Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Jollyville
A full kitchen remodel in Jollyville typically runs $14,000-$45,000, with smaller jobs like cabinet installation or a backsplash landing between $800 and $13,000. We schedule free estimates throughout 78729 and walk every job before quoting, because houses here aren’t interchangeable. If you’re off Parmer Lane near the Apple campus or tucked into one of the older ranch subdivisions off Pond Springs Road, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come take a look. Barrett & Sons Construction has been cutting and hanging cabinets in these kitchens since the late 1990s, long before the tech corridor turned every 1970s ranch into a gut-and-rebuild candidate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Jollyville’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Most of the kitchens we remodel in Jollyville were framed when the neighborhood was still unincorporated Williamson County, and they carry the fingerprints of that era: original 100-amp panels, galvanized supply lines, slab-on-grade foundations that have moved a little in the black clay, and layouts constrained by load-bearing walls that made sense when a 1,700-square-foot ranch was cutting edge. We know what’s behind those walls before we open them, and that’s the difference between a bid that holds and a bid that breeds change orders. Tom Barrett lives twenty minutes from Jollyville, his sons run the crews, and the same faces show up from demo day to the final walk-through.
Jollyville homeowners tend to ask two things before signing: “Will you be here, or will subcontractors show up?” and “Is the price in writing?” The answer to the first is yes, Tom’s sons run every crew that wears our name. The answer to the second is that every allowance, every scope change, and every price adjustment lands on a written change order before work proceeds. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we’d rather disappoint you early with the truth than surprise you late with the bill. You can also verify Tom’s license number, address, and founding year yourself before calling, which is exactly how we think it should work.
Our Kitchen Remodeling team has worked through every corner of 78729, from the older streets west of Mopac to the newer pockets near the Walnut Creek greenbelt. The permit inspector on your project reports to the code office, not to us, which is precisely why we pull permits on every eligible job and stand there while inspections get signed. That’s the standard we’d want on our own kitchens, and we’re not going to lower it for yours.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Jollyville
Full Kitchen Remodeling
We tear out and rebuild kitchens across Jollyville, from the studs up when the job calls for it. That means moving walls where the foundation allows, adding the island you’ve been sketching on a napkin, and rebuilding the whole room around how you actually cook. In these 1970s and 1980s ranch layouts, the biggest gain usually comes from opening the kitchen to the dining room, which means adding a header beam and often working around the existing slab without overloading it.

Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinet installation in Jollyville runs $4,000-$13,000, and countertops add another $2,000-$6,500 depending on material and square footage. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz, among other solid brands, and we’ll help you build a layout that fits a galley kitchen or an open floorplan without wasting a single drawer.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
A tile backsplash in a Jollyville kitchen runs $800-$2,500 on its own, and flooring typically lands inside that same range when added to a larger project. The slab floors in this area complicate tile installation more than people expect, because the expansive clay under the foundation moves through Central Texas’s drought-to-deluge cycles. We check the floor for deflection and flatness before setting the first tile, and we tell you the truth if the slab needs leveling first.

Kitchen Design & Layout
We draw the design, handle the permitting, and install what we drew, so you’re not coordinating three different crews with three different phone numbers. A kitchen island in Jollyville runs $3,000-$10,000 when built with proper electrical, plumbing if you want a prep sink, and storage underneath. If you’re already planning a pantry wall or a coffee bar, we fold that into the same plan and the same written quote.

Trusted Brands We Service in Jollyville
We prefer to install brands we’d put in our own homes, which is where KraftMaid, Cambria, and Schluter come in. Schluter waterproofing matters especially for kitchen remodels that extend into a laundry or pantry area near a water line, because a slow leak behind a cabinet in a slab house can go unnoticed for years. For Jollyville jobs we keep standard trim, hardware, and finishing materials close at hand, so a minor change at the end of the job doesn’t trigger a week-long wait for a part from a warehouse three states away.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Jollyville Homes
- Foundation movement under the slab: The black Vertisol clay around Jollyville expands in wet seasons and shrinks in droughts, so floors that were flat twenty years ago are often out of level now. A kitchen remodel becomes the right time to level the slab or at least accommodate the existing movement in the tile plan, since cabinets ignore an eighth-inch drift but large-format tile will telegraph every bit of it.
- Outdated electrical panels: Many original 1972-1992 homes in 78729 still run 100-amp panels with no capacity left for a wall oven, induction cooktop, or the additional circuits a modern kitchen demands. If the panel’s undersized, we bring in the electrician and the permit before the cabinets go in.
- Galvanized plumbing that’s reached retirement age: The original galvanized supply lines in these ranch homes are often crusted down to a pencil-width channel, which means water pressure in the kitchen is mediocre and a renovation is the best time to replace the lines while the walls are open.
- Jurisdictional seams: Parts of Jollyville fall inside Austin’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction and other parts answer to Williamson County, so a knockdown-and-rebuild kitchen addition or structural change can require sign-offs from both code offices on the same parcel. We navigate that weekly, which is why permits pulled is not a slogan here, it’s the job.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Jollyville, TX
Here’s the honest shop talk on numbers. A full kitchen remodel in a Jollyville ranch runs from $14,000 up to $45,000, and the spread is driven by how much of the kitchen you’re rebuilding versus refreshing. A small kitchen remodel runs $9,000-$20,000, cabinet installation lands between $4,000 and $13,000, and countertops run $2,000-$6,500. If the job is mostly cosmetic, a backsplash is $800-$2,500 and new flooring is usually similar per square foot. What moves the needle most is whether you’re keeping the same footprint or moving walls, adding an island, rewiring, and running new plumbing. All of this goes into one written quote with allowances listed line by line, so you can see the difference between a $14,000 refresh and a $45,000 rebuild before you sign. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the kitchen, take measurements, and give you a number worth its ink.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Jollyville
We typically schedule a free walk-through in Jollyville within a few days, and since Tom lives roughly twenty minutes from 78729, the estimate doesn’t get delayed by driving distance. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll set a time that works around your work day. Every estimate is free and comes in writing, from a person who has seen the kitchen in person, not from photos over the phone.
Yes, we cover the whole 78729 zone, including the neighborhoods west of Mopac, the streets near Pond Springs Road, and the blocks close to the Parmer Lane corridor. If you’re near the Walnut Creek greenbelt or on the edge of the Anderson Mill line, you’re still in our regular service area. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll confirm scheduling on the spot.
Yes, and honestly it’s part of what makes Jollyville work different from Cedar Park or Round Rock. When the slab has shifted from the expansive clay, the kitchen remodel often starts with leveling or pier work, and we coordinate that with the rest of the scope so one crew’s fix doesn’t get covered up by another crew’s cabinets. If your floor is out of level, we’ll tell you and write it into the change order before it becomes an invoice. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a walk-through.
Not meaningfully, but the age of the housing stock in 78729 means some kitchens need more prep work than a newer house in Brushy Creek or Cedar Park would. When we quote a Jollyville ranch, the number often includes panel upgrades, galvanized pipe replacement, or slab leveling that a 2010-era house wouldn’t need. A full kitchen remodel here still runs $14,000-$45,000, and we’ll show you exactly which line items apply to your house. The estimate is free; call (877) 610-1318.
Yes, every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not talked about over a handshake. If something wasn’t done right, you make one call and Tom comes back. This applies to the cabinets, countertops, tile, and structural work on any Jollyville kitchen we build. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the kitchen before you decide anything.
