Kitchen Remodeling in Allen - Written Fixed Price, Finish Date in the Contract

Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Allen

Kitchen remodeling in Allen, TX typically runs $14,000-$45,000 for a full project, with smaller refreshes starting around $9,000. Most of the homes we walk into in Allen were built between 1993 and 2012, which means a lot of kitchens are hitting the same 20-30-year renovation threshold at the same time. If you live in Twin Creeks, Watters Crossing, or Ridgeview Ranch and your kitchen still has the original builder-grade cabinets, you’re not alone. Call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll bring the price in writing before a single cabinet comes out.

What separates a good kitchen remodel in Allen from a frustrating one comes down to how the contractor handles the slab your house sits on, the written scope you sign, and the brands that go into the job. We’ll walk through all three below.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Allen’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company

Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and he’s still the one who answers the phone. That matters in a city like Allen, where homeowners have plenty of options but fewer that come with a name, a published license number, and a written 90-Day Done Right Promise on every contract. Our Kitchen Remodeling team works in Allen every week, and we know the difference between a Twin Creeks kitchen with early-2000s builder framing and a Watters Crossing kitchen that was custom-built on the same slab style but with better bones.

We’ve done kitchens in both. The difference matters when you’re deciding whether existing walls can move or whether the island footprint has to stay where it is because of post-tension cables underneath.

Calls from Allen homeowners are answered by a live person. Not a voicemail. Not a call center. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, which means you can look up who you’re hiring before you sign anything. Every job includes permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible project. And if something’s not right after we finish, one call brings Tom back. That promise is written on the contract, not buried in fine print.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Allen

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel in Allen usually means gutting the space down to studs, addressing any slab-related framing issues, and rebuilding with new cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, and often a new layout. In homes around Ridgeview Ranch and the 75013 ZIP code, we frequently open walls and find the same builder-grade framing the neighbor two doors down has. That’s not a problem; it just means we know what’s behind the drywall before we start. Full remodels typically range from $14,000 to $45,000 depending on footprint, brand selections, and whether the island moves. If you’re in 75002 or 75013, we’ll give you a line-item quote.

Cabinets & Countertops

Cabinet installation in Allen runs roughly $4,000-$13,000, while countertop installation comes in around $2,000-$6,500. We carry KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz, brands you can look up. If you’re refacing existing boxes instead of replacing them, the price lands on the lower end. If you want a full tear-out with soft-close hardware and dovetail drawers, expect the higher end. Allen homes from the 1993-2012 build era often have perfectly sound cabinet boxes with worn doors and dated finishes. Refacing makes sense in a lot of those kitchens, and we’ll tell you honestly when replacement isn’t necessary.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Backsplash installation in Allen typically runs $800-$2,500. Tile and flooring work depends on square footage and material, but we quote it line by line. One thing that nearly every Allen kitchen needs is a tile substrate that can tolerate movement. Slab movement on Blackland Prairie clay doesn’t stop at the foundation; it telegraphs up through floors and walls. We install tile with a decoupling membrane where appropriate so tile doesn’t crack when the ground beneath your slab swells after a wet spring.

Kitchen Design & Layout

A lot of Allen kitchens built in the 1990s and early 2000s have a peninsula layout that blocks the flow into the family room. Removing that peninsula and adding an island is one of the most common asks we hear. Kitchen island installation in Allen runs $3,000-$10,000 depending on size, plumbing (if you want a sink or prep faucet), and electrical for outlets. We handle the design in-house, and every allowance goes in writing before work starts.

Trusted Brands We Service in Allen

We install brands you can look up. In Allen kitchens, that means KraftMaid and Cambria on the cabinet and countertop side, with Schluter systems underneath tile whenever the job calls for it. If your project includes a faucet or plumbing fixture, we’ll quote Grohe among the options. We don’t install mystery brands off the back of a van because the homeowner who lives in Watters Crossing deserves to know exactly what material is going into their home. If you already bought materials, we’ll install those too, as long as they meet code.

We also handle Bathroom Remodeling in Allen and Roofing in Allen, so if your kitchen project is part of a larger renovation that touches a master bath or a storm-damaged roof, one call covers it.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Allen Homes

• Post-tension slab movement racking door frames and cracking drywall: Allen’s master-planned subdivisions were built on expansive clay, and after 25-30 years of drought-and-rain cycles, interior door frames in kitchens often sit visibly out of square. We assess slab movement before framing work starts so we’re not called back for the same repair in six months.
• Builder-grade cabinets failing across entire neighborhoods: The same builder packages went into homes across Twin Creeks, Watters Crossing, and Ridgeview Ranch in the 1990s and 2000s. Particleboard shelves sag, hinge screws strip out, and drawer slides fail at roughly the same time. We’ve seen entire streets where every third kitchen has the same cabinet line showing the same wear.
• Island layouts that fight the floor plan: Many Allen kitchens from this build era have peninsulas that choke the walkway to the breakfast nook. Removing them and floating an island opens the room, but it requires knowing what’s under the slab. Post-tension cables run through those floors, and we locate them before cutting.
• Outdated lighting and exhaust over cooktops: Original recessed cans with incandescent bulbs and vented range hoods that recirculate instead of exhausting outside are common in 75002 and 75013. We upgrade both during a remodel, and if the hood currently recirculates, we’ll run the duct properly so smoke actually leaves the house.
