The typical pre-remodel kitchen has dead corners, shallow storage, weak task lighting, and finishes chosen in separate decades.

Service — Kitchen
Drawn before a cabinet is ordered.
The kitchen is the room we spend the most time in and the one most often remodeled badly. Our approach starts with a single rule: nothing is ordered until every cabinet is drawn, measured on site, and reviewed in a full-size mock-up. Not a rendering. Not an estimate. A drawing.
We do not subcontract the millwork. Our cabinetmakers work alongside our tile setters and plumbers — the same crew, same schedule, no handoffs. When the countertop scribe meets a cabinet face, the same person cut both. That precision does not happen by accident.
Kitchen concerns
A kitchen remodel should solve the daily friction, not just replace the finishes.
Houston homeowners usually call when the kitchen has stopped supporting the house: the island is the wrong size, the pantry is shallow, the lighting is flat, or the cabinet layout makes every morning feel crowded.
We start with how the kitchen is used, then move into cabinet drawings, appliance clearances, stone selection, tile layout, lighting, ventilation, and the construction sequence that gets the room built without guesswork.
Kitchen transformation
From crowded work zone to the room that carries the home.
A finished Nova kitchen feels measured: better prep space, calmer storage, durable counters, integrated lighting, and cabinetry that looks like it belongs to the architecture.
- A more functional cooking and gathering layout
- Custom storage planned around real use
- Finishes that feel refined without feeling delicate
How we approach it
Three things that set this work apart.
Not every remodeler thinks this way. These are the commitments that separate a careful project from a forgettable one.
- 01
Every cabinet drawn before the order.
Shop drawings produced from on-site measurements, not plans. Door swings, drawer pull heights, toe kicks — all verified in person before a single panel is cut.
- 02
Materials sourced, not specified.
Stone slabs are selected in person at the yard. Oak is kiln-dried and acclimated on site for two weeks before milling. Brass hardware is unlacquered and chosen to patinate honestly.
- 03
No subcontractors for finish work.
Cabinetry, tile, and countertop installation are all performed by our in-house crew. No handoffs between trades that have never met. The seam quality shows it.
Cabinetry, stone, tile
The best kitchens are built in the details homeowners touch every day.
Door swings, drawer stacks, appliance panels, crown returns, slab overhangs, tile terminations, and lighting temperature all matter because the kitchen is used constantly.
Shop-drawn cabinetry
Cabinet elevations are reviewed before production so storage, proportions, and clearances are clear.
Counter and backsplash coordination
Stone slabs, edge profiles, outlets, and backsplash heights are planned together to avoid awkward field decisions.
Lighting that works
Task, ambient, and accent lighting are layered so the room looks warm at night and functions properly during prep.
07 — ProcessFour phases.
Four phases.
Sixteen months, on average.
One crew per project, start to finish. The same people who frame your kitchen are the ones who set the tile and hang the cabinets. No handoffs. No strangers in month seven.

Full plan sets and shop drawings — every cabinet measured on site, every joint specified on paper. Nothing goes to production without a drawing.
Months 2–4

Our in-house crew handles framing, cabinetry, tile, and finish work. Same people, start to finish. No handoffs, no surprises.
Months 4–14

Sign
We sign the inside of a drawer face when we leave. Initials, date, and a number you can call for the rest of the house's life.

Houston homes
Built for the realities of Houston living.
Interior work in Houston has to account for high humidity, busy family schedules, slab-on-grade conditions, and a wide mix of home ages from Heights bungalows to newer west-side construction.

Consultation
A measured conversation before a measured scope.
We start by understanding the room, the frustrations, the desired finish level, and the constraints. From there, Nova can recommend the right scope instead of forcing a package onto the house.
- Walk the room and document concerns
- Discuss material direction and timeline
- Define a realistic scope before pricing
