AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Celina
Kitchen remodeling in Celina typically runs $14,000-$45,000 for a full renovation, with smaller projects like backsplash installation landing between $800 and $2,500. Most of the work we take on here sits in master-planned communities like Light Farms and Mustang Lakes, where homes are newer but kitchens were built to production-builder spec, not to how anyone actually cooks. If you live in 75009 and have been putting off a kitchen that doesn’t work, call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318. We’ll come out, walk the space with you, and put every number in writing before work starts.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Celina’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett still answers his own phone. That matters in Celina because a lot of what passes for “local service” here is a national outfit sending a rotating cast of crews they picked up that morning. If you hire us, Tom and his sons are on-site most days, and every crew member who carries the Barrett & Sons name has been background-checked.
Celina homeowners tell us the same story over and over: they got burned before by a company that quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. We don’t work that way. Every scope change, every allowance, every material substitution arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. And the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. That’s the kind of thing that earns a reputation in a town where people still talk to their neighbors.
We also know Celina’s inspection cycle better than most. The city’s building department has been running years behind because so many subdivisions are still under active build-out. That means a kitchen remodel here needs a contractor who schedules for inspection wait times instead of acting surprised when the rough-in inspection takes three weeks. We plan for it from day one.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Celina
We’re the Kitchen Remodeling team for Celina homeowners, and we handle everything from a small galley refresh to a full gut and rebuild. Here’s what we do most often in 75009.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Celina usually means tearing out a builder-grade kitchen that’s five to ten years old and replacing everything: cabinets, counters, flooring, lighting, layout. Homes here were built fast during the boom, and the kitchens show it. We rebuild them to last, with permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job.
Cabinets & Countertops
Most Celina kitchens came with stock cabinets and laminate counters. We replace them with KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria or quartz counters that you can actually look up before you buy. Cabinet installation in Celina typically runs $4,000-$13,000, and countertop installation runs $2,000-$6,500, depending on material and square footage.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Celina’s hard water and the North Texas clay dust that tracks in from every backyard mean your backsplash and flooring take more abuse than most people expect. We set tile that holds up to it. Backsplash installation runs $800-$2,500 on most Celina kitchens, and we’ll show you samples before a single tile gets set.
Kitchen Design & Layout
One thing we see constantly in Celina spec homes: the kitchen technically has an island, but it blocks the fridge or cuts the walkway to the pantry down to two feet. We redesign layouts around how your family actually moves through the room. No charge for the design conversation. If the plan requires a wall change or a utility reroute, it goes into the written scope before work begins.

Trusted Brands We Service in Celina
We install brands you can verify, not mystery products off a van. KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens, plus PGT and Simonton on windows and doors when a kitchen remodel grows into an opening change or a slider replacement. We order directly from authorized local distributors, which keeps lead times shorter for Celina customers than going through a national reseller. If a product shows up damaged or wrong, we handle the replacement. You don’t chase anyone.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Celina Homes
- Builder-grade cabinets that start failing at year five: Celina’s growth happened so fast that a lot of kitchens were built with particle-board cabinets that swell and delaminate the first time a pot overflows. We see it in nearly every Light Farms and Mustang Lakes home built before 2020.
- Post-tension slab constraints: Almost every home in Celina sits on a post-tension engineered slab. That’s good for the foundation but means you can’t just trench wherever you want for a sink move or gas line. We map the slab before any layout change, and we pull the permit before we cut.
- Hard water and mineral buildup: Celina sits on the Black Land Prairie, and the water shows it. Cheap builder fixtures and unsealed stone counters are already showing scale and staining within a few years. We spec materials that handle it.
- Inspection backlog delays: We touched on this earlier, but it’s worth repeating because it keeps biting contractors who don’t plan for it. Celina’s building department is stretched across a dozen active subdivisions. We schedule rough-in and framing inspections weeks ahead and build that wait time into the timeline we give you up front.

Not meaningfully. We see Celina pricing land right in line with Prosper and Frisco: a full kitchen runs $14,000-$45,000. The bigger variable is inspection wait times, not material costs.

Yes. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. That’s non-negotiable. The last contractor a lot of Celina homeowners used told them permits were optional. They’re not, and the inspector works for you, not me. That’s why we like having him involved.
