Austin Kitchen Remodel in Canyon Creek: Waterfall Quartz & Cabinet Update

Project Overview

This Austin kitchen remodel in the Canyon Creek neighborhood of Northwest Austin focused on updating the look and improving the functionality of the space without a full cabinet replacement.

As part of our kitchen remodeling services , we modernized the kitchen with cabinet painting , new countertops, layout improvements, and upgraded finishes to create a clean, cohesive design.

Before the Remodel

The original kitchen featured dated cabinets with glass doors and a raised bar top behind the sink that made the layout feel closed off and less functional.

After the Remodel

The updated kitchen feels more open, modern, and functional. Removing the raised bar top created a clean, single-level countertop, while new finishes brought the entire space up to date.
