Cost & Budget
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Austin?+
Kitchen remodel costs in Austin typically range from $25,000 to $75,000+, depending on the scope. A cosmetic refresh runs on the lower end, while a full gut renovation with custom cabinets and layout changes will be higher. We provide a detailed line-item estimate before any work begins.
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Austin?+
Bathroom remodels in Austin generally range from $15,000 to $40,000+. A standard renovation with new tile, vanity, and fixtures is on the lower end. A full master bath remodel with walk-in shower and custom tile will be higher.
How do your estimates work? Are there hidden fees?+
Our estimates are detailed and line-itemized. You’ll see exactly what you’re paying for — materials, labor, permits, and any other costs. If something changes during the project, we discuss it with you and get approval before proceeding. No surprises.
Timeline & Process
How long does a kitchen remodel take?+
Most kitchen remodels take 6-10 weeks from demolition to completion. A simple cosmetic update can be faster (3-4 weeks), while a major renovation with structural changes may take 10-12 weeks.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?+
A standard bathroom remodel takes 3-6 weeks. More complex projects involving layout changes or plumbing relocation may take longer.
Can I live in my home during the remodel?+
In most cases, yes. We take steps to contain dust, protect your floors and furniture, and minimize disruption. For major whole-home renovations, we’ll discuss the best approach.
What happens if you find unexpected problems?+
If we uncover an issue during construction, we stop, document it, explain your options, and get your approval before proceeding. We never make changes without discussing them with you first.
Garage Conversions & ADUs
Can I convert my garage into a living space in Austin?+
Yes. Austin has specific regulations for garage conversions and ADUs. We’re experienced with Austin’s ADU permitting process and can guide you through the requirements.
Do I need a permit for a garage conversion?+
Yes. Converting a garage to livable space requires building permits from the City of Austin, including electrical, plumbing, and structural inspections. We handle the entire permitting process.
Materials & Quality
Do you use subcontractors?+
For specialized trades like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, we work with trusted subcontractors we’ve partnered with for years. They’re all licensed, insured, and held to the same quality standards. Your project manager coordinates everything.
Can I choose my own materials?+
Absolutely. Some homeowners know exactly what they want. Others want guidance. We’re happy to work either way — we can source materials, accompany you to showrooms, or install materials you’ve selected.
