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

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and put his name on the truck. He still answers the phone. That matters in a city like Reno, where the construction market has been running hot since the Tesla Gigafactory broke ground and every trade got busy. A lot of outfits quote by satellite and send whoever’s available. We don’t. When you call us about a Kitchen Remodeling project, you talk to someone who knows what your kitchen actually looks like: the 1950s ranch with the load-bearing wall you’d like to move, the 2004 stucco house in Spanish Springs with cabinets that never fit right, the Midtown bungalow where somebody painted over beautiful old framing.

Reno homeowners have been hiring us for years because we put every scope, every allowance, and every price change on paper before work begins. If the scope changes, you get a written change order first. No surprises at the end. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job. Tom’s sons run the crews, and they’re background-checked, uniformed, and local. You’ll see us around town. That’s the point.

Every one of our completed jobs carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written into the contract. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Reno

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel means gutting the space and rebuilding it: framing, drywall, electrical, plumbing, flooring, cabinets, counters, backsplash, and finish work. In Reno’s older core neighborhoods like Midtown and the University area, that often includes dealing with surprises behind the walls. Post-WWII ranch homes and mid-century brick structures frequently have minimal insulation and wiring that predates modern code. We plan for that. You’ll know what we expect to find, and you’ll get written change orders if we find something different.

Cabinets & Countertops

We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz, brands you can look up and verify. For Reno kitchens, we recommend materials that hold up to dry, high-altitude air and big temperature swings between seasons. Solid wood doors and plywood boxes handle the shrink and swell better than particleboard. Countertop choices come down to how you cook. Quartz resists stains and doesn’t need sealing. Granite handles hot pans directly. We’ll help you sort through the trade-offs without pushing you toward whatever’s in the warehouse.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Backsplash installation in Reno runs $800 to $2,500 for a typical kitchen. Tile and flooring range wider depending on square footage and material. We layout everything before the first tile goes up, whether you’re doing a simple subway pattern in a Sparks townhouse or a full-height quartz slab behind a range in a Northwest Reno custom home. Our tile setters work to tight tolerances, and we check for level before we start because a lot of older Reno floors aren’t.

Kitchen Design & Layout

The best kitchen remodels start with how you actually use the room, not with a catalog photo. In Reno homes, we see a lot of kitchens that were added onto over the decades without much thought to flow. We look at where the light comes in, how the traffic moves through, where the range hood can vent, and whether an island makes sense. Kitchen island installation typically runs $3,000 to $10,000 depending on size, plumbing, and electrical. We’ll draw it out and price it before you commit. We also handle Bathroom Remodeling in Reno when one project turns into two.

Trusted Brands We Service in Reno

We carry premium brands across every trade, and in kitchens that means KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz, which are stocked through our local suppliers. We do not install mystery materials off the back of a van. You’ll see model numbers and brand names on your estimate, and you can look up reviews before you sign. For window work tied into a kitchen remodel, we install Simonton and Ply Gem, both of which hold up to Reno’s high-altitude UV exposure better than budget vinyl. If your kitchen project turns into something bigger, we also do Roofing in Reno, because a lot of kitchen remodels start with a leak that was ignored too long.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Reno Homes

• Freeze-thaw damage to poorly built additions. Reno sits at 4,500 feet and gets 20 to 30 hard-freeze nights a year. That repeated freezing and thawing drives cracks through stucco, tile, and caulk lines faster than most people expect, especially in the North Valleys and Spanish Springs corridor where 2000s-era subdivisions are showing their age ahead of schedule.
• UV-baked finishes and dried-out caulks. Roughly 300 sunny days a year means intense high-elevation UV that fades cabinets, breaks down cabinet door finishes, and crumbles caulk around sinks and backsplashes. A kitchen that looked fine at sea level looks tired in Reno after a few seasons.
• Older homes with no room for modern appliances. The mid-century ranches around Midtown, Old Southwest, and 89503 were built for 30-inch ranges and single-door refrigerators. Modern appliances don’t always fit without cabinet rework, and we frequently reconfigure layouts rather than force a bad fit.
• Wildland-urban interface code requirements on the edges. If your home is in the North Valleys, Lemmon Valley, or the eastern foothills, a kitchen remodel that touches an exterior wall can trigger Nevada’s WUI fire codes, including ignition-resistant materials around vents and penetrations. Two miles away in central Reno, the same job has no such requirement. We check before we quote.
