What We Build
Opening Up the Dallas Kitchen
Most Dallas homes built before the 2000s have a kitchen tucked behind walls. Opening it up reshapes how the room actually gets used, where guests stand, how light moves through the back half of the house, and how meals come together for more than one cook.
Existing conditions get assessed first, including joist direction, slab access, duct routing, and which wall is actually carrying load. By the time demo starts you already have a clear price, a written schedule, fixture and material selections, and drawings the framers can build from.

What's Included
Load-Bearing Wall Engineering
Most Dallas homes built before 2005 have a wall between the kitchen and the living area that's carrying load. Removing it means a stamped structural drawing, a permit, and a steel or LVL beam sized for what comes down on it. Engineering happens during design so the framing schedule lines up with the materials on order.
Beam Installs and Column Work
The beam that replaces the removed wall has to land in the framing without cutting into ceiling height more than the design can absorb. We coordinate the structural pocket, the temporary shoring during install, and any column work where the load needs to transfer down to the slab.
Sight-Line Planning
What you see from the range, the sink, the island, and the entry to the room all get drafted at design. Each sight line gets confirmed against the rest of the floor plan so the finished kitchen reads as part of the larger living space the family already uses.
Plumbing and Electrical Reroutes
Opening the kitchen usually moves the sink, the cooktop, or the dishwasher to a new spot. Plumbing reroutes, gas drops, electrical home runs, and venting all get re-planned and re-permitted as part of the project, with pressure tests and inspections before drywall closes them up.
Floor Plan Integration
Flooring transitions from kitchen to living area need to land cleanly without a threshold strip that reads as an afterthought. We extend the existing flooring (or the new selection) across the opening so the floor reads as one continuous surface from cooking to gathering space.
Cabinet Layout Around the Opening
Cabinets that worked against a wall look different when half the room can see them. Upper cabinet runs get rebalanced for sight lines, vent hoods get sized for the new room volume, and back-of-island cabinetry gets specified so the island reads cleanly from the living side too.
How We Work
The Open-Concept Build Process
Four stages, fully transparent. No surprise change orders, no mystery line items.
- 01
Consultation
We walk the space, listen to how you cook and gather, and scope which walls are actually doing structural work so the conversation stays grounded in what the house can do.
- 02
Design & Clear Pricing
Stamped structural drawings, beam specs, material selections, and a line-item budget all get locked in writing before a single demo day.
- 03
Build
In-house crews handle structural, plumbing, electrical, and finish work in sequence. Weekly walk-throughs keep the schedule honest.
- 04
Walkthrough & Warranty
Final punch list signed off together. 1 year on all work, 2 years on systems, 5 years on structural, written into every contract.

Open-Concept Kitchen Questions, Answered
What does an open-concept kitchen remodel involve?
Removing one or more walls between the kitchen and the rest of the house, with the structural engineering, beam install, and finish work needed to hide that change. Cabinet, plumbing, electrical, and flooring layouts get re-planned around the new sight lines.
How long does an open-concept kitchen remodel take?
Most projects run 8 to 14 weeks once demo starts. Permits and design typically run another 4 to 8 weeks before that. You'll have a written schedule before construction begins.
How much does it cost to open up a kitchen in Dallas?
Adding structural and reroute work to a standard kitchen remodel typically adds $15K to $40K on top of base kitchen scope, depending on what the wall is carrying and how far plumbing and electrical have to move. Our Dallas kitchen cost guide has the full breakdown.
Can every wall be opened up?
Most can. Load-bearing walls need a beam; non-load-bearing walls just need careful demolition. Walls carrying plumbing stacks or major HVAC runs take more planning. We assess at design and tell you what's possible before pricing the work.
Do you handle permits and structural review?
Yes. Dallas requires permitted structural changes to be drawn and stamped by a Texas-licensed engineer. We coordinate the engineering, pull the permit, and walk inspectors through each stage.
