Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Hurst
Kitchen remodeling in Hurst typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full remodel, while smaller projects like cabinet installation land between $4,000 and $13,000. Most Hurst kitchens we open up were built between 1955 and 1978, so what looks like a simple update often involves code triggers, framing corrections, and foundation work before the first cabinet goes in. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been remodeling kitchens for Texas homeowners since 1998. If you live in Hurst, call Tom Barrett directly at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that accounts for the real condition of your home.
Here’s the key takeaway before you read further: Hurst’s municipal permitting is stricter than most nearby suburbs, and older ranch homes here hide things behind the walls that change the price. We scope all of it before we quote, in writing, so the number we give you is the number you pay. That’s the whole point of working with a contractor who lives here and knows these houses.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Hurst’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998. He’s been on job sites himself for over 29 years, and his sons run crews across the Mid-Cities. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7, not a voicemail box or an out-of-state call center. When you call about a kitchen remodel in Hurst, you talk to someone who knows the difference between a 1960s slab in the 76053 ZIP and a 1970s post-tensioned slab in 76054. That matters more than people think.
Hurst homeowners tell us the same story again and again: a national company quoted one price on the phone, sent a salesman with a binder, and handed them a different bill at the door. We don’t work that way. Every scope, every allowance, every price change comes as a written change order before work happens. Permits get pulled and inspections get signed on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like having him involved.
Ask anyone on your street about us. Or look up our license number yourself. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. This is a name-on-the-truck operation.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Hurst
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Hurst means something very specific: a 1955-1978 kitchen that hasn’t been touched since the original build, sitting on a slab that’s moved for 50 years, with walls that hide missing insulation and undersized framing. We plan for all of that. Tom Barrett and his sons are on-site most days, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. Before we quote, we check the permit triggers, assess the slab condition, and write a scope that includes what the inspector will actually require, not just what you’d like cosmetically.

Kitchen Design & Layout
Designing a kitchen for a mid-century Hurst ranch isn’t the same as designing for a new build in Colleyville. We work with the existing footprint, the beam locations, and the realities of a wall that may not be square. We bring KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz into the design conversation, and we’ll lay out the island, the cabinet run, and the appliance wall around the structural work that has to happen first. The goal is a kitchen that works for the next 30 years, not a render that looks nice but can’t be built to code in Hurst.

Cabinets & Countertops, Cabinet Installation & Refacing
Cabinet installation in Hurst runs $4,000 to $13,000 depending on whether you’re refacing, replacing boxes, or doing full custom. Countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500. Many Hurst homeowners ask us to reuse existing cabinet boxes and just replace doors and drawer fronts. We’ll tell you the truth about that: sometimes the boxes are sound, sometimes they’re particleboard holding onto 50 years of Texas humidity and they won’t take refacing well. We’ll assess before you spend.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Hurst runs $800 to $2,500. Tile and flooring work follows the same logic as everything else on an old slab home: if the floor has settled, the tile will crack unless we address the substrate first. We set tile to last on the Blackland Prairie-adjacent clay soils that move under Hurst streets every wet-dry cycle.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hurst
We install brands you can look up, not mystery products off a van. In Hurst kitchens, that means KraftMaid and Cambria for cabinets and counters, Schluter systems for tile and waterproofing, and Grohe for fixtures when the remodel includes the sink and plumbing rough-in. We keep a local parts network so ordering doesn’t stall a job. If a delivery shows up short a cabinet pull, we don’t wait two weeks; we fix it from stock nearby. Forty-five years of these houses tells us exactly which components fail first, so we spec against that, not toward a brochure.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Hurst Homes
- Permit triggers nobody flagged at quote time. Hurst’s municipal building department requires permits on most kitchen remodels, and once walls or the roof plane are opened, code upgrades to insulation, egress windows, and electrical panels often become mandatory. A contractor who doesn’t mention this in the bid is handing you a change order later. We write it into the original scope.
- Foundation movement racking new cabinets and islands. Hurst sits on expansive clay that shrinks in drought and swells after heavy fall and spring rains. A new cabinet run or island installed on an unlevel slab will bind within two wet-dry cycles. We check for level before we order one cabinet, and we correct what needs correcting first.
- Original single-pane aluminum windows and no wall insulation. On a 1963 ranch near Hurstview Drive, our crew opened the kitchen wall to find exactly that: no insulation behind the brick veneer and windows leaking air. We scoped load-bearing beam work, upgraded the electrical panel for code sign-off, and installed a KraftMaid cabinet layout with a Cambria quartz island, all before the cosmetic finishes were ever ordered. We write that into your scope, too.
- Undersized framing that pre-dates modern header sizing. Many 1955-1978 Hurst kitchens don’t have standard 16-inch stud spacing or headers sized for today’s load requirements. Opening a wall for a simple cabinet swap often reveals framing that needs structural correction before rough-in. If your quote doesn’t account for that, you’re paying for it as a surprise later. We account for it before we shake hands on a number.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Hurst, TX
Here’s straight talk on Hurst pricing, no vague language. A full kitchen remodel in Hurst typically runs $14,000 to $45,000. A smaller, partial remodel lands between $9,000 and $20,000. The range comes down to a few things: the age of the home, whether the slab has moved, whether the city requires code upgrades, and how much structural correction is hiding in the walls. This is why we never quote a kitchen remodel in Hurst over the phone without seeing the house. There are simply too many variables behind a 1960s wall.
What we do instead is a free on-site estimate. We walk the project with you, in Hurst, on your street. Tom Barrett shows up himself, or one of his sons does. You get a written quote with line items, allowances, and the permit work spelled out. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We don’t do surprises.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Hurst
Yes, most kitchen remodels in Hurst require a permit, and because your home likely predates modern energy and structural codes, the permit will often trigger mandatory upgrades to insulation, egress windows, or the electrical panel. Hidden cost isn’t hidden if it’s in the original scope; we write it in before we quote, so nothing about the permit comes as a surprise later. Call (877) 610-1318 to get a walk-through that includes the permit reality.
Hurst’s expansive clay soils shrink in summer drought and swell with fall and spring rain, which moves slab foundations over time. Kitchen cabinets, islands, and tile installed on an unlevel slab will rack and bind within two wet-dry cycles, so a proper Hurst remodel starts with checking the floor for level before any cabinet order is placed. That’s standard practice on every Barrett & Sons job, not an add-on. We account for foundation conditions in the original quote, so call us before the soil does more damage.
In most cases, yes. Once Hurst’s building department is involved in a remodel that opens exterior walls, the inspector can require upgrades to meet current energy code, which often means replacing single-pane aluminum windows and adding insulation where there was none. Trying to skip this to save money means the project stalls at inspection, and the corrections cost more mid-job than they would have up front. We flag this during the estimate so you know exactly what’s coming. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free walk-through.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. We have refaced cabinets in hundreds of Hurst kitchens, but if the boxes are 50-year-old particleboard that has absorbed decades of Texas humidity, refacing won’t hold up. We assess cabinet condition honestly before recommending a door-and-drawer replacement path, and if refacing makes sense, the savings are real. The honest answer costs you nothing, because the estimate is free.
A typical full kitchen remodel in Hurst takes 6 to 10 weeks from the first wall opened to the final inspection sign-off, assuming the permit triggers, foundation corrections, and structural work are all planned from the start. Homes that have moved significantly or need panel upgrades can push that timeline longer, which is why we scope all of it before we start. We never rush inspections, because a missed sign-off just means rework later. Call (877) 610-1318 for a timeline specific to your house.
