East Riverside Austin Kitchen Remodel: Cabinets to the Ceiling & Custom Hood

Project Overview

This Austin kitchen remodel near East Riverside focused on transforming the kitchen without replacing the existing cabinet boxes.

As part of our kitchen remodeling services, we upgraded the kitchen with custom cabinetry modifications, cabinet painting, new countertops, backsplash, lighting, and fixtures to create a much more custom, built-in appearance.

Before the Remodel

The original kitchen had standard-height cabinets that stopped below the ceiling, limited built-in details, and lacked the custom features that make a kitchen feel complete.

After the Remodel

The finished kitchen now feels significantly larger, taller, and more custom. Bringing the cabinets to the ceiling, adding crown molding, building a custom cabinet above the refrigerator, and creating a custom vent hood dramatically changed the appearance of the space.

Design Highlights

The biggest transformation in this Austin kitchen remodel came from bringing the cabinets all the way to the ceiling.

Combined with crown molding, the custom refrigerator cabinet, refrigerator panel, and custom vent hood, the kitchen now feels significantly more upscale and intentionally designed.

The painted cabinets, quartz countertops, backsplash, and updated fixtures completed the transformation and created a kitchen that feels entirely new without requiring full cabinet replacement.
