Custom cabinets, cabinet installation, cabinet refacing, and built-in cabinetry by a family-owned contractor proudly serving homeowners throughout Austin and Central Texas.
Most people call us because storage stopped working or the kitchen just looks tired. Here’s what new cabinetry actually gets you:
Our cabinetry services cover everything from a single vanity to a full custom kitchen. Most projects pull from these:
Built for your layout, not adapted to it. Door styles from shaker to slab, paint or stain finishes, soft-close hardware, and interior storage designed around how you actually cook. Full kitchen remodels or cabinets only.
Floating vanities, double vanities, and custom builds sized for tight bathroom footprints where stock sizes never quite fit. Built to handle moisture, with finishes that hold up.
If your cabinet boxes are solid and the layout works, refacing gets you a new look for a fraction of full replacement. New doors, drawer fronts, veneer, and hardware — the frames stay, everything you see changes.
The lightest-touch option. Same doors, same layout, new finish. Proper prep, sanding, and a durable sprayed finish so it doesn't chip the first time someone bumps it with a pan.
We install what we build and what you buy. If you've ordered cabinets from a showroom or big-box store, we'll set them level, square, and scribed to your walls — which matters more than most people realize in an older Austin house.
Custom shelving, window seats, media walls, and bookcases built into the space instead of parked against it.
Desks, shelving, and file storage designed around how you work, sized to the room you've got.
Laundry room cabinets, mudroom lockers and benches, and pantry cabinets with real organization. The rooms that work hardest and get updated last.
Durable garage storage that gets tools and gear off the floor.
Doors that won't close, drawers off their slides, loose hinges, or water damage under a sink. Not everything needs replacing.
Knobs, pulls, hinges, crown molding, and toe kicks. As a residential cabinetry team, we know the details are what separate custom from close enough.
This is the question almost every client asks, so here’s the honest breakdown.
The short version: if you like the layout and the boxes are sound, refinishing or refacing usually gets you there. If the layout is the problem, replace. We’ll open a few doors, check the boxes, and tell you honestly which one you’re looking at, including when the cheaper option is the right one.
We’re Joe and Julie Davila, and Cornerstone is our family business. Joe was born and raised in Austin and runs the construction side, on-site and hands-on. Julie’s background is in interior design, so she handles layout, door styles, finishes, and hardware — the choices that determine whether cabinets look designed or just installed.
Every project is managed by our in-house team from planning through completion. Whether it’s one vanity or a full kitchen, you’ll always have one point of contact.
Doing more than cabinets? We handle cabinetry as part of whole home remodeling, interior projects, kitchens, and bathrooms.
We keep the process simple on purpose. No runaround, no mystery.
Tell us what you need. Free, takes a few minutes.
We measure the space, check what's there, and talk through options.
Layout, door style, finish, and hardware, with renderings so you can see it.
Cabinets built or ordered, then installed level, square, and scribed to your walls.
Cabinet projects cover a wide range, so there’s no flat price. What yours costs depends on:
The timeline follows the same pattern. Refinishing moves quickly. Refacing takes longer. Custom cabinets have real build and lead times, which is worth knowing before you plan around a holiday.
We’d rather look at your actual space than guess. As a cabinet contractor, we’ll measure, talk through options, and give you a clear breakdown of cost and schedule before anything starts. No hidden fees.
For most cabinet projects, you stay in the house and life keeps moving.
Refinishing and refacing mean your kitchen is partially out of service for a stretch, and we’ll tell you how long up front. Full replacement means a gap between demo and install — we’ll help you plan a temporary setup and keep that window as tight as we can. Either way, we seal off the work zone, run dust control, and clean up daily.

If the boxes are solid and you like the layout, refinishing or refacing usually gets you the look you want for less. If the boxes are damaged or the layout doesn’t work, replacement is the move. We’ll check the condition and give you an honest recommendation.
It depends on how much cabinetry you need, whether you go custom or semi-custom, the materials and finish, and the storage features you add. Refinishing costs least, refacing sits in the middle, and full custom replacement is the largest investment. We’ll measure and give you a detailed breakdown.
Refinishing is the quickest. Refacing takes longer since doors and fronts have to be made. Custom cabinets have real build and lead times on top of installation. We give you a realistic schedule before we start.
Stock comes in fixed sizes and ships fast. Semi-custom offers more sizes, finishes, and door styles within set options. Custom is built to your exact measurements with no compromises on layout, which matters most in older Austin homes where nothing is a standard size.
Plywood boxes hold up better than particleboard, especially anywhere near water. Solid hardwood doors take paint and stain well and last decades. MDF is stable and takes a painted finish nicely. We’ll walk you through what fits your budget and where it’s worth spending more.
Both, depending on the project. Some jobs call for fully custom built work, others are better served by quality semi-custom lines. We’ll recommend based on your layout, timeline, and budget, not on what’s easier for us.
Yes. If you’ve ordered from a showroom or big-box store, we’ll install them properly. In older Austin homes, walls are rarely square, and scribing cabinets to fit is the difference between a clean install and visible gaps.
Custom bathroom vanities, bookcases, entertainment centers, home office built-ins, laundry and mudroom storage, and garage cabinets are all regular work for us.
Often, yes for an addition or a single replacement run. Matching an older finish exactly can be tricky depending on age and wear, and we’ll be upfront about how close we expect to get before you commit.
Cabinets are one of the first things buyers notice in a kitchen or bath, so updated cabinetry tends to hold its value well. The daily payoff is usually bigger though, storage that finally works is something you notice every morning.
We do. Every estimate is free with no obligation, and if we don’t need to visit your home first, you can often expect one within 24 hours.
Yes. Cornerstone Home Renovations is a licensed and insured cabinet company, so your home and your investment are protected.
Tell us what's not working, storage, style, or both. We'll take a look and give you a straight answer, including when the cheaper option is the right one.
