Azure Ln., Addison
Dated Granite to White Quartz
BeforeAfterKitchen updates before selling
Start With the Room Buyers Judge First
The easy move on Azure Ln. would have been to list it as it was. The kitchen had dated granite and the original layout, and it is a room buyers judge in the first five minutes. Instead, every dollar of the $135,000 whole-project total went into rooms buyers pay for, the new kitchen included.
Not every Addison kitchen needs that scope. Azure Ln. earned it because the comps supported the finished price. In the walkthrough we decide what your kitchen needs:
- Keep the cabinets when the boxes are sound and only the style is dated
- Replace them when they are worn, the layout wastes the room, or the neighborhood expects new
- Appliances where the old ones date the room
- Flooring that carries the kitchen into the living space
Your dedicated designer selects every finish before work starts, for the buyers in your local market.

What the town requires
Permits and Inspections in Addison
What the Town of Addison publishes, in plain language:
- Remodeling needs a permit, finish work does not. Addison requires permits for building, remodeling, or enlarging a home. Its residential code exempts painting, wallpapering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets, countertops, and similar finish work.
- The town's permit list. It includes electrical work, apart from repairs such as replacing switches and plugs, along with plumbing work and replacing or adding a water heater. Removing or adding a wall, or enlarging a window or door opening, needs a permit too.
- Registered contractors. The town requires every contractor working in Addison to register with it before a project starts.
- Inspections. They are requested through the town's Citizen Self Service portal or its 24-hour request line, and results post to the portal.
- Code and HOA. Addison has adopted the 2024 International Residential Code, with local amendments, and asks homeowners to check with their homeowners association for added requirements from deed restrictions and covenants.
Who handles it: when the work needs a permit, we pull it.

Kitchens Inside Whole-House Scopes
Each of these kitchens was part of a larger pre-sale renovation, so the figure shown is the whole-project total, not the kitchen alone.

Kitchen questions
Before You Remodel an Addison Kitchen
Straight answers from your local experts. All questions.
Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen in Addison?
It depends on the work. Addison's residential code exempts painting, tiling, cabinets, countertops, and similar finish work. The town's permit list includes electrical work beyond repairs such as replacing switches and plugs, plumbing work, replacing or adding a water heater, and removing or adding a wall. When the work needs a permit, we pull it. See the town's Residential Projects page.
How do kitchen inspections work in Addison?
They are requested through the town's Citizen Self Service portal or its 24-hour request line. A portal request made before 7:00 a.m. is inspected the same business day, and a request-line call before 3:00 p.m. the next business day. Any plumbing, electrical, or HVAC subcontractor must be validated onto the permit before inspections are requested.
What does a kitchen remodel cost in Addison?
It depends on the scope the comparable homes call for. Azure Ln., our Addison project, was a $135,000 whole-project total: a new kitchen, both bathrooms, flooring, paint, and lighting. It was originally priced at $750,000 and sold for $1.1 million. Biscayne in Frisco, a lighter scope, was $60,000. The walkthrough and itemized estimate are free.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Addison?
Plan on three to six weeks for a cosmetic kitchen update and eight to twelve for a full remodel with new cabinetry. Your schedule is set before work starts. Haven Pl. in Allen, with painted cabinets and new counters and floors, was a three-week whole-house project.
Should I keep my kitchen cabinets or replace them before selling in Addison?
Keep them when the boxes are sound and only the style is dated, and change the counters, backsplash, and lighting around them. Replace them when they are worn, the layout wastes the room, or the neighborhood expects new. Addison's code exempts cabinet and countertop work on its own from a permit. The walkthrough settles it.
Which Addison neighborhoods do you work in?
We work across Addison, which is part of our service area. The town's list of neighborhood groups includes Addison Place, Oaks North, Towne Lake, and Addison Timbers, and its permit rules apply in each, though your HOA may add its own. See renovation in Addison for more on the local market.
