The kitchen is where everybody ends up. Morning coffee, homework at the counter, friends crowded around while you cook. When it’s cramped, dated, or laid out wrong, you feel it every single day.
That’s what we fix. Cornerstone is a family-owned kitchen remodeling company in Austin, and this is the service homeowners ask us about most. Whether you’re after a small kitchen remodel or a complete kitchen renovation down to the studs, we handle the whole thing under one roof, design, cabinet installation, countertop installation, flooring, lighting, and finishes.
Julie brings a background in interior design, so if you’re not sure where to start, you’re in good hands. Already have a Pinterest board going? Even better. As your kitchen remodeling contractor, we’ll take it from idea to finished room.
Every kitchen is different, but most of our projects pull from these:
Cabinetry sets the tone for the whole room and it's usually the biggest piece of the project. We handle custom cabinets, cabinet refacing when the boxes are still solid, walk-in pantry builds, and kitchen storage solutions that finally give you room for everything.
Quartz countertops, granite countertops, marble — we'll help you weigh look, durability, and budget, then handle fabrication and install. Tile backsplash installation included.
Sometimes the cabinets aren't the problem, the floor plan is. Our kitchen design services cover space planning, custom design, and layout reconfiguration — including opening up walls for an open concept kitchen or adding a kitchen island where it makes sense.
Kitchen flooring installation pulls the room together. Hardwood, tile, luxury vinyl — installed clean and level, built to handle a busy household.
Recessed lighting, pendants over the island, under-cabinet lighting. We also handle the kitchen plumbing and kitchen electrical work behind the walls, so sinks, faucets, and fixtures land exactly where you want them.
Appliance installation, paint, hardware, and trim, the details that make a kitchen feel finished instead of almost-done.
Modern kitchen remodels, farmhouse kitchen remodels, contemporary kitchen design, and luxury kitchen renovation work. Whatever direction you're leaning, we'll build it to match the rest of your home.
If your remodel involves plumbing, electrical, or structural work, it likely needs City of Austin permits. We coordinate permitting and inspections so everything's done by the book.
Most folks call us because something’s been bugging them for years. Here’s what a kitchen remodel actually gets you:
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 handles design, and she genuinely loves this part, watching a rough idea turn into a kitchen people show off to everyone who visits.
When you hire us, you work with us. Not a rotating cast of subs.
We handle kitchen work as part of full home renovations too, if you’re thinking bigger than one room.
We keep the process simple on purpose. No runaround, no mystery.
Tell us what's not working and what you're picturing. Free, takes a few minutes.
We walk your kitchen, talk through options, and give you a clear breakdown.
Choose cabinets, counters, flooring, and finishes with 3D renderings.
Demo through install, with regular updates so you always know what's next.
There’s no flat price for a kitchen renovation, because a cosmetic refresh and a full gut aren’t the same project. What yours costs comes down to:
The timeline follows the same logic. A small kitchen remodel moves quickly. A complete kitchen renovation with layout changes takes considerably longer, and lead times on cabinets and countertops factor in too.
Rather than throw out a number that doesn’t mean anything, we come look at your kitchen, understand what you want, and give you a clear breakdown of cost and schedule before any work starts. No hidden fees, no moving targets.
We get asked this a lot, and it’s a fair question — the kitchen isn’t a room you can easily do without.
Most homeowners stay in the house during a kitchen remodel. We’ll help you set up a temporary kitchen somewhere else in the home, keep the work zone contained, and stay on top of dust control so the rest of your house stays livable. We’ll also give you a realistic heads-up on which stretch of the project will be the most disruptive, so you can plan around it instead of getting blindsided.
Here’s a look at kitchens we’ve transformed for families around Austin and Central Texas.
We take on kitchen remodeling projects across a wide stretch of Central Texas, in Travis County and Williamson County alike. If you’re a little outside the Austin city limits, chances are we’ve still got you covered.
Get answers to common questions about remodeling costs, timelines, estimates, our process, and the services we provide for homeowners throughout Austin and Central Texas.
It depends on the size of your kitchen, whether you’re replacing or refacing cabinets, the countertop material you pick, and whether the layout is changing. We’ll walk your kitchen and give you a detailed estimate upfront, with no hidden fees.
Cabinets, almost always. Custom cabinets take the biggest share of most budgets, with countertops and labor close behind. If you’re watching the number, cabinet refacing is usually where the real savings show up.
It varies with scope. A cosmetic update wraps up fast, while a complete kitchen renovation with layout changes takes longer, and cabinet and countertop lead times affect the schedule too. We give you a realistic timeline before we start.
Yes, and it’s often the smarter play. Keeping the sink and appliances where they are avoids rerouting plumbing and drain lines, which saves both money and time. If the layout genuinely isn’t working, we’ll tell you straight whether moving it is worth it.
Start with how you actually use the kitchen, not just the look. Think about what you’re storing and where you want it. From there it comes down to door style, finish, and whether stock, semi-custom, or custom cabinets fit your budget. We walk clients through this every week.
Often yes, since kitchens are one of the first rooms buyers judge. If you’re selling soon, a targeted update usually makes more sense than a full luxury kitchen remodel. If you’re staying put, build the kitchen you actually want.
Updated cabinets, quality countertops, better lighting, and a layout that flows tend to give you the most back, both in resale and in daily use.
Not fully, but most families stay in the home. We’ll help you set up a temporary kitchen, keep the work area contained, and let you know ahead of time which phase will be the most disruptive.
If your project involves plumbing, electrical, or structural changes, then usually yes. City of Austin permit requirements depend on scope, and we handle the permitting and inspection coordination for you.
Yes. Julie’s background is in interior design, so we help with kitchen layout, space planning, materials, and finishes, and we provide digital renderings so you can see the room before we build it.
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 remodeling contractor, so your home and your investment are protected throughout the project.
Tell us what's not working and what you've been picturing. We'll take it from there, honest pricing, quality work, and a family team that treats your home like our own.
