How much does a kitchen renovation cost in the Austin area?+
Kitchen renovation costs range from $25,000 for cosmetic updates to $75,000-$150,000+ for full custom remodels. We provide detailed, fixed-price estimates after our free consultation so there are no surprises.
Can I stay in my home during the renovation?+
Yes. We set up dust barriers, protect your flooring, and maintain a clean workspace. Most clients set up a temporary kitchen area with a microwave and coffee maker. We always minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Do you handle permits and inspections?+
Absolutely. We manage all permitting, inspections, and code compliance. As a licensed Texas contractor, we ensure every aspect of your renovation meets or exceeds local building codes.
Can you work with my existing layout or do we need to change it?+
Both! We can refresh your existing layout with new finishes and appliances, or completely reconfigure the space. Our 3D visualization process helps you compare options before committing.

We provide a comprehensive warranty on all workmanship. Appliances and materials carry their manufacturers warranties. We stand behind our work and address any concerns promptly.
