What's different in Texas
- Carpenter and trade wages in Texas run below the national median, so labor-heavy remodels cost less than in coastal states.
- Large homes and open layouts are common, so kitchens tend to be bigger than the national average.
- Permit rules vary by city; unincorporated areas often have lighter requirements.
How the Texas figure is calculated
Labor is roughly 55% of an installed kitchen remodel job. The median wage for carpenters in Texas is $48,900 a year, against a national median of $60,580 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025). We apply that 19% below-national difference to the labor share only, which moves the whole installed range by about 11% down. Materials are priced nationally, since they vary far less by state than labor does. Prices inside Texas still vary by metro area and by contractor. Read the full method.
