Our team provides library and study built-ins, delivering estate-scale storage for homes and precise, dependable millwork for both residential and commercial projects. Nothing is built until you approve our shop drawings, and our own installers take the measure, set every box and stand behind the work with a written warranty.
From detailing corbels beneath a Mediterranean hood surround to a whole-estate package spanning kitchen, closets and bar, our team handles every detail. Serving the Barton Creek community, Lakeway and West Lake Hills, we coordinate gate access, your builder's schedule and any committee review so the cabinetry arrives as one finished plan.
Why Austin Elite
No catalogue boxes and no handoffs. The people who measure your room are the people who build and install it.
Barton Creek is a census-designated community about seven miles west of downtown Austin, reached by Barton Creek Boulevard off Bee Cave Road and bordered by Barton Creek and Southwest Parkway. It was founded in 1985 as a master-planned luxury community built around Barton Creek Country Club, and the Omni Barton Creek Resort and Spa there offers four championship courses: Fazio Foothills, Fazio Canyons, Coore Crenshaw and Palmer Lakeside. It has grown into sixteen gated neighborhoods, with lots of one to five acres and homes from about 2,500 to more than 16,000 square feet.
Most of the housing here was built in 2000 or later, so a Barton Creek cabinet job is rarely about rescuing a worn-out kitchen. It is about building to the level of the house, whether that means a new estate under construction, a kitchen that no longer suits a newer owner, or a room that was never finished to its potential.
Barton Creek mixes contemporary and modern homes, Mediterranean-inspired villas, traditional estates and Hill Country contemporary designs set into the canyon landscape. Each one asks for a different kind of cabinetry.
These kitchens call for furniture-grade work: glazed or hand-rubbed finishes, carved corbels under a range hood, turned legs or bracket feet at an island, and a hood surround that reads as the room's centerpiece. Face-frame construction with inset or framed doors fits the look.
Formal kitchens and libraries suit raised or framed door profiles in stained cherry or maple, with crown molding carried to the ceiling and matching panels on appliances.
Frameless, European-style boxes with slab doors keep long runs clean and let a wall of glass and the view beyond it take the attention. Tight, even reveals matter more here than ornament, and 35 mm European cup hinges with six-way adjustment let us set every door gap true.
At estate scale, the kitchen is often the smallest part of the cabinet package. The rooms that tend to sit alongside it in a house of this size:
Drawing these rooms on one set of shop drawings lets a single species, finish and door profile run through the house, or lets each room carry its own character on purpose.
A large share of Barton Creek was built in the 2000s, and a kitchen from those years is now old enough that its finishes, hardware and layout can feel out of step with the rest of an updated estate, even though the boxes themselves are often sound. That opens options a fully worn-out kitchen does not have:
We open the boxes at the design visit and tell you which of these your kitchen can support.
Barton Creek is not one association but several property owners associations, each with its own architectural control structure and strict standards. In Barton Creek North, every project, from new construction and additions to landscape and lighting changes, goes through the Master Architectural Control Committee's design review. In Barton Creek Southwest, the Architectural Control Committee inspects erosion control and construction fencing before any clearing begins. Across the community, new construction and changes to a home's exterior must be approved in advance by the committee for that association.
Interior cabinetry in an existing home usually sits outside that review, but it lands inside it the moment a remodel touches the exterior, such as a new window over the sink or a hood vent through the roof. On new construction, cabinets are part of a build that has already been through review. Either way, we supply drawings early and work to your builder's and your association's rules, and we arrange gate access for each measure, delivery and install day ahead of time.
A Barton Creek cabinet package can run from one kitchen to a dozen rooms, so there is no honest single number to publish. These are the drivers:
You get a written figure once we have measured the house or reviewed the plans, starting with a free in-home measure.
The process
We walk the house, or the plans if it is still under construction, and talk through every room in scope, the architecture and how you live in the house.
You see door samples in the chosen species and finish, then receive shop drawings with elevations for every wall, including hood surrounds and furniture details. Nothing is built until you sign them.
The cabinetry is built to the approved drawings, delivered on scheduled days with gate access arranged, and installed by the same people who measured. We fit, level and adjust everything, then walk each room with you before handover. Barton Creek addresses fall in ZIP 78735, a short drive out Bee Cave Road for our crew.
Questions
It depends on how many rooms are in the package, linear footage, box construction, door style, species and finish, carved or glazed detail, specialty interiors and whether it is a remodel or new build. We give a written figure after a free in-home measure or a plan review.
Interior cabinetry usually does not change a home's exterior, but anything that does, such as a new window or exterior vent, needs advance approval from your association's architectural control committee. Rules differ by association, so check with yours before work starts.
Yes. We review the architect's plans early, draw every cabinet room, and take a site measure once the walls are in so the cabinetry fits the house as built.
Yes. At estate scale these rooms are often a larger share of the work than the kitchen, and we draw them on the same set of shop drawings.
It depends on the number of rooms, the finish work involved and, on new construction, the builder's schedule. You get delivery dates when you approve the shop drawings.
Yes. We serve the Barton Creek community in ZIP 78735, including its gated sections, and arrange gate access for each visit in advance.
Each installation is covered by a written warranty, which we walk through at the design visit.
Texas has no state contractor licence for cabinetry. The useful checks are your association's approval where it applies and a certificate of insurance, which you should ask to see from any cabinet company before work begins.
We tour every room in scope, measure or review plans, discuss architecture, finishes and storage, and bring door samples. Shop drawings follow for your approval before anything is built.
