Inspector-led luxury remodeling

Luxury home remodeling in Austin, planned with clearer eyes.

Austin Remodel and Restoration brings a Certified Master Inspector perspective to high-end kitchens, bathrooms, additions, historic homes, and whole-home renovations. We start with the conditions beneath the design so the finished work can be both beautiful and accountable.

What we build

Better function, durable materials, and details that hold up.

Our process

From first conversation to final walkthrough.

01

Consult

We walk the property with you, listen to how you actually use the space, and identify the priorities driving the project.

02

Inspect

Before any design decision is finalized, a Certified Master Inspector reviews structure, moisture, electrical, and plumbing conditions behind the walls.

03

Design

Layout, materials, and sequencing get locked in based on what the inspection found, not around it.

04

Build

One team carries the project from demo through finishes, so scope doesn't get lost in handoffs between trades.

05

Walkthrough

We review the finished work against the original plan before calling the project complete.

Certified Master Inspector

We check the house before new finishes cover it.

Structure, moisture signs, visible electrical and plumbing conditions, ventilation, and prior alterations can all affect a remodel. We review those conditions early so the design and construction plan respond to the home that is actually there.

Inspection-led remodeling

Why inspect before you remodel?

Most remodeling quotes are built from what a contractor can see on the surface. An inspection-led approach looks underneath it first — moisture intrusion behind a shower wall, undersized electrical feeding a kitchen addition, or settling that a historic home's foundation has been quietly managing for decades. Finding these conditions before demo starts means fewer change orders once walls are open, and a design that accounts for the house you actually have rather than the one on paper.

This matters most on three types of projects: homes over 30 years old, additions tying into existing structure, and any remodel following prior water or fire damage — where finishes were sometimes replaced without addressing what caused the damage underneath.

Questions answered

Common questions about remodeling in Austin

How long does a typical remodel take?

Timeline depends on scope. A kitchen or bathroom remodel typically runs 6-10 weeks once design is finalized; whole-home renovations and additions run longer and depend on permitting. We'll give you a project-specific timeline after the initial inspection.

Can I stay in my home during the remodel?

Often, yes — especially for single-room projects. Whole-home renovations sometimes require temporary relocation for portions of the work. We'll walk through what to expect for your specific project during the consult.

Do I need permits for my project?

Most kitchen, bathroom, addition, and structural remodeling work in the Austin area requires permits. We handle the permitting process as part of the project scope.

What if my home has damage from a past water or fire event?

This is exactly where our restoration and remodeling teams overlap. If a remodel uncovers unresolved damage, we can address the repair and the upgrade in the same project instead of hiring separate contractors.
