Forney’s housing boom means something specific for homeowners here: most kitchens were built in the same handful of years, by the same handful of crews, with the same mid-range materials. That uniformity makes us unusually good at predicting what a Forney kitchen needs before we open the first wall. In Travis Ranch and Devonshire, we regularly see the same cabinet hinge failures, the same undersized island clearances, and the same surprise plumbing layouts. You won’t have to explain your house to us twice.

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

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run crews. That’s not marketing copy, it’s how the phone gets answered. When a Forney homeowner calls about a kitchen remodel, they reach a live person who knows which subdivisions sit on the blackest of the Blackland clay and which phases of Devonshire were built by crews that took shortcuts. That local familiarity is why homeowners here keep our number.

We don’t run crews of strangers through Forney. The people who show up carry the Barrett name, they’re background-checked, and they wear uniforms. If something isn’t right after we finish, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means Tom comes back. It’s written on every contract, not whispered during the estimate. That promise matters more in a market like Forney, where most of the competition is new construction contractors who never intended to do remodels in the first place.

Permit pulls in Forney can test your patience. Kaufman County’s building department stays backed up because every builder in North Texas is trying to push houses through at once. We handle every permit and inspection on eligible jobs, and we don’t treat them as optional. Tom’s take on it: the inspector works for you, not for him, and that’s why he likes having them on the job.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Forney

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel in Forney usually starts around $14,000 and climbs toward $45,000 when you’re moving walls, reconfiguring plumbing, or installing custom cabinetry. We handle the whole job, demolition through final hardware, with written change orders before anything shifts in scope. In Forney’s post-2005 tract homes, the most common request is opening the kitchen to the living area and replacing that narrow builder-grade galley. Our Kitchen Remodeling team handles these layouts often enough that we’ve learned where the load-bearing walls hide in Travis Ranch and Clements Ranch floorplans.

Cabinets & Countertops

Cabinet installation in Forney runs $4,000-$13,000 depending on whether you’re refacing, replacing, or going fully custom. Countertops add $2,000-$6,500. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz because Tom won’t put his name on materials he can’t look up in a catalog. For Forney homes built during the 2012-2018 boom, we often find cabinets that were never properly shimmed on concrete slabs, which shows up as doors that don’t close square or drawers that bind after a few clay-swell seasons.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Backsplash installation in Forney typically costs $800-$2,500. Tile and flooring add to that depending on square footage and material. Given the expansive clay under most Forney slabs, we recommend flexible mortar and proper expansion joints on tile floors. Kitchens here develop hairline grout cracks faster than kitchens on stable soil, and mortar selection is one of the most common places cheap contractors cut corners.

Kitchen Design & Layout

We design kitchens around how Forney families actually use them. Many of the master-planned homes in Devonshire and Travis Ranch have generous footprints but awkward kitchen geometries, islands that are too small for the room, and walkways that don’t clear a standard appliance door. Before we order a single cabinet, we’ll measure, talk through how you cook and gather, and put everything in writing. No allowance gets spent without paper.

Trusted Brands We Service in Forney

We’re not brand-agnostic. In Forney kitchens, we install KraftMaid and Cambria because they hold up to the humidity swings and slab movement common east of Dallas. For windows adjacent to kitchen remodels, we carry Simonton and Ply Gem, both of which stand up well to the hail and heat cycles Forney gets. We keep common parts available for fast turnaround, and if we can’t get something locally, we’re forty minutes from every major supplier on the east side of Dallas.

Our Bathroom Remodeling in Forney work often runs in tandem with kitchens, especially in older phases of Travis Ranch where owners are tackling two rooms at once. And when a kitchen remodel reveals roof flashing issues around the vent stack, our Roofing in Forney crew can address it before it becomes a leak.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Forney Homes

• Slab movement and cracked tile. The Houston Black clay under Forney shrinks during dry summers and swells after fall rains. Kitchens with rigid mortar or missing expansion joints show grout cracks and lifting tile within a few seasons. We adjust materials and layout to give the floor room to move.
• Builder-grade cabinet failure. The phases built between 2012 and 2018 used fast-install practice, and we regularly see hinges torn from pressboard, drawer glides sagging, and cabinet boxes not anchored to studs. It’s rarely a one-off: in a given Forney phase, these issues cluster.
• Island and walkway clearances that don’t work. The same three floorplans rotated through hundreds of Forney lots. Many islands are too big for the space, and the refrigerator door often can’t open fully without hitting the island. We fix that with layout changes rather than just swapping finishes.
• Moisture and drainage issues affecting kitchen flooring. Forney gets marginally more rain than western DFW suburbs, and when drainage grading fails near the foundation, it shows up as warped laminates and swelling baseboards in kitchens. We inspect drainage before installing new flooring, because putting a new floor over a water problem just means replacing it twice.
