Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling in Memorial
Custom remodeling for Memorial and the Villages — where the houses deserve craftsmen, not crews-for-hire.
A local team, not a franchise.
Memorial homes are some of the best housing stock in Houston — 1960s and 70s ranches and two-stories on real lots, many still carrying their original kitchens and baths, or a 1990s remodel that has itself aged out. Remodeling here is different from remodeling in a new suburb: the houses have history, quirks, and quality worth respecting, and they punish contractors who treat every job like a production build.
Haven Renovations is a family-owned company built for exactly this work. Marilu has spent more than twenty years in Houston stone and renovation; she designs every project personally, and our own crews build it. One team, accountable from consultation to reveal.
Every agreement includes daily cleanup and signed change orders — non-negotiable in an occupied home — and the process is the Haven Way: consultation, design, in-person selections, build, reveal. Our Google rating is 5.0 across more than fifty reviews.
Kitchens, baths, and whole living spaces.

Layout changes, structural openings, custom cabinetry to the ceiling, stone templated to your actual runs, lighting designed for how the room is used. See recent kitchens →
Bathroom Remodeling
Garden tub to walk-in shower conversions, furniture-grade vanities, natural stone, heated floors — primary baths rebuilt around storage and daily use.
Cabinetry & Countertops
Custom cabinet builds and reworks, and stone selected slab-by-slab — Memorial projects get the same in-person selections as every Haven job.
Remodeling older Houston homes takes a different skill set
In a Memorial-era house, what's behind the wall matters as much as what goes on it. Galvanized supply lines, aluminum wiring vintages, slab conditions, framing that predates modern spans — we assess honestly at the consult, price what we find in writing, and never do the work first and hand you the number afterward. When we open a wall and find something nobody could have known, it becomes a written, priced, approved change order before it becomes work.
The payoff in Memorial is real: these lots and floor plans support kitchens and baths that simply can't be built in a production home. Structural openings to bring the kitchen into the living space, custom cabinetry at furniture grade, natural stone chosen slab by slab — built once, built right.

The Haven Way, in Memorial.
01 — Consultation
We meet in your Memorial home and listen first. We measure, talk through what stays and what goes, and leave you with real information — free, nothing to sign.
02 — Design
Marilu draws the space for your house — down to the drawer. You see the design before you commit to anything.
03 — Selections
Stone, wood, and hardware chosen in person with you — at the slab yard, not from a laminated sheet.
04 — Build
Our own crews, floors protected before demolition, a clean site every evening, and signed change orders before any added work.
05 — Reveal
Furniture back in place, a room-by-room walkthrough, and care instructions in writing. Your kitchen, finished.

Straight answers, before you sign anything.
What does a kitchen remodel cost in Memorial?
Memorial kitchens are typically fully custom — most of our projects here run $70,000–$100,000+, with focused scopes starting around $35,000. Older-home condition items (plumbing, electrical, slab) are assessed at the consult and priced in writing, not discovered on your invoice.
Do you work in the Memorial Villages?
Yes — Bunker Hill, Piney Point, Hedwig and the other Villages each have their own permitting offices, and handling that correctly is part of our job, not yours.
Can you match the character of an older home?
That's the point of custom. Cabinetry is drawn for your rooms, not pulled from a catalog; stone and millwork are selected to suit the house. We've talked clients out of trend-driven designs that would have fought the architecture — and put it in writing why.
My home has original plumbing and wiring. Is that a problem?
It's a factor, not a problem. We assess what the scope actually touches, tell you what should be updated while the walls are open, and price it up front. No mid-project surprises billed as emergencies.
Who actually does the work on my home?
Our own family crews, led by the same team that designed the project. We are not a lead-generation site or a franchise that sells your job to whoever bids — the people who show up are Haven.
What's included in every Haven agreement?
Daily cleanup, floor and appliance protection before demolition starts, and signed change orders — any addition to the scope is priced and approved in writing before the work happens, never billed afterward as a surprise.
More questions? Our full FAQ covers cost drivers, permits, timelines, and what to ask any contractor before you sign.
