Timeless Home Remodeling Services in Austin Metro Area

Your family has outgrown the closed-off floor plan. The kitchen that worked perfectly a decade ago now feels cramped when you're trying to cook and help with homework. Your master bathroom lacks the spa-like retreat you've been dreaming about. Unlike a room addition that extends your foundation and adds square footage, strategic home improvement transforms your existing space into exactly what you need, without the expense and disruption of building outward.

Seven Custom Homes' integrated design-build approach eliminates the finger-pointing between architects and contractors that plague traditional home renovation projects. Our proprietary AI-powered software tracks every phase in real-time, identifying potential delays before they occur and keeping your project on schedule and within budget. Most whole-home remodeling projects complete 3-4 months faster than traditional approaches.

About Our Home Improvement Services

Home renovation represents a complete transformation of your existing living space, changing layouts, updating systems, and reimagining how rooms function. When you're moving walls to create an open-concept kitchen, converting a dated master suite into a luxury retreat, or completely reimagining your home's interior flow, you're undertaking a remodel that requires structural expertise, permit management, and seamless coordination across multiple trades.

Seven Custom Homes serves luxury homeowners throughout the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metropolitan area who refuse to settle for cookie-cutter solutions. Since 2007, we've completed home renovations valued at over $500 million, each one reflecting our mastery of transforming existing residences into bespoke living environments. Our clients choose home improvement over additions when they want to maximize the potential of their current footprint rather than extend their foundation and roof systems.

Every residential renovation begins with understanding how you actually live in your home. Our design-build process integrates architectural vision with construction reality from day one, eliminating the costly change orders and timeline delays that occur when design and build operate as separate silos. From the initial concept through final walkthrough, you work with one unified team that's accountable for both design excellence and construction quality.

Whole-Home Remodeling

Whole-home renovation transforms every major living space within your existing structure, creating a cohesive design that flows seamlessly from room to room. This comprehensive approach makes sense when your home's original layout no longer serves your lifestyle, when multiple spaces need updates simultaneously, or when you're preparing to age in place for decades to come.

Our design-build team reconfigures floor plans to create open-concept great rooms, relocates kitchens to capture better natural light, and reimagines traffic flow throughout the home. We upgrade electrical panels to support modern smart home technology, replace outdated HVAC systems with efficient zoned heating and cooling, and bring all plumbing up to current code standards. Every finish, from wide-plank hardwood floors to custom millwork, gets specified for both beauty and durability.

The advantage of whole-home improvement over phased renovations? We complete all structural work, rough-in systems, and finish carpentry in one coordinated project. You live through construction disruption once rather than enduring multiple rounds of contractors. Plus, ordering materials in larger quantities often reduces per-square-foot costs compared to tackling rooms individually.

Kitchen Remodeling

Kitchen renovation delivers the highest impact of any residential remodeling project because this space serves as the functional and social heart of luxury homes. Whether you're reconfiguring the layout for better workflow, expanding to accommodate a large island with seating, or completely reimagining the aesthetic, kitchen improvements require coordinating multiple trades and managing complex timelines for custom cabinetry and countertop fabrication.

We redesign kitchens around how you actually cook and entertain. Professional-grade appliances require upgraded electrical circuits and proper ventilation systems. Large islands need structural support and careful planning for plumbing, electrical outlets, and proper overhang for comfortable seating. Custom cabinetry gets designed for your specific storage needs, not generic layouts that waste space.

The renovation process involves gutting the existing kitchen to studs, relocating plumbing and gas lines as needed, upgrading electrical service, and installing new lighting on separate circuits for task, ambient, and accent illumination. We manage lead times for custom elements like imported tile, hand-crafted range hoods, and premium appliances to ensure everything arrives when needed.

Bathroom Remodeling

Bathroom renovation transforms outdated powder rooms and master baths into spa-like retreats with modern fixtures, luxury finishes, and improved functionality. These spaces see the heaviest daily use in your home, making quality materials and expert installation critical for long-term performance. Poor waterproofing or inadequate ventilation in bathroom improvements leads to mold, rot, and expensive repairs within just a few years.

Our team completely waterproofs shower enclosures using proper membrane systems, slopes floors correctly for drainage, and installs exhaust fans sized for the cubic footage of the space. We relocate plumbing as needed to accommodate double vanities or freestanding tubs, add separate water closets for privacy, and install heated floors in master bathrooms. Every finish selection, from slip-resistant tile to moisture-resistant paint, gets specified for bathroom environments.

Master bathroom remodeling often involves expanding into adjacent closets or bedrooms to create the spa-like square footage today's homeowners expect. Guest bath improvements focus on maximizing functionality in compact footprints while making bold design statements with tile, fixtures, and lighting.

Why Choose Seven Custom Homes for Home Renovation?

1
AI-Powered Project Management Eliminates Timeline Delays
Our proprietary software analyzes real-time data across all renovation phases, predicting potential schedule conflicts before they impact your timeline. The system tracks material lead times, coordinates multiple trade schedules, and alerts our team to address issues immediately. This technology-driven approach means your residential remodeling project completes an average of 3-4 months faster than traditional contractor timelines, with fewer change orders and budget overruns.
2
Design-Build Process Eliminates Contractor Finger-Pointing
When architects and contractors operate separately, homeowners get caught in the middle when designs prove unbuildable or costs exceed budgets. Our integrated design-build team works together from initial concepts through construction, ensuring every design decision accounts for structural reality, building codes, and cost implications. One team, one contract, one point of accountability for your complete home improvement project.
3
Licensed In-House Structural Engineering
Unlike general contractors who subcontract engineering work, Seven Custom Homes employs licensed structural engineers on staff. Before removing any walls or making layout changes, our engineers evaluate your existing foundation and framing, calculate load requirements, and design proper support systems. This eliminates the costly surprises that plague most renovation projects when contractors discover structural issues mid-construction.
4
Transparent Pricing Before Construction Begins
Our detailed proposals itemize every aspect of your residential remodeling project, from demolition through final paint. You'll see exactly what each element costs, making it easy to adjust finishes or scope if needed to meet budget targets. No vague allowances or surprise charges when you select fixtures. The price we quote during design is the price you pay at completion, backed by our contract.
5
Luxury Finish Expertise for Seamless Results
The difference between good and exceptional home improvement shows in the finish details, perfectly mitered trim, flawlessly installed tile with minimal grout lines, cabinet doors that close with precision. Our craftsmen average 15+ years specializing in luxury residential remodeling, where tolerances matter and attention to detail separates mediocre from masterful. We don't move to the next phase until current work passes our quality standards.
6
Complete Permit Management and Code Compliance
Home renovation in Travis County, Hays County, and surrounding areas requires navigating complex building codes and permit requirements. Our team handles all permitting paperwork, schedules required inspections, and ensures every aspect of your project meets or exceeds current code standards. You won't spend hours at the permitting office or risk failed inspections that delay your project timeline.

Complete Custom Home Services in Greater Austin

Seven Custom Homes delivers comprehensive residential construction services throughout the Austin metro area. While home renovation transforms your existing space, these related services help you explore every option for creating your ideal living environment.

Custom Home Building

Custom Home Building

When remodeling your existing home won't achieve your vision, custom home construction on your own land offers unlimited design possibilities. Our design-build process creates entirely new residences tailored to your lifestyle, from site selection through final walkthrough. Unlike home improvement projects constrained by existing structure, custom building lets you control every architectural detail, room size, and finish selection.

Home Additions

Home Additions

Adding square footage extends your home's footprint when remodeling existing space can't provide the additional rooms you need. Room additions require extending your foundation, roof, and all major systems, more complex than interior renovation but less expensive than building new construction. We design additions that architecturally integrate with your existing home, appearing as original construction rather than obvious add-ons.

Room Additions

Strategic room additions create specific new spaces, a home office, guest suite, or expanded family room, without undertaking a complete home addition project. These targeted expansions add functionality exactly where needed while maintaining your home's existing character. Our team matches architectural details, materials, and finishes so seamlessly that visitors can't identify where original construction ends and additions begin.

Design and Build

Design and Build

Our integrated design-build approach streamlines every residential construction project by unifying architectural design and construction management under one contract. Whether planning home renovation, additions, or ground-up custom building, you work with one cohesive team throughout the process.

Our Home Renovation Process

1
Initial Design Consultation
Your residential remodeling project begins with an in-depth consultation at your home. Our design-build team evaluates your existing space, discusses your lifestyle needs and aesthetic preferences, and identifies any structural considerations that will impact design options. We'll photograph existing conditions, take detailed measurements, and begin conceptualizing how to transform your space. Most importantly, we'll establish a realistic budget range based on your scope and finish expectations, no surprises later.
2
Design Development and Engineering
Our architects develop detailed plans showing new layouts, updated systems, and finish selections while our structural engineers evaluate load-bearing walls, foundation capacity, and framing requirements. You'll review 3D renderings that show exactly how your renovated spaces will look and feel. During this phase, we refine every detail, from cabinet configurations to lighting placement, and provide itemized pricing so you understand costs before signing a contract.
3
Permitting and Pre-Construction
Seven Custom Homes handles all permit applications, engineering stamps, and code compliance documentation required by local building departments. We order long-lead materials like custom cabinetry and schedule our craftsmen to ensure continuity throughout construction. Before demolition begins, we establish protection protocols for areas remaining undisturbed and discuss how we'll minimize disruption to your daily routine.
4
Demolition and Structural Work
Home improvement begins with carefully removing existing finishes, cabinetry, and fixtures while protecting your home's structure and remaining spaces. Our crews install temporary supports before removing walls, then construct new framing, install engineered beams as needed, and make any foundation repairs identified during engineering review. This phase moves quickly but requires precision, your home's structural integrity depends on expert execution.
5
Rough-In Systems Installation
Licensed electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians install new systems or relocate existing rough-in work to support your new layout. We upgrade electrical panels when needed to handle increased loads, install proper waterproofing in bathrooms, and ensure all work meets current code requirements for safety and performance. Inspections occur throughout this phase to verify code compliance before covering walls.
6
Finish Carpentry and Installation
The transformation becomes visible as we install custom cabinetry, hang drywall, complete tile work, install hardwood flooring, and execute all finish carpentry. Our craftsmen maintain the meticulous attention to detail that defines Seven Custom Homes' reputation, tight miters, level tile layouts, smooth paint finishes. We coordinate delivery and installation of appliances, plumbing fixtures, and lighting to prevent damage during construction.
7
Final Walkthrough and Quality Verification
Before considering any home renovation project complete, our team conducts a comprehensive quality inspection addressing every detail. You'll join us for a final walkthrough where we demonstrate how systems operate, address any remaining punch-list items, and ensure you're completely satisfied with the transformation. We don't request final payment until you confirm everything meets Seven Custom Homes' standards, and yours.

Common Home Remodeling Challenges We Solve

Outdated Closed Floor Plans

Outdated Closed Floor Plans

Homes built before 2000 typically feature compartmentalized layouts with separate, closed-off rooms that don't support modern lifestyles. Our design-build team evaluates which walls can be removed, designs proper structural support when removing load-bearing walls, and creates open-concept spaces that flow seamlessly while maintaining proper load transfer to your foundation. The result: spacious, light-filled interiors perfect for family life and entertaining.

Insufficient Kitchen Storage and Workspace

Insufficient Kitchen Storage and Workspace

Original kitchen layouts rarely provide adequate storage for modern homeowners' cookware, small appliances, and pantry items. We reconfigure existing footprints to maximize cabinet capacity, incorporate islands with integrated storage, design custom pantry systems, and create specialized storage for specific needs, wine collections, baking supplies, or small appliance garages. Strategic space planning often yields 40-50% more functional storage within the same square footage.

Outdated Electrical Systems

Outdated Electrical Systems

Older homes can't support modern electrical demands, whole-home audio systems, smart home devices, kitchen appliances, EV chargers, and LED lighting all require upgraded electrical capacity. Our licensed electricians evaluate your panel capacity, install updated wiring throughout renovated spaces, add circuits as needed, and ensure all work meets current National Electrical Code standards. We'll never compromise safety to save costs.

Poor Natural Light and Ventilation

Poor Natural Light and Ventilation

Dark, poorly ventilated spaces feel cramped and uninviting regardless of square footage. Our architectural team identifies opportunities to add windows, install skylights, enlarge existing openings, and reconfigure layouts to maximize natural light penetration. Strategic window placement, combined with updated lighting design, transforms dim rooms into bright, inviting spaces. Proper ventilation planning prevents moisture issues in bathrooms and kitchens.

Failing to Match Existing Materials and Architecture

Failing to Match Existing Materials and Architecture

Nothing signals amateur home renovation like additions or remodeling work that looks obviously different from original construction. Seven Custom Homes matches architectural details, sources materials that coordinate seamlessly with existing finishes, and ensures new work integrates flawlessly with your home's original character. Our finish carpenters recreate trim profiles, match wood species and stains, and maintain consistent proportions throughout.

Bathroom Waterproofing Failures

Bathroom Waterproofing Failures

Improper waterproofing in bathroom remodeling leads to mold, rot, and structural damage within just a few years, expensive failures that require complete demolition and reconstruction. We install proper waterproof membranes on all shower walls and floors, slope bases correctly for drainage, use moisture-resistant materials throughout, and install adequate ventilation. Twenty years from now, your bathroom renovation will perform as beautifully as the day we completed it.

Permit Delays and Code Violations

Permit Delays and Code Violations

Renovation projects that proceed without proper permits risk stop-work orders, failed inspections, and difficulty selling your home later. Seven Custom Homes manages all permitting requirements, schedules required inspections at appropriate construction phases, and ensures every aspect of your residential remodeling meets current building codes. Our established relationships with local building departments streamline the approval process.

Living Through Construction Disruption

Living Through Construction Disruption

Home improvement projects disrupt daily routines, dust, noise, blocked access to spaces, and contractors working throughout your home. Our team establishes clear protection zones, maintains clean job sites, works predictable hours, and communicates proactively about what to expect each day. We minimize inconvenience while maintaining the production pace needed to complete your project on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Remodeling

Residential remodeling costs vary significantly based on scope, finish selections, and square footage. Luxury home improvement in Greater Austin typically ranges from $150-$400 per square foot for comprehensive renovations including structural changes, system upgrades, and high-end finishes. Kitchen remodeling averages $75,000-$175,000 for complete transformations, while master bathroom renovations range from $45,000-$95,000. 

Whole-home remodeling projects typically start around $250,000. Seven Custom Homes provides detailed, itemized proposals during the design phase so you know exactly what your project will cost before construction begins.

Timeline varies based on project scope and permitting requirements. Kitchen remodeling typically requires 8-12 weeks from demolition through final installation. Master bathroom renovations complete in 6-8 weeks. Whole-home improvement projects that include multiple rooms, structural changes, and system upgrades typically require 4-6 months. 

Seven Custom Homes' AI-powered project management software reduces these timelines by an average of 3-4 months compared to traditional contractor approaches by identifying and resolving scheduling conflicts proactively.

 

Most homeowners remain in their homes during residential remodeling, though it requires careful planning and patience. We establish containment zones to minimize dust and debris in unaffected areas, maintain one functioning bathroom and kitchen area when possible, and schedule work during predictable hours. Whole-home renovations may require temporary relocation if all bathrooms and kitchens must be out of service simultaneously. We'll discuss realistic expectations for living conditions during your initial consultation.

Most home renovation work requires building permits, especially when projects involve structural changes, electrical work, plumbing modifications, or HVAC updates. Travis County, Hays County, and surrounding jurisdictions each maintain specific permitting requirements and code standards. 

Seven Custom Homes handles all permit applications, engineering documentation, and required inspections throughout your project. We ensure complete code compliance so you never face issues when selling your home or making insurance claims.

Even with thorough pre-construction evaluation, home improvement projects sometimes reveal hidden issues, outdated wiring, plumbing leaks, structural damage, or code violations that must be addressed. Our team immediately photographs and documents any unexpected conditions, explains required repairs, and provides transparent pricing for resolving issues. Because Seven Custom Homes employs structural engineers and licensed tradesmen in-house, we resolve problems quickly without the delays common when contractors must source external expertise.

Residential remodeling typically adds 60-80% of project cost to your home's market value in Greater Austin's strong real estate market. Kitchen and bathroom renovations deliver the highest returns, while whole-home improvements that update layouts for modern living significantly enhance marketability. The quality of finishes, permit compliance, and construction craftsmanship all impact resale value. 

Seven Custom Homes' luxury remodeling expertise ensures your investment enhances both your daily enjoyment and your home's eventual sale value.

Our comprehensive home improvement service integrates architectural design, structural engineering, construction management, and all trade work under one contract. You'll receive detailed 3D renderings, complete construction documents, itemized pricing, permit management, project scheduling, material procurement, and quality-verified installation.

Seven Custom Homes provides residential remodeling services throughout the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metropolitan area, including Travis County, Hays County, Williamson County, Bastrop County, and Caldwell County. We serve lakefront communities along Lake Travis and Lake Austin, Texas Hill Country estates in Spicewood and Driftwood, and coastal properties in Port Aransas. 

If you're located in Central Texas or along the Gulf Coast, contact us to discuss your project, we'll let you know if your location falls within our service area.

Home renovation transforms existing square footage by changing layouts, updating systems, and improving functionality, ideal when your current footprint offers adequate space but poor configuration. Room additions extend your home's footprint when you need more square footage for growing families or new purposes. 

Remodeling typically costs less and completes faster than additions since you're not extending foundations, roofs, and all systems. During your consultation, our design-build team will evaluate both options and recommend the approach that best achieves your goals within your budget.

Unlike general contractors who manage subcontractors, Seven Custom Homes employs licensed structural engineers, master electricians, plumbers, and craftsmen on staff. Our proprietary AI-powered software manages timelines and budgets in real-time, completing projects months faster than traditional approaches. 

The integrated design-build process eliminates the finger-pointing between architects and contractors that plague traditionally-bid projects.
