Achieving a seamless open-concept kitchen in Austin requires precise structural engineering to replace load-bearing walls with recessed LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) or steel I-beams. Our technical process involves calculating new point loads and reinforcing the foundation to prevent deflection in Central Texas’s shifting soils. We ensure all spans meet 2026 IRC codes, providing a flush, header-free ceiling that maximizes both spatial flow and home value.
Executing a zero-entry or curbless shower in Austin requires sophisticated subfloor modification and precision-graded drainage. Unlike traditional showers, a zero-entry system demands that the structural floor joists be notched, or recessed, or a specialized sloped tray installedto allow the tile to sit flush with the main bathroom floor. We utilize the Schluter-Kerdi-Line linear drain system, which technically enables a single-plane slope toward the wall. This eliminates the need for a central bowl pitch and allows for large-format tiles. Proper waterproofing is reinforced with a liquid-applied membrane over the transition seam to prevent moisture-wicking into the Austin home’s subfloor, which is vital given the high humidity levels in Central Texas bathrooms.
Our experts deliver precise craftsmanship that ensures beauty, function, and lasting results.
We know Austin homes and bring local insight to every remodeling and design decision.

Remodeling a basement in Central Texas presents unique technical challenges due to the expansive clay soils and high water table. Unlike standard interior renovations, basement finishing requires a specialized focus on hydrostatic pressure and moisture mitigation. At Oak & Hammer, we utilize a multi-layer defense strategy, beginning with a penetrative concrete sealer and the installation of a dimpled drainage mat (polyethylene membrane) behind the studs. This creates a capillary break that allows any moisture seeping through the foundation walls to weep down into an internal perimeter drain rather than entering your living space. We prioritize inorganic materials, such as metal studs and closed-cell spray foam, which provide superior thermal resistance (R-value) while remaining impervious to mold growth in subterranean environments.
We start with a thorough consultation to understand your goals and tailor solutions just for you.
Every project begins with a clear, customized plan to ensure expectations and budgets are aligned.

“Truly transformed our home!”
I reached out to Oak & Hammer Remodeling after seeing a neighbor’s renovation, and I’m so glad I did. From the very beginning, Avner from the team was professional, detail-oriented, and completely transparent.
The results? Nothing short of stunning. Every space in our home now feels cohesive, elegant, and built with care.
We’ve had contractors in the past who cut corners, but Oak & Hammer delivered beyond expectations. Their craftsmanship and respect for our home truly stood out. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to hire them again.
“Oak & Hammer saved us from a renovation nightmare!”
We had started a remodel with another contractor who left the project halfway through. That’s when we found Oak & Hammer Remodeling — and they stepped in like heroes. Avner and his team took over with confidence and compassion.
They listened to every concern, offered smart design advice, and made sure the process was stress-free. What could have been a disaster turned into a dream kitchen and bathroom — both stylish and incredibly functional. Their attention to detail is second to none.
“Incredible quality, even better service!”
I hired Oak & Hammer Remodeling for a complex job we needed a structural wall removed and a new bedroom added.
Avner led the project with remarkable expertise. Everything was completed ahead of schedule, and the quality? Impeccable.
What impressed me most was their honesty and pricing no surprises, no hidden fees. Other quotes we got were much higher and less transparent. I wholeheartedly recommend Oak & Hammer to anyone who wants results without the stress.
