Remodeling Company in Austin, TX
Home remodeling in Austin usually means working with houses built before modern energy codes, on soils that move with every drought and downpour, under city rules that can change from one block to the next. We’re Penhallow Remodeling Austin, and we put your price in writing before the first material is ordered, with a 365-Day Done Right Promise behind every job. If you’re planning a kitchen, bath, or whole-home project, call (325) 225-5429 and we’ll walk you through what it will actually cost.
Why Austin Homes Are Different
Austin’s housing stock runs from 1920s pier-and-beam bungalows in Hyde Park and Travis Heights to sprawling 1980s slab-on-grade homes in neighborhoods like Circle C and Steiner Ranch. That range matters because the work is never the same twice. The 1970s and 80s slabs sit on expansive clay that shrinks in summer drought and swells after rain, which means door frames shift, tile cracks, and a simple remodel sometimes starts with fixing what the soil did first.
The Save Our Springs Ordinance and rules around the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone add a layer of permitting reality in west and southwest Austin that other Texas cities don’t deal with. If your home sits in or near the recharge zone, drainage and impervious cover rules can shape what you’re allowed to build and how the site is graded. We work through those details as part of the written estimate, so the number you approve reflects the permit reality, not a surprise later.
Weather is the other factor. Intense UV exposure fades and cracks exterior wood and siding fast, and the humidity works on anything without proper ventilation. In East Austin’s older pier-and-beam homes, the first heavy rain after a dry spell often exposes floor joist rot that was invisible during the showing. Good remodeling here starts with looking at what the house has been through, not just what you want it to become.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Austin Services
Most Austin homeowners call us for one of three things: full general contracting, a kitchen that finally works the way they cook, or a bathroom that stops feeling like a humid closet. Here’s how each one looks in Austin specifically.
General Contractor in Austin
Acting as your General Contractor in Austin means coordinating permits, subs, materials, and inspections across a city with real soil, drainage, and environmental rules. We handle the trade sequencing so you’re not calling five different crews hoping they show up in the right order. Every project starts with a written price, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers the finished work.
Bathroom Remodeling in Austin
Older Austin bathrooms fight two things: moisture and shifting slabs. We see cracked tile, failing grout, and vanities pulling away from walls after years of soil movement. Bathroom Remodeling in Austin with us starts by checking the substrate (the layer behind your tile) and the plumbing rough-in before any finish material goes up. You’ll get a written number before demo day, not after.
Kitchen Remodeling in Austin
Austin kitchens run from galley layouts in 1940s bungalows to big open plans in 2000s suburban builds. Kitchen Remodeling in Austin means planning around the house’s actual bones: where the load-bearing wall sits, whether the slab can handle an island’s plumbing run, and what cabinet line fits your budget without cutting corners. The price you approve on day one is the price on the final invoice.

Home Remodeling in Austin
Whole-home remodeling in Austin is a different animal from a single-room refresh. The city’s housing stock spans nearly a century of building methods, and the clay soil under most of the metro is constantly shifting with drought and flood cycles. When you’re opening walls or tying an addition into an existing slab-on-grade foundation, what you find behind the drywall determines whether the written price holds or the scope changes. That’s why we do a thorough walkthrough before quoting, and why the number we hand you is a fixed written price, not a range that drifts once demo starts. This is the core of our Home Remodeling work in Austin.
Whole House Remodel
Signs you need it
You’re patching one room after another while the underlying issues, including shifting door frames, dated wiring, and a floor plan that fights your daily routine, keep showing up.
What it costs in Austin
A whole house remodel in Austin typically runs $45,000 – $130,000 depending on square footage, foundation work, and finish level.
How we do it
We start with a structural and systems walkthrough, produce a written fixed price, then sequence the work so the house stays livable where possible and every trade is background-checked and uniformed.
Luxury Home Remodeling
Signs you need it
You want higher-end materials and a more tailored layout, and you’re willing to invest in the planning and engineering that keeps the result looking and performing like it belongs in the house.

We lock the material selections and written price before cutting begins, pull permits, and coordinate the schedule so each trade arrives at the right time with the right specifications.

Will the price change once the walls are open?
Your written price holds unless you change the scope or we find a code or structural issue that could not have been seen during the walkthrough. If that happens, we show you the evidence and a new written number before proceeding. Call (325) 225-5429 for an exact quote.
