Austin kitchen and bath contractor since 2009. We hand you the itemized quote before we start, and we don't change it unless you change the scope.
Get My Free Estimate See Recent ProjectsWe're a licensed general contractor. Our own crews handle carpentry, tile, paint and finish work — we don't subcontract the core trades out.
Our most requested project. Layout changes, cabinetry, counters, backsplash and appliance hookup handled start to finish.
Small footprints that need to work harder. Waterproofing is done to code, every time — it's the one thing we don't cut corners on.
Older Austin homes — 1920s bungalows through 1970s ranch — often need wiring, plumbing and layout addressed together. That's a single-phase project.
When you need more space rather than different space. Includes plan review, foundation work and HOA coordination where required.
Most of our clients know on day one exactly what their project will cost. That is the entire point.
We measure, look at what's behind the walls where it matters, and listen to how you actually use the space. No charge, no obligation, 45–60 minutes.
Within 48 hours you get a line-by-line quote — labor by trade, materials by line item, allowances stated plainly. This price is what you sign.
Fixed start and finish dates, a photo update every Friday, and a direct line to your project lead. Change orders are only ever signed by you, never added to your bill.
We walk it with you item by item against the original scope. Punch list gets closed before final payment. Two-year workmanship warranty included.
Real jobs, real numbers. We can give you references for any of these on request.
Removed a 1980s peninsula layout and opened the kitchen to the living room. Full electrical reroute for two new appliance circuits.
Converted a 1984 primary bath into a walk-in wet room with curbless shower. Re-framed the wall to accept a linear drain and added a wall-hung vanity.
Converted a detached single-car garage into a home office with a small bath. Required engineered beam work and a city variance — both handled by us.
92% of our work comes from referrals or past clients. These are three of them.
Two other contractors gave us vague quotes. Hartwell gave us a line-by-line one and stuck to it. We were told the job would take six weeks and it took six weeks. That alone was worth choosing them.
I'm an engineer and I read the quote line by line. It was the only one where the electrical allowance actually matched what my old wiring needed — no padding anywhere. They flagged two things I hadn't even thought about before we signed.
What sold me was the Friday photo update. Every week I could see exactly what had been done and what was next. No chasing anyone for answers. At the end they walked me through everything against the original scope.
Based in South Austin. If your city isn't listed, ask — we travel for the right project.
We reply within one business day. If it's straightforward, we can often quote from photos without a site visit.
