AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Anthony
Kitchen remodeling in Anthony, TX typically runs $14,000-$45,000 for a full remodel, with smaller or partial projects starting around $9,000. Our crews work throughout 79821 and the surrounding area, and we coordinate scheduling from our El Paso office so someone can be at your door quickly. The real question in Anthony isn’t whether you can find a contractor. It’s whether that contractor knows the state-line permitting rules, the caliche under your slab, and what waits inside a 1970s kitchen wall. Tom Barrett and his sons have been opening those walls since 1998. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on your Kitchen Remodeling project.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Anthony’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise. Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck, and his sons run the crews. When you call, a live person answers. That matters in Anthony, because you’re going to see us at the hardware store on Doniphan Drive after the job wraps. You’ll want to wave, not cross the street.
Here’s what that means for your kitchen. Every job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. If the permit inspector walks through and finds something, he works for you, not for me. That’s the whole point. Every price change arrives as a written change order before we touch anything. And every completed project carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
We also know this stretch of the border better than a contractor dispatching from Dallas or Phoenix ever could. Anthony sits on the Texas-New Mexico state line, and the unmarked boundary runs through places you’d never expect. Before we pull a permit, we confirm which side of the line your parcel actually sits on. Skip that step and the first inspection can stop the entire job. We don’t skip it.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Anthony
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Anthony means taking the room down to studs and subfloor, and doing it right. That includes new plumbing rough-in, updated electrical with GFCI protection at the counter, new drywall, flooring, cabinets, counters, and finish work. In older Anthony homes, we typically find wiring or framing that predates current code. We handle it with a written change order and an allowance structure that you approve before we proceed. Typical full remodels here run $14,000-$45,000.
Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinets in Anthony kitchens take a beating from heat and sun exposure through west-facing windows. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz surfaces, materials you can look up yourself. For countertops, we template precisely on-site, then fabricate and install. A typical countertop installation in Anthony runs $2,000-$6,500, and cabinet installation typically runs $4,000-$13,000 depending on layout and count.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Many Anthony homes from the 1970s through the 2000s were built with closed-off kitchens and minimal counter runs. A thoughtful layout change can open the room without moving every wall. We’ll walk through how you cook, where the traffic goes, and what cabinet and island placement serves the room best. A new island often runs $3,000-$10,000 installed, and we’ll scope that in writing before work begins.
Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels
Not every kitchen needs a gut job. Sometimes it’s a cabinet reface, a new backsplash, tile flooring, or a sink run replacement. These smaller scopes in Anthony typically run $9,000-$20,000. We treat them with the same care as a full remodel: permits where required, written scope, and the same 90-Day Done Right Promise. Small doesn’t mean sloppy.

Trusted Brands We Service in Anthony
We carry materials with names you can verify. KraftMaid and Cambria in the kitchen. Schluter waterproofing systems behind tile and under flooring. Grohe fixtures when you want German engineering on the faucet. We don’t stock mystery brands off a van. If a brand has a spec sheet, our sons read it before it goes in your house. That’s the standard for every job in Anthony, and it’s not negotiable.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Anthony Homes
- Caliche under the sink run. The rock-hard calcium carbonate layer just below the desert surface turns a simple plumbing relocation into jackhammer work. Contractors who price without accounting for it will either eat the loss or surprise you at the end. We write caliche risk into the allowance up front, so you know the range before we dig.
- Undersized or rotted framing behind the sink. In 1970s slab-on-grade Anthony homes, we regularly open walls to find failed waterproofing and framing that needs sistering. We stop, photograph it, price the fix in a written change order, and wait for your approval before we touch it.
- Aluminum wiring from the original build. Older Anthony kitchens often have aluminum branch circuits that don’t meet current code for countertop appliances. Once the wall is open, the inspector will flag it. We plan for this in the electrical allowance so the upgrade doesn’t become a surprise invoice.
- State-line permitting confusion. A kitchen at 79821 can sit steps from Anthony, NM, and if any material staging or equipment crosses the unmarked line, you can trigger dual-state jurisdiction questions. We verify parcel location before pulling any permit. This is not something a contractor from outside the area thinks about, and it’s the fastest way to get a job red-tagged.

Handling the Surprise Inside Your Anthony Walls
Here’s the page you won’t find on a national remodeling site, because it only applies to Anthony. This city sits directly on the Texas-New Mexico state line, and the sister community of Anthony, NM starts where Anthony, TX stops. For a kitchen remodel at 79821, that means a single project can raise a question no other neighboring city faces: if equipment or material staging crosses the unmarked boundary, are you now working in Doña Ana County under New Mexico jurisdiction? The answer isn’t always obvious from the street. So before we pull a single permit, we confirm the parcel’s state on record. We’ve done it for enough Anthony jobs to know it saves a red-tag inspection and a stopped job. No neighboring contractor has to think about this. We do, every time.
On a 1970s slab-on-grade home off Wildcat Drive, our crew opened a kitchen wall for a cabinet run and found undersized framing and failed waterproofing behind the sink. We stopped work, wrote a change order for sistering load-bearing studs and re-flashing the rim joist, priced it before touching anything, and after county inspection sign-off we closed the wall and installed KraftMaid cabinets within the original allowance. That’s how it should go. That’s how it goes with us.
There’s also the caliche. Anthony’s desert soil hides a rock-hard calcium carbonate layer just under the surface. Moving a sink or island plumbing means jackhammering through it. A contractor who priced the job assuming soft soil now has a problem. We write caliche risk into the plumbing and electrical allowances on every Anthony kitchen remodel, so the number you approved is the number you understand before dirt gets moved.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Anthony
No, if your parcel is actually on the New Mexico side, you need a Doña Ana County permit, not a Texas one. We verify the parcel’s state of record before we pull anything. It’s the first thing we check on every Anthony job, because the line is unmarked and homes near it get misassigned all the time. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through it.
We stop work, photograph it, and write a change order that lists the exact scope and price to bring the circuit to code. You approve it in writing before we proceed. The allowance for electrical upgrades is already in your contract, so this isn’t a phone call you dread. It’s the process working.
We budget for it up front. Caliche in Anthony is common enough that we write it into the plumbing and electrical allowances rather than discovering it halfway through. If we hit a thicker layer than expected, you get a written change order before we bring in larger equipment or adjust the scope. No surprise invoices.
Yes, the county inspection is part of the permit process, and we handle scheduling and coordination. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s exactly why we want the inspection signed before drywall goes up. It protects you. We never close a wall in Anthony without the inspection passing.
Two reasons: caliche under the slab adds excavation time and equipment cost when plumbing moves, and the state-line permitting verification adds a step El Paso projects don’t have. The soil and the boundary are facts of working in Anthony. A contractor who quotes like it’s El Paso is either inexperienced here or leaving something out. We’d rather tell you the truth up front. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
