Quick answer
Who designs and builds high-end kitchens in San Antonio?
Lifestyle Remodeling LLC designs and builds high-end kitchen remodels in San Antonio, Boerne and the Texas Hill Country, from open layouts and custom cabinetry to new lighting and plumbing plans. One team plans every detail before demolition, so you get a kitchen built around how you cook and gather, every selection made before demolition, and far fewer surprises once construction starts.

- Best for: Complete kitchen remodels with layout changes, custom cabinetry and new lighting and plumbing plans.

Our 8-Step Design-Build Process
- Property Walkthrough & Feasibility
- Project Conception & Scope
- Preliminary Design & Budget Planning
- Establishing the Partnership

- The Construction Phase
- Project Closeout & Handover
Pro tip: Finalize cabinetry and appliance selections before demolition. In most kitchen remodels, lead times, not labor, decide how long you live without a kitchen.
A KITCHEN DECIDED ON PAPER, NOT ON SITE
Every kitchen we build is fully drawn before demolition: cabinet elevations, appliance clearances, lighting plan, plumbing and gas locations, and every finish down to the drawer pulls. Cabinets are the longest lead time and the largest line item, so they are approved and ordered before a single wall comes down.

Three Ways to Remodel a Kitchen in San Antonio
Most of our kitchen projects fall into one of three scopes. Here is what each typically includes, how long it takes once cabinets arrive, and what moves the price.
| Cabinet & counter refresh | Full remodel, same footprint | Open-concept conversion | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Solid layout, dated finishes | A kitchen you want rebuilt without moving walls | Joining kitchen and living space; adding an island |
| Layout | Unchanged | Unchanged; plumbing and electrical stay close to current locations | Walls removed, island added, plumbing, gas and electrical relocated |
| Cabinetry | New custom cabinetry in the existing layout | New custom custom hardwood or painted cabinets to the ceiling | Full custom cabinetry plus island, pantry run and appliance panels |
| Countertops | New honed natural stone on existing base cabinets | Slab natural stone with integrated sink | Slab counters with waterfall or mitered island edges |
| Backsplash | Handmade tile or large-format tile | Handmade tile to the ceiling behind the range | Handmade tile or slab backsplash |
| Floor | Existing floor kept | New tile over an uncoupling membrane or new hardwood | New flooring run continuous into the adjoining room |
| Lighting & electrical | Under-cabinet and pendant updates | New lighting plan, added circuits to code | New lighting plan, panel work, structural beam and engineering where required |
| Construction time | 3 to 5 weeks | 6 to 9 weeks | 10 to 16 weeks |
| What moves the price most | Counter material; hardware | Cabinet species and door style; appliances | Structural work; slab stone; appliance package |

CONCEPT DESIGN FOR YOUR KITCHEN
Every Lifestyle Remodeling LLC project starts with a clear discovery call and on-site walkthrough (when needed). We’ll discuss your goals, cooking habits, storage needs, budget range, and the aesthetic you want to achieve. Then we’ll review inspiration, layout ideas, and finish directions so the project begins with a strong plan—not guesswork.
SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR KITCHEN REMODELING
Next, we translate the concept into a workable layout. Lifestyle Remodeling LLC will outline the flow of the space, key measurements, and major design choices so you can visualize how everything will come together. Once you approve the direction, we move into detailed planning with confidence.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
This is the most detailed phase of your kitchen remodeling in San Antonio. Lifestyle Remodeling LLC turns the approved concept into build-ready plans—covering the exact layout, cabinet configuration, island design, appliance placement, lighting locations, and plumbing points. We refine every detail so there are no surprises once construction starts.
To ensure accuracy, we take precise measurements and finalize countertop selections, backsplash tiles, cabinet finishes, hardware, and overall style direction. You’ll also receive clear visuals (and 3D views when needed) so you can confidently approve how your kitchen will look and function before we move into construction.
CONSTRUCTION DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Once the design is approved, we prepare everything needed for a smooth build, including:
- Final kitchen layout and measurements
- Demo plan (what stays vs. what changes)
- Cabinet layout and installation plan
- Plumbing layout (sink location, dishwasher, gas lines, water lines)
- Electrical and outlet plan (appliances, GFCI, under-cabinet lighting, island outlets)
- Lighting layout (task, ambient, pendant, recessed)
- Countertop and backsplash layout plan
- Finish and fixture specification list (cabinets, hardware, faucets, sink, appliances)
- Flooring details (if changing)
- Final finish schedule and installation notes
Then construction begins, Lifestyle Remodeling LLC can also provide on-site coordination to ensure materials, layout, and details match the approved plan.
Kitchen Remodeling Contractors in San Antonio
Built for the way you actually cook and live
A few years ago, a homeowner near UTSA told us the kitchen was the one room she never wanted to be in. It was too dark, too closed off, and the pantry was across the hall. We removed one wall, added an island with seating, moved the pantry to a full-height cabinet run and put the lighting on three circuits. She now works from the island most mornings. That is the outcome we design for: a kitchen that fits how you live, not a office.
Let's Design Your Kitchen, Together
Materials we specify, and why
Exceptional renovations are mostly what you do not see: the drawer glides, the hinge adjustment, the membrane under the tile. These are the assemblies and finishes we return to in every San Antonio kitchen.
Custom hardwood cabinetry
Custom-built, straight linear grain, inset or full-overlay doors, drawers on undermount soft-close glides.
Honed natural stone
Slab counters with mitered edges and integrated sinks; honed so they read calm, not glossy.
handmade tile backsplash
2x6 and 4x4 in bone, sand and clay tones, run to the ceiling behind the range.
Cabinet hardware that lasts
soft-close hinges and glides, coordinated pulls in one finish.
Islands and natural stone
Islands sized to the room with seating on one side; honed natural stone for hoods and feature walls.
Layered 2700K lighting
Under-cabinet, recessed and pendant lighting on separate dimmers.
Ventilation that works
Ducted range hoods sized to the cooktop, vented outside, quiet at low speed.
an uncoupling membrane floors
Uncoupling membrane under large-format tile or natural stone, over post-tension and clay-soil slabs.

What Problems Kitchen Remodeling Solves
Old Layouts That Don't Work
Many San Antonio homes were built with inefficient kitchen layouts. Our kitchen remodel contractors San Antonio team often redesigns the space so cabinets, counters, and appliances create a better workflow.
Outdated Cabinets and Countertops
Kitchens age quickly. Old cabinets lose functionality, and worn countertops make cooking less enjoyable. Remodeling allows us to upgrade properly, not just patch surface issues.
Poor Lighting and Ventilation
We improve lighting plans and ventilation so kitchens feel brighter and cook smoke clears efficiently.
Safety and Functionality
We install durable flooring, improve electrical systems, and create layouts that work for long-term use.
Finishes That Don’t Last
We specify materials made for daily cooking, heat and moisture: natural stone, solid-wood cabinetry, waterproofing membranes, solid-body fixtures. No builder-grade shortcuts.

We built one of the most stunning kitchens with proper lighting plans and minimal modern designs in San Antonio, TX, and we can do it for you.

FAQs — Kitchen Remodeling San Antonio
It depends on whether the layout changes, the cabinetry you choose and the appliance package. A cabinet-and-counter refresh costs far less than an open-concept conversion. After design, you receive one fixed contract covering the full scope before any work begins.
A cabinet-and-counter refresh is usually 3 to 5 weeks of construction, a full same-footprint remodel 6 to 9 weeks, and an open-concept conversion 10 to 16 weeks. Custom cabinet lead time is the biggest factor, so we order cabinets before demolition.
Yes. We design and install custom cabinetry, including custom hardwood and painted finishes, with soft-close hardware, for kitchens, pantries, islands and built-ins.
We walk through your kitchen, discuss what works and what doesn’t, and explain realistic changes based on your space. We’ll talk about layout options, materials, timelines, and budget. There’s no sales pressure—just honest conversation about your project.
Most kitchen remodels take 6-12 weeks depending on scope. Design phase takes 2-4 weeks. Simple updates finish faster; full renovations with layout changes take longer. We provide a realistic timeline during consultation.
Yes, though it requires planning. Your kitchen will be unavailable during construction. We help you set up a temporary cooking space and maintain access to your home. Many clients stay during the remodel.
Absolutely. Small kitchens require smart design to maximize space, storage, and workflow. We specialize in making compact San Antonio kitchens more functional and beautiful.
Yes. We design and install custom islands with proper structural support, plumbing, electrical, and storage solutions tailored to your space and needs.
Changes happen. We discuss any modifications, explain how they affect budget and timeline, and get your approval before proceeding. Nothing moves forward without your agreement.
Design is a paid phase that produces complete drawings and specifications for your project. If you decide to stop after design, all completed drawings are yours to keep once the design phase is paid in full.
Weekly invoices are sent through our invoicing system, typically on Fridays. Payment is expected upon receipt. We also provide a live budget tracker so you see exactly where your money goes throughout the project.
We can discuss multi-room projects. If you’re interested in remodeling both your kitchen and bathroom, our kitchen and bathroom remodeling contractors team can coordinate both projects efficiently.
