Kitchen Remodeling in Bee Cave, TX

Spanish Oaks and the larger Falconhead homes are 2000s and 2010s customs and semi-customs, often over 4,000 square feet, with kitchens that already have a big island, a hood, a walk-in pantry, and a butler's pantry to the dining room. The plan is fine. The palette is the problem: dark alder, speckled granite, tumbled travertine, and a backsplash with a mural over the range. Plumbing is PEX or copper, panels are 200 amps or more, and the systems are sound.

Lake Pointe goes back to the 1990s with production-plus plans: an arched opening to the family room, a raised bar, a corner pantry, and oak or maple that has darkened. Bee Cave sits on limestone, so slabs are stable and a drain relocation means cutting rock. Many of these kitchens open to a covered patio that never got the outdoor kitchen the lot deserved.

In Spanish Oaks and Falconhead the work is a full finish rebuild inside a plan we mostly keep. Alder comes out or gets replaced with painted or white oak cabinetry to the ceiling. Travertine floors come up, which is slow work on a slab, and wide-plank wood or a lighter stone goes down. The arched niches get squared or closed. The island gets rebuilt without corbels, often longer, with the sink kept where the drain is. A plaster or metal hood replaces the carved one.

A second project we build here is the working pantry: the walk-in or butler's pantry becomes a scullery with a second sink, a second dishwasher, and counter space, so the main kitchen stays clean when the house is full. In Lake Pointe the moves are structural first: arch squared or beam set, bar cut off the island, pantry squared. Outdoor kitchens on the existing covered patio round out a lot of Bee Cave kitchen remodels.

Kitchen remodels that move plumbing, gas, structure, or circuits are permitted through the City of Bee Cave, and we handle drawings, filing, and inspections. Some addresses with a Bee Cave mailing address are in unincorporated Travis County or the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction, so we confirm which before filing. Spanish Oaks has an architectural control committee and gate procedures for contractors, Falconhead and Lake Pointe have HOAs with work-hour rules, and an outdoor kitchen or new hood vent on the exterior usually needs their review.

Bee Cave is out Highway 71 from the Austin stone yards and cabinet shops, and most of these neighborhoods are gated, so we register crews, schedule deliveries for the morning, and stage stone so nothing waits at a gate. Custom cabinetry carries 8 to 12 weeks of lead time. Construction runs 6 to 10 weeks, and travertine removal is accounted for in the schedule. Price is fixed in writing before demo.
