MEET BERT BELL
Bert Bell, founder of Kitchens by Bell, LLC, brings over two decades of experience in the home improvement and custom cabinetry industries. Originally from west‑central Missouri, he began his career in management with a major home improvement company before advancing into executive roles in sales, operations, and human resources -- ultimately serving as Vice President for a large custom cabinet manufacturer.
With a deep understanding of design, construction, and business operations, Bert launched Kitchens by Bell to provide homeowners in Austin, TX and the surrounding areas with a seamless, high‑quality design‑build remodeling experience. His leadership, vision, and hands‑on approach have earned multiple Contractor of the Year (CotY) awards and a reputation for excellence in luxury home renovations.
Bert holds extensive knowledge across every phase of a remodel -- from structural and mechanical work to custom cabinetry design and finish selection. His background as a former VP of a custom cabinet manufacturer gives him a level of technical depth that most general contractors simply don't have. That expertise translates directly into better designs, fewer surprises, and a smoother experience for every homeowner he works with.
