Kitchens in McLendon-Chisholm, TX
A kitchen is three trades taking turns in one room, and the order they go in decides how the finished space behaves years later. We handle the flooring and the surfaces, and we plan the sequence around the cabinets and counters. Most of what homeowners actually ask us about is the floor, and specifically where it stops. Installed by our own crew across McLendon-Chisholm.

Built for McLendon-Chisholm homes.
McLendon-Chisholm was two places before it was one. McLendon was settled around 1870 on land held by P.A. McLendon, and Chisholm sits on ground the Chisholm brothers bought in 1856. They incorporated together on October 18, 1969 to protect their rural lifestyle through zoning, and it held for a long while: 914 residents in 2000, 3,562 in 2020. Then Sonoma Verde platted 1,095 lots across 550 acres off Via Toscana. We work two kinds of house here, often in the same week, and they need different flooring.
McLendon-Chisholm exists because two settlements decided to stay rural. McLendon and Chisholm incorporated together in 1969 specifically to preserve their large-lot way of living through zoning, and the town held at 914 people in 2000 and 3,562 in 2020, which is slow by Rockwall County standards. The housing that came out of those decades is custom: homes generally ten to forty years old, 2,000 to 4,000-plus square feet, on lots from half an acre to more than two.
Custom houses are not template jobs. Nothing is a standard dimension. Hallways run wide, rooms are out of square, and additions were built onto the original slab years later at a slightly different elevation and often over a different subfloor. We shoot elevations at every doorway before quoting so the transitions get designed in rather than improvised on the last afternoon. The stairs and trim in these houses were built by hand, and a floor that dies into them badly is the thing you will look at for the next twenty years.
Then there is Sonoma Verde. It is a 550-acre master plan platted for 1,095 lots between 7,200 and 20,000 square feet, with Highland, Perry, Bloomfield, CastleRock and Megatel all building in it. Same city, completely different work: fresh slabs, repeating floorplans, and builder-grade carpet upstairs that owners start replacing within a few years. Because the plans repeat, we can usually tell you what is under the carpet before we lift a corner of it.
Access is the other local factor. State Highway 205 and FM 550 are the two spines, with City Hall out at 1371 West FM 550, and many of the acreage properties sit at the end of long private drives. We work out how the material reaches the door before the truck rolls instead of carrying boxes a hundred yards in August. The upside of acreage is space: we can set up a cut station outside and keep the dust out of your house entirely. The city has also set aside 50 acres for its first major park, so expect more traffic on those roads over time.

Kitchens in McLendon-Chisholm, questions
Our house is on two acres at the end of a long private drive. Is that a delivery problem?
No, but we plan for it. We walk the drive during the estimate and decide whether the truck can reach the house or whether we shuttle the last stretch. Acreage properties out here actually make the job cleaner, because there is room to set up a cut station well away from the doors and keep the dust and noise outside the house.
Does a Sonoma Verde house cost less to floor than an older custom home?
The material does not change, but the labor can. Sonoma Verde floorplans repeat, so measuring and layout go quickly and there are few surprises. Older custom homes off FM 550 and Highway 205 have out-of-square rooms, hand-built stairs and additions poured at a different elevation, and all of that takes longer to do properly. We quote each house on what it actually is.
We are building new in Sonoma Verde. Should we use the builder's flooring or yours?
Either works. If you want something past the builder's standard package, it is often cleaner to take the base allowance and have us do the floors after closing. We bring samples to you, offer financing through Synchrony and Wisetack, and our own crew does the install with nobody subcontracted. Call (972) 564-5533 and we will talk through the timing around your closing date.
Should the new floor go under the kitchen cabinets or around them?
If the cabinets are staying, around them, with the toe kick covering the cut. If they are being replaced in the same project, the floor can go down first. What we will not do is run a floating rigid core floor under a cabinet run, because the weight pins the floor and stops it expanding, which shows up as peaking planks out in the open floor a season later.
Will a new floor stop my dishwasher from coming out?
It can, and it is worth checking beforehand. A dishwasher needs roughly thirty-four inches of clear height under the countertop, and running flooring plus underlayment beneath the cabinets reduces that. We measure the existing opening against the finished thickness of whatever you are choosing, and if it is tight we either change the build-up or cut the floor in around the cabinets.
Should the same flooring run into the living room?
In an open-plan house, usually yes. One continuous floor makes the space read larger and keeps transition strips out of the middle of a room where nothing justifies them. It does mean picking a material that satisfies both rooms, which is why plank vinyl and wood-look porcelain are so common in newer Forney and Fate homes.
