AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Selma
Kitchen remodeling in Selma, TX typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full renovation, depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether walls or plumbing are moving. Most families here live in the post-WWII and 1960s-to-1980s tract homes that define the residential streets around Selma, and those houses bring a specific set of realities: slab-on-grade foundations, compact footprints, and decades of accumulated layers from earlier remodels. We know these houses because we work on them every week. Whether your kitchen is on Retama Parkway, near Selma Stage Stop Park, or tucked into one of the older neighborhoods off Evans Road, call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Selma’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Every kitchen remodel we do in Selma starts the same way: a written scope, a written allowance sheet, and a conversation about what actually needs to change versus what’s still working fine. That discipline matters in a town where many homes sit on expansive clay soils that heave and settle with the seasons. A house on Evans Road can show hairline cracks in the slab that a homeowner on Schertz’s limestone shelf never sees, and that affects how we handle everything from cabinet leveling to tile layout on your kitchen floor.
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run crews on-site most days. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers, 24/7. If something isn’t right after the job is finished, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back, and it’s written on every contract, not buried in fine print. His name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look us up before you sign anything. That’s the point.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Selma
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Selma means taking the room down to studs where needed, reworking the layout, and rebuilding with materials you can research yourself, like KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz. Most of the kitchens we completely redo in the 78154 ZIP code are either original to the house or carry a cosmetic update from the 1990s. Neither holds up well against how families actually cook today, and neither was built around the expansive clay soil under Selma’s slab foundations. We account for both.
Cabinets & Countertops
For Selma homeowners who aren’t ready to gut the room, cabinet replacement or refacing paired with new counters is often the highest-impact change per dollar. We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria or other quartz and granite tops, and we order only after your allowances are in writing. That means the price you see on the estimate is the price you pay, unless a change order with a new number lands in your hand first. Full cabinet installation in Selma runs $4,000 to $13,000; countertops run $2,000 to $6,500.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Selma kitchens usually runs $800 to $2,500, and the conversation almost always starts with what’s behind the existing tile. In older Selma homes, drywall behind 1970s-era backsplashes has often absorbed steam and grease for forty years and needs replacement before new tile goes up. We use Schluter systems for waterproofing and uncoupling when moisture is a concern, which it often is in the Central Texas climate, where humidity swings can work tile loose over time. Kitchen flooring, whether you choose tile, vinyl plank, or engineered wood, needs to handle the same movement characteristics as the rest of your slab.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Small original kitchens in Selma’s older subdivisions weren’t planned for dishwashers wider than 24 inches, pantry storage, or a second cook in the room. A layout change, moving a range to an exterior wall or opening a wall into a dining area, can make more difference than any cabinet upgrade. We’ll draw the plan, pull the permit, and coordinate the structural work before a single cabinet order is placed. That’s how a Selma kitchen remodel avoids surprises, because an allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Slab movement and cracked tile. Selma sits on the Blackland Prairie’s clay-heavy soils, which expand during wet springs and contract through hot, dry summers. Kitchens tacked onto the back of slab homes often show diagonal tile cracks or cabinet doors that hang slightly out of square. We check floor flatness before any tile or cabinet installation and plan for movement joints where needed.
- Undersized electrical service. Homes built in the 1960s through 1980s in Selma’s established neighborhoods were wired for an era before microwaves, induction ranges, and dedicated circuits for air conditioning. A kitchen remodel almost always requires adding circuits or upgrading the panel. We pull that permit, and the inspector signs it.
- Roof leaks above the kitchen. Some Selma kitchens sit under flat or low-slope roof sections added during earlier remodels, and valley-area hail storms and high winds take a toll. If your kitchen ceiling shows water staining, the fix starts on the roof before any drywall or paint goes up. Our Roofing in Selma team handles that work first so it doesn’t ruin new cabinets six months later.
- Moisture and humidity warping cabinets and flooring. Central Texas summer humidity runs high, and kitchens without proper ventilation see cabinet doors swell and laminate surfaces peel. We install and vent hoods, check exhaust routing, and use materials rated to handle Selma’s interior moisture levels year-round.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Selma, TX
A small or partial kitchen remodel in Selma typically lands between $9,000 and $20,000, while a full gut-and-rebuild with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, new flooring, and layout changes runs $14,000 to $45,000. A Schlueter-waterproofed kitchen with upgraded KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria tops near Selma Stage Stop Park is going to price differently than a reface and counter swap in a rental property off I-35 North, but the line items stay the same: materials, labor, permits, and haul-away. You’ll get a written estimate with every number broken out, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% Senior & Veteran discount. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate, and we’ll walk every line item with you before anything is signed.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Selma
A full kitchen remodel in Selma generally costs $14,000 to $45,000, with smaller partial remodels starting around $9,000. The main cost drivers are cabinet grade, countertop material, whether plumbing or gas lines move, and what condition the subfloor and electrical system are in when we open the walls. Our estimates are free and line-itemed, and every allowance is on paper before work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 to get an exact quote for your Selma kitchen.
Not without a written change order. If we find rot, slab issues, or outdated wiring behind your cabinets, you’ll get a change order with a specific price for the additional work before we proceed. You approve it, we do it. You don’t approve it, we don’t do it. No surprise invoice at the end is the Barrett & Sons rule, and it’s applied on every job in Selma, Cibolo, and Converse.
Yes. Every eligible Selma kitchen remodel we run includes permits pulled and inspections signed. Almost every customer we meet has a story about a contractor who told them permits were optional. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why I like him. It’s also why the county signs off on your work, which matters when you sell a Selma home.
For most Selma kitchens, plan on three to six weeks for a full remodel: one to two weeks of demolition, rough-in, and structural work, followed by two to four weeks of cabinetry, counters, backsplash, and flooring. A cabinet-only or countertop-only job can finish in a week or less. We’ll give you a start-to-finish schedule in writing with your contract, and we’ll tell you if a change order pushes the date.
Yes, every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t done right, Tom Bard comes back and makes it right, one call. It’s not a prorated warranty or a fine-print guarantee; it’s a personal promise from the guy whose name is on the truck. Call (877) 610-1318 for your free Selma estimate, and ask us anything about how the warranty works.
