Gut Rehab in Austin, TX

Why Austin Homeowners Choose Us for Gut Rehab

A gut rehab strips a property down to the studs and rebuilds it from the inside out. It is the right approach when the existing mechanical systems, insulation, drywall, and finishes are too far gone to save. Investment properties, foreclosures, homes with extensive water or termite damage, and 1950s-1970s builds that have never been updated are all strong candidates for a gut rehab. We handle these projects across the Austin metro, from East Austin investment properties to aging ranch homes in South Austin and Pflugerville.

The gut rehab process starts with selective or full demolition. We strip interior walls down to framing, remove all existing electrical wiring, plumbing supply and drain lines, HVAC ductwork, insulation, flooring, and fixtures. This exposes the structural framing so we can assess and repair any damage from termites, water, foundation movement, or previous unpermitted modifications before rebuilding.

Once the structure is sound, we rebuild with all new systems: modern electrical wiring with an upgraded panel, PEX or copper supply lines and PVC drains, new HVAC with properly sized ductwork, spray foam or blown-in insulation, and new drywall throughout. Then we layer on the finishes: flooring, trim, paint, cabinets, countertops, fixtures, and hardware. The result is a home that looks and functions like new construction but retains its original footprint and character.

For Austin investors running the numbers on a gut rehab, we provide detailed cost breakdowns by phase so you can calculate your ARV (after-repair value) with confidence. We have completed gut rehabs on properties across East Austin, the 78745 corridor, and transitioning neighborhoods where the land value justifies the investment. Our project managers track costs against budget in real time and communicate any variances before they impact your bottom line.
