Carrollton homes from the 1970s to the 1990s

Much of Carrollton's housing dates from the 1970s through the 1990s. Kitchens from those years often have oak cabinets, a soffit above the uppers and laminate or tile counters. Baths usually have a tub and shower combo and a small vanity.

Carrollton also spans more than one county, so we look up the details for your address rather than guess at records or rules.

Opening up older layouts

Kitchens from this era are often closed off from the next room, and some owners want a wider opening or a pass-through. If the wall is load-bearing, it needs an engineer, and we'll flag that early.

A lot of the time, though, the better move is to leave the walls alone and fix what's inside: take out the soffit, put in taller cabinets, upgrade the lighting and replace the floor.

We line up the cabinet, tile, plumbing and electrical trade partners so each step follows the last.

Planning around your Carrollton home

Soffits with surprises

Some soffits are empty. Others hide ducts, wires or pipes, and a duct inside changes the scope and the cost. We check before we price.

Oak cabinets in good shape

Solid oak boxes can last a long time. If the layout works, new doors, counters and hardware may be enough. If it doesn't, we'll explain why replacing them might serve you better.

Aging baths

Baths from this era may have older tile, tubs and plumbing. Water damage can hide behind tile, so we plan for what might turn up when the walls come open.

Kitchen remodeling in Carrollton: questions

Can I remove the soffit in my Carrollton kitchen?

Often. First we find out what's in it, since some soffits hold ducts, wires or pipes. If it's empty, removal is simple. If there's a duct, we either reroute it or keep the box. You'll know which before you decide.

Is it worth painting oak cabinets?

It can be, if the boxes are solid and you like the layout. Paint costs less than replacement, but it won't add storage or fix an awkward design. If you want better drawers or a new layout, new cabinets may be worth the extra.

How do I update a 1980s bathroom in Carrollton?

Start by checking the tub, tile and plumbing. Then plan the vanity, floor, lighting and shower or tub surround. Older baths can hide water damage, so we build some room for that into the plan, and the written scope shows what's included before work starts.
