Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cameron Park’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and the name on the truck is the same name you’ll see on the permit. Tom Barrett publishes his name, address, and license number. You can look it up before you sign anything. We’re not a franchise sending strangers from three counties over. The crew on your Cameron Park kitchen will be Tom’s sons and their teams.
Cameron Park homeowners call us because we show up when we say we will and every price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. No allowance gets spent on your dime without a signature. That matters when you’re four weeks into a remodel and the inspector flags a Chapter 7A vent requirement nobody mentioned at the bid stage. And no, we do not surprise you at the end. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we like him.
Every completed kitchen remodel in Cameron Park carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Cameron Park
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full Kitchen Remodeling project in Cameron Park means gutting to studs on most 1960s through 1980s homes, which is the bulk of our work here. We handle demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, counters, and finish work under one contract. On homes in the Wildland-Urban Interface zone, we coordinate with El Dorado County to ensure any newly exposed wall or ceiling meets ignition-resistant material requirements before drywall goes up.

Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinet installation in Cameron Park runs $4,000 to $13,000 depending on whether you’re refacing, replacing boxes, or doing a full custom layout. Countertop installation adds $2,000 to $6,500 for quartz or granite. We stock and install lines you can look up: KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz. No mystery brands off a van. For Cameron Park kitchens that sit against oak-studded slopes and catch intense afternoon sun, we recommend quartz over granite in most cases. It handles the dry heat better and won’t absorb the red wine or olive oil the way some porous natural stones do.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Cameron Park homes typically costs $800 to $2,500 depending on material and square footage. Tile flooring in kitchens runs on the same project timeline and often pairs with a full remodel. Freeze-thaw cycles at Cameron Park’s 1,500 to 2,000 foot elevation mean tile needs proper expansion joints and a rock-solid subfloor. We see a lot of cracked tile from valley contractors who set directly on old plywood without accounting for the foothill temperature swings.

Kitchen Design & Layout
Many Cameron Park ranches and split-levels were laid out for 1970s cooking habits, which means a closed-off galley kitchen with one cook and no island. We regularly open load-bearing walls, move plumbing, and redesign the flow so the kitchen works for how you actually live. Kitchen island installation runs $3,000 to $10,000 in Cameron Park. If your lot slopes toward the airport approaches, we factor FAA Part 77 clearance into any design involving tall structural changes near the runway ends.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cameron Park
We install Schluter waterproofing systems under tile and stone in Cameron Park kitchens, which matters in a foothill climate where seasonal humidity swings can swell wood and crack grout lines. For countertops, we stock Cambria quartz and granite slabs you can inspect before cutting. Cameron Park homeowners who care about long-term durability in a fire-prone zone lean toward materials that don’t need replacing after the first freeze-thaw cycle. We keep local inventory for the brands we install, so a damaged cabinet door or a bad Schluter drain doesn’t mean waiting three weeks for a part from a warehouse in another state.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Cameron Park Homes
- Wildland-Urban Interface code triggers. Open up a kitchen wall in a 1970s Cameron Park ranch and El Dorado County may require ember-resistant vents, ignition-resistant siding at the exterior, and Class A roofing on connected overhangs. We plan for this before demolition starts so it doesn’t become a surprise change order.
- Sloped lots and drainage surprises. Many Cameron Park lots pitch toward oak drainage areas. Moving a sink or refrigerator across a slab floor can uncover old water intrusion that was never addressed. We write it up as soon as we see it. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
- Freeze-thaw damage to subfloors and tile. We see cracked grout, popped tiles, and swollen subfloor at the foothill elevation. Valley crews often miss it because they don’t deal with hard freezes the way Cameron Park does.
- Cabinet box failures from dry summers. Original particleboard cabinet boxes in 1970s and 1980s Cameron Park homes warp and crumble after 40 years of dry Sierra heat. Refacing is sometimes possible, but in many cases the boxes are shot and the better investment is new carcasses with solid plywood construction.

What moves the number in Cameron Park is the age of the framing, whether you’re crossing a WUI permit threshold, and how much plumbing you’re relocating.

If the scope changes, you get a written change order before we move. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Cameron Park
Once you sign the contract and we file permits with El Dorado County, plan on two to three weeks before demolition begins. Permits for Cameron Park route through Placerville, not a local city hall, so a kitchen remodel permit takes slightly longer than a comparable project in an incorporated city. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a straight timeline for your specific lot.
Yes. We work in every part of the 95682 ZIP, including the ridge lots off Cameron Park Drive, the homes near the country club, and the flatter streets closer to the airport. If you’re in an HOA community with architectural review requirements, we’ll help you assemble the submittal package. That’s part of the job.
Kitchen remodels in Cameron Park run $14,000 to $45,000, which is comparable to what you’d pay in most El Dorado County foothill communities but often higher than flatland Sacramento neighborhoods because of WUI material requirements and the longer permit timeline through the county building department. Small kitchen remodels in Cameron Park start around $9,000.
Not without your signature. If we open a wall and find rotted framing or a plumbing line that has to move, we stop, write up the change order with a fixed price, and you approve it before we spend a dollar. No allowances hidden in the bid. No end-of-job surprise invoice.
Every completed kitchen remodel is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right. One call. We also honor manufacturer warranties on Schluter, KraftMaid, Cambria, and every other brand we install.
