I am looking for a contractor to renovate a kitchen area and a bathroom area in Austin not too far from the Domain area. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Same. Im in same boat same area. I've only ever gotten names of who not to use - nobody has had a good experience.

MHM Remodeling. He just completed a four week remodel of my master bathroom. He did a great job, his contractors were great, and he finished when he said he would (4 weeks). He only takes on about 10 projects a year, so I am guessing he could be booked up for a while

I plan to use him again next year for the guest bathroom remodel.

Highly recommended W Homes Collective.

I'm good friends with the owners and worked with them in a previous life before they went out in their own.

Longbow does a lot of work in our area, not far from the Domain. I've engaged them for a potential reno, but have no direct first hand experience with them other than phone calls.

How big was the project and what did he charge for labor?

We've contracted with T.A. Todd Construction out of Georgetown on a kitchen remodel (we're in Leander). So far we're pleased with how communicative they are and how promptly they reply and show up for appointments - which aligns nicely with what their references said. Demo of the existing kitchen starts at the end of the month. They expect the project to take 90 days. They did apologize to my wife for how expensive the quote was. Said it would been about half the cost before Covid. After it's all said and done, I expect it will cost about $100k. Guh!

Removing and replacing (slightly reconfiguring) all the cabinets, all new countertops, removal of a soffit, removing/replacing an island, new 36" induction range, requisite plumbing and electrical, and all new lighting. We'll end up replacing all the tile in the kitchen and adjoining dining and great rooms, too. I'll try to remember to update this post with pictures.

We used T. A. Todd too. They remodeled our kitchen and bathrooms last year. Solid organization. Excellent workmanship. Communicate clearly. No surprises.

Our kitchen remodel (+) is done. The + is we decided to do the tile in our living room and dining room, too.

Here's what we started with:

Pretty classic 1980s style. Early in the process we had a pretty significant failure:

It's a steel frame construction house. Turns out the builder used aluminum 2"x4"s everywhere. Even when the span dictated something bigger. It's a one story house so the entire ceiling above the kitchen and dining room ended up being removed and rebuilt. The structural engineer said the length of the kitchen and dining room combined dictated 2"x18" beams and 2"x6"s across. It's rock solid now. Luckily this happened really early in the process.

Like I said, we replaced the tile in the living room, dining room, kitchen, and utility room. Removing all that tile created more dust then I have ever seen in my whole life. We're still cleaning it up in places.

The end result is pretty awesome. We're very happy with the way it all came out. It was more than expected (all the tile and rebuilding the dining room/kitchen ceiling added a bit) and took a month longer than originally projected (which considering everything isn't a bad deal). It's like we have a brand new house and we didn't have to move.

Super impressed with TA Todd and all their subcontractors. Great tile, mechanical (Casa Mechanical is my new AC company), plumbing, paint, and custom cabinets. Really couldn't be happier with the outcome and can say we'd recommend TA Todd to anyone considering a remodel.
