Premier Home Remodeling Services in Austin, TX

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the "RB Way" and how does your design-build process work?

The RB Way is our signature, start-to-finish remodeling process that guides you seamlessly from vision to completion. We begin with an initial walkthrough and discovery session, then move into design, permitting, construction, and final walkthrough. Because we’re a design-build firm, you’ll have one integrated team and a single point of contact the entire way—no hand-offs, no confusion, and no detail lost in translation.

We specialize in comprehensive home transformations, including: 

  • Whole-home remodels 
  • Additions (garage conversions, ADUs, sunrooms) 
  • Kitchens and bathrooms 
  • Outdoor living spaces (decks, porches, patios, pools, landscaping) 
  • Accessory structures (guest houses, studios, pool houses, entertainment units) 
  • Exterior improvements (roofing, siding, windows, doors) 


Our integrated design-build approach means we manage everything—from concept and design to construction and finishing—under one roof.

Yes, we focus on substantial projects rather than small-scope work. Our projects typically start at $50,000 and up. We’ve found this allows us to deliver the comprehensive, high-quality transformations our clients expect. We don’t take on partial remodels, handyman jobs, single-fixture installations, or small guest bathroom updates.

As a women, minority, and LGBTQ+ owned business, we bring diverse perspectives and creative, out-of-the-box thinking to every project. Our boutique approach means personalized attention that mass-market builders cannot match. We specialize in preserving your home’s soul and character while enhancing functionality with modern touches. Our concierge service and integrated design-build process dramatically reduces stress by providing a single point of contact throughout your entire project.

We serve Austin and the surrounding Central Texas area. Since our founding, we’ve completed over 150 successful transformations throughout the region. Our team is familiar with local building codes, permit requirements, and architectural styles across various Austin neighborhoods.

Your project will be handled by our integrated team of administrative, design, and construction professionals who share a unified mission. You’ll have a dedicated project manager as your single point of contact throughout the entire process. Our award-winning team works collaboratively to ensure every aspect of your project receives the boutique-level attention it deserves, with founders Michelle and Kristen remaining involved in quality oversight.

Transparent communication is central to our process. You’ll have a single point of contact throughout your entire project who provides regular updates on progress, timeline, and any decisions needed. We utilize a client portal where you can access project documents, see progress photos, approve selections, and communicate with your team. We schedule regular check-in meetings and are always available to address questions or concerns.

Our initial consultation is a collaborative conversation where we listen to your needs, discuss your vision, and assess your space. We’ll walk through your home together, take measurements and photos, and discuss preliminary budget considerations. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions about our process and experience. Following this meeting, we’ll provide a proposal that outlines potential design directions, estimated timeline, and budget ranges. There’s no obligation, but this consultation helps us both determine if we’re the right fit for your project.

Absolutely. We specialize in large-scale, integrated projects that include full remodels and additions. Our design-build approach ensures all moving parts are managed cohesively, so the transition from old to new is smooth. Whether you’re expanding the footprint or reimagining what’s already there, we deliver a unified, elevated result. You won’t need multiple contractors as we do it all under one thoughtful roof.

We pride themselves on realistic scheduling, proactive communication, and smart planning. If you’re working toward a move-in date, family milestone, or seasonal deadline, we will factor that into the scope of work from the start. We don’t overpromise but we do deliver with precision and care. Our goal is to keep your project moving forward without compromising quality.

You’ll work with our dedicated, in-house team throughout the process. While we do bring in vetted trade partners when needed, Remodel Boutique maintains tight oversight and coordination every step of the way. Our clients appreciate the consistency, transparency, and rapport that comes from working with one trusted group. It is part of our boutique approach—personal, polished, and always aligned.

We tailor client involvement to your preferences and availability. We handle all the complex details, but we do need your input at key decision points particularly during the design phase and for material selections. We structure these decisions to avoid overwhelming you. Basecamp, our online portal makes it easy to review progress and make decisions on your schedule, and we’re always available to provide guidance when needed.

Yes! Remodel Boutique has been featured in Austin Home, Tribeza, and other design publications, and was a 2025 and 2022 National NARI Remodeler of the Year award winner. Our work is regularly recognized for both its design-forward approach and our process-driven execution.

Absolutely. As part of our comprehensive design-build approach, we handle all permitting, code compliance, and inspection scheduling. Our team is well-versed in Austin’s building regulations and has established relationships with local permitting offices. We prepare and submit all required documentation, coordinate inspections at appropriate construction phases, and address any compliance questions that arise. This removes a significant burden from homeowners and ensures your project proceeds legally and safely, with all proper approvals in place.

Yes, interior design is an integral part of our comprehensive design-build approach. Our in-house design capabilities include space planning, material selection, color consultation, lighting design, and fixture selection.

Yes. Every Remodel Boutique project includes a warranty period for peace of mind. We stand by our work and remain available for support even after your project is complete.

Timelines vary based on scope. A kitchen remodel may take 8–12 weeks, while whole-home projects or additions can take several months. During the planning phase, we’ll provide a detailed schedule tailored to your project.

Most of our clients come to us without finalized plans, and in those cases we guide them through our design-build process—from concept and design through construction and warranty. This gives you one integrated team managing every detail. 

Some clients already have architectural or designer plans in hand. In those cases, we serve as the general contractor and project manager, bringing your plans to life with our construction team and in-house designers ensuring everything runs smoothly. We also step in to help fill gaps, coordinate vendors, and manage procurement. 

Either way, you get the Remodel Boutique concierge approach: clear communication, cohesive execution, and a team fully invested in your home’s success.
