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

Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Arlington

A full Kitchen Remodeling job in Arlington typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, with smaller refreshes starting around $9,000 and cabinet-focused work landing between $4,000 and $13,000. Those numbers reflect what we see across the 76015, 76016, 76017, and 76018 zip codes, where the housing stock leans heavily toward 1960s-to-1980s ranch layouts that were never designed for how families cook today. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been remodeling kitchens across this city long enough to know which walls in a North Arlington ranch will fight you and which ones will cooperate.

Call (877) 610-1318

Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a live person on the line, not a national call center reading from a script. Tom Barrett answers his own phone. When you want to talk kitchens in Arlington, that’s who picks up.

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

We’re not a franchise with a rotating cast of subcontractors. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Arlington. Same faces, same name on the truck, same phone number you can call when something needs attention. Ask anyone in the Oak Hollow or Sherwood Forest neighborhoods about us, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number for exactly that reason.

Arlington homeowners have told us the same story for years: a big-name company quotes one number on the phone, then hands over a bill that’s thousands higher once demolition starts. Our response to that is simple. Every scope of work, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before a single cabinet comes out of the box. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t date surprises.

We back every kitchen job in Arlington with the 90-Day Done Right Promise. It’s written on the contract, not hidden in fine print. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. That promise has meant something in this city for over 29 years.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Arlington

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel in Arlington means gutting down to the studs, rerouting plumbing and electrical, and building back a room that fits how you actually cook. In the older ranch homes north of I-30, that often means discovering that the original 1970s wiring can’t handle a modern double oven and induction cooktop. We plan for that. Full remodels in Arlington run $14,000 to $45,000 depending on footprint, layout changes, and material choices. That range includes permits and inspections, because they’re not optional with us.

Cabinets & Countertops

Cabinet installation in Arlington ranges from $4,000 to $13,000, and countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500. We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz because those are brands you can research before you sign anything. No mystery products off the back of a van. Whether you’re refreshing a kitchen in the Dalworthington Gardens corridor or over in the Wimbledon area, we’ll show you samples, give you a written quote, and let you decide.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Backsplash work in Arlington lands between $800 and $2,500 for a typical kitchen. Flooring comes in higher depending on square footage and material. One thing we’ve learned working across Arlington is that the slab-on-grade construction in most of these homes means tile installation requires a close look at any existing foundation movement. If the slab has shifted, which the Blackland Prairie clay makes common, we address it before tile goes down. Laying tile over a moving slab just means doing it twice.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Most Arlington kitchens from the 1960s and 1970s were built for one cook and a landline phone on the wall. Opening up those tight galley layouts, adding an island, or moving a sink under a window changes how the whole house lives. Kitchen island installation in Arlington runs $3,000 to $10,000 depending on size, plumbing, and electrical. We sit down with you, sketch options, and talk through what’s realistic for your home’s bones before any work starts. Tom’s been doing layout work in this city long enough that he can tell you within ten minutes whether a wall is load-bearing or just decorative.

Trusted Brands We Service in Arlington

When we install windows and doors as part of a kitchen remodel in Arlington, we offer Simonton and PGT lines because they hold up under Texas heat and hail better than most. Those are names you can look up, with warranties you can read for yourself. We keep common parts and samples available for Arlington customers so decisions don’t stall while you wait on a distributor six states away. The brands we carry in this city are the same brands we’d put in our own kitchens, and the turnaround on ordering is fast because we’ve been working with these suppliers since before some of our competitors had a website.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Arlington Homes

Every city has its quirks. Arlington’s quirks show up in the kitchen more often than anywhere else. Here’s what we encounter regularly when we open up walls in this town:

• Slab movement from Blackland Prairie clay. Arlington sits on expansive clay that swells after spring rain and shrinks through the summer drought. In the post-war ranches built from 1960 to 1985, that means slabs have often moved an inch or more. If your kitchen floor isn’t level, cabinets will look crooked no matter how carefully they’re hung.
• Undersized electrical panels. Most 1960s and 1970s Arlington homes were wired for a refrigerator, a range, and maybe a toaster. Modern kitchens need circuits for microwaves, air fryers, warming drawers, and double ovens. When we pull the panel cover and see a 100-amp service with no space left, we stop and tell you before we go any further.
• Water damage under old dishwashers. The original dishwashers in Arlington’s aging housing stock have usually leaked at least once. By the time we demo a kitchen, the subfloor or slab under the dishwasher zone frequently shows evidence of long-term moisture. We correct that before new flooring goes in, because covering up water damage just guarantees you’ll remodel the same kitchen twice.
• Load-bearing walls in inconvenient places. Those mid-century ranches weren’t built with open concepts in mind. The wall between the kitchen and living room is often structural. We’ve pulled permits enough times in the 76010 through 76012 corridor to know that city inspectors expect to see engineering when load-bearing walls come out, and we bring it from day one.
