AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Cold Springs
A full kitchen remodel in Cold Springs, NV typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, depending on the footprint, cabinet grade, countertop material, and how much structural work the county inspector requires. Most of the kitchens we rebuild in the 89508 zip code fall in the $18,000 to $32,000 range for a complete gut and refresh. If you’re reading this from a 2000s-era tract home off US-395 or Red Rock Road, you already know the housing stock here has its own quirks, and we’ve worked around most of them. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out, talk through the scope on paper, and give you a written line-item estimate before anything gets touched.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Cold Springs’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and the company has stayed owner-operated ever since. Tom’s sons run the crews, and Tom himself shows up on most Cold Springs job sites at least once a week. You’re not getting a rotating cast of strangers in a van. You’re getting the same names on the truck that are on the contract.
Cold Springs is its own animal. It’s unincorporated Washoe County, so permits and inspections run through the county building department, not the City of Reno. A lot of contractors who mostly work Sparks or Reno don’t know how differently the county handles kitchen remodels, and that confusion usually shows up on the customer’s bill. We do know, because we’ve pulled county permits here repeatedly and sat through the inspections. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and I like it that way.
We also carry a written 90-Day Done Right Promise on every Kitchen Remodeling job. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Cold Springs
Full Kitchen Remodeling
Most Cold Springs homes we work in are 15 to 25 years old now, and the original builder-grade kitchens were put in fast. Cabinets with pressboard sides, laminate counters, cheap faucets, and the same golden-oak trim in every house on the block. A full remodel here usually means pulling it all down to studs, relocating a wall or two, upgrading the electrical to code, and rebuilding with materials that hold up to the high-desert dry air. We scope everything in writing before we start, including the demo plan and the county permit requirements.
Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinet installation in Cold Springs runs $4,000 to $13,000 depending on whether you’re refacing what’s there or going with new KraftMaid cabinets. Countertop installation is $2,000 to $6,500, and most homeowners here pair quartz or Cambria with a full-height backsplash. We measure every cabinet run twice, because the 2000s-era tract homes here have slab foundations that settle, and a cabinet that was square 20 years ago is rarely square now.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash work in Cold Springs typically runs $800 to $2,500, and tile and flooring add to that depending on the square footage. The freeze-thaw cycling up here at 4,900 feet matters less indoors, but it still affects how we prep subfloors and expansion joints. We’ve seen tile crack within a year of installation when a contractor skipped the proper underlayment, and we won’t make that mistake. We also handle Bathroom Remodeling in Cold Springs if you want the same crew to handle both rooms while we’re at it.
Kitchen Design & Layout
The single-story and two-story stucco tract houses in Cold Springs often have galley kitchens or boxed-in U-shapes that don’t use the space well. We walk the room with you, measure everything, and put a layout on paper before we touch a single nail. When the layout changes, the change order comes in writing. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cold Springs
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. In kitchens, that means KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz, with PGT impact-rated windows where the county’s WUI rules require them. If you’re doing a larger remodel that touches exterior walls, we also bring the same standard to the envelope. Our Roofing in Cold Springs crew installs GAF and CertainTeed systems, and if that roof has to tie into a kitchen addition, both teams coordinate the schedule so the permit inspections line up. We keep local material availability in mind for Cold Springs, because running back to Reno mid-job for a cabinet filler costs you time.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Cold Springs Homes
- Settling slab foundations. The 2000s-era tract houses in Cold Springs were built quickly, and the slab-on-grade foundations have settled unevenly across many subdivisions. That shows up as cabinet doors that no longer close, countertops that pitch toward one corner, and flooring seams that open up. We check the slab before we set cabinets, and we shim to reality rather than pretending the house is square.
- Undersized range hood ventilation. Many original kitchens in the 89508 zip code came with a recirculating hood that just blows smoke back into the room. If we’re moving walls or adding a gas range, we’ll spec a proper vented hood and route it through the wall or roof to meet Washoe County code.
- WUI fire-hardening requirements. Cold Springs sits in a Wildland-Urban Interface zone, so any remodel that touches the exterior, including a kitchen with a new exhaust penetration, may need ember-resistant vent covers or a Class A-rated exterior assembly. A lot of Reno-based contractors forget this until the county inspector flags it. We plan for it on the front end.
- Freeze-thaw damage around windows and exterior walls. At 4,900 feet with the Washoe Zephyr howling through, any water that gets behind a sink window or an exterior kitchen wall will freeze and expand, cracking stucco and peeling paint. We flash and seal per county detail, not per the cheapest bid.
