Call (877) 610-1318

We’ve worked in Anthony long enough to know the houses here aren’t like the ones in Las Cruces or El Paso. A lot of the kitchens we open up date to the 1970s and 1980s, with slab-on-grade foundations, original cabinet boxes, and layouts built for a time when nobody had a convection oven and a French-door fridge. That changes how we approach everything from Kitchen Remodeling demolition to cabinet installation. You’re not just getting a new kitchen; you’re getting an honest read on what’s behind the drywall in an Anthony home.

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

Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he’s still the guy who answers the phone. Not a call center, not a rotating project manager. When you call Barrett & Sons, you talk to someone whose name is on the truck and whose sons are on the job site most days. In Anthony, that matters a little more, because we’re working in a town that literally straddles two states. A contractor who doesn’t understand which side of the line your parcel sits on can pull the wrong permit, order the wrong inspection, and leave you holding a lien problem nobody warned you about. We check parcel-level state location before we touch a permit. Always.

Our Anthony customers see the same crew from demo to punch list. No national outfit dispatching strangers. No “the estimator you met isn’t the crew that shows up.” We carry background-checked, uniformed crew members, and we put every scope change in writing as a change order before work proceeds. Every contract includes our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back. One call.

We also answer the phone 24/7. Not a voicemail box. A live person. That’s unusual, and it’s the kind of thing you appreciate when you’re standing in a gutted kitchen at 7 p.m. on a Tuesday wondering when the cabinets arrive.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Anthony

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel in Anthony means taking the room down to the studs in most cases, which gives us a clean look at the existing plumbing, electrical, and the condition of the slab. Given that many Anthony homes sit on slab-on-grade construction, moving a sink or adding an island with plumbing means cutting concrete, not just running pipe through a crawlspace. That’s a real cost driver we talk about early, not after the drywall’s open. A full remodel in Anthony runs $14,000 to $45,000, including cabinets, counters, flooring, and fixtures.

Cabinets & Countertops

Cabinets are the single biggest line item in most Anthony kitchens. If your cabinet boxes are solid and square, refacing can save you thousands and still give you a completely different look. If they’re particleboard that’s been soaking up humidity and heat for 30 years, refacing is throwing good money after bad. We’re honest about the difference. We install and reface cabinets, and we also handle quartz and granite countertop installation, which in Anthony usually runs $2,000 to $6,500 depending on stone and linear footage. We carry KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz, names you can look up rather than mystery boxes off a van.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Anthony’s summers hit well above 100°F, and that dry desert heat cycles against winter freezes in a way that flexes grout joints and cracks tile if the substrate isn’t right. We see homeowners who picked the cheapest bid and then watched their new backsplash crack at the seam within a year. For backsplash installation in Anthony, expect $800 to $2,500. For kitchen flooring as part of a remodel, we’d fold that into the overall scope and price it as part of the full project, not as a surprise add-on at the end.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Most Anthony kitchens were built before kitchen islands, pull-out pantries, and under-cabinet lighting were standard. We spend real time on the layout before demo day. Sometimes the smartest move in a modest Anthony home isn’t blowing out a wall; it’s reworking the cabinet layout, moving the fridge off the only good prep counter, and adding a small island with seating. Kitchen island installation in Anthony runs $3,000 to $10,000 depending on plumbing, electrical, and stone. Tom will tell you if an island makes sense in your footprint or if you’re better off spending that money on cabinets and counters.

Trusted Brands We Service in Anthony

We’re not brand-snobs, but we’re also not installing whatever’s cheap this week. In Anthony kitchens, we’re regularly installing KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz, and when backsplash and wet-area work runs into tile, we use Schluter waterproofing systems because the temperature swings here punish shortcuts. For any adjacent Bathroom Remodeling in Anthony work, we carry Grohe fixtures and Sterling tubs and surrounds. Materials you can look up. Materials our crew knows how to install correctly, not guess at.

Because we keep stock accessible to our southern New Mexico jobs, cabinet orders for Anthony projects don’t sit in a warehouse in Albuquerque any longer than they have to. We coordinate delivery windows before demo begins, so you’re not living with a gutted kitchen for an extra two weeks.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Anthony Homes

• Caliche under the slab. That rock-hard calcium carbonate layer sits just below the desert surface all through this area, including Anthony. When a kitchen remodel requires moving a drain line for a new sink location or island, cutting through caliche takes specialized equipment and time. A contractor who doesn’t mention caliche in their bid is either new to this part of the Chihuahuan Desert or planning to surprise you with a change order later. We budget for it up front.
• Dual-state permit confusion. Anthony, TX and Anthony, NM sit so close that material staging, dumpster placement, or even a truck parked across the line can raise questions about jurisdiction. We confirm parcel-level state location before pulling any permit, and we pull permits on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why I like him.
• UV and heat damage inside the kitchen. Intense desert UV doesn’t just hit your Roofing in Anthony, which is why Tom and his team handle those projects too. It also fades and warps kitchen materials near windows and skylights, particularly cheaper cabinet laminates and vinyl flooring. We recommend materials that hold up to sustained sun exposure and explain why a slightly pricier finish actually saves you money over 10 years.
• Slab-on-grade limitations. Most Anthony homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s sit on slab foundations. That’s fine for durability, but it means any plumbing relocation is a concrete-cutting job, and any gas line move involves a trench. We plan these into the estimate, not as an afterthought after demo day.

Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Anthony, NM

What to Look For in an Anthony Kitchen Remodeler

Ask whether the contractor has worked both sides of the state line. That question alone will tell you a lot. Anthony is the only community in this region where a contractor can be standing in Texas and looking at a job site in New Mexico without crossing a road. A contractor who has never pulled Doña Ana County permits or dealt with Texas lien law on a kitchen job is going to learn on your dime.

Then ask about change orders. Not whether they happen, because they happen in every real remodel. Ask whether the contractor writes them down and gets your signature before work proceeds, or whether they mention them at the end when the final bill shows up. Our answer is in writing, every time. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

Finally, ask who shows up on day one. Tom’s sons run crews on Barrett & Sons jobs. You’ll see the same faces from demo through punch list. That’s the difference between a contractor who lives twenty minutes away and a franchise that reroutes crews from a different city every morning.
