AfterFull Kitchen Remodeling in Austin, TX
A full kitchen remodel in Austin typically runs $35,000 to $85,000 for a mid-range project, takes 6 to 10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough, and involves replacing cabinetry, countertops, flooring, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and often the layout itself. Mason Remodeling Co Austin puts a written price in your hand before any tool is unpacked. Call (903) 623-1966 for a free estimate on your kitchen.
We’re part of Threshold Group, and we’ve been doing full kitchen remodels since 2004. This is the most involved work we do under the Kitchen Remodeling umbrella, because it touches every surface, every system, and every daily routine in the room. When it’s done right, you don’t just get a prettier kitchen. You get one that works the way your family actually lives.
When You Need Full Kitchen Remodeling
Some kitchens need a refresh. Others need to be taken down to the studs and rebuilt. Here’s how to tell which one you’re in.
- Your layout fights you every single meal. The fridge door blocks the walkway, the dishwasher opens into the sink cabinet, and two people cannot be in the room at the same time. In older Austin homes, especially 1970s and 1980s builds in neighborhoods like Allandale or Cherrywood, the original kitchen footprint was not designed for how families cook now.
- Cabinet boxes are failing, not just dated. Water damage under the sink, delaminating particleboard, drawers that no longer close square. New doors on busted boxes is like painting over rot. Full replacement is the honest fix.
- You’re doing a whole-home remodel anyway. If walls are opening up for plumbing or electrical work, that is the cheapest possible time to reset the kitchen. You’re already paying for the disruption.
- Your family has changed the way it uses the kitchen. Two cooks instead of one. Kids doing homework at the island. A spouse who works from home and needs the kitchen to be quiet at 2 p.m. A full remodel is how you build for that reality, not patch around it.
- The previous remodel was done wrong. This is more common in Austin than homeowners expect. We regularly open walls and find unpermitted electrical work, missing venting, or tile laid directly on unlevel slab. A full remodel is the only way to make it right.
Our Full Kitchen Remodeling Process
Here’s the order of operations. We follow the same sequence on every full kitchen remodel because it protects your timeline and prevents rework.
- Written estimate and scope. You call (903) 623-1966 and we schedule a walkthrough. We measure, we talk through what you want, and we give you a written price before any work begins. Not a verbal ballpark. A line-item document you can hold us to.
- Design and material selection. We work with specification-grade partners including KraftMaid and Wellborn for cabinetry, and Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone for surfaces. You make selections, and we order everything before demo starts. This prevents the three-week dead zone where your kitchen is a hole in the house and no one knows when the cabinets arrive.
- Permitting and scheduling. We pull any permits required by the City of Austin for electrical, plumbing, and structural changes. We also give you a calendar with the crew’s schedule so you know who will be in your home and on what days.
- Demo and rough-in. We remove the old kitchen to the studs, then run new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC as needed. This is also the point where we inspect framing and subfloor and tell you exactly what we found, good or bad.
- Installation and finish work. Cabinetry, countertops, flooring, backsplash, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and appliances. Our crew works in sequence so each trade has a clean, ready surface to work on.
- Final walkthrough and written guarantee. We walk the kitchen with you, make a punch list if anything needs attention, and hand you a written guarantee with clear terms covering 365 days from the completion date. If it’s not right within that year, we make it right at no cost to you.
Full Kitchen Remodeling Pricing in Austin
Here’s what full kitchen remodels cost in the Austin market right now, based on the scope of work we see across the city.
| Scope | Typical Range | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Budget full remodel | $25,000 – $40,000 | Stock or semi-custom cabinets, laminate or basic quartz countertops, vinyl or basic tile flooring, standard lighting package, no layout changes |
| Mid-range full remodel | $40,000 – $65,000 | Semi-custom cabinets, quartz countertops, engineered wood or tile flooring, upgraded lighting, new sink and faucet, minor layout adjustments |
| High-end full remodel | $65,000 – $120,000+ | Custom or premium cabinetry, stone countertops, hardwood flooring, custom lighting plan, layout reconfiguration, high-end plumbing fixtures from Kohler or Moen, designer backsplash |
What moves the price in Austin, specifically:
- Home age. Austin has a huge stock of 1950s and 1960s ranch homes, along with newer builds. Older homes almost always mean more electrical work to bring circuits up to current code, and often require structural shoring if you’re removing walls.
- Foundation type. Slab foundations are the norm in Austin, and they can mean more demo work for plumbing relocations. That labor is real, and honest contractors price it.
- Material selection. The gap between a basic quartz countertop and a full-height Calacatta slab is thousands of dollars. Cabinet hardware alone can swing a project by $800 to $2,000.
- Scope of layout change. Keeping the sink, range, and fridge in place costs less than moving plumbing and gas lines. That is the single biggest cost driver in any Austin full kitchen remodel.
We give you the written price up front. That is not an upgrade. It is how we do every project, on every job, since our founding in 2004. Call (903) 623-1966 and we’ll come out, measure, and give you a real number.
Who Comes to Your Home
For a full kitchen remodel, you will have crews in your home for weeks, not hours. That makes this question more important than any cabinet color.
Every Mason Remodeling Co Austin crew member goes through what we call the Threshold Standard. That means a background check and identity verification before they ever step on your property. You receive the technician’s name and photo before the visit. When they arrive, they wear a clean marked uniform and carry a photo ID badge they will show you at the door. You’ll never wonder who is walking through your kitchen.
Isaac Pruett leads the Austin team and personally coordinates full kitchen remodels from estimate through final walkthrough. You’ll know exactly who is responsible on any given day, and you’ll have a phone number where a live person answers around the clock, including weekends and holidays.
Materials We Use
A full remodel is only as good as what goes into it. We’ve aligned with brands we know hold up in Austin’s climate, which means heat, humidity swings, and hard water.
For cabinetry, we order through KraftMaid and Wellborn. For countertops, we work with Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone, all of which offer quartz surfaces that stand up to the daily abuse of a busy Texas kitchen. Plumbing fixtures come from Kohler, Moen, Toto, and Grohe, so you’re getting professional-grade components, not big-box budget lines. If your remodel includes exterior work such as a kitchen bump-out or related roof repairs, we also have material partnerships with IKO and Tamko for roofing products that perform in central Texas heat.
FAQs – Full Kitchen Remodeling
How much does a full kitchen remodel cost in Austin?
A full kitchen remodel in Austin typically costs $35,000 to $85,000 for a mid-range project, with smaller budget remodels starting around $25,000 and high-end projects running $120,000 or more. The biggest variable is whether you’re moving plumbing, gas, or electrical. Call (903) 623-1966 for a free written estimate on your specific kitchen.
How long does a full kitchen remodel take?
Most full kitchen remodels in Austin take 6 to 10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. Projects with structural changes, custom cabinetry, or significant plumbing relocation run toward the longer end. We give you a schedule in writing before we start, and we hold to it.
Is it cheaper to remodel a kitchen or replace cabinets only?
Cabinet replacement alone is cheaper in the short term, typically $15,000 to $30,000 in Austin, but if your layout is failing or your electrical and plumbing are dated, you’ll likely pay for that work later anyway. A full remodel addresses every system at once and avoids paying for demolition and disruption twice. Call (903) 623-1966 and we’ll give you an honest recommendation based on what we see.
Do I need a permit for a full kitchen remodel in Austin?
Most full kitchen remodels in Austin require permits for electrical, plumbing, and any structural changes. The City of Austin reviews and inspects that work. Mason Remodeling Co Austin handles permitting as part of the project, and we don’t skip this step. It protects you and the value of your home.
Can you remodel my kitchen while I live in my home?
Yes, most Austin homeowners stay in their homes during a full kitchen remodel, though you’ll be without a functional kitchen for several weeks. We set up a temporary kitchen zone where practical, keep work areas sealed off from the rest of the house, and clean up every day before we leave. If you prefer to be out during the messiest phases, we can plan around that too.
