South Austin Kitchen Remodel with New Cabinets & Quartz Countertops

This South Austin kitchen remodel is a strong example of how a full cabinet upgrade can completely change the look and function of a kitchen. By removing the existing furdown, we were able to install taller new cabinets and create a cleaner, more custom look while maximizing storage.

The finished kitchen now features new cabinets, new quartz countertops, new hardware, a new sink, and a new tile backsplash for a brighter, more modern result.

Client Goals

The homeowner wanted to modernize the kitchen and make the space feel taller, cleaner, and more functional. One of the biggest priorities was removing the furdown so the new cabinetry could extend higher and create a more custom, built-in appearance.

The goal was to combine better storage, updated materials, and a more polished design without leaving the kitchen feeling chopped up or dated.

Before the Kitchen Remodel

Before the remodel, the kitchen had an outdated look and a furdown above the cabinetry that limited how tall the cabinets could go. That detail made the room feel less open and reduced the opportunity for better storage and a more custom finish.

Before: The original South Austin kitchen featured older cabinetry and a furdown that limited cabinet height and made the space feel more dated.

After the Kitchen Remodel

After removing the furdown, we installed taller new cabinets that immediately made the kitchen feel more custom and more functional. New quartz countertops, new hardware, a new sink, and a tile backsplash completed the transformation and gave the space a much brighter, cleaner finish.

The result is a South Austin kitchen remodel that feels taller, more cohesive, and much more aligned with what homeowners want in a modern kitchen.

After: Taller new cabinets, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, updated hardware, and a new sink created a cleaner and more modern South Austin kitchen.

Why This Kitchen Remodel Works

This kitchen remodel works because it focused on one of the most important visual and functional upgrades first: removing the furdown so the cabinetry could extend higher. That instantly made the kitchen feel more custom and increased the storage potential of the space.

Pairing the taller cabinets with new quartz countertops, backsplash, hardware, and a new sink created a finished result that feels intentional and modern instead of pieced together.

Projects like this show how installing new kitchen cabinets can dramatically improve both the look and function of a kitchen, especially when combined with surface and fixture upgrades.
