Boulder City presents a set of challenges most contractors never see. The entire downtown core is a National Register Historic District with a Historic Preservation Commission that reviews exterior modifications. Meanwhile, homes on the outskirts sit on acreage with septic systems, wells, and long material hauls. We’ve worked both. We scope for it before we quote, and every change order arrives in writing before a nail moves.

- A full Kitchen Remodeling project in Boulder City runs $14,000-$45,000

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Boulder City’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Founded in 1998 and owner-operated by Tom Barrett, we’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom lives close enough to Boulder City to show up at the hardware store on Saturday. His name, his address, and his license number are published and verifiable. You can look it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street. That accountability is why homeowners in Boulder City keep calling us back, and why we’re willing to put a written 90-Day Done Right Promise on every contract.
We’ve worked on 1930s Bureau of Reclamation bungalows in the Historic District, mid-century ranch homes off Adams Boulevard, and custom homes out on acreage near Eldorado Valley. Each one changes how we scope a kitchen. A 90-year-old home with knob-and-tube wiring needs different rough-in work than a 1980s ranch. A house in the Historic District needs different window and materials approvals than a home East of US-95. One thing stays the same: written change orders before any scope change touches the job, and permits pulled on every eligible project. Because the permit inspector works for you, not for me.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. When you call (877) 610-1318, you reach someone who knows Boulder City and can schedule your free estimate without bouncing you through three departments.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Boulder City
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Boulder City runs $14,000-$45,000. That includes demolition, rough-in plumbing and electrical updates, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, lighting, and final trim. If your home sits in the Historic District, we handle the Historic Preservation Commission submission for any exterior wall penetrations, window changes, or vent hood routing before we order materials. That’s not optional. Skip it and the city will stop the job.
Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz or granite countertops sourced to handle Boulder City’s high-UV desert climate. Cabinet installation alone runs $4,000-$13,000; countertop installation runs $2,000-$6,500. On 90-year-old homes, we level floors and true walls first because original Bureau of Reclamation framing has settled over eight decades. You can’t hang a straight run of cabinets on a crooked wall and expect it to look right.
Kitchen Design & Layout
This is where we spend real time, especially on small 1930s bungalows where every square foot counts. We work through layout, cabinet pulls, outlet placement, venting, and cooking flow before we quote. If your kitchen sits on an acreage lot with a septic system, we check drain field setbacks before we draw a second sink or dishwasher into the plan. That check can change the whole layout. Better to know on paper than at final inspection.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Boulder City runs $800-$2,500. Tile and flooring selection matters more than most people realize. Boulder City sits at roughly 2,500 feet in the Mojave Desert. Intense UV and temperature swings between day and night cause expansion and contraction stress on grout lines, tile joints, and masonry. We specify flexible grout and underlayment appropriate for that thermal cycling, especially on 90-year-old homes where original subfloors aren’t perfectly flat.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boulder City
We install premium, name-brand materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. In kitchens, that means KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz. We’ve set Blanco farmhouse sinks and sourced period-compatible finishes for Historic District homes where off-the-shelf stock doesn’t meet HPC guidelines. Materials availability in Boulder City is different from Las Vegas; standard suppliers don’t carry everything. We plan for that before we quote, so your timeline doesn’t stall waiting on a backordered cabinet line.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Boulder City Homes
- Historic Preservation Commission stop-work orders. A homeowner replaces a kitchen window with a standard vinyl unit without HPC review, and the city issues a stop-work order until period-appropriate wood or clad-wood windows are sourced. We submit before we order.
- Wrong permit jurisdiction. A contractor from Las Vegas pulls a Clark County permit instead of a Boulder City permit for a kitchen addition. The permit gets rejected, rough-in inspection stalls, and you lose weeks. We don’t make that mistake.
- Septic setbacks on acreage lots. A kitchen remodel adds a dishwasher and second sink without checking septic setback or drain capacity. Final inspection fails. Drain field rework is expensive. We check before scope is finalized.
- Thermal expansion cracking. The Mojave sun bakes exterior walls; overnight temps drop. Grout and sealant fail faster here than in low-elevation cities. We spec materials built for that expansion-contraction stress, not whatever’s cheapest at the supply house.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Boulder City
Yes, if your kitchen remodel includes any exterior modification such as window replacement, exterior wall penetrations for vent hoods, or an addition. The Historic Preservation Commission reviews those changes and the process adds 2-6 weeks. Interior-only work, like cabinets, countertops, and flooring, generally doesn’t require HPC review. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you whether your project triggers review before you spend a dollar.
Sometimes, and only after we check two things: first, whether the existing foundation and framing can carry the additional load; second, whether your septic system and drain field have the capacity for the added fixtures. On acreage lots, septic setbacks often drive the answer. If your property sits within the Historic District, any change to the exterior will need HPC review as well. We scope for all three before we quote.
We install Cambria quartz and natural granite. Cambria quartz is non-porous and doesn’t fade under sustained UV exposure, which makes it a strong choice for Boulder City homes with large south-facing kitchen windows. Granite is more heat-tolerant but requires periodic sealing. We’ll walk you through both options against your specific kitchen layout and light exposure.
We use flexible grout, movement joints at corners and transitions, and underlayment that absorbs thermal expansion differences between the original 1930s subfloor and the new tile. Skipping that on an old Boulder City home is why so many kitchen floors crack within a year. It’s standard in our quotes, not an add-on.
Yes. Any kitchen remodel that adds a sink, dishwasher, or changes drain lines requires a plumbing permit, and we verify septic setback and drain capacity before finalizing scope. A failed final inspection over a septic issue adds weeks and cost. We check it before work starts, not after. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll walk you through what applies to your property.
