AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Sun Village
Kitchen remodeling in Sun Village typically costs between $14,000 and $45,000, with smaller partial remodels starting around $9,000. The biggest variable is what the existing slab and framing allow once we open things up, which matters more in Sun Village than almost anywhere else in LA County because of the adobe clay underfoot. If you’re wondering whether your Sun Village home can handle a full layout change, or what cabinets and counters will hold up to Antelope Valley summers, call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through it.
We work in Sun Village regularly and know the 93552 homes well. Most are 1980s and 1990s tract builds on slab foundations, a handful of older ranch-style places mixed in. That shapes how we plan a remodel before we ever swing a hammer.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Sun Village’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. When you call about a kitchen remodel in Sun Village, you get a live person on the phone, any hour. Not a voicemail, not an out-of-state call center. Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable, so before you sign anything you can look us up the way you’d look up anyone working around your home.
Sun Village homeowners call us because the last contractor they tried quoted one price on the phone and presented a different number at the door. That’s the thing we refuse to do. Every scope, allowance, and price change gets written down and handed to you as a change order before a single nail moves. No surprises at the end. And we back every completed job with our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract where you can see it.
Because Sun Village sits in unincorporated LA County, permits run through Los Angeles County’s Department of Public Works rather than a city building department. That changes how inspections get scheduled and how long they can take. We’ve been through that process enough to build it into our timeline properly, rather than promising a date and blaming the county later. We pull permits on every eligible job and stay until the inspector signs off.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Sun Village
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Sun Village usually means taking the room down to studs and rebuilding it to fit how you actually cook and gather. For the tract homes that dominate 93552, that often involves removing a wall between the kitchen and living space, which requires checking the slab and the roof load path carefully. We handle the full scope: layout, framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, cabinets, counters, flooring, and finish work. Expect a full remodel to run $14,000 to $45,000 depending on size and selections.
Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz, names you can look up rather than mystery brands off a van. In Sun Village’s dry high-desert air, solid wood doors and quality laminate boxes hold their alignment better than cheap particleboard, especially through the wide seasonal swings in temperature and humidity. Cabinet installation alone runs $4,000 to $13,000, and countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
A backsplash is one of the smallest line items in a Sun Village kitchen remodel and one of the most visible. Tile installation for backsplashes runs $800 to $2,500 for a typical kitchen. For flooring, we look at what’s under the existing tile or vinyl. Many Sun Village slabs have cracking that shows up through flooring within a few years, so we talk through isolation membranes and crack-suppression options before laying tile, especially on slabs that already show heave patterns near doorways.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Layout is where you either love the kitchen for decades or curse it every morning. We sit down with you and draw the space to scale, then talk about work triangles, counter depth, walkways, and how your family actually uses the room. In the smaller kitchens common to Sun Village tract homes, smart layout matters more than adding square footage. A well-planned design can add function without adding cost. We also handle Kitchen Remodeling projects of every size, from full rebuilds down to cabinet refacing and island additions.

Trusted Brands We Service in Sun Village
We carry and install brands that have real warranties and real reputations: Schluter systems for waterproofing and crack isolation under tile, and Grohe fixtures in kitchens where it fits the design. We don’t push whatever is on the truck. You pick, we install, and we stand behind the work. If you’re comparing a few Sun Village bids, ask the other contractor which exact cabinet and counter lines they’re quoting. We’ll tell you ours by name, in writing.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Sun Village Homes
- Slab movement cracking tile and grout. The adobe clay under Sun Village slabs swells when winter and spring rains arrive, then contracts hard through the dry summer. That seasonal heave-and-shrink cycle cracks tile, grout, and sometimes cabinet seams. A proper isolation membrane before tile installation makes a real difference here.
- Misdiagnosed “settling” around kitchen doorways. Homeowners tell us the house is settling. What we usually find is repetitive seasonal heave concentrated near door thresholds and garage-slab edges. If your kitchen door sticks every winter and swings freely in August, the slab is moving, not sinking.
- Heat- and UV-aged cabinet finishes. Sun Village routinely pushes past 100°F in summer, and windows facing west or south let in serious UV. Laminate and painted cabinet faces fade and delaminate years faster than in coastal LA. We recommend finishes and placement with that exposure in mind.
- Hallway-width kitchens with no island room. Many 1980s tract kitchens in 93552 were built narrow. Homeowners often want a kitchen island before realizing the existing layout won’t support one without opening a wall. We’ll tell you honestly if an island fits, and what it takes if it doesn’t, before you spend money on the dream.

Kitchen remodeling in Sun Village runs about the same as Palmdale or Lancaster for materials and labor.

Only if you change the scope, and any change comes to you as a written change order with the new price before work continues. We don’t do verbal additions that turn into a bigger bill at the end. If the allowance isn’t on paper, as Tom says, it’s a surprise waiting for a date.
