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

Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still shows up on job sites in Austin with his sons running the crews. You’ll see the same faces from the first estimate to the final walkthrough. That matters in a city where the kitchen remodeling market is crowded with out-of-town outfits that sub out the work to whoever’s available.

Austin homeowners call us because the price we quote is the price that hits the contract, and every change to that price comes to you in writing before we touch anything. If an allowance isn’t on paper, as Tom likes to say, it’s a surprise waiting for a date. We publish our name, our address, and our license number. You can look us up before you sign. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, and a live person answers the phone all day, every day.

We’ve remodeled kitchens in Austin long enough to know what the east side clay does to a slab and what a Heritage Tree review does to a schedule in Hyde Park. That local knowledge shapes how we estimate, how we schedule, and how we build. We’re also the team you’ll run into at the hardware store on a Saturday, and we’d rather leave your kitchen done right than rush it and have to explain ourselves later. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back if something isn’t right.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Austin

Full Kitchen Remodeling

This is the whole thing: demo, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, flooring, cabinets, counters, backsplash, paint. In Austin, full remodels on the east side often run into clay-movement issues that call for foundation evaluation before we build, while remodels west of I-35 sometimes need rock removal for plumbing reroutes. We plan for both. Every full remodel we do includes permits pulled and inspections signed before we call it done.

Cabinets & Countertops

We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz, materials you can look up and verify before they go into your home. Cabinet jobs in Austin run from about $4,000 for a reface to $13,000 for a full replacement with new boxes, and countertops typically land between $2,000 and $6,500 depending on square footage and material. We measure twice, order once, and marry the joint with a straight story about lead times.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Backsplash work in Austin homes usually costs between $800 and $2,500, and it’s one of the quickest ways to change the whole feel of a kitchen without opening a wall. We work with the same Kitchen Remodeling team members from design through grout, and we’ll tell you if your subfloor needs attention before tile goes down. Older pier-and-beam houses in Central Austin often need floor leveling first, and we know how to handle that without turning your home into a science project.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Most Austin kitchens we see fall into two camps: the 1920s-through-1950s bungalow with the kitchen stuck against the back wall and no storage, or the 1990s builder-grade kitchen with an awkward peninsula. We redesign layouts around how you cook, not around a spec sheet. Our design conversations happen at your table, with samples in hand and a written scope that shows exactly what’s moving and what’s staying.

Trusted Brands We Service in Austin

We carry Schluter and Grohe in our Austin kitchen work, and we install them the way the manufacturers specify. That matters if a warranty claim ever comes up. We stock common hardware and trim pieces locally for Austin customers, which means we’re not waiting on a slow freight order to finish your sink install. If you already have a brand in mind, bring it up at the estimate and we’ll tell you honestly how it fits the budget and the house.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Austin Homes

• Movement cracks on the east side. The Blackland Prairie clay under Austin swells and shrinks with every drought and rain cycle, and kitchens built on slab foundations often show hairline cracks at tile-to-wall transitions. We evaluate before we install so the new backsplash doesn’t telegraph the same crack a year later.
• Heritage Tree permit delays. If your Hyde Park or Clarksville kitchen addition pushes toward a protected live oak, Austin’s Heritage Tree Ordinance means a certified arborist survey and city review before we dig. We build that window into the schedule so you’re not surprised by a two-week permit pause.
• Knob-and-tube wiring in older bungalows. Travis Heights, Bouldin Creek, and parts of 78704 still have plenty of 1920s-1940s electrical work hiding behind plaster. A kitchen remodel that adds outlets and appliances often requires updated circuits, and we plan for that on paper before demolition day.
• Undersized water lines and old shutoff valves. Many Austin kitchens still run on half-inch supply lines that can’t keep up with a modern faucet and dishwasher. We upgrade the plumbing inside the wall while it’s open, which saves you a tear-out later.
