Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Cinco Ranch
Kitchen remodeling in Cinco Ranch typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full renovation, with most projects taking four to eight weeks depending on scope. The big variable here isn’t just cabinet choice or countertop material; it’s how well your contractor understands the black clay soil under your post-tension slab and the HOA architectural committee’s review process. If you’re looking at a kitchen that hasn’t been touched since the house was built, call us at (877) 610-1318. We’ll give you a straight answer about what it costs before you sign anything.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cinco Ranch’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’re an owner-operated outfit founded in 1998, and Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. That matters in Cinco Ranch because this is a community built on master-planned subdivisions where houses range from twenty to thirty years old now, and the first renovation cycle is hitting hard. Homeowners here have already learned the hard way that national companies quote one number on the phone and show up with another. Tom’s sons run our crews, and Tom answers his own phone.
We’ve worked through enough Cinco Ranch kitchen remodels to know what the ACC will flag before you spend money on drawings. Westheimer Parkway, Spring Green Boulevard, Cinco Ranch Boulevard, and the neighborhoods off Peek Road all fall under HOA architectural control committees that want materials specs and color palettes submitted in advance. We handle that paperwork. It saves you weeks of back-and-forth and means you don’t buy cabinets that get rejected at review. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. That’s not a marketing slogan; it’s how we’ve operated for over 29 years. And our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract. If something isn’t right after we finish, one call brings Tom back. No fine print, no runaround.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Cinco Ranch
Our Kitchen Remodeling team handles the full range of work, from full-gut renovations to partial updates. Here’s how we approach the most common jobs in Cinco Ranch.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Full kitchen remodels in Cinco Ranch almost always involve opening walls in homes built between 1995 and 2015, which means working around post-tension slab foundations and brick veneer. That’s not a complication if you know what you’re doing, but it changes how you run plumbing and electrical. We pull permits on every eligible job, and we coordinate the inspections so you’re never guessing whether the work passed. Most full remodels here run $14,000 to $45,000, depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether you’re moving walls or relocating plumbing.

Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinetry is where Cinco Ranch homeowners tend to spend the most, and where bad advice costs the most. We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz because we can stand behind both brands by name, and you can look them up yourself. Countertop installation in Cinco Ranch typically runs $2,000 to $6,500. Cabinet installation runs $4,000 to $13,000. If you’re replacing granite that was installed in 2005 and stained beyond hope, we’ll template and install without disrupting your slab.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Cinco Ranch runs $800 to $2,500 for a typical kitchen, and it’s one of the fastest ways to change the feel of an older kitchen without touching the layout. We see a lot of homes with original ceramic tile that’s cracked at the grout lines because the slab has shifted over two decades of Katy Prairie moisture cycles. New tile and grout done right accounts for that movement. We also handle entire kitchen floor replacements, which matters when you’re pulling up tile laid over concrete that has hairline cracks you can’t see until the old floor comes out.

Kitchen Design & Layout
Before we order anything, we sit down with you and put the layout on paper. In Cinco Ranch, that conversation often starts with the same sentence: “The kitchen felt fine when we bought the house, but now we hate it.” Usually that means a layout built for a 2002 floor plan, not how you actually cook. We’ll redesign sight lines, island placement, and cabinet depths so the space works. Kitchen island installation runs $3,000 to $10,000 depending on size, plumbing for a prep sink, and whether we’re moving electrical for outlets.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Cinco Ranch Homes
- Slab movement cracking tile and separating countertops. The Katy Prairie’s black clay soil shrinks in drought summers and swells after multi-inch rain events. Over twenty years, that cycle shifts post-tension slabs enough to crack tile and pull caulk lines apart. A kitchen remodel here has to account for that movement before new flooring goes down.
- HOA architectural committee delays. Cinco Ranch’s ACCs are among the most active in the Houston metro. Exterior changes, window modifications, and sometimes even visible interior work require pre-approval submittals with materials specs and color palettes. We handle those submittals so your project doesn’t stall at review.
- Aging brick veneer and window trim around the kitchen. Houses built in the 1995 to 2015 window are entering their first major repair cycle. Failed mortar joints and worn HardiePlank around kitchen windows mean moisture gets where it shouldn’t. We’ll catch that during the estimate, not after the wall is open.
- Plumbing and electrical that never got updated. Original 1990s and early 2000s kitchens in Cinco Ranch often have plumbing layouts that don’t support modern appliances. Moving a sink or adding a pot filler means pulling permits and updating lines to current code. We handle that, and the inspector signs off on it.
