Whole-Home Remodeling in Austin, TX

A cosmetic whole-house update — flooring, paint, fixtures, and finishes throughout — commonly runs $60,000–$120,000 on a typical Austin home. Once kitchens, bathrooms, and layout changes are included, most projects land $150,000–$400,000+. The honest answer is that it depends entirely on scope, and we will not pretend a number exists before we have walked your house.

That is your call to make with your own numbers — we are contractors, not financial advisors. What we can tell you is the real construction cost of getting the house you want, so you are weighing that against realtor fees, closing costs, and current Austin prices instead of guessing at both sides.

Often yes, if we phase it. We seal off zones with dust barriers, keep one working bathroom and a temporary kitchen area live, and sequence the work so you always have somewhere to sleep and eat. For a full gut, moving out for the middle stretch is usually faster and cheaper overall — we will tell you which case you are in.

Cosmetic whole-house work: 6–10 weeks. A full remodel involving kitchens, baths, and layout changes: 4–8 months, plus permitting time up front. Anyone promising a gut renovation in six weeks is telling you what you want to hear.

For most remodels we handle design in-house. If you are moving structural walls, adding square footage, or building an addition, we bring in an architect and a structural engineer — and we manage them, so you still have one point of contact.

Milestone draws tied to completed, inspected stages of work. You never pay a large sum for work that has not been performed. Every draw is defined in the contract before we start.
