Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Cedar Park
A full kitchen remodel in Cedar Park, TX typically runs $14,000-$45,000, with smaller refreshes landing between $9,000 and $20,000. Most projects in the 78613 and 78630 zip codes take four to eight weeks once cabinets arrive, and the single biggest cost driver we see is what’s hiding under the slab. If you own a DR Horton, Lennar, or KB Home build from the early 2000s in Buttercup Creek or Forest Oaks, your kitchen is approaching an age where builder-grade cabinets, glue-down vinyl flooring, and spray-foam-sealed plumbing rough-ins are all failing at once. That’s not a bargain-bin problem. It’s a renovation cycle that has to be done right the first time, by someone who knows why these specific homes fail the way they do. Barrett & Sons has been on Cedar Park job sites long enough to recognize the patterns. Call (877) 610-1318 for a walk-through and a line-item estimate that holds up in writing.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cedar Park’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Ask anyone in an established Cedar Park neighborhood about the contractor who actually answers his phone, and Tom Barrett’s name comes up. That’s not luck, and it’s not advertising. Tom founded Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up on Cedar Park job sites. Not subcontractors you’ve never met. Not a rotating cast of installers. His name is on the truck, and his address and license number are published where anyone can verify them.
We’ve worked in 78613 subdivisions along Whitestone and Parmer Lane long enough to know the difference between a cosmetic kitchen update and a remodel that has to account for a post-tension slab that’s moved in two decades of drought and rehydration. That local experience shapes everything: how we quote, what we catch in the walk-through, and how long we tell you the job will actually take. Cedar Park customers call us because they want the head-on, plain-spoken version of what they’re buying. We give it to them, in writing, before a single nail moves.
Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before the work happens. No surprise invoices at the end. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him. We pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible kitchen remodel in Cedar Park, because the last contractor most of our customers used told them permits were optional.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Cedar Park
Our Kitchen Remodeling team handles the full range of work in Cedar Park, from a small galley refresh to a rear-wall bump-out with a new island. If a bathroom is in the plan too, we also handle Bathroom Remodeling in Cedar Park alongside kitchen work, so one crew manages both spaces without two sets of subcontractors walking through your house. And if a kitchen remodel uncovers a leak that damaged the roof deck or soffit above, our Roofing in Cedar Park crew can address it within the same project scope.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Cedar Park usually means gutting to the studs, replacing the flooring, moving or adding plumbing, and rebuilding cabinetry around a new layout. In 78613 homes on Vertisol clay, we routinely check slab condition and drainage grade before we quote, because a kitchen remodel that ignores a settled perimeter is a kitchen remodel you’ll be revisiting in three years. We sequence the work so your family isn’t eating out of a microwave in the garage for months longer than necessary.

Cabinets & Countertops
Most Cedar Park kitchens from the boom era came with particleboard boxes and thermofoil doors that started peeling around year ten. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz in Cedar Park homes, materials you can look up and price-check before you sign. For customers who want to keep their existing cabinet boxes, we also do refacing and door replacement, though we’ll tell you honestly when new boxes are the better money.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Builder-grade backsplashes in Cedar Park’s production homes were often set over drywall without a waterproof membrane, and the grout lines start cracking after a decade of slab movement. We remove failed tile, prep the wall properly, and install backsplash and flooring that can flex a little without popping. In kitchen remodels where the slab has moved significantly, we’ll discuss tile underlayment and crack-isolation membranes before we commit to a material.

Kitchen Design & Layout
Layout changes in Cedar Park kitchens often hinge on plumbing. Moving a sink across a post-tension slab isn’t a simple trench; it requires locating embedded steel cables with GPR scanning before any concrete gets cut. Homeowners routinely don’t expect that step, and we’d rather tell you about it during the design phase than surprise you during demolition. We plan around the slab, not through it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cedar Park
We don’t install mystery brands off the back of a van. In Cedar Park kitchens, we carry KraftMaid for cabinetry and Cambria for quartz and solid-surface counters, along with Simonton windows when a remodel opens a wall to the backyard. If you’ve got an existing kitchen with Andersen or Marvin windows, we work around them properly rather than forcing a new opening that fights the frame. Because we stock and order these brands consistently for Cedar Park projects, lead times are predictable, and we can pull warranty support directly from the manufacturer when something arrives wrong.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Cedar Park Homes
- Slab movement complicating cabinet and island installs. Post-tension concrete on Vertisol clay moves through wet-dry cycles, and kitchen islands that were dead level in 2005 are often a half-inch out by 2025. We shim, level, and explain where the movement came from before we set anything.
- Builder-grade cabinet boxes failing from the inside out. The particleboard boxes in early-2000s Cedar Park subdivision homes swell and sag once steam and moisture get past the thermofoil shell. By the time a door falls off, the box often isn’t worth saving.
- Drainage grading settled toward the foundation. In 78613 subdivisions built during the boom, perimeter grades were set to builder minimum spec and have since settled the wrong way. If we’re cutting into a slab or adding an addition, we check drainage first and often recommend regrading before interior work starts.
- Plumbing rough-ins that don’t match a new layout. Moving a sink or adding a pot filler in a Cedar Park slab home means working around embedded post-tension cables. We GPR-scan the slab before any cut, which avoids hitting steel and keeps the engineer-required tension system intact.
