Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Fabens’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and put his sons on the crews. That’s not a slogan, it’s how we work. Fabens homeowners call us because the person quoting the work is the same person who checks it at the end, and because every permit gets pulled and every inspection gets signed on eligible jobs. We’ve walked into too many Fabens kitchens where the last contractor told the homeowner permits were “optional.” They aren’t, and El Paso County expects them.

Our reputation in Fabens comes from specific things: written change orders before any scope change touches the job, named brands like KraftMaid for cabinets and Cambria for countertops, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise written on every contract. One call brings Tom back. We also answer the phone live around the clock, which matters when you’re deciding whether to call at 6:00 a.m. before work or 9:00 p.m. after.

We know Fabens. We know the housing stock east of the old acequia laterals, the manufactured homes off Fabens Road, and the mid-century block homes closer to the school. That local knowledge changes how we bid, what we include up front, and what we won’t surprise you with later.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Fabens

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel in Fabens typically means taking the room down to studs or close to it: new layout, new electrical and plumbing, new cabinets, counters, flooring, and lighting. In homes near the irrigation network, we often discover framing that moved with wet clay under the slab, and we factor that into the plan from the start rather than “discovering” it mid-job at your expense. Full projects here run $14,000 to $45,000.

Cabinets & Countertops

Cabinet installation in Fabens runs $4,000 to $13,000, and countertop installation $2,000 to $6,500. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz because those are materials you can look up, with warranties you can hold in your hand. In Fabens kitchens with irregular walls from decades of settling, cabinet install is not just screwing boxes to studs; it’s scribing, shimming, and leveling so doors close square a year from now.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Backsplash installation runs $800 to $2,500 in Fabens. Tile and flooring carry their own considerations here: homes over saturated clay move, and rigid tile set without an isolation membrane will crack at the grout lines within a couple of seasons. We discuss that before we bid, because the allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Design work in Fabens has to respect what the house is, not what a showroom looks like. Many kitchens here grew incrementally: a wall opened here, a range moved there, wiring added without a permit. Our Kitchen Remodeling team starts every layout with a walkthrough that includes looking behind outlets and under sinks, because what we find changes what we draw. We will not design around unpermitted electrical that then fails inspection.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fabens

We stock and install materials homeowners can verify: KraftMaid, Cambria, and where window work ties into a kitchen remodel, Simonton and Ply Gem. We carry premium brand depth because our reputation in Fabens rides on what the inspector sees and what the next buyer’s home inspector tells them. No mystery brands off a van, no “supplier’s pick” - you’ll know exactly what’s going into your kitchen and what it costs before we order it.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Fabens Homes

• Foundation movement under kitchen floors: Fabens sits in the El Paso County Water Improvement District’s active acequia and surface irrigation network. Subsurface clay swells and shrinks with irrigation cycles even when the desert surface looks bone dry, so slab cracks and out-of-level floors are more common here than in upland El Paso.
• Caliche hardpan complicating any dig: Footings and plumbing trenches near the old irrigation laterals start with jackhammer work through caliche within the first foot or two, then sometimes hit wet, silty clay that needs shoring. A kitchen remodel that moves a sink or island means planning for both conditions, not hoping the excavator claws through.
• Unpermitted prior work: Fabens has a large share of colonia style homes and older manufactured homes, many added to over decades without permits or engineered plans. Renovation frequently uncovers unpermitted electrical, plumbing, or structural elements that El Paso County code requires us to bring current before new work passes inspection.
• Heat and wind affecting finishes: Summer temperatures over 105°F and spring winds carrying blowing sand mean paint, adhesives, and exposed finishes need scheduling around the weather. A backsplash or flooring job timed wrong turns into a redo; we schedule Fabens work with those two realities in mind.
