Kitchens in McKinney
McKinney spans more than a century of homes: Victorian and Craftsman houses in the historic district around the downtown square, 1990s and 2000s homes in Stonebridge Ranch, and newer construction in Craig Ranch, Tucker Hill, and the north side of town.
In homes from the 1990s and 2000s, raised-panel doors under honey or cherry stains are common. Historic homes may have original cabinetry or built-ins worth preserving, and newer homes usually have builder-selected finishes.
Refinish or Kitchen Facelift?
In historic homes, refinishing keeps original cabinetry and built-ins that can't be replaced like for like. In 1990s and 2000s homes, a sprayed modern color changes the whole room while the boxes, counters, and tile stay.
When raised-panel doors are the problem, a Kitchen Facelift replaces them with clean shaker or slab doors built by our local cabinetmaker, with the boxes refinished to match, so the kitchen feels newly built.
Not sure which? That's what the consultation is for. See how a Kitchen Facelift works, or read Paint or Replace for an honest comparison.

Working in your home
Historic homes need a lighter touch: original floors, trim, and plaster are covered and protected, and we'll talk through anything fragile before work begins. Older finishes are assessed at the consultation, including how they should be prepared.
Request a consultationQuestions
From McKinney homeowners
Can you refinish original cabinetry in a historic home?
Often, yes. Original cabinetry and built-ins in older homes are usually solid wood and worth keeping. We'll assess their condition and the existing finish at the consultation, and recommend refinishing only where it's the right call.
Can a cherry-stained kitchen be painted a light color?
Yes. Cherry and other dark stains are cleaned, sanded, and primed with a stain-blocking primer so the old color and the wood's tannins don't bleed through, then sprayed in your new color.
Do we have to move out during the work?
No. The work area is sealed off and the rest of the home stays usable. Your proposal gives exact dates, including the days without your kitchen, and our prep guide shows how to set up a simple temporary kitchen.
