AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Cedar Park
A full kitchen remodel in Cedar Park typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, and smaller partial remodels land between $9,000 and $20,000. The biggest variable isn’t cabinetry or countertops. It’s what’s under the slab: Cedar Park sits on Vertisol expansive clay over shallow limestone, and the post-tension concrete foundations poured during the early-2000s building boom have moved through two decades of drought and rain cycles. Before a single cabinet goes in, the right contractor is checking what that slab has been doing. That’s the work we do at Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been doing it since 1998. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cedar Park’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. When you call, a live person answers: no voicemail box, no out-of-state call center. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers to your door. The people who show up carry the Barrett name, and most days Tom is on-site with them.
Cedar Park homeowners have dealt with plenty of out-of-town contractors who quote one number on the phone and hand over a different bill at the end. We do the opposite: every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. If the price moves, you see it on paper first. That’s not a policy. That’s the whole way we run jobs.
We also pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible kitchen remodel. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. We like it that way. When you look up our license number, you’ll find Tom Barrett’s name and address attached to it. Ask anyone on your street, or look us up yourself.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Cedar Park
Our Kitchen Remodeling team covers the full scope, from layout and design through final inspection. Here are the services Cedar Park homeowners ask about most.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Cedar Park means tearing down to studs or shell, reworking the layout, updating plumbing and electrical, and rebuilding with materials that can handle this climate. We account for slab movement, drainage, and the reality that a kitchen built in dry July has to survive wet November. Every full remodel includes written allowances for cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures so there’s no surprise at the end.
Cabinets & Countertops
Cedar Park homes range from 1990s production builds in Buttercup Creek to newer construction along the 78613 corridor. Cabinet styles and counter materials need to match the home, not just the trend. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz regularly, both brands you can look up and verify. Quartz and granite countertops in Cedar Park run $2,000 to $6,500 depending on slab size and edge profile.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Tile work on an expansive-clay slab requires prep that flat-slab cities never think about. If the slab has moved, a new tile backsplash installed without addressing the underlying movement will crack at the grout lines within a season or two. We check for level before we set tile, and we tell you what we find. In the 78613 homes built during the early-2000s boom, that conversation happens more often than not.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Good design in Cedar Park respects how the house was built. Post-tension slabs mean you don’t freely cut wherever a new island looks right: plumbing moves require GPR scanning to locate embedded steel cables first. We design around that reality instead of pretending it doesn’t exist. The result is a kitchen that works for how you actually cook and gather, without voiding a structural warranty in the process.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cedar Park
We carry premium materials across every trade because we want you to be able to look up what’s going into your home. In kitchens, that means KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz. On the exterior side of a kitchen remodel, for new windows or doors, we work with Simonton, Ply Gem, and Andersen products, all name-brand and documented. The benefit for Cedar Park homeowners is simple: when a product fails, you call the manufacturer and you have a real warranty, not a mystery brand off a van. We keep our local supply chain tight so lead times stay predictable.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Cedar Park Homes
- Settled slab perimeters near exterior walls. In subdivisions like Buttercup Creek, drainage grades were often set to builder minimum spec and have since settled toward the foundation. We regularly find the floor dropping 1/2 to 5/8 inch near the sink wall before we even start cabinet removal.
- Post-tension cable strikes during slab cuts. Cutting into a post-tension slab without GPR scanning can sever a steel cable and void the structural warranty on a 15 to 25 year old home. We scan first, every time.
- Drainage that worked in 2004 and doesn’t work now. Cedar Park’s wet-dry cycling on Vertisol clay shifts soil enough that original drainage grades now slope toward the foundation instead of away. A new kitchen addition that doesn’t fix this wicks water at the foundation edge within the first storm season.
- Builder-grade materials at end of life. The production-built homes from DR Horton, Lennar, and KB Home during the late-1990s through mid-2000s used cabinets, counters, and plumbing fixtures that were never meant to last 20 years. They’re hitting failure age in the same window, often all at once.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Cedar Park
Yes, in most cases. Even a cabinet and countertop replacement that involves electrical or plumbing work triggers a permit in Cedar Park. If you’re cutting into a post-tension slab for a new island or moving a sink rough-in, the permit requirement is certain. We pull permits on every eligible job, and the inspection gets signed before we call it done. If a contractor tells you permits are optional, that’s the first red flag. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your specific scope requires.
Because Cedar Park’s post-tension slab homes have embedded steel cables running through the concrete under tension, and hitting one with a saw blade can sever the cable, release the tension, and void your home’s structural warranty. GPR (ground-penetrating radar) maps where those cables are before any cut happens. This step is standard on 78613 and 78630 homes built during the boom years, and any contractor who skips it is gambling with your foundation. We include GPR scanning in the quote for any island or plumbing move.
Likely yes, unless the underlying slab movement is corrected first. On Cedar Park’s Vertisol clay, settled slab perimeters are common in Buttercup Creek and Forest Oaks homes from the early-2000s. Tile set over a moving subfloor will crack at the grout lines, often within the first wet-dry cycle. We correct the floor with a flush beam or leveling plan before tile work starts, and we’ll tell you exactly what we found and what it costs before anything gets installed.
A compliant quote includes permit fees, inspection sign-off, GPR scanning before any slab cut, drainage correction if the perimeter grade has settled, and properly flashed exterior penetrations for any new window or door. Cedar Park sits in a severe hail corridor, so exterior work tied to a kitchen remodel, like a new exterior kitchen door or a window replacement, needs to meet current wind-load and impact standards. The cheap quote skips the permit, skips the scan, and skips the flashing. Then the first storm finds the gap. Call (877) 610-1318 for a line-item quote, and compare it side by side.
It can, and that’s usually a good thing: documented, permitted work with a signed inspection record demonstrates to your insurer that the new door meets current wind-load and hail-resistance requirements for this region. That documentation can support a premium adjustment or improve your claim outcome after a storm. We document everything: permit number, inspection date, product ratings. You get the paper trail. If a contractor won’t put that in writing, walk away.
