Before & After: Austin Kitchen Remodel That Transformed the Space

Before & After: Austin Kitchen Remodel That Transformed the Space

There’s nothing quite like a kitchen transformation — and this recent remodel in Austin, TX proves it. At Austin Painting and Cabinets, we’ve completed dozens of kitchen remodels throughout the area, but this project stands out for its combination of smart design, premium materials, and a rapid timeline.

What the Homeowner Wanted

Our client came to us with a clear vision: brighten and modernize their outdated kitchen without the hassle or cost of a full gut renovation. They wanted a sleek, clean look with more storage, better lighting, and a fresh layout that would make everyday life easier.

What We Delivered

This remodel was a full transformation — not just a facelift. We installed brand new custom slab cabinet doors, painted in a custom color chosen by the homeowner. We also upgraded the countertops to beautiful, durable quartz, added a stunning tile backsplash, and installed soft-close hinges, matte black hardware, and under-cabinet lighting for a high-end finish.

  • New custom slab cabinet doors painted in a custom color
  • Premium quartz countertops and modern tile backsplash
  • Matte black hardware with soft-close hinges
  • Recessed LED and under-cabinet lighting

The finished result is a bright, functional space that feels brand new — and it was all completed in under 4 weeks.

Design Highlights

The custom slab cabinet doors gave the kitchen a sleek, modern look. We painted them in a unique, hand-selected color that coordinates perfectly with the countertops and walls. Our cabinet painting process includes a durable, factory-like finish that stands up to daily use.

To elevate the entire space, we also updated the lighting and layout. Recessed LEDs and under-cabinet strips make food prep easier, while the new cabinet layout maximizes storage and workflow.

Material Choices: Quartz, Hardware & More

Quartz was the clear winner for the countertops — offering both durability and style. The client chose a white slab with subtle veining to reflect light and tie the color scheme together. For contrast, we installed matte black pulls and knobs that added a bold, modern touch.

This combination of high-end materials and thoughtful layout made the kitchen feel not just new, but entirely custom.

Because our team specializes in both kitchen remodeling and countertop installation, we completed this project efficiently — in just under 4 weeks. No delays, no trade juggling, no hidden costs. Just clear communication and expert coordination from start to finish.
