AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Keller
A full kitchen remodel in Keller, TX typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, and the price moves most when walls come open: outdated wiring, undersized framing, and failed waterproofing behind the original backsplash. That’s the reality of remodeling the 1995-2008 brick-veneer homes that fill ZIP codes 76244 and 76248, and it’s why we inspect before we quote and put every allowance on paper before we touch a wall.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, founded in 1998, and Tom Barrett and his sons run our crews themselves. We live twenty minutes from your street. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers, and you get a written line-item estimate before any work begins.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Keller’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Keller homeowners between 50 and 70 have told us the same story for over 29 years: a national outfit quoted one number on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. We don’t work that way. Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every code upgrade we find gets written as a change order before we proceed. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Our crew members carry the Barrett & Sons name and background checks, and Tom publishes his name, address, and license number. You can look it up before you sign anything. Keller is HOA country. Woodland Springs, Hidden Lakes, and the master-planned communities off Keller Parkway and Rufe Snow Drive all carry their own rules about work hours, dumpster placement, and notice requirements for even interior remodels that touch shared walls or plumbing. We know how those boards operate, and we handle the paperwork so your project stays in good standing. We also offer our Windows & Doors in Keller with the same HOA coordination.
Every completed kitchen is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. Keller homeowners also receive a permanent 10% Senior & Veteran discount and a free second opinion on any written estimate, whether it’s for a kitchen remodel or full Kitchen Remodeling work.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Keller
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full Keller kitchen remodel means opening walls that haven’t been touched since the Bush administration. We handle the demolition, framing corrections, drywall, electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, counters, backsplash, and flooring under one roof. Our proposal includes a line item for the code upgrades a Keller permit inspector will likely require once walls are exposed, which means you won’t get a surprise invoice at the end. Most full remodels in Keller run $14,000-$45,000, and we’ll tell you exactly where your project falls before work starts.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Keller’s large 2,500-4,500 sq ft homes often have kitchens that feel smaller than they should, cut up by load-bearing walls and odd traffic patterns. We work with you on the layout first: where the island goes, how the cooktop vents, whether that wall can move. In post-tension slab homes, moving a wall isn’t always a simple cut-and-patch. We walk the foundation before finalizing any layout, because diagonal drywall cracks and sticking doors are the first clue the slab has moved, and a new island on a shifting slab can crack countertops within the year. Our Kitchen Remodeling in Keller process always starts with a foundation walk.
Cabinet Installation & Refacing
Keller homeowners who aren’t ready for a full gut often choose cabinet refacing, which keeps the existing boxes and replaces doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. It’s faster and cleaner, and it runs $4,000-$13,000 depending on material and finish. We install KraftMaid cabinetry for full replacements, and we’ll help you decide whether refacing or replacing makes more sense given your cabinet’s construction. If the boxes are particleboard swollen from years of Keller humidity shifts, refacing is throwing good money at a bad frame.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Keller runs $800-$2,500, and it’s the most visible upgrade per dollar you can make. We stock Schluter waterproofing membrane for anything behind a sink or cooktop, because the original 1995-2008 backsplashes often failed behind the tile, rotting the drywall underneath. That’s what we found in a Woodland Springs project: failed waterproofing behind a builder-grade backsplash that looked fine from the front. We tore it out, addressed the substrate, and reinstalled with a membrane that won’t fail like the original.

Trusted Brands We Service in Keller
We install brands you can look up, not mystery materials off a van. In Keller kitchens, that means KraftMaid and Cambria for cabinets and counters, Schluter for waterproofing, and Grohe fixtures for sinks and faucets. Our Dallas-Fort Worth office coordinates scheduling and materials, and our crews serve Keller locally, which means faster lead times on those brands. If a part arrives wrong or a panel shows up scratched, we don’t make you wait three weeks while a national chain reorders; we source local and get your kitchen moving again.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Keller Homes
- Post-tension slab movement. Keller sits on North Texas expansive clay that shrinks in summer and heaves after rain. By the time a homeowner calls us for a remodel, sticking doors and diagonal drywall cracks are already present, and cutting into a post-tension slab without a locate and repair plan can hit a tendon, shut down the job, and void your structural warranty. We walk the perimeter before we quote.
- Undersized framing around load-bearing walls. Builders in the 1995-2008 boom put up walls fast, and we regularly find headers that shouldn’t have passed either. When we open a load-bearing wall to move it, our inspection triggers a permit, and the permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like him. If the framing is undersized, we write the correction into a change order and get your signature before touching anything.
- Water damage behind builder-grade backsplashes. The original waterproofing on many Keller kitchens was thin or missing entirely. Years of DFW humidity and occasional sink splashes rot the drywall behind the tile. If your backsplash sounds hollow when you tap it, there’s a good chance the substrate is gone, and a simple backsplash quote becomes a drywall repair. We find it during inspection, not mid-demo.
- HOA notice requirements for interior work. Some Keller HOAs require written notice even for interior remodels that affect shared walls or plumbing runs. Starting demo without checking those rules can stall your project and bring a board letter. We read the covenants before we swing a hammer, so your HOA in Woodland Springs or Hidden Lakes stays satisfied.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Keller
Keller’s expansive clay soils shrink aggressively in North Texas summers and heave after storms, which moves post-tension slabs just enough to crack drywall, stick doors, and crack countertops installed on a compromised substrate. We include a written allowance for slab-related corrections in our Keller quotes, because ignoring the signs costs more later. Call (877) 610-1318 for a quote that accounts for your foundation’s condition.
Keller permit inspectors commonly flag outdated wiring (aluminum branch circuits, ungrounded outlets), undersized framing around load-bearing walls, and failed waterproofing behind original backsplashes. Those upgrades are typically written into a change order at the rough-in stage, before any work continues. We build those likely corrections into the initial scope so you aren’t surprised. Estimates are free at (877) 610-1318.
Most Keller HOAs require written notice before a remodel that affects shared walls, plumbing lines, or work hours. Interior-only cosmetic changes are usually fine, but we check the covenants before demo day to avoid board letters and project stalls. We’ve handled enough Keller HOA boards to know who requires what, and we file the paperwork so you don’t have to. The same goes for Fence Installation in Keller.
We write a contingency line into every Keller kitchen contract for hidden framing or waterproofing damage, typically sized to the age of the home. A 2003 brick-veneer in Woodland Springs with builder-grade waterproofing gets a different allowance than a 1995 custom with heavier framing. You’ll see the number in writing before you sign, and any unused allowance stays in your pocket.
Most of the time, yes. Moving a load-bearing wall in a Keller post-tension slab home typically requires a structural engineer to size the beam and sign off on the load path. We coordinate the engineering, the permit, and the installation, and every change from the original scope comes to you as a written change order first. Call (877) 610-1318 to get an exact answer for your floor plan.
