AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Colleyville
A full kitchen remodel in Colleyville typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, depending on whether you’re replacing cabinets and counters in place or reconfiguring the entire footprint. Small and partial remodels land between $9,000 and $20,000. The biggest variable on the high end here isn’t materials, it’s the lot: Colleyville’s tight setbacks, impervious-cover rules, and expansive clay soils mean a bump-out or layout change often requires a variance request before the permit is ever issued. That’s not true in newer-growth suburbs, and it catches a lot of out-of-town contractors off guard.
Barrett & Sons Construction works Colleyville jobs every week. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews, not subcontractors you’ll never see twice. We live in the metro, we know Colleyville’s building department, and we know what a 1990s custom estate off Pleasant Run Road looks like under the slab. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person answers, 24/7. Not a call center. Not a voicemail box.
Key Takeaways:
- Colleyville kitchen remodels cost $14,000-$45,000 for full projects, $9,000-$20,000 for small/partial remodels.
- Every eligible job includes permits pulled and inspections signed, with written change orders before any scope change.
- Colleyville’s landlocked zoning and clay soil make pre-permit site analysis a billable, non-negotiable first step.
- The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: if it’s not right, one call brings Tom back.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Colleyville’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’ve been owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett publishes his name, address, and license number. Look us up before you sign anything. That’s the point. Most Colleyville customers we work with have already been burned once by a national outfit that quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. We don’t play that game. Every allowance, every scope change, every price adjustment arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
We answer our own phone, 24 hours a day. When you call about a kitchen remodel in Colleyville, you’re talking to someone who knows what a variance request to Colleyville’s planning department actually costs in time and paperwork. We’re not dispatching strangers from an out-of-state call center. Our crew members are background-checked and uniformed on every visit, and Tom’s sons are on-site most days. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
We offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another contractor. If a national company quoted you $28,000 and the scope feels thin, bring it to us. We’ll walk it line by line. No trip charge inside the county.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Colleyville
We’re not a franchise. We’re a full Kitchen Remodeling company with KraftMaid and Cambria depth, and we handle the job from first measurement to final inspection. Here’s what we do most often in Colleyville’s housing stock, which skews heavily toward large custom homes built between 1985 and 2005.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full remodel in Colleyville usually means gutting a 3,500 to 6,000 square foot home’s kitchen down to studs, reworking layout, and rebuilding with premium materials. These homes were built by individual builders, not tract developers, so framing is rarely standard. We sequence foundation evaluation before rough-in, because Colleyville’s clay soil doesn’t care how nice your Cambria quartz is going to look.
Kitchen Design & Layout
On a tight Colleyville lot, design is where the real money is saved or lost. We map your existing footprint against Colleyville’s setback and impervious-cover rules before you fall in love with a layout the city won’t permit. A bump-out that works in a new Southlake development might need a variance in Colleyville. That’s the difference between a two-week demo and a two-month wait.
Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinet installation in Colleyville runs $4,000 to $13,000. Countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz as our default premium lines, and we measure everything on-site before ordering. Colleyville’s original solid-wood cabinetry is worth salvaging or refacing in some mid-1990s homes. We’ll tell you honestly if refacing makes more sense than replacement.
Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels
Not every Colleyville kitchen needs a gut. A partial remodel, $9,000 to $20,000, covers new countertops, backsplash, refaced cabinets, an island upgrade, or new flooring. These jobs still need permits when structural changes are involved, and we still pull them. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.

Trusted Brands We Service in Colleyville
We install materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. In Colleyville kitchens, we’re regularly working with KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz, and we stock local parts and hardware through our metro suppliers to keep turnarounds short. We also work with premium paver and hardscape lines like Techo-Bloc and Belgard when a kitchen remodel extends into an adjacent outdoor living space or patio. You’ll know exactly what’s going into your home before it arrives, and it’ll be a named product with a manufacturer’s warranty behind it.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Colleyville Homes
- Expansive clay slab movement. Colleyville sits on Blackland Prairie clay that shrinks and heaves through dry summers and wet springs. A kitchen island installed without checking the slab will crack tile and misalign cabinet doors within the first wet-dry cycle. We coordinate with foundation specialists before layout changes on most jobs.
- Work-hour noise ordinances on tight lots. Colleyville enforces strict work-hour rules, and when homes sit close together, a single early-morning demo triggers neighbor complaints and stop-work orders before your first inspection. We schedule loud work within the allowed window and post notice on shared walls days before demolition starts.
- Variance and overlay-district permit delays. Colleyville’s zoning enforces tight impervious-cover and setback rules that don’t exist in newer-growth suburbs. A kitchen bump-out or reconfiguration often needs a variance request, and underestimating that review time stalls a two-week demo into a two-month wait, which blows your draw schedule.
- Non-standard framing in custom builds. Colleyville’s dominant housing stock, custom single-family homes from 1985 to 2005, rarely uses repeatable tract framing. Every job needs site-specific planning. A crew that’s only done production subdivisions will get lost the first time a bearing wall doesn’t line up with the plan.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Colleyville
Colleyville’s impervious-cover limits cap the total hard-surface area on your lot, including the roof footprint of any kitchen addition. A bump-out that expands your home’s footprint counts against that cap, and many Colleyville lots are already near the limit because they’re large homes on landlocked parcels. That means you may need a variance request before the permit is approved, which can add four to eight weeks to the front end. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your specific lot before you spend money on plans.
If your kitchen remodel touches a shared wall, Colleyville requires written notice to the adjacent property owner before demolition or structural work begins. On a recent job off Pleasant Run Road, we posted party-wall notice for a shared garage wall days before demo started, and the permit inspection sign-off came only after that notice was documented. Skip it and you’re inviting a neighbor complaint and a stop-work order. We handle the notice as part of our permit package on every shared-wall job.
Yes. Colleyville’s Blackland Prairie clay shrinks and heaves dramatically, and a slab that’s already moved 1.5 inches will keep moving. We discovered exactly that on a 1990s custom estate remodel, and we sequenced the rough-in for new KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz only after piers were installed and the slab stabilized. Skipping that step means cracked counters and misaligned cabinet doors within the first wet-dry cycle. We’ll tell you if a foundation evaluation needs to happen before the kitchen work does.
Colleyville runs its own municipal building department, not a county-level review, and the city enforces standards designed to preserve neighborhood character and property values. In practice that means stricter scrutiny on exterior changes, setback compliance, and impervious-cover calculations than you’ll find in some neighboring cities. Grapevine and Keller have their own requirements, but Colleyville’s landlocked, built-out zoning makes variance requests more common here. We pull permits on every eligible Colleyville job and we plan review time into the schedule up front.
Most Colleyville homeowners do stay in the home during a full kitchen remodel, but only with proper containment and sequencing. We set up dust barriers, isolate the work zone, and schedule loud work inside Colleyville’s allowed work-hour window. On tight lots, starting demo too early is the fastest way to get a neighbor complaint that turns into a stop-work order. We’ll give you a week-by-week schedule before we start, and every change to that schedule arrives in writing. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on your Colleyville kitchen remodel.
