Kitchen & bath remodeling in New Braunfels

Q: Do you actually work in New Braunfels?

Yes — 78130, 78132, 78133, 78135 are core zip codes for us, in Comal County. The 30-minute walkthrough is done at your house by the project owner, and the written fixed price follows within 24 hours.

Q: What does a bathroom remodel cost in New Braunfels?

Our published tiers apply across the whole service area: Refresh $8,000–$13,000, Full Build $15,000–$22,000, Spa Build $22,000–$26,000. What changes locally is the condition allowance — an original 1980s bathroom needs panel, supply line, and code work that a 2015 bathroom does not, and that belongs in the bid rather than in a change order.

Q: And a kitchen?

A standard rebuild in roughly the existing footprint is $29,000 to $35,500 for a typical 200 sq ft kitchen at mid-grade materials — the source of the commonly cited $32,000 figure. Refresh work starts around $18,500 and premium custom work starts at $44,800.

The fifth fastest-growing city in America — and a housing stock splitting in two.

New Braunfels reached 122,492 residents in 2025, up 35.5% since 2020, after the Census Bureau ranked it the #5 fastest-growing city in the United States. Growth that fast splits a town’s housing into two very different remodeling markets, and they need different things from a contractor.

The local read

Two New Braunfels, two kinds of work

The first is the historic and established side — the neighborhoods around downtown, Landa Park, and the older stretches of 78130. Homes here can predate central air, and a kitchen remodel routinely turns into a conversation about cast-iron drain lines, cloth-wrapped or aluminum branch wiring, ungrounded circuits, and walls that are not plumb. The design is the easy part; the value is in finding what is behind the plaster before it becomes a change order.

The second is the fast-growth side — the newer subdivisions along the 78132 and 78135 corridors. These homes are structurally sound and only 10 to 20 years old, but they were finished to a builder’s budget: stock cabinet boxes, laminate or entry-level granite, one-piece fiberglass tub-shower units, and shower pans built without a proper waterproofing membrane. Owners are not fixing failures, they are upgrading finishes — and that is a cleaner, faster, more predictable scope.

Overall, 37.1% of New Braunfels homes were built before 2000, against a $339,400 median value and 65.3% owner-occupancy — a lower ownership rate than Bulverde, which is what a large rental and short-term-rental segment near the rivers looks like in the data.

What we check in New Braunfels

Local conditions that change the scope.

These come up at the walkthrough because they change the price. Better to know now.

Older cores

Pre-1960 homes near downtown: we scope drain line material, panel capacity, and grounding before finishes.

Newer subdivisions

Builder-grade fiberglass units and unmembraned pans are the most common thing we replace in 78132.

Permitting

Inside city limits, New Braunfels permits and inspects the work. We pull it and meet the inspector.

River-area rentals

Short-term rental baths take heavy use. We spec commercial-grade valve trim and surfaces where that applies.

Who pulls the permit?

We do. Short-term rental baths take heavy use. We spec commercial-grade valve trim and surfaces where that applies.

How is the price actually fixed?

We spend 30 minutes measuring the room and checking the panel, the water, and what is behind the access panel — specifically so that concealed conditions get found before you commit, not after. The written number covers the scope in the contract. If we find something genuinely hidden after demolition, you see it with a price before we proceed.
