AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Irving
A full kitchen remodel in Irving typically runs $14,000-$45,000, with smaller partial remodels starting around $9,000. Most Irving homeowners we talk to want two things: a written scope of work that won’t balloon into surprise invoices, and a crew that understands how Blackland Prairie clay and Las Colinas airspace rules affect their project. We’ve been delivering both since 1998. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
You’re not looking for the cheapest bid. You’re looking for the one that holds up. That’s why we publish our name, our address, and our license number. That’s why every allowance and every change order lands on paper before a single cabinet gets hung. And that’s why Tom Barrett and his sons are on-site most days in Irving, not halfway across the metroplex. If you live near MacArthur High School, over in Valley Ranch, or south of 183 along Story Road, you’ll see our trucks at the hardware store on Saturday.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Irving’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’ve built our reputation in Irving the old way. Homeowners in 75062 and 75063 call us because their neighbor took a chance on us ten years ago and the kitchen still looks right. That matters more than any marketing budget.
Calls to (877) 610-1318 are answered by a live person, not an out-of-state call center. When you tell us the kitchen is in a 1960s slab-on-grade ranch near Northgate and MacArthur, we know what that means before we arrive. We know the clay soils there move enough to crack tile and pull countertops apart. We know the original subfloor probably has hairline fractures under the vinyl. Those are things you only learn by doing this work in Irving, block by block, year after year.
We also hold ourselves to the 90-Day Done Right Promise. It’s written on every contract. If anything isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. No arguing about whose fault it is.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Irving
Irving’s housing stock spans everything from 1950s tract homes west of Story Road to newer builds along the northern edge near DFW Airport. The scope of work looks different in each. Here’s what we handle most often. For a full picture of what we do, visit our Kitchen Remodeling team page.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A complete gut-and-rebuild in Irving usually means taking the room down to studs, reworking plumbing and electrical to current code, addressing any slab movement from the clay soil, and rebuilding with materials that won’t fight the house. We pull permits on every eligible job and make sure the inspector signs off before the final walkthrough. In Irving, a full remodel of this scope typically lands between $14,000 and $45,000.
Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz surfaces, two brands you can research yourself before you sign. For Irving homes with original 1960s flat-panel cabinets, full replacement usually beats refacing because the boxes are often particleboard swollen from decades of North Texas humidity swings. Refacing makes sense when the boxes are solid and square.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Tile work in Irving requires more than a steady hand. The expansive clay under most of the city means subfloor deflection has to be addressed before tile goes down, or you’ll see grout cracks within two seasons. We install uncoupling membranes under tile in slab homes to absorb movement. It’s a line item cheap bids skip and we won’t.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Older Irving kitchens were built small and closed off. Opening a wall between the kitchen and the living room in a 1970s ranch can mean adding a load-bearing beam, which triggers a permit and potentially an engineering review. We handle the design, the beam spec, and the permit paperwork so you don’t have to learn structural engineering at the permit office.

Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
We don’t install mystery materials off a van. In kitchens, we carry KraftMaid and Cambria. When we replace a window assembly as part of an Irving kitchen remodel, we look to Andersen and Marvin because both offer wind-load-rated glass packages that meet local storm requirements. These are products with named manufacturers and published specifications. Your quote lists them by name. You can look them up before you spend a dollar.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Irving Homes
- Expansive clay slab movement. Blackland Prairie soil under 75060-75062 shrinks in Irving’s dry summers and heaves after fall rain. Kitchens in older slab homes show the damage first: cracked tile, separated countertops, cabinet doors that won’t close square.
- FAA obstruction surprises. In the Las Colinas Urban Center near SH-114, certain vertical work on kitchen additions triggers an FAA 7460-1 obstruction study. Contractors who skip this hit a stop-work order and a blown schedule. We flag it during the estimate.
- Wind-load code gaps. Cheap quotes often leave out wind-load-rated window and door assemblies. Irving’s storm code requires them. When the inspector catches it, you’re paying for a change order you didn’t plan for.
- Undocumented allowances. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We put every allowance in writing before demolition starts, so the final invoice matches the one you signed.

What moves the number? The age of your slab, whether walls come down, whether you’re near an FAA notification zone, and the material grade you choose. A 1960s kitchen in 75060 with clay-related subfloor damage will cost more than a cosmetic refresh in a newer build. We give you a written estimate with line items, not a single lump sum with a shrug. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Irving
Yes, if the work involves vertical construction above certain heights near the Las Colinas Urban Center by SH-114, DFW Airport approach-path regulations trigger an FAA 7460-1 obstruction study that can add weeks to permitting. A kitchen addition with a second-story component or a roof alteration is the most common trigger. We identify this during the estimate and file the study early so the permit office doesn’t halt your job mid-demolition. Call (877) 610-1318 to find out whether your project falls in the notification zone.
The Blackland Prairie clay under west Irving shrinks during dry spells and heaves after rain, which cracks slabs, separates brick veneer, and shifts floors enough to break tile and countertops. In a remodel, that means addressing subfloor deflection before tile goes down and accounting for slab movement when setting cabinets and islands. A contractor who ignores it sells you a kitchen that fails within two seasons. We include soil-stabilized subfloor prep on every slab kitchen in 75060-75062.
Irving’s building code requires wind-load-rated window and door assemblies in exterior walls, including kitchen walls that face open exposure. The exact rating depends on your home’s location and the specific assembly, but a compliant quote will name the rating and the product. We specify Andersen or Marvin packages with published wind-load ratings so the inspector signs off the first time. Cheap quotes omit these products and you eat the change order later.
Possibly, and the documentation is what makes the difference. Insurers in North Texas increasingly look at whether work was permitted, inspected, and completed to current wind-load and structural standards. A kitchen remodel with signed inspections and a paper trail of written change orders gives your carrier evidence the work was done right. That’s worth asking your agent about before you start. We pull permits and keep every inspection record, so you have that documentation in hand.
A compliant quote in Irving includes FAA notification if you’re near Las Colinas, soil stabilization and subfloor prep for slab-on-grade homes in the western ZIPs, wind-load-rated window and door assemblies, permit and inspection line items, and every allowance in writing. Cheap bids leave those out to look competitive, then hit you with change orders when the inspector demands them. We’d rather show you the honest number up front. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and a written line-item scope.
