CWS Construction in Georgetown, TX | Penhallow Remodeling Austin
We provide independent CWS cabinet installation, refacing, and full kitchen remodeling across Georgetown, and the thing that separates our work here is simple: we know how CWS products behave in Central Texas heat, expansive clay soil, and historic homes that the city watches closely. There’s no factory line to call. We’re a local crew led by Trevor Nash, and we’ve spent years learning the failure patterns CWS cabinets run into specifically in Georgetown’s older ranch houses, new limestone-veneer subdivisions, and protected Old Town bungalows. If you’ve got sun-warped doors on a west-facing wall or a swollen sink base from an old cast-iron drain, we can tell you exactly what happened and what it costs to fix. Call (325) 225-5429 for a free estimate, and we’ll put the number in writing before any work starts.
We’re part of the Kingswell family of companies, operating to The Kingswell Way since 2004, and we’re an independent CWS service provider. That last part matters. We are not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized by CWS. What we are is a General Contractor - Georgetown who knows this brand well enough to repair it honestly and replace it practically, without pushing you toward a full gut job when a reface makes more sense.

Why Georgetown Residents Choose Us for CWS Service
Most cabinet companies in the Austin metro will bid a CWS job, but very few can tell you why a Prestige Series raised-panel door warps on one wall and not another, or why your 2005 Builder Series sink base is swelling even though the sink itself has never leaked that you noticed. We can. Georgetown keeps us busy enough with CWS work that we’ve learned the brand’s weak points by watching them fail in the same neighborhoods, on the same exposures, year after year.
Trevor Nash grew up in Los Angeles and learned construction fundamentals at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending years on everything from foundation repairs to full kitchen rebuilds. He’s been serving Austin-area homeowners for well over a decade, and he built Penhallow Remodeling on one straightforward idea: give the customer a real number on day one and then do exactly what you said you’d do. That’s how we approach every CWS job in Georgetown. No mystery pricing. No vague ballpark. A written price before we touch a single door or drawer front.
We’re also not a call center. A live person answers the phone 24/7, and the technicians who walk into your Georgetown home are background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know exactly who’s in your kitchen.
If you’re in Georgetown or the surrounding area, our Georgetown service area page covers the neighborhoods we work in most often, from Old Town to Sun City and the newer subdivisions east of I-35.

Common CWS Construction Problems We Solve in Georgetown
- Sun-warped cabinet doors and face frames on west-facing walls. Georgetown’s semi-arid summers push afternoon temperatures hard against any window-facing wall. CWS Prestige Series raised-panel profiles are especially prone to warping on west exposures, where the door’s center panel expands differently than its frame. We’ve seen this enough in Georgetown’s 2000s-2020s tract developments to know when a door can be re-shaped and refinished versus when it needs replacing.
- Moisture-swollen particleboard boxes under sinks in 1970s ranch homes. Georgetown has a large stock of 1960s-1980s ranch homes, and many still carry their original cast-iron drains. Those drains leak slowly, often for years, before anyone notices the cabinet box underneath has absorbed water like a sponge. CWS boxes built with particleboard don’t recover from that. We cut out the damaged section and build a new box, or reface the entire run if the water traveled far enough.
- Misaligned cabinet runs from shifting pier-and-beam foundations. In Old Town Georgetown, many homes sit on 1890s-1920s pier-and-beam foundations with native limestone piers. Expansive clay soil moves those piers by fractions of an inch season after season. That’s enough to misalign a long CWS cabinet run, pop countertop seams, and make doors that once closed flush start rubbing. We re-level the run with the floor before we reface, because refacing over a crooked base just gives you newer doors that still don’t close right.
- Delaminating melamine interiors in ground-level kitchen islands. Georgetown’s flash-flood season brings big humidity swings. Ground-level islands without proper under-cabinet ventilation trap that moisture, and CWS melamine interiors begin to delaminate at the edges. We see this most often in newer Georgetown builds where the island is tight to the slab. The fix usually involves improving airflow and replacing the affected panels, not tearing out the whole island.
- Outdated CWS door profiles that look wrong in historic remodels. This one’s less a failure and more a mismatch. Georgetown’s Historic and Architectural Review Commission reviews changes in the Old Town overlay district, and off-the-shelf CWS replacement doors often don’t match the original Victorian or Craftsman millwork the commission expects. We custom-shape replacement doors and drawer fronts to those historic reveal patterns, then reface the existing boxes so the whole kitchen reads consistent with the house’s era.
CWS Service in Georgetown: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most CWS providers won’t tell you because they don’t work in Georgetown enough to know it: the Historic and Architectural Review Commission frequently requires new kitchen cabinetry in the Old Town overlay to match original 1890s-1920s millwork profiles. That means a straightforward CWS door replacement on Ash Street or Main Street isn’t just about ordering the right size from a catalog. The commission wants to see the reveal patterns, the stile and rail proportions, and the inset or overlay style that matches what the house had when it was built. So our CWS refacing jobs in Old Town often start with custom-shaping replacement doors and drawer fronts to Victorian or Craftsman profiles, then finishing them to sit correctly on the existing CWS boxes. It’s slower than a standard reface, and it costs more, but it’s the only way to get the project through review without a stall. In the newer subdivisions west and east of downtown, none of that applies, which is why Georgetown always keeps us honest. Two miles of geography changes the entire scope of a cabinet job here.
Penhallow Remodeling Austin is an independent CWS service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized shop. That independence means we can be honest about when a CWS part makes sense and when an aftermarket alternative does the same job better for less money. We don’t answer to a brand rep. We answer to you and to the city’s review process.
CWS Models & Products We Service in Georgetown
We work on the CWS Prestige Series, Estate Series, Classic Series, and Builder Series, covering everything from builder-grade boxes in Georgetown’s 2000s subdivision kitchens to higher-end Prestige raised-panel installations in custom homes near Sun City. For replacement parts, we default to OEM CWS hinges, drawer slides, and touch-up kits for dimensional consistency. When legacy CWS hardware is discontinued or backordered, we’ll recommend high-quality aftermarket soft-close dampers and Blum-style slides that fit the same bores and perform better than the original. We’re repair-first on solid-wood CWS doors and drawer fronts, but we won’t waste your money trying to salvage compressed or water-swollen boxes. Some things need replacing, not patching.
Our CWS work in Georgetown centers on cabinet installation and refacing, kitchen design and layout, and our Bathroom Remodeling in Georgetown. That’s not a generic list. It’s what CWS owners in this city actually call us for, over and over again.

What moves a Georgetown CWS job toward the top or bottom of those ranges?

A 2005 suburban CWS reface with standard door profiles and no foundation work sits at the lower end. A 1910 Old Town kitchen with pier-and-beam shoring, custom Craftsman door profiles, and Cambria quartz counters sits near the top.

FAQs – CWS Construction in Georgetown
Yes. We’ve done exactly that, most recently on a 1910 pier-and-beam bungalow on Ash Street in Old Town. Our crew replaced a water-damaged CWS Classic Series sink base that had swelled from a decades-old cast-iron drain leak, shored the native limestone piers, re-leveled the cabinet run with the floor, and built a new face frame to match the home’s original Craftsman inset look before installing new soft-close CWS-compatible hinges. The final reface passed HARC review without a stall. If your Old Town home needs historically matched CWS door profiles, call (325) 225-5429 and we’ll walk you through what the commission requires.
If the boxes are solid and the only damage is sun-faded or slightly warped doors, refacing is almost always the better move. We’d replace the west-facing doors and drawer fronts with new profiles that handle Georgetown’s afternoon heat better, and refinish the rest of the run so the color is consistent. Full replacement makes sense when the boxes themselves are compromised, which isn’t common from sun exposure alone. Call (325) 225-5429 and we’ll give you a written price for both options so you can decide with real numbers.
In most Georgetown homes we see, the culprit is a slow cast-iron drain leak that’s been seeping into the particleboard for years. The box absorbs the water, swells, and loses structural integrity. We can absolutely fix just that section: we cut out the damaged box, build a new sink base to match, and reinstall the existing doors if they’re still sound. If the water traveled into the adjacent boxes, we’ll tell you, and we’ll show you exactly where before we quote anything. Call (325) 225-5429 for a free assessment.
We keep a working inventory of common CWS-compatible hinges, drawer slides, soft-close dampers, and touch-up materials in our local stock for fast Georgetown turnaround. For legacy CWS hardware that’s discontinued or backordered, we’ll recommend Blum-style slides or equivalent aftermarket parts that fit the same bores and often outlast the originals. If you’re in Georgetown and need a drawer or door working again quickly, call (325) 225-5429 and we’ll check what we have on hand.
The biggest factor is under-cabinet ventilation. Ground-level islands in Georgetown sit close to the slab, and flash-flood humidity gets trapped underneath, which is what starts the delamination at the edges of CWS melamine panels. We address that during installation with proper venting and moisture barriers, and we pay attention to the slab’s moisture level before any cabinet box goes down. If you’re planning an island, call (325) 225-5429 before the countertops are templated. It’s a lot cheaper to design the ventilation in than to fix delaminated panels later.
