AfterCabinets & Countertops in Austin, TX
Cabinet and countertop work in Austin typically costs between $8,000 and $30,000 for a full kitchen, depending on whether you’re refacing existing boxes or replacing everything down to the studs. At Mason Remodeling Co Austin, we start every project with a written price before any work begins, so you know the number before you commit. Call (903) 623-1966 to talk through what your kitchen needs and what it will cost.
We’ve been installing cabinets and countertops across Austin since 2004 as part of the home remodeling services we provide through the Threshold Group family. Cabinets and countertops sit at the center of almost every Kitchen Remodeling in Austin project we take on. The cabinets carry the weight of daily use, and the countertop surface absorbs everything from hot pans to spilled coffee. When either one fails, the whole kitchen stops working the way it should.
Isaac Pruett leads our Austin crew, and every technician who walks through your door does so under The Threshold Standard: background-checked, identity-verified, and introduced to you by name and photo before the visit. You’ll see a photo ID badge when we arrive. No exceptions, no surprises.
When You Need Cabinets & Countertops
Some kitchen problems are obvious the moment you see them. Others build slowly until the frustration finally pushes you to call. Here are the signs we see most often in Austin homes:
- Drawers that stick, sag, or won’t close square. Humidity swings in Austin, especially through the long summer months, cause wood to swell and shift. If your drawers have to be shoved or lifted to close, the cabinet boxes or slides are failing.
- Water damage around the sink or dishwasher. Particleboard cabinets soak up moisture fast, and once they swell, they don’t recover. In older Austin neighborhoods like Hyde Park or Brentwood, we often find original 1960s and 1970s cabinets that have slowly absorbed decades of leaks.
- Laminate countertops that are peeling, burned, or stained through. Austin’s hard water and bright sun accelerate wear on older laminate surfaces. Once the top layer separates, the particleboard core underneath starts absorbing liquid and growing mold.
- Soft spots or cracks in your countertop. Natural stone and quartz shouldn’t flex. If you press down and feel movement, the substrate is compromised and the surface will eventually crack through.
- Cabinet doors that hang crooked or won’t stay aligned. Hinges wear out, but if adjusting them doesn’t fix the issue, the cabinet face frame itself is twisted and the door will never sit right without replacing the cabinet.
- You’re planning to sell and the kitchen is the weak spot. Austin buyers notice kitchens first. A dated kitchen with worn cabinets and tired counters drags down offers faster than almost any other room in the house.
If any of these sound familiar, call (903) 623-1966. We’ll tell you honestly whether you need a repair or a replacement, and what each path costs in writing before you decide.
Our Cabinets & Countertops Process
We follow the same process on every cabinet and countertop job, whether it’s a small guest bath vanity or a full kitchen replacement. You’ll always know who is coming, what they’ll do, and what you’ll pay before the first tool comes off the truck.
- Initial conversation and site visit. You call, a live person answers (24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays), and we schedule a visit. Isaac Pruett or one of our Austin project leads walks the space with you, takes measurements, and asks about how you actually use the kitchen.
- Written price before any work starts. After the site visit, we deliver a written price. Not a verbal estimate. Not a range that might grow. A fixed number on paper, itemized so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. This is standard on every Mason Remodeling project, never an upgrade or a favor.
- Material selection and ordering. We carry specification-grade lines like Wellborn and KraftMaid for cabinetry and Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone for surfaces. We’ll walk you through what’s in stock, what’s special order, and what the real lead times are for each. Austin suppliers vary, and we’ll tell you the truth about timing before you commit.
- Demolition and prep. The crew arrives in marked uniforms, shows photo ID badges at the door, and protects your floors and adjacent rooms before any demo begins. We contain dust, bag debris, and haul everything away.
- Installation and finishing. Cabinets are set, leveled, and shimmed properly. Countertops are templated and installed with joints sealed correctly. We don’t rush the details that matter: drawer alignment, soft-close mechanisms, sink cutouts, and backsplash transitions.
- Walkthrough and written guarantee. Before we leave, we walk the project with you and note anything that needs adjustment. Every job is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work is not right within one year of the completion date, we make it right at no cost to you.
Cabinets & Countertops Pricing in Austin
Cabinet and countertop pricing in Austin runs from roughly $8,000 on the low end for a modest kitchen with stock cabinets and laminate counters, up to $30,000 or more for a larger kitchen with custom cabinetry and quartz or natural stone. The average Austin kitchen we see lands between $15,000 and $22,000. Here’s how that breaks down:
| Scope of Work | Typical Austin Range |
|---|---|
| Cabinet refacing (existing boxes, new doors and drawer fronts) | $4,500 – $9,000 |
| Stock cabinets, 10×10 kitchen, full replacement | $5,000 – $8,000 |
| Semi-custom cabinets, 10×10 kitchen | $8,000 – $14,000 |
| Custom cabinets, full kitchen | $14,000 – $25,000+ |
| Laminate countertops (12 linear feet) | $1,200 – $2,400 |
| Quartz countertops (12 linear feet) | $3,000 – $5,500 |
| Granite countertops (12 linear feet) | $2,800 – $5,000 |
| Full kitchen: semi-custom cabinets + quartz counters | $15,000 – $22,000 |
Several factors move the price up or down. Cabinet construction matters: plywood boxes cost more than particleboard but last decades longer. Door style and finish affect the price, as does the hardware you choose. For countertops, the material is the biggest variable. Quartz runs less than many natural stones and resists staining without sealing, which is why so many Austin homeowners choose it. Granite and marble vary widely by slab availability.
One thing that doesn’t change: the price you’re quoted is the price you pay. If something on the job shifts mid-project, we tell you in writing before it changes the total. Call (903) 623-1966 for a free estimate on your specific kitchen. We’ll give you real numbers, not a vague ballpark.
FAQs – Cabinets & Countertops
Is it cheaper to reface or replace cabinets?
Refacing typically costs 40% to 60% less than a full replacement, but it only makes sense if the cabinet boxes are structurally sound. If the boxes are water-damaged, sagging, or built from failing particleboard, refacing is throwing good money at a bad frame. In Austin homes where the original cabinets are solid plywood, refacing works well. In homes with 1990s particleboard cabinets, replacement is usually the better long-term answer. Call (903) 623-1966 and we’ll tell you which path fits your kitchen.
How long does cabinet and countertop installation take in Austin?
Most full kitchen replacements take 2 to 4 weeks from the day we start demolition, depending on countertop fabrication time. Stock cabinets speed things up, while custom orders add 4 to 8 weeks on the front end just for the cabinets to arrive. The countertop fabrication schedule, especially for quartz or stone, usually controls the finish date. We’ll give you a written timeline before work starts, and we’ll tell you if any Austin supplier delays affect it.
What countertop material is best for Austin’s climate?
Quartz holds up best in Austin’s heat and hard water. It’s non-porous, so it doesn’t absorb water stains the way marble or limestone can, and it doesn’t need resealing like granite or concrete. Austin’s sun is brutal on surfaces near windows, and quartz doesn’t fade or yellow the way some solid-surface materials do. For most of our Austin clients, quartz from Cambria or Silestone is the best balance of durability and appearance.
Can you come today to look at my kitchen?
We come as fast as our schedule allows, and in many cases we can get someone to your Austin home within one to two business days. A live person answers our phone 24/7, so call (903) 623-1966 and we’ll find a time that works. The estimate visit is free, and you’ll have a written price before you make any decision.
Do you handle the countertop installation or just the cabinets?
We handle both, including templating, fabrication coordination, and installation. That means one point of contact for the entire job, one written price, and no finger-pointing between a cabinet crew and a separate countertop fabricator. If a seam fails or a cabinet shifts, you call us and we fix it under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
What’s included in your written guarantee?
Every completed project is covered by a written guarantee with clearly stated terms, including what is covered, what is excluded, and for how long. For cabinets and countertops, the coverage runs 365 days from the completion date. If the work is not right within that year, we make it right at no cost to you. If a repair or installation fails, we return for a second visit at no charge, no dispute process, no conditions.
