Stock Cabinets vs. Full Custom
Cabinet choice is the single biggest variable in a kitchen remodel. Here’s how the two ends of the spectrum compare.
- Stock and semi-custom cabinets are available in standard sizes and stocked by local suppliers. They install faster, cost significantly less, and come in enough styles and finishes to work well in most kitchens. If your layout is standard and you want a clean, finished result without the custom price tag, semi-custom is usually the right call.
- Full-custom cabinets are built to your exact dimensions and specifications. Every inch is designed intentionally — unusual angles, specific heights, deep pantries, custom pull-outs. They take longer to fabricate, cost significantly more, and deliver a result you can't replicate with off-the-shelf options.
What Affects the Cost of a Kitchen Remodel
Kitchen remodels in Central Texas range from around $18,000 for a smaller refresh up to $100,000 or more for a full, high-end renovation. Cabinet type is the single biggest variable. Custom cabinetry can cost 1.4x or more compared to semi-custom options, and that difference compounds across a full kitchen.
Size plays a big role too. A small galley kitchen and a large open-plan kitchen with an island involve very different amounts of labor, materials, and installation time. Layout changes add cost quickly — moving the sink, relocating the range, or reconfiguring an island requires rough plumbing and electrical work before any visible finishes go in.
Appliance selections vary enormously. A standard range and refrigerator package sits at a very different price point than a professional-grade suite. And finish level ties it all together — countertop material, hardware, backsplash, and flooring all follow a similar pattern: budget, mid-range, and premium options exist at each step, and the total reflects the combination you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen Remodeling Costs
Gill Construction has done kitchen remodels anywhere from $18,000 on the low end up to $100,000+ for a full, high-end renovation. The final cost depends on scope of work, materials selected, and the size of the kitchen.
For a smaller, more basic kitchen refresh, Gill Construction can typically complete the project in 2 to 3 weeks. For a full kitchen remodel, the timeline is usually 6 to 8 weeks from start to finish. Custom cabinet orders can add lead time before demo begins, so the earlier you lock in selections, the smoother the schedule.
Usually yes, if the project involves plumbing, electrical, or structural changes. Gill Construction handles permitting as part of the job. We pull the required permits and schedule inspections so you’re covered throughout the project.
A partial kitchen remodel replaces specific components — typically cabinets, countertops, or appliances — while keeping the existing layout. A full remodel tears everything out and often reconfigures the space. Full remodels cost more but give you complete control over the finished kitchen.
Cabinet costs vary significantly by type. Stock cabinets typically run $3,000 to $8,000 for a standard kitchen. Semi-custom cabinets range from $8,000 to $20,000. Full-custom cabinets can cost $25,000 or more depending on scope, layout complexity, and the level of customization involved.
Refacing makes sense if your cabinet boxes are structurally sound and you mainly want a cosmetic change. It costs less than replacement but limits your options — you keep the same layout, box sizes, and door configuration. If you want to reconfigure your kitchen or the existing cabinets are damaged, replacement is the better long-term choice.
Every quote breaks down labor, materials, scope of work, and any variables identified during the walkthrough. You see the full picture before we start — no hidden costs and no surprises mid-project.
Yes. We work with owner-supplied materials regularly. Just note that labor warranty does not cover owner-supplied materials, and we’ll need lead times and specs before scheduling demo and installation to avoid gaps in the project timeline.
