical, plumbing and gas work as Texas law requires.

Why Kitchens Need Their Own Plan
A kitchen concentrates more trades in a small footprint than almost any other room — plumbing, gas, electrical and ventilation all converge in the same 150–300 square feet, often on both existing and new lines at once. Moving a sink six feet or adding an island with its own outlets isn’t just a cabinetry decision, it’s a plumbing and electrical one too. We map out where every line needs to go before cabinets or countertops are ordered, so the trade work and the finish work aren’t fighting each other mid-project.
Why Houston Homeowners Choose 188 CONSTRUCTION for a Kitchen Remodel
- One point of contact coordinating cabinetry, countertops, plumbing and electrical together instead of separately
- A written scope that accounts for what’s behind the cabinets and under the floor, not just what’s on the surface
- Trade professionals licensed for the plumbing, electrical and gas work a kitchen actually requires
- Realistic sequencing — most kitchens are unusable for part of the project, and we’ll tell you which part
- Straight answers about what drives cost: layout changes cost more than a surface refresh, and we’ll say so upfront
Our Process
- Consultation — We talk through what isn’t working in the current kitchen, your budget range and your timeline.
- Site Visit — We assess existing plumbing, electrical and structural conditions before pricing anything.
- Scope and Estimate — Layout, cabinetry, countertops, trade work and pricing go into a written scope.
- Design and Permits — Drawings and permits are coordinated where the scope requires them (most layout changes and new gas or electrical circuits do).
- Construction — Demo, rough-in trade work, cabinetry and finishes are sequenced with regular check-ins.
- Final Walkthrough — We review the finished kitchen together and close out any remaining items.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep cooking at home during the remodel? For a light refresh (cabinet refacing, countertops), often yes with some disruption. For a full remodel involving plumbing and electrical rework, the kitchen is typically not usable for a stretch of the project — we’ll give you a realistic window once the scope is set.
Do I need a permit to remodel my kitchen? It depends on scope. Cosmetic work (paint, cabinet fronts, countertops with no layout change) usually doesn’t require one. Moving plumbing, adding electrical circuits, or changing gas lines generally does — we’ll confirm what applies to your project.
Can you move my sink or add an island? Yes — this is common, but it means relocating supply and drain lines, which we plan for early since it affects both cost and how the floor and cabinets are sequenced.
How long does a full kitchen remodel take? Timing depends on scope, cabinetry lead times (often the longest wait) and permitting. We’ll give you a realistic schedule once materials are selected and the scope is finalized.
