Meet the Austin Team Behind Penhallow Remodeling Austin
When you hire a remodeler in Austin, you’re not hiring a logo. You’re hiring the people who walk through your door at 7:45 in the morning, set up dust containment in the hallway, and treat your kitchen like it’s their own. Our crew is small on purpose. Four full-time field and office staff handle every Penhallow Remodeling Austin project from first measurement to final walkthrough. That matters because the person who attends your initial estimate is the same person who checks the punch list at the end. No handoffs to strangers, no “the office will call you back.” Just the same faces from day one to day done.
Our People
Trevor Nash, Owner
Trevor runs every Austin project personally. He’s the one who walks the job before a single number goes on paper, and he’s the one you’ll argue with about whether a peninsula needs 12 inches of overhang or 14. He’ll win that argument, politely, because he’s done enough kitchen remodels in Austin to know what works in a 1952 bungalow versus a 2019 box house in Leander. Trevor came up through the Kingswell system, learning the trade before learning the business. These days he spends his mornings on job sites and his afternoons writing fixed-price proposals that don’t change once the sledgehammers come out. He’s dry about Texas heat, honest about what things cost, and unreasonably picky about cabinet reveals. That’s the job, and he’s good at it.
Leo R., Lead Installer
Leo has been setting cabinets and hanging drywall for over fifteen years, the last six of them in the Austin market. He’s the crew’s finish specialist: the one who notices when a miter is off by a degree, or when a tile layout would look better shifted two inches to center a window. Leo handles most of the structural framing, cement board substrate, and countertop templating on our kitchen and bath remodels. He’s also the guy who labels his tool batteries so nobody walks off with them. During the summer, Leo works with a box fan running at all times and still outpaces crews half his age. Homeowners across the Austin area routinely ask for him by name on repeat projects, which says more than any review could.
Amelia G., Senior Finisher
Amelia does the work that separates a good remodel from a great one: paint-grade trim, caulk lines that stay true, grout joints that don’t haze, and the final touches most contractors rush because they’re behind schedule. She’s our go-to for tile layouts, especially the patterned bathroom floors that have become popular in South Austin and Mueller. Amelia is certified in Schluter waterproofing systems, which matters when we’re rebuilding a curbless shower over a slab foundation. She has a habit of sketching tile patterns on scrap drywall during lunch, and most of the bathrooms in her own house have been redone at least twice because she couldn’t decide on a layout. Her indecision is your gain: the layout she commits to for your job is the one she’s already tested in her head.
Marcus T., Service Coordinator
Marcus is the voice you get when you call (325) 225-5429. He’s been answering phones for the Kingswell family of companies since 2018, and he knows the Austin permitting process well enough to tell you whether your project needs a plumbing permit, an electrical permit, or both before the city opens. Marcus keeps the schedule sane, coordinates materials deliveries so cabinets and countertops aren’t sitting in your garage for three weeks, and updates you the moment anything shifts. He’s from Round Rock originally, which means he can tell you exactly which neighborhoods have hard water problems that matter when you’re choosing a shower valve. Marcus is also the world’s most patient man, which he proves every Monday when the city’s inspection portal goes down for maintenance.
Styles & brands we work with
One Standard, Every Job
Every person on this page works to the Kingswell Way, and that’s not a slogan. The Kingswell Way has been the house standard since 2004: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it. That’s how Leo frames a wall, how Amelia tiles a floor, and how Trevor writes a proposal. Each Penhallow Remodeling Austin location is independently owned and operated, but the standard is uniform. The 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every project this crew touches. If something fails inside the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge, in writing on every job. No service call, no re-inspection fee, no awkward conversation about whose fault it was. The crew you meet today is the crew that returns if something goes wrong later. That’s the point of keeping it small.
- Every project under the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work fails during the guarantee period, we return and repair it at no charge. In writing, every time.
- A written price before any work begins: not a range, not a ballpark. A number on paper you can hold us to.
- A defined arrival window: when we say 8:00, we mean 8:00, not 8:45 with a coffee run.
- A clean job site every day: we contain dust, bag debris, and sweep before we leave. You live here; we don’t treat it like a construction zone.
- A live person answers the phone 24/7: not an answering service, not a voicemail prompt. Call (325) 225-5429 right now if you want to verify that yourself.

AfterWhy a Named Crew Matters
Remodeling is personal. These people are going to be in your house for weeks, sometimes months. They’ll know where your kitchen trash can lives, which bathroom is the “good” one, and whether your dog barks at men in boots. You should know their names too. When Trevor walks your project, he’s not just looking at framing and plumbing rough-ins. He’s figuring out which crew member fits your job best: whether Amelia’s patience with pattern work is what you need, or whether Leo’s speed on a straight kitchen gut-and-replace is the smarter call. That matters in Austin, where remodel demand is high and good crews are booked out. We don’t sub out the critical work to strangers. The people on this page are the people on your job.
How We Work in Austin
Austin remodels come with specific challenges. Pier-and-beam foundations shift. Clay soil moves with drought and rain. Hard water kills cheap fixtures. We know this because we work here full time, not because we read a blog post about it. Trevor has opened enough walls in Allandale and Crestview to know what 1950s wiring looks like. Leo has dealt with enough unlevel slabs in the east side’s newer infill homes to know when a countertop needs shims and when the slab needs actual work. Amelia has tiled enough Travis Heights bathrooms to know that plumbing in older homes rarely sits where the floor plan says it should. When you hire Penhallow Remodeling Austin, you’re hiring that local knowledge, applied by people with names and phone numbers and a written guarantee behind them.
If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, a bathroom update, or a whole-home renovation in the Austin area, call (325) 225-5429. Marcus will answer, hear what you’re working on, and set up a walkthrough with Trevor. The estimate is free. The price you receive is written. The people you meet are the people on this page.
