AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Highland Village
If your Highland Village kitchen still has its original 1990s oak cabinets, a fluorescent light box over the sink, and a peninsula that cuts the room in half, you’re not alone. Most homes off Highland Village Road and throughout the 75077 zip code were built between 1985 and 2005, and nearly every one of them has hit the age where the kitchen needs real work, not cosmetic touch-ups. A full Kitchen Remodeling project in Highland Village typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, depending on how far you want to go. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve worked on enough kitchens along the Lake Lewisville shoreline and back through the Copperas Branch and Valley Ridge neighborhoods to know exactly what these homes need, and what they don’t. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk through your kitchen together before you spend a dime.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Highland Village’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’re an owner-operated shop. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call about a kitchen remodel in Highland Village, you’re talking to someone whose name is on the truck and whose family will be standing in your kitchen. No franchise, no out-of-state call center, no stranger who got dispatched from two counties away.
We know the homes here. The brick-veneer construction, the slab-on-grade foundations, the HOA streetscapes with their own rules about dumpster placement and work hours. Those details matter when you’re gutting a kitchen and the HOA wants to know where the debris container will sit. We’ve handled it.
Highland Village homeowners tell us the same stories: a national company quoted one number on the phone, then showed up with a different one at the door. That doesn’t happen with us. Every scope change, every allowance, every material substitution gets written down as a change order before the work happens. The price you sign is the price you pay, unless you change something and sign the new number in advance.
We also publish Tom’s name, his license number, and his address. Look it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street, or check the license yourself. We’d rather you did.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Highland Village
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Highland Village means taking the room down to the studs in most of these 25-to-40-year-old homes. We rebuild it with KraftMaid or Cambria surfaces, new lighting, new plumbing rough-ins, and a layout that actually works for how you cook. Most full projects in the 75077 area land between $14,000 and $45,000, and we’ll put the entire scope in writing before we demo anything.
Cabinets & Countertops
If your cabinets are still the original builder-grade honey oak, you’ve got options: full replacement, or refacing if the boxes are sound. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and quartz or granite tops, with cabinet work in Highland Village generally running $4,000 to $13,000. Countertop installation on its own typically falls between $2,000 and $6,500, depending on slab size and material.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Highland Village kitchens from the 90s often have dated 4-inch tile backsplashes and vinyl sheet flooring that’s long past its useful life. Backsplash replacement here runs $800 to $2,500, and we’ll pull up the old floor and lay tile or engineered hardwood while the cabinets are out so the finished edge actually lines up correctly.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Many of these original floor plans closed the kitchen off from the living room, and homeowners now want that wall gone and an island in its place. We handle the structural work, the permitting, and the design. Kitchen island installation in Highland Village typically runs $3,000 to $10,000, and the difference between a good island and a great one is how it’s anchored to your slab. We know these slabs.

Trusted Brands We Service in Highland Village
We don’t install mystery brands off a van. In Highland Village kitchens, we carry KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz, because you deserve materials you can look up and verify before they go into your home. And while this page is about kitchens, we also bring the same premium-brand standard to Bathroom Remodeling in Highland Village and Roofing in Highland Village, where we install GAF and CertainTeed systems. No white-label products, no “contractor-grade” surprises, and our crews restock the local supply houses regularly so turnaround on Highland Village jobs stays quick.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Highland Village Homes
- Foundation movement from Highland Village’s expansive clay soil. North Texas black clay swells in wet winters and shrinks in drought summers, and kitchens over slab foundations feel it first. Island additions and cabinet runs need leveling and proper anchoring or doors start binding within a couple of seasons. We see it in homes all over the 75077 zip code.
- Original builders’ cabinets with failing hinges and delaminating faces. These 1980s and 90s boxes were not built to last 35 years. Refacing can save money, but only if the boxes are actually square and solid. Many aren’t, and we’ll tell you honestly which you’re looking at before you spend refacing money on a cabinet that’s already sagging.
- Closed-off floor plans that don’t match how families live now. A lot of Highland Village kitchens were designed as separate work rooms. Removing a load-bearing wall to open the kitchen to the dining area requires a beam, a permit, and an engineer’s stamp. We handle all three, and the city inspector signs off before we close the wall back up.
- Water damage around sinks and dishwashers. By year 25 or 30, slow leaks from sink supply lines and dishwasher connections have often rotted the cabinet base and the subfloor beneath it. We find this on a large share of Highland Village gut remodels, and it changes the scope and the price. We’ll show you photos before we ask you to approve a dollar of additional work.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Highland Village, TX
Let’s talk real numbers for Highland Village. A full kitchen remodel here runs $14,000 to $45,000. A smaller kitchen update, maybe new counters, a backsplash, and cabinet refacing, lands closer to $9,000 to $20,000. Cabinet installation alone runs $4,000 to $13,000. Countertops alone, $2,000 to $6,500. A kitchen island addition runs $3,000 to $10,000. What moves the number within those ranges is the size of your kitchen, whether you’re moving plumbing or gas lines, the cabinet line you choose, and what we find when we open the walls. Homes near the lake that sit inside the Corps of Engineers flowage easement sometimes carry an extra permitting step, but that’s federal paperwork, not a markup we create. We’ll show you the line items. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a free written estimate with every allowance spelled out on paper.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Highland Village
Planning and permits for a Highland Village kitchen remodel typically take two to four weeks from signed contract to first day of demo, depending on whether your HOA requires architectural review and whether your lot sits inside the Corps of Engineers boundary near the lake. We handle both processes for you. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll map out a realistic start date for your specific street.
Yes, we work across the entire 75077 zip code, including Copperas Branch, Valley Ridge, Highlands of Highland Village, and the lakefront properties along the southern shore of Lake Lewisville. For lots inside the Corps flowage easement, we verify that boundary before we touch a wall so you don’t get stopped mid-project.
Yes. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way. If your HOA or the City of Highland Village requires engineering on a wall removal or foundation work, that’s handled before demo starts. No permits “optional” conversations ever happen on our jobs.
Kitchen remodeling in Highland Village generally tracks within a few hundred dollars of Flower Mound and Lewisville pricing because labor and material costs come from the same supply houses and the same trade base. The main difference here is the lake: some lakefront or near-lake lots carry federal permitting requirements that inland cities don’t, and that can add a few weeks to the schedule rather than meaningfully changing the cost.
Every completed kitchen remodel carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. That promise is written on the contract, not buried in fine print. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free written estimate, and we’ll show you the contract language before you sign anything.
