Our team provides plywood cabinet boxes with solid wood face frames where a traditional house calls for them, delivering lasting kitchens for homes and tailored storage for both residential and commercial projects. Every job starts with an in-home measure taken by our own installers, and nothing reaches the shop until you have signed off on the drawings, with a written warranty behind the finished work.
From setting base cabinets dead level on an old ranch floor that has settled out of true to a whole-house cabinetry package for a rebuilt lot, our team handles every detail. Serving Rollingwood, West Lake Hills and Sunset Valley, we keep the measure, the drawings and the install days on one plan that fits the city's weekday construction hours.
Why Austin Elite
No catalogue boxes and no handoffs. The people who measure your room are the people who build and install it.
Rollingwood began in 1946, when A.B. and George Hatley bought 300 acres of the old Dellana ranch and divided it into home lots. The houses that first went up there were modest ranch homes, and a large share of the city's housing still dates from before 1990. Today those same streets carry two very different cabinet jobs side by side, often on neighboring lots.
When an owner keeps the house, the job is usually a full replacement rather than a refresh. A kitchen laid out for a smaller household decades ago rarely suits the way a family cooks now, and if the original boxes are particleboard, any leak under the sink has swollen them in a way that does not reverse. We take the old run out, check the walls and floor, and build new boxes to the room you actually have rather than the room the plans say you have.
When the lot is being rebuilt, cabinets become one package inside a larger construction schedule. We start from the architect's plans early, then confirm every opening with a site measure once drywall is up, because a plan dimension and a finished wall rarely agree. That second measure is what lets a tall pantry wall or a hood surround close tight to the ceiling without a gap to caulk.
Rollingwood's 2022 Comprehensive Plan describes a city where traditional homes, renovations that keep the original architecture, contemporary builds and new construction all share the same blocks. That mix is why we never start a Rollingwood kitchen from a catalog look. The door style has to answer to the house it hangs in.
We show you each option against your own floor plan and your own daylight before anything is drawn in detail.
Rollingwood processes every residential permit through My Government Online, and an interior remodel has its own permit category there. The city limits construction and demolition to weekdays between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., with no work on weekends or city holidays. Inspections are performed by ATS Engineers and must be called in before 4:00 p.m. to be scheduled for the next day.
For a cabinet job, those rules shape the calendar more than most owners expect. Tear-out, delivery and installation all have to fit inside weekday hours, so we set the install days around them from the first meeting instead of discovering them mid-project. When a kitchen also involves moved plumbing or new circuits, we sequence delivery after the rough-in inspections those trades need, so finished boxes never sit in a room that still has open walls.
We do not publish a price, because two Rollingwood kitchens of the same size can land far apart. These are the factors that move the number:
On a teardown rebuild, demolition falls off the list and coordination with the builder's schedule takes its place. The only accurate figure comes from a free in-home measure, and that is where every Rollingwood project with us begins.
The process
We come to the house, measure every wall, window and utility location, and talk through how you use the room. For a rebuild, we meet you or your builder with the current plans in hand.
You receive drawings showing every box, door and drawer, with elevations for each wall. Nothing is cut until you sign them, which is the point where changes are free and easy.
The boxes are built to the approved drawings, delivered on a weekday that fits the city's hours, and set by the same people who measured. We level and fasten each box, hang and adjust the doors, and walk the finished room with you before we call it done.
A rebuilt Rollingwood house usually asks for cabinetry in more rooms than the original ranch had. Rollingwood sits inside the Eanes Independent School District, and households with school-age children tend to want a mudroom drop zone by the garage door as much as a new kitchen. Other rooms we build for here:
Many Rollingwood owners search for Westlake or Austin rather than the city's own name. The ZIP is 78746, the city sits about three miles west of downtown near Loop 360, and it is one of the shortest drives on our service map.
Questions
It depends on linear footage, plywood or particleboard boxes, door style, inset or overlay, species and finish, hardware, and how much demolition the old kitchen needs. A teardown rebuild drops the demolition but adds builder coordination. We give a written figure after a free in-home measure.
Refacing only makes sense when the existing boxes are sound and the layout works. In an older ranch with water-damaged particleboard or a floor plan you want to change, replacement is usually the better spend. We check the boxes at the design visit and tell you which one we would choose.
Build time depends on the door style, finish and amount of custom work, and install time depends on the size of the room and the permit schedule. We give you a delivery date when you approve the shop drawings, and install days are set inside Rollingwood's weekday construction hours.
Yes. Rollingwood, ZIP 78746, is one of the closest cities we serve, and we also cover West Lake Hills, Barton Creek and the other west-side communities on our service area list.
Yes. We review the architect's plans early, price the cabinet package from them, then take a site measure once the walls are up so the finished cabinetry fits the house that was actually built.
The city lists interior remodels as a permit category and processes applications through My Government Online. Whether your project needs one depends on its scope, especially moved plumbing or electrical work, so confirm with the city's development services before work starts. We supply cabinet drawings for the application.
Every installation is covered by a written warranty. We go through what it covers at the design visit, before you commit to anything.
Texas does not issue a statewide contractor licence for cabinet work, so the meaningful checks are the city permit where one applies and a certificate of insurance. Ask any cabinet company, including us, to show that certificate at the design visit.
We measure the room, note plumbing, gas and electrical locations, look at the condition of the walls and floor, and talk through style, storage and budget. You then receive shop drawings to review before anything is built.
