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

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his name is on the door, the truck, and the contract. When you call, a live person answers. When you sign, every allowance and every scope item is in writing. When the permit inspector walks through your kitchen on Friday, Tom wants to be there. The inspector works for you, not for us. That’s the whole point.

In New Braunfels, we’ve worked on kitchens in the historic German limestone homes near downtown and Gruene, where we match mortar and respect original framing, and on post-2010 tract builds in neighborhoods like Vintage Oaks and Veramendi, where slab movement and expansive clay are real concerns. Our Kitchen Remodeling team knows the difference between a 1930s pier-and-beam near the Comal and a 2015 slab-on-grade off Walnut Avenue. That local knowledge gets priced into the estimate up front, not discovered on day nine.

For full transparency, scheduling and dispatch are coordinated from our San Antonio office, but the crews you’ll see in New Braunfels live and work right here. Tom’s sons run most of the job sites. Background-checked, uniformed, and carrying the Barrett & Sons name on every visit.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in New Braunfels

Full Kitchen Remodeling

We gut it, rework the layout, and rebuild it. That covers framing changes, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, counters, tile, and finish work. In New Braunfels homes built before 1980, we frequently find knob-and-tube remnants or undersized joists that have to be corrected before cabinets go in. A full remodel here typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on square footage and material choices.

Cabinets & Countertops

Whether you’re refacing or replacing, we install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria or quartz countertops that you can research before you buy. For homes in the 78132 corridor toward Canyon Lake, we often recommend cabinet layouts that work with open floor plans common in newer builds. Cabinet installation alone runs $4,000 to $13,000 in New Braunfels.

Backsplash Installation

Backsplash is the quickest way to change the feel of a kitchen without a full tear-out. We handle glass, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone. In the older limestone homes near Gruene, we take extra care with the mortar bed and prep so the tile bonds correctly to the masonry. Expect $800 to $2,500 for a standard backsplash in New Braunfels, depending on tile choice and square footage.

Tile & Flooring

Kitchen floors in New Braunfels take a beating from Hill Country dust and river sand tracked in from the Guadalupe and Comal. We install porcelain tile, luxury vinyl plank, and engineered hardwood, with proper underlayment rated for the moisture swings we get here. On slab homes, we check for cracks and moisture before anything goes down. Flooring for a kitchen typically runs $2,000 to $8,000 as part of a broader remodel.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Before we swing a hammer, we sit down with you and go over the layout on paper. Peninsula or island? Where does the vent hood run? Can we move the sink without fighting the existing plumbing stack? In New Braunfels, where kitchens in older homes are often tight and dark, a layout change often matters more than new cabinet faces. Design time is included when you move forward with us.

Trusted Brands We Service in New Braunfels

We install Schluter waterproofing systems under every tile shower and backsplash we touch, and we stock Schluter components locally so we never hold up a New Braunfels job waiting on a truck from Dallas. For plumbing fixtures, we spec Grohe and Sterling lines that hold up under the hard water common in Comal County. You’ll never see a mystery fixture off a white van on a Barrett & Sons invoice. If you want to look up the brand before you buy, you can. We encourage it.

What to Look For When Comparing Kitchen Remodelers in New Braunfels

Get three written estimates, then read them side by side. Does each one list the same scope? Does each one spell out allowances for tile, countertops, and fixtures? Does anyone mention caliche or slab conditions? That’s the one who’s actually remodeled in New Braunfels. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Ask whether the contractor pulls permits. If they hesitate, walk away. The permit inspector is the only third party who will ever verify the work inside your walls.

Also ask about change orders. With us, every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every surprise behind the drywall gets written down and signed before work continues. No invoice at the end that you never saw coming. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in New Braunfels Homes

• Slab movement on expansive clay. New Braunfels sits on the Balcones Escarpment, where wet-dry cycles cause measurable seasonal foundation movement in slabs that weren’t engineered with deep piers. Before cabinets go in, we check for level issues that a countertop template will expose.
• Caliche rock under the slab. In the 78132 corridor toward Canyon Lake, excavation crews regularly hit caliche hardpan that requires a hydraulic breaker. If you’re adding a kitchen addition or moving a sink, that rock condition affects plumbing trenching and can add cost that out-of-market GCs don’t price in. We do.
• Historic limestone masonry. The mid-1800s German homes in downtown New Braunfels and Gruene have lime-based mortar that modern cement products will crack. We match mortar and use compatible materials so your kitchen remodel doesn’t create problems in the wall behind it.
• Flood zone framing requirements. Portions of 78130 and low-lying 78132 parcels sit inside FEMA flood zones along the Guadalupe and Comal rivers. Remodel work in those areas may require elevated foundation designs or flood-compliant framing that adds engineering review time. We handle the paperwork, not just the hammers.
