Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Taylor’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons is the name on the truck: Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. Homeowners calling the national outfits often get a quote on the phone and a different bill at the door. Around Taylor, people have gotten tired of that. Our reviews from Taylor customers reflect the same thing we hear at the hardware store on a Saturday morning: the price on the signed contract is the price on the final invoice, because every scope change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves.
We know this town. We know that Taylor homeowners in the older grid streets near downtown are often working with pier-and-beam foundations that shift with Blackland Prairie soil, and that new subdivisions near the Samsung site are fighting for subcontractor time. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look them up. We want you to. And we back every kitchen we touch with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it isn’t done right, Tom comes back and makes it right with one call.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Taylor
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full gut and rebuild in Taylor means working with whatever the 1960s builder left behind, which is often a mix of cast-iron plumbing, cloth-wrapped wiring, and cabinets nailed to studs in ways that make you wonder who signed off on it. We handle the whole job: demo, rough-in, drywall, flooring, cabinets, counters, backsplash, lighting, trim. Permits get pulled on every eligible job, and the inspector signs off before we call it done. Budget $14,000 to $45,000 depending on footprint and material grade.
Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz, or we can reface what you already have if the boxes are square and the budget is tighter. Cabinet installation in Taylor runs $4,000 to $13,000; countertops run $2,000 to $6,500. If you’re working with a shorter lead time, refacing can often be scheduled faster than full replacement, which matters in a town where subcontractor calendars have stretched since the fab broke ground.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Taylor runs $800 to $2,500 for a standard kitchen. We’ve laid tile in early-1900s bungalows where the walls haven’t been square since the Eisenhower administration, and we’ve laid it in brand-new builds where the drywall is still settling. The prep work differs, but the standard doesn’t. We also float and level floors where slab movement from expansive clay has left dips that will crack rigid tile within a year if they aren’t addressed first.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Taylor’s older homes often have kitchens built for a different era: 8-foot ceilings, single overhead light, cabinets that stop 18 inches short of the ceiling. We redesign layouts for how people actually live now, which usually means better storage, more counter space, and lighting you can see by. Small and partial remodels start around $9,000. No design fee is charged when the work is under contract with us.

Trusted Brands We Service in Taylor
We install KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens, and we keep relationships with suppliers who actually stock for the Taylor market, which means fewer of those surprise six-week backorders that stall a project mid-demo. We also carry Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers for the outdoor connections: kitchen walkouts, patios, and the hardscape between your back door and wherever the smoker lives. Materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Taylor Homes
- Pier-and-beam floor deflection in the older grid streets. Homes near downtown Taylor, many built between the 1920s and 1960s, sit on pier-and-beam foundations that were never engineered for Blackland Prairie soil movement. Cabinets and counters installed without addressing floor level will rack and gap within a couple of years.
- Expansive clay stressing slabs in new subdivisions. The post-2010 developments east and north of town sit on soils that swell after heavy rain and crack during drought. Proper floor prep and flexible transition planning matter more in Taylor than in the Hill Country to the west.
- Subcontractor gaps from the Samsung boom. Concrete, framing, and mechanical crews that once booked out two to four weeks in Taylor now need three to six months of lead time. We plan material selections and change orders early so the job doesn’t stall while a crew finishes a fab-site pour.
- Older homes with unpermitted kitchen work from previous owners. We see it regularly: a prior homeowner gutted the kitchen, moved a sink, or pulled a wall without permits. When we open the walls, we find what’s missing. We fix it to code and pull the permits that should have been pulled the first time.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Taylor
Most Taylor kitchen remodels can start within two to four weeks of a signed contract, depending on material lead times and current subcontractor availability.
