Why The Heights Homeowners Choose IAS for Kitchen Remodeling
IAS Boutique Remodeling designs and builds custom kitchens for homeowners throughout The Heights in Houston, TX. The area's early-1900s bungalows and Craftsman homes often have charming but compact, closed-off kitchens, and updating one means balancing modern function — better storage, work flow, and natural light — with the character that makes the home worth preserving. We're comfortable opening up galley layouts, integrating period-appropriate cabinetry and finishes, and handling the structural work so the result feels original to the home rather than added on. As a boutique remodeler we take on a limited number of projects at a time, so your Heights kitchen receives owner-led attention from the first consultation through the final walkthrough, with one accountable point of contact coordinating design and construction together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you remodel kitchens in The Heights?
Yes. IAS Boutique Remodeling takes on kitchen remodels throughout the greater Heights area, including Houston Heights, Woodland Heights, Norhill, Sunset Heights, Brooke Smith, and Shady Acres. If you're not sure whether we cover your street, just ask when you reach out.
Do historic-district rules affect a Heights kitchen remodel?
It depends on the scope. Interior kitchen work generally isn't restricted, but much of The Heights sits within City of Houston historic districts, where changes that affect the exterior — relocating windows, bumping out a wall, or adding on — typically require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission before a permit is issued. We design to those guidelines and handle the submittals when they apply.
What makes IAS different for a Heights kitchen remodel?
We're a boutique remodeler by design — a limited number of projects at a time, direct contact with ownership through every phase, and a kitchen designed specifically for your home and its era. We're fully insured, which protects your project and your property throughout construction.
Can you open up a small, closed-off kitchen in a Heights bungalow?
Yes — it's one of the most common Heights kitchen projects. Older bungalows often have galley or walled-off kitchens that can be opened to the dining and living areas. We handle the structural work carefully so the updated kitchen feels original to the home rather than added on.
