Kitchen Remodeling in Austin, TX

Kitchen remodeling is a sequencing problem before it is a design problem — cabinets cannot template until walls are set, and countertops cannot be cut until boxes are shimmed and leveled.

Kitchen Remodeling Projects in Austin

Kitchen remodels in Austin run $12,400–$31,200 for standard through expanded scopes — a Barton Hills galley kitchen cabinet refresh and tile backsplash is a different project than a Windsor Park full gut with quartz countertops, LVP flooring, and a dining room threshold tie-in. Scope and sequencing are confirmed at the address.

Cabinet & Backsplash Package

Cabinet install, tile backsplash, crown molding, Barton Hills

A 1969 Barton Hills home near the Hike-and-Bike trailhead — owners replaced all cabinetry and added a subway tile backsplash and crown to the ceiling. We installed 16 Fabuwood semi-custom cabinets, shimmed across a ½" floor slope with GRK shim stacks, set MSI backsplash tile in MAPEI thin-set with Schluter metal edge trim, ran crown molding, and staged for quartz countertop template.

Cabinet Refresh & Countertop Coordination

Semi-custom cabinet upgrade and quartz coordination, Oak Hill

A Circle C Ranch–adjacent Oak Hill home — same kitchen footprint, all-new cabinets and countertops. We set 12 Fabuwood Shaker-style boxes, shimmed to a 3/8" slope in the tile floor with GRK shim stacks, installed Amerock bar pulls throughout, and coordinated the MSI Caesarstone quartz countertop template with the fabricator for a confirmed cut date.

Our Services

Related Installation Services in Austin

Kitchen remodeling coordinates closely with cabinet installation, tile, painting, flooring, and trim trades. These are the services most often sequenced as part of an Austin kitchen renovation scope.

Cabinet Installation

Cabinet installation is the structural anchor of every kitchen remodel. Fabuwood semi-custom and prefab box lines get shimmed with GRK stacks, leveled with a Bosch laser, and crown-tied to the ceiling before countertop template is called. The cabinet set date drives every other trade.

View Cabinets

Tile Installation

Backsplash tile goes in after cabinets are set and before countertops are templated. We set MSI and Daltile field tile in MAPEI thin-set with Schluter metal edge trim at every exposed edge — no raw cut tile visible at the countertop line in Windsor Park or Barton Hills kitchens.

View Tile

Painting Services

After cabinet doors are hung and backsplash grout cures, Sherwin-Williams Emerald closes out the kitchen scope. Eggshell on walls, semi-gloss on ceiling perimeter — the right sheen separation keeps Oak Hill and Windsor Park kitchens looking intentional rather than like a spec house finish.

Flooring Installation

Kitchen flooring ties into the dining room at the transition threshold. We install Roberts underlayment and Lifeproof LVP, then set a Zamma color-matched reducer so the kitchen and dining floor elevations meet cleanly. This junction is critical in Oak Hill homes with partial slab elevation variation.

View Flooring

Trim & Baseboard Installation

Crown molding to the cabinet tops and fresh baseboard in the adjacent dining room prevent the renovation from stopping at the kitchen doorway. MDF crown coped at every inside corner and 3.5" baseboard throughout keep the scope looking complete from the Barton Hills hike-and-bike entry to the back of the house.

Common Questions

FAQs About Austin Kitchen Remodeling

What is the correct trade sequence for an Austin kitchen remodel?
Demo first. Then drywall, flooring, cabinets, countertop template, backsplash tile, trim. Reversing this creates rework — base cabinets cannot be shimmed correctly on unfinished subfloor, and backsplash tile cannot align to a countertop height that has not been established. The sequence is non-negotiable.
No — countertop fabrication is a separate trade. We stage the cabinet set so your fabricator can template on a confirmed date with all boxes shimmed, leveled, and fillers in place. MSI Caesarstone quartz is the most common countertop choice on Windsor Park and Oak Hill renovation projects we coordinate with.
We shim base cabinets to level across whatever floor slope exists. A ½" drop across a 10-foot kitchen run is typical in older Barton Hills and Allandale homes. GRK shim stacks bring the run level; the toekick covers the stack at the base so nothing shows in the finished product.
Yes. We stage demo, drywall, and cabinet set on a compressed schedule so the kitchen is functional within 7–10 days for a standard scope. For a full gut in Windsor Park, we confirm an alternative cooking setup with the owners before demo starts so the schedule is understood on both sides.
Cabinet installation, crown molding, hardware, backsplash tile, flooring tie-ins, and finish trim. Not included: electrical panel work, plumbing rough-ins, appliance installation beyond positioning support, and countertop fabrication. We coordinate timing and sequencing with all adjacent trades.
