South Austin kitchen remodels
Bailey & Bear remodels kitchens across South Austin — Bouldin Creek, Travis Heights, South Congress (SoCo), Zilker, and the 78704 area. South Austin runs from 1920s–40s bungalows to mid-century ranches to new builds — each needs a different touch, and we've done all three.

Most South Austin kitchen remodels run $30,000–$80,000 — about $150–$250 per square foot. Older bungalows in 78704 sometimes need electrical, plumbing, or leveling updates that a newer home wouldn't; we scope that honestly before quoting.

The older housing stock south of the river — Bouldin, Travis Heights, Dawson — often means smaller original kitchens, knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, and cast-iron plumbing that's worth addressing during a remodel. We open up cramped galley layouts, add real storage, and bring the systems up to code.
In newer South Austin builds we focus on finishes, islands, and layout upgrades. Either way you get a licensed, insured crew and a firm schedule.
