University Park, Texas
Kitchen Cabinets & Home Remodeling in University Park, TX
University Park sits just north of Highland Park and is home to Southern Methodist University, which gives the city its name. With its walkable streets, neighborhood schools and strong community life, it is a place where families put down roots — and keep improving the homes they love.
In University Park, we help homeowners modernize kitchens, staircases and family spaces with custom work that fits each home's architecture, whether it is a 1930s traditional or a recently rebuilt house on an original lot.
Homes in University Park
University Park includes original homes from the 1920s through the 1950s, many in traditional, Tudor and cottage styles, along with a large number of newer homes built after older houses were replaced. Older homes tend to have compact kitchens, limited storage and narrow stairs; newer homes usually have open layouts but builder or spec-level finishes. Lots are generally narrow, so homes often grow up rather than out, and storage has to be planned carefully on every floor. In original homes, small closets and a single bathroom upstairs are common, so remodels often focus on adding built-in storage and making existing bathrooms work harder rather than adding square footage. Third-floor bonus rooms and finished attics in newer homes also benefit from custom shelving and window seats.
Designed for how University Park families live
University Park families are busy — school, sports, SMU events and a full social calendar — so we design kitchens and family spaces that keep up. Expect smart storage at every turn: tall pantry cabinets with roll-outs, drawer organizers sized to your dishes, a homework station near the kitchen and a mudroom drop zone for backpacks and sports gear. Because many homes are on narrower lots, we make the most of every wall, including cabinetry that runs to the ceiling and window seats with drawers beneath. For stairs, we often install hardwood treads with iron balusters that open up a narrow stairwell visually. The result is a home that feels calm and organized even on the busiest weekday morning.

University Park remodeling FAQ
Can you add storage to a compact University Park kitchen?
Yes. Custom cabinets that run to the ceiling, deep drawers, roll-out pantries and appliance garages can dramatically increase storage in a smaller kitchen.
Do you build mudroom drop zones?
Yes. Lockers, cubbies, hooks and benches near the back entry keep backpacks, shoes and sports gear organized.
Can you update a narrow staircase?
Yes. Hardwood treads, lighter risers and slim iron balusters can make a narrow stairwell feel more open and finished.
Does University Park require its own permits?
Yes. University Park has its own building inspection department, and we confirm what your project requires before work begins.
Do you work on newly built University Park homes?
Yes. Many newer homes have good layouts but standard finishes, and custom cabinetry, stair upgrades and built-ins make them feel truly custom.
