What “Near Me” Actually Means in Austin
When you type “kitchen remodeling near me” into Google, you’re not really asking for the closest contractor. You’re asking for a contractor who will show up, do the work properly, and not leave you with a half-finished kitchen and a voicemail that never gets returned. That’s the gap Penhallow fills.
We’re a home remodeling company serving Austin homeowners who’ve been burned before. Maybe a contractor ghosted you after collecting a deposit. Maybe the price doubled after the cabinets came out. Maybe the tile cracked six weeks after the final check cleared. Whatever the history, the fix is the same: put everything in writing before the first tool comes off the truck.
Trevor Nash leads Penhallow Remodeling Austin with one overriding rule: if we wouldn’t accept the terms as a homeowner, we don’t ask you to. That means a written price, a written guarantee, and a phone number that a human being actually answers.
Fast, Local Kitchen Remodeling
We schedule kitchen evaluations across the Austin metro within a few business days, and in many cases we can have someone out the same week you call. Same-day visits are available for homeowners within 15 miles of central Austin, including Cedar Park, Wells Branch, and parts of Georgetown. If you’re further out – Elgin, Lago Vista, Taylor, Camp Swift – we’ll usually be there within two business days.
Here’s how the first contact works. You call (325) 225-5429. A person answers. You describe your kitchen – the layout, what’s failing, what you want changed. We schedule a site visit within the window we give you. Trevor or one of our technicians arrives on time, in uniform, with a badge. They measure, ask about how you actually use the kitchen, and walk through the options in plain English. Then you get a written price.
No three-hour presentation. No “today only” pressure. Just a number you can hold us to, backed by The Kingswell Way – say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it.
Emergency situations like a burst supply line behind the sink or a failed cabinet box that’s pulling off the wall get priority scheduling. Call us, tell us what’s happening, and we’ll tell you realistically when we can be there.
Areas We Cover
Penhallow Remodeling serves Austin and the communities within a 45-minute drive. If you’re in Cedar Park, we’re regularly working kitchens in the Cypress Creek and Twin Creeks neighborhoods. Georgetown homeowners call us for ranch-style kitchen updates near Sun City and along Williams Drive. We do work in Elgin’s older bungalows, Lago Vista’s hillside homes with slab foundations, Taylor’s historic houses near the downtown grid, Wells Branch townhomes, and newer builds in Camp Swift. If you’re not sure whether you’re in our coverage area, call (325) 225-5429 and ask. A human will answer and tell you straight.

What a Kitchen Remodel Costs in Austin
Kitchen remodels in Austin typically run $18,000 to $55,000. That’s a real range, not a teaser number. What pushes a kitchen toward the top or bottom of that range comes down to three things: layout changes, cabinet line, and Quartz & Granite Countertops.
If the walls stay where they are and you’re replacing cabinets, counters, fixtures, and Backsplash, Tile & Flooring in the same footprint, you’re usually looking at the lower to middle part of that range. Move a wall, relocate plumbing, or add a kitchen island where there wasn’t one, and the price climbs because the scope expands: framing, drywall, electrical, permit drawings.
Cabinet selection matters more than most homeowners expect. Stock KraftMaid cabinets keep costs moderate. Semi-custom Wellborn cabinets cost more but let you dial in the exact drawer configuration and door style. Countertops follow a similar ladder: laminate is the most affordable, then solid surface, then quartz from Cambria or Silestone anywhere from $4,500 to $12,000 depending on square footage and edge profile.
Here’s a breakdown of typical Austin kitchen remodel line items:
| Line Item | Typical Range in Austin |
|---|---|
| Cabinetry (stock to semi-custom) | $6,000 – $22,000 |
| Countertops (laminate to quartz) | $2,500 – $12,000 |
| Fixtures & sink (Kohler, Moen, Blanco) | $800 – $3,500 |
| Flooring in kitchen footprint | $1,800 – $6,000 |
| Appliance electrical & plumbing rough-in | $1,200 – $4,000 |
| Demo & debris removal | $1,500 – $3,000 |
| Tile backsplash (labor + material) | $900 – $3,500 |
| Permits & inspections | $300 – $1,800 |
These numbers reflect the Austin market as of 2025 and assume a kitchen between 150 and 250 square feet – the size typical in most Cedar Park and Georgetown homes built after 1990. Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels can come in under $18,000. Larger or highly customized kitchens can exceed $55,000.
The point isn’t the range. The point is that when we give you a number, it’s a written commitment. The line items are listed. The material allowances are specified by brand. The price on day one is the price on the invoice. That’s the Kingswell Guarantee on every project Penhallow Remodeling takes on.
Why Our Kitchen Remodels Hold Up in Texas Heat and Shifting Soils
Austin’s climate does specific things to kitchens. The clay-rich soils across central Texas expand and contract dramatically with seasonal moisture swings, which means slab-on-grade foundations move. In neighborhoods like Wells Branch and along the eastern edge of Georgetown, we routinely see hairline cracks in tile floors and counters pulling away from walls when homes sit on expansive clay without proper movement joints.
A kitchen remodel done wrong in this soil doesn’t just look bad. It fails. Cabinet boxes rack out of square. Grout lines crack. Undermount sinks lose their seal and leak into the cabinet below.
We build for that. Cabinet installation gets shimmed and leveled to the actual floor, not the theoretical one. Tile work uses decoupling membranes or movement joints where the substrate span demands it. When we install cement board substrate (the moisture-resistant layer behind your tile), we tape and seal the seams so humidity from Austin’s long summers doesn’t swell the backing and pop tiles.
We also specify materials that survive the heat. Quartz counters from Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone stand up to a hot pan better than most laminates, and quartz doesn’t need the periodic sealing that granite does. Moen and Kohler fixtures come with their own manufacturer warranties, and we install them to spec so those warranties stay valid.
When we write your 365-Day Done Right Promise, we’re not gambling. We’ve built the kitchen the way a Texas kitchen needs to be built. And if something still fails within that first year, we come back and make it right at no charge. No service call fee, no re-inspection fee. That second visit is free, period.
How We Work: From First Call to Final Walkthrough
Remodeling a kitchen is disruptive. We don’t pretend otherwise. What we do is make the disruption predictable, which is the thing most homeowners actually want.
The process starts with a phone call to (325) 225-5429. A live person answers – not a script, not an answering service – and we talk through your kitchen. Then Trevor Nash or a member of our team visits your home at a scheduled time, in uniform, with ID. We measure, we listen, and we walk through what can be done within your budget and what cannot.
You get a written price. Not an estimate range. Not a verbal ballpark. A line-itemed written number you can hold us to. If you sign, we order materials only after the contract terms are clear and the permits are in process where required.
During construction, the job site stays clean. Tools and materials stay contained to the work area. At the end of each day, the path to your coffee maker stays clear enough to make morning coffee without doing parkour.
At the final walkthrough, we review everything against the written scope. You get the written guarantee. You keep our number. And if something goes wrong in the next 365 days, you call, we answer, and we fix it.
What to Check Before Hiring a Kitchen Remodeler in Austin
We’re going to give you the list we’d give our own siblings, because most homeowners don’t know what separates a real contractor from a pickup truck with a Facebook page.
- Written price before work starts. If a contractor won’t put the number in writing before demo day, walk away. A written price is the single strongest signal that you’re dealing with a professional.
- Written guarantee. Ask what happens when the work fails six months out. If the answer is vague, that’s your answer.
- Brand-name materials. A contractor who installs KraftMaid cabinets or Cambria quartz has standing with those manufacturers. A contractor installing “whatever’s cheap this week” does not.
- Answer-the-phone test. Call on a Sunday evening. If you get a voicemail that never gets returned, imagine what happens mid-project when a question comes up.
- Background checks and uniforms. You’re letting strangers into your home for weeks. Know who they are.
- Clear arrival windows. “Sometime Tuesday” isn’t a schedule. A real arrival window – “Tuesday between 8 and 10” – is.
Penhallow Remodeling meets all six. That’s not a slogan. It’s an operating standard we’ve held since the Kingswell family of companies was founded in 2004, and each location is independently owned and operated to that same standard.
The Materials Behind the Guarantee
A written guarantee is only as good as the materials behind it. We install products from manufacturers who stand behind their own warranties, so your kitchen carries layers of protection: ours and theirs.
- Cabinetry: KraftMaid and Wellborn. KraftMaid for budget-conscious projects where we can still hit a clean, square install. Wellborn for semi-custom work where you want specific drawer configurations and door styles.
- Countertops: Cambria, Silestone, and Caesarstone quartz. Cambria quartz carries a lifetime warranty to the original owner, which runs alongside our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
- Fixtures: Kohler, Moen, Blanco, Delta, and Toto. We install faucets and sinks from manufacturers with established warranty paths, so if a cartridge fails, you’re not buying a whole new fixture.
- Backsplash and tile: We don’t cut corners on the substrate. The cement board behind your tile gets the same attention as the tile you see, because that’s what determines whether it’s still flat in five years.
When Trevor Nash walks your kitchen, he’ll tell you honestly which materials fit your budget and which don’t. No upselling. No manufactured urgency. Just the facts, the numbers, and a written plan.
