AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Lantana
A full kitchen remodel in Lantana, FL typically runs $14,000-$45,000, with small kitchens landing between $9,000 and $20,000. The bigger variable here isn’t square footage. It’s the Architectural Review Committee that layers its approval on top of Denton County permitting before any exterior change, even a new vent hood penetration, gets cleared for work. We coordinate that dual gate on your behalf so the job moves forward without a stop-work order halfway through demo. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written, line-item estimate from Tom Barrett and his crew.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lantana’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’re the owner-operated alternative to outfits that send a salesperson to your door and a stranger to your kitchen. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Lantana. You’ll deal with the same people from the first measurement to the final walkthrough, and every price change lands on paper as a written change order before a single nail moves.
Lantana homeowners have a specific problem: this community is almost entirely one master-planned development with an ARC that reviews every exterior door, window, vent penetration, and material choice. We file that submittal ourselves, with the exact brick veneer and trim-to-match details the committee expects to see. You don’t chase paperwork. We do.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written into every contract. If something’s not right after you’ve been living with the kitchen, one call brings Tom back. That’s the whole promise. No fine print, no argument.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Lantana
Kitchen Design & Layout
Lantana’s homes are 2000s-2015 upscale tract builds, mostly brick-and-stone veneer over post-tension slabs. That means the rooms share the same bones, but not the same problems. We design around what’s actually behind the walls: where the slab cables run, where the waste lines drop, and which walls carry load. If you want an island with plumbing, we scan for tensioned cables first, because cutting into a post-tension slab blind is how you crack a foundation and void the builder’s structural warranty.
Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz, among other brands you can look up before you sign. Nobody here pushes mystery materials off a van. In Lantana kitchens, we see a lot of first-generation cabinet boxes showing their age around the sink base and under heavy cookware drawers. If the cabinet boxes are solid, refacing runs $4,000-$13,000. If you’re replacing everything, full cabinet and countertop work falls inside the broader kitchen remodel range of $14,000-$45,000.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Tile choices matter more in Lantana than most people expect. The Blackland Prairie clay under your slab expands after spring rains and contracts during summer drought. That movement translates into hairline stress at the floor-to-wall transition, which is exactly where a rigid backsplash installation shows cracks first. We use Schluter uncoupling membranes on floor tile and flexible polymer-modified thinset at the change of plane so the tile moves with the house instead of fighting it. Backsplash installation alone runs $800-$2,500 in Lantana.
Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels
Not every Lantana kitchen needs gutting. If you’re keeping the footprint and refreshing surfaces, a small remodel runs $9,000-$20,000. That covers new cabinet fronts or refacing, a countertop swap, tile work, and updated lighting. But even changing a window over the sink triggers ARC review here, so we file that paperwork early and schedule demo after the committee signs off.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lantana
We carry premium brands across every trade that touches a kitchen: KraftMaid and Cambria for cabinets and counters, Schluter for tile substrate, and Grohe for fixtures when you want German engineering under the sink. Because our Lantana work is close to the South Florida metro office that coordinates scheduling and supply, we can usually turn special-order hardware around faster than a national outfit ordering out of state. You’ll know exactly what’s being installed, because the brand name is in your contract.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- ARC stop-work orders after demolition starts. Contractors who don’t know Lantana file county permits and skip the HOA’s architectural review. Then the committee spots a new window or vent hood from the street and shuts the job down. Your kitchen sits open to Blackland Prairie heat and spring storms while the paperwork catches up. We file both approvals before demo starts.
- Severed post-tension cables in the slab. Nearly every Lantana home sits on a post-tension slab. Moving a sink or adding an island with plumbing means cutting concrete, and cutting concrete means locating the tensioned cables first. Miss one cable and you’re looking at structural repair under the original builder’s engineering specs, plus a voided warranty.
- Moisture damage behind exterior walls from the 2021 freeze. Winter Storm Uri pushed water through exterior envelope weak points all over north Texas. We open up Lantana kitchens and find rotted sheathing or compromised insulation where an old vent hood or window flashing failed back then. That gets fixed before new cabinets go in.
- Slab movement cracking rigid tile and grout. The shrink-swell clay in Lantana moves your slab seasonally. Rigid tile installations with no uncoupling layer crack at the perimeter and under islands. We build for that movement from the start.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Lantana
Yes. Even moving a window or adding a vent hood penetration must clear Lantana’s Architectural Review Committee before Denton County will issue permits. It’s a dual gate that neighboring Argyle and Bartonville properties don’t face. We file the ARC submittal with the exact brick veneer and trim-to-match details, then schedule work after both approvals land. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you whether your specific scope triggers review.
We scan first, then cut. Post-tension slabs are nearly universal in Lantana’s build-out, and severing a single tensioned cable can cause irreversible structural damage and trigger liability under the original builder’s engineering specs. Before any concrete cutting for plumbing rough-ins or a new island footing, we run a cable scan to map tensioned cable paths. The scan results tell us exactly where concrete can be safely opened. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate that includes this scan
Plan on roughly two to four weeks added to your calendar for ARC review, depending on the committee’s meeting schedule and whether your submittal gets flagged for revisions. We front-load the paperwork so the review runs while we’re doing design and material selection, not while your kitchen is sitting half-finished. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll map your specific timeline.
Lantana’s ARC governs exterior changes: windows, doors, vent penetrations, and exterior materials. Interior cabinet and countertop brands are yours to choose. That said, if your remodel adds a window seat, changes an exterior door to the kitchen, or repositions a range hood to an exterior wall, those changes go through review. We carry KraftMaid and Cambria plus other brands you can verify yourself. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written quote on the brands you want.
We stop, document the damage with photos, and bring you a written change order before anything gets rebuilt. The 2021 Winter Storm Uri exposed weak points in exterior envelopes all over Lantana, and we’ve opened walls to find rotted sheathing and failed flashing around old vent hoods. The fix gets scoped, priced, and approved by you in writing. Nothing continues without your signature. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free kitchen inspection and we’ll tell you what you’re looking at.
How We Sequence ARC Submittals, County Permits, and Slab Scanning in Lantana
Here’s the part most Lantana kitchen remodels get wrong. A contractor files for Denton County permits, skips the ARC submittal, and starts demo. The committee spots the new window or hood vent from the street and issues a stop-work order. Your kitchen sits open to the elements while the paperwork catches up.
We don’t do it that way. The order that works in Lantana is: design and material selection, ARC submittal with the exact veneer and trim details, county permit application, post-tension cable scan, then demo. The scan maps where tensioned cables run before any concrete gets cut for plumbing or an island footing.
On a kitchen remodel in the Bandera neighborhood, our crew cut a new exterior wall opening for a range hood. We scanned the post-tension slab to map cable paths for the new footing, filed the ARC submittal with the exact brick veneer and trim-to-match details, and scheduled foundation work only after getting the committee’s color and material approval along with the county’s inspection sign-off. The homeowner avoided a stop-work order and a possible severed cable that would have triggered a full structural repair under the original builder’s engineering specs.
That’s what we mean by permits pulled and inspections signed. Every eligible Lantana job includes both, and every step is on paper because an allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
