Tupelo's Most Trusted Kitchen Remodeling Contractor — Since 1999

We've been transforming kitchens in Tupelo, Saltillo, Guntown, Verona, and all of Lee County since 1999.

A mid-range kitchen remodel here returns 70–80% at resale, while minor remodels — cabinet refacing plus new quartz countertops — can return over 100% in the Tupelo market.

Custom Kitchen Island Design & Build — Tupelo, MS
A custom kitchen island is the single most requested upgrade among Tupelo homeowners — and for good reason. It adds prep space, seating, storage, and becomes the visual centerpiece of your entire home. We design and build every island custom to your kitchen's exact dimensions and your family's lifestyle.
- Waterfall quartz, granite, butcher block, or marble tops
- Built-in seating for 2–6 people — bar-height or counter-height
- Under-island storage drawers, pull-out shelves, wine racks
- Integrated secondary sink or prep sink options
- Custom pendant lighting over the island designed in 3D first
- Available as part of open-concept conversion or standalone
Farmhouse & Modern Kitchen Overhauls — Tupelo, MS
The farmhouse kitchen aesthetic is perfectly at home in Tupelo — it blends our region's Southern heritage with modern functionality. Think shaker cabinets, apron-front sinks, warm wood tones, and open shelving. We build farmhouse kitchens that feel authentically Southern without sacrificing an inch of practicality.
- Shaker-style cabinet doors in warm white, sage green, or wood tones
- Apron-front (farmhouse) sink in porcelain or fireclay
- Open shelving with reclaimed wood or painted white
- Warm butcher block islands or honed marble countertops
- Subway or handmade-style backsplash tile
- Mixed metals: brushed brass + matte black hardware combinations
Quartz Countertop Installation — Tupelo, MS
Quartz is definitively the best countertop for Tupelo kitchens. With North Mississippi averaging 55–65% humidity year-round, quartz's non-porous surface never absorbs moisture, bacteria, or stains — unlike granite, which requires sealing and still develops micro-fractures in our climate. As Emser Tile partners, we source premium quartz at 20–30% below what you'd pay at retail.
- Premium quartz from $40/sq ft installed — trade pricing advantage
- 100% non-porous — zero sealing required, ever
- Heat-resistant, stain-resistant, scratch-resistant
- 50+ color and pattern options including marble-look quartz
- Waterfall edge, beveled edge, eased edge — custom profiles
- Countertop-only replacement available in 3–5 days
Full Gut Kitchen Renovation — Tupelo, MS
A full gut kitchen renovation takes your Tupelo kitchen from the current state down to the studs and rebuilds it exactly as you've always wanted. New layout, new plumbing, new electrical, new everything — handled completely under one roof by our licensed crew with no subcontractor chaos.
- Complete demolition down to studs — walls, floors, ceiling
- Layout changes including open-concept wall removals
- Plumbing rerouting — sink and appliance relocation
- Electrical panel upgrade if needed — new circuits, outlets, lighting
- All permits handled at no extra charge
- Demo to final walkthrough in 4–6 weeks
Cabinet Refacing & Painting — Tupelo, MS
If your existing cabinet boxes are structurally sound, a full cabinet replacement is overkill. Cabinet refacing replaces the door fronts, drawer faces, and hardware — giving your Tupelo kitchen a completely new look at 40–50% of the cost of full replacement. Paired with new quartz countertops, this is the highest-ROI kitchen upgrade available.
- New door fronts in any style — shaker, flat-front, beadboard
- New drawer faces, pulls, and hinges throughout
- Cabinet painting in any color — factory-grade finish
- Add glass-front upper doors for open display
- Combine with new quartz tops for maximum transformation
- Most refacing projects complete in 5–8 days

Kitchen Remodeling Tupelo MS — What Homeowners Need to Know in 2026
Tupelo's housing market is in a strong seller cycle heading into 2026, with Lee County home values rising steadily along the Highway 78 and Toyota corridor. That means a well-executed kitchen remodel in Tupelo today delivers stronger ROI than it did three years ago. Here's what we tell every Tupelo homeowner who walks through our door:
The Tupelo Housing Stock Reality — And Why It Matters for Your Kitchen
Tupelo's residential neighborhoods fall into three distinct eras: pre-1980 ranch and split-level homes in older neighborhoods like Joyner and Hill Crest; 1985–2005 traditional builds throughout Fairpark and East Tupelo; and post-2010 newer construction in developments off McCullough Blvd and beyond. Each era presents different kitchen remodeling opportunities and challenges. Older homes often have galley-style kitchens perfect for open-concept conversion. Mid-era homes frequently have good bones but dated finishes. Newer homes benefit most from custom island additions and countertop upgrades. We've worked in all three and know exactly which approach maximizes your ROI in each neighborhood.
Can You Stay in Your Tupelo Home During a Kitchen Remodel?
Yes — and most of our Tupelo clients do. We set up a temporary kitchen station (microwave, coffee maker, portable induction cooktop) in an adjacent room. We perform thorough daily cleanup and contain dust with professional-grade plastic sheeting. The heaviest disruption is during the demo phase (typically 1–2 days), after which the kitchen becomes progressively functional again as installation proceeds. For larger projects spanning 6+ weeks, some families choose to stay with relatives during demo week — but for most Tupelo kitchen remodels, staying home is entirely workable.
The 2026 Trend Defining Tupelo Kitchen Remodels: Warm Wood Cabinets
The 2026 Houzz Kitchen Trends Study — surveying 1,780 homeowners — confirmed what we've been seeing in our Tupelo estimates all year: wood-tone cabinets have officially overtaken white for the first time. Nearly 29% of renovating homeowners chose wood tones vs. 28% for white, with medium oak and warm walnut leading. This aligns perfectly with Tupelo's Southern character. The most popular combination we're building right now in Lee County: warm wood lower cabinets paired with off-white shaker uppers, quartz island, and mixed brass-and-matte-black hardware. It's timeless, it's Southern, and it photographs beautifully for resale listings.
Real Reviews from Tupelo Kitchen Clients
"Galvez completely transformed our outdated 90s kitchen into a stunning open-concept modern kitchen. Wall removal, waterfall island, quartz throughout — the works. They finished ahead of schedule and cleaned up every single day. Best kitchen remodeling contractor in Tupelo, period."
"Our farmhouse kitchen remodel exceeded every expectation. The shaker cabinets and apron sink look exactly like our Pinterest inspiration board. Honest pricing — the final bill matched the quote exactly. No surprises. I'd recommend Galvez to every Lee County homeowner."
"Our kitchen feels twice as big after Galvez removed one wall and added the island. Best remodeling advice we ever took. Quick, clean, professional — and the 3D preview they gave us before starting was spot-on. William and his crew are the real deal."
