AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Lantana
A full kitchen remodel in Lantana typically runs $14,000-$45,000, while a smaller kitchen update falls between $9,000 and $20,000. Here’s the part most contractors won’t tell you until you’re already mid-job: in Lantana, even an “interior-only” kitchen remodel can hit the Architectural Review Committee. We plan for that from day one, so your cabinets don’t sit in the garage while a committee debates your vent hood location.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, founded in 1998 and still owner-operated by Tom Barrett. If you live anywhere in the 76226 zip code, from the Lantana Estates section to the homes around the golf club, our crew knows your streets, your ARC guidelines, and your post-tension slab. Call (877) 610-1318 and talk to a live person, not a call center.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lantana’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’ve been pulling permits and filing ARC submittals in Lantana long enough to know that the Architectural Review Committee doesn’t mess around with exterior penetrations. Relocate a range hood vent, add a makeup-air duct, or enlarge a window over the sink, and your “interior” remodel suddenly needs committee approval. Most crews find that out when the red tag shows up. We file the submittal before we open the wall.
Lantana homeowners have told us the same story for years: they got a price from a national outfit, signed, and then watched the number climb with every change order. That’s not how we work. Every scope item, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. Tom’s sons run the crews, not strangers dispatched from out of state. And Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Lantana
Our Kitchen Remodeling team handles the full scope, from first design meeting to final inspection. Here’s what we do most often for Lantana homeowners.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Most Lantana kitchens were built between 2003 and 2015, which means galley layouts, builder-grade islands, and a whole lot of honey oak. We redesign around how you actually cook, not how the original tract builder drew it in a CAD file. Before we move a single wall, we check the ARC rules on anything touching the exterior envelope, so your new layout doesn’t stall at committee review.
Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinet installation in Lantana runs $4,000-$13,000, and countertop installation typically lands between $2,000 and $6,500. We carry KraftMaid and Cambria because you should be able to look up your materials by name instead of trusting whatever came off a distributor’s van. If you’re refacing instead of replacing, we’ll tell you honestly whether your existing boxes are worth saving.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Lantana runs $800-$2,500 for most kitchens. Tile and flooring push that higher depending on square footage and material. North Texas clay soil shifts, and that movement shows up in cracked floor tile and separated backsplash grout lines in Lantana homes. We install with movement in mind, so you’re not re-grouting every three years.
Kitchen Island Installation
A new or expanded kitchen island in Lantana runs $3,000-$10,000. Here’s the thing most Lantana homeowners don’t know until it’s too late: nearly every home out here sits on a post-tension slab. If your island moves and needs new plumbing rough-in, we scan for tensioned cables before any concrete is cut. Sever one cable and you’ve got a structural problem that no cabinet can hide.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Post-tension cable damage. A contractor cuts the slab for a kitchen island plumbing rough-in without scanning first, severs a tensioned tendon, and triggers a structural stop-work order. We scan every time, no exceptions.
- ARC red tags on “interior” work. A homeowner assumes cabinets and countertops don’t need committee approval. Then the new backsplash window or relocated vent gets flagged mid-job. We file before we build.
- Clay soil movement. Lantana sits on Blackland Prairie with highly expansive clay. Slabs shift, floors crack, and cabinet runs that looked level at install develop gaps. We assess the slab before we hang anything.
- Non-conforming exterior materials. A bright metal hood vent against a brick-and-stone veneer looks like a sore thumb, and the ARC will reject it. We know what passes, and we spec materials that match Lantana’s architectural character.

What Makes Lantana Kitchen Remodeling Different: The Architectural Review Committee
Lantana is almost entirely a single master-planned community, developed roughly 2003 to 2015 by Republic Property Group, with a strict Architectural Review Committee layered on top of Denton County permitting. Every exterior construction project, additions, outbuildings, fencing, even roofing material choices, requires dual approval that neighboring Argyle or Bartonville properties don’t face. That means permit and design coordination is a defining part of every kitchen remodel here, and the contractor who doesn’t plan for it is the contractor who leaves your kitchen half-finished.
Here’s the local insight that matters for your kitchen: in Lantana, an interior remodel still hits ARC scrutiny if any exterior penetration changes. Relocating a range hood vent, adding a makeup-air duct, or enlarging a window over the sink all trigger committee review, even if the rest of the job stays inside four walls. We file the submittal packet: material specs, color chips, elevation drawings, the whole thing. Committee review typically adds two to four weeks to the calendar depending on meeting dates. We schedule the work around that window so your rough-in isn’t sitting there waiting on a committee vote.
On a 2006 brick-and-stone home in the Lantana Estates section, our crew opened the kitchen wall to add a 48-inch range and discovered the original vent hood duct ran through a load-bearing header with no fire blocking. We filed an ARC submittal for the new exterior vent location, re-framed the header with a steel flitch beam, and kept the job moving by scheduling the inspection sign-off the same week the committee met. The rough-in was never left waiting.
The permit inspector works for you, not for me, that’s why I like him. We pull Denton County permits on every eligible job and get inspections signed before we call the job done. That layer of accountability is something no national outfit will offer you over the phone.
Kitchen Remodeling in Lantana: What You Need to Know About Your Slab
Virtually all of Lantana’s homes are 2000s to 2015 upscale tract construction: brick-and-stone veneer on post-tension slab foundations sized for Blackland Prairie’s expansive clay soils. As those homes enter the 15 to 20 year range, we’re seeing first-generation issues, original composite decks, aging roof systems from the same build-out era, and early signs of slab movement requiring careful structural assessment before any addition or remodel.
Post-tension slabs are nearly universal throughout Lantana’s build-out. Before any concrete cutting, coring, or penetration, whether for plumbing rough-ins, a room addition footing, or an anchor bolt, contractors must locate tensioned cables with a scan. Severing even one cable can cause irreversible structural damage and immediate liability under the original builder’s engineering specs. We scan every slab before we touch it. No exceptions, no “we’ve been doing this for years” shortcuts.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Lantana
In most cases, no, replacing cabinets and countertops with no change to exterior walls, windows, or vent locations doesn’t require ARC approval. But if your remodel includes a new backsplash window, a relocated range hood vent, or any exterior penetration change, the ARC process kicks in. We tell you up front whether your scope triggers review, so there’s no surprise red tag mid-project. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk through your scope in five minutes.
Yes, absolutely. Homes built during Lantana’s main build-out, roughly 2003 to 2015, almost universally use post-tension slab foundations. If your island move requires cutting into the slab for plumbing or electrical rough-in, we scan for tensioned cables first. Cutting without a scan can sever a tendon and trigger a structural stop-work order. We include the scan in our written scope.
Yes, if the job involves plumbing, electrical, structural changes, or exterior wall modifications, a Denton County permit is required on top of any Architectural Review Committee approval. ARC governs aesthetics and community standards, while the county permit governs code compliance. We file both, and we don’t start work until both are in hand. The permit inspector works for you, not for me.
Typically two to four weeks, depending on when the committee meets and whether your submittal is complete on the first round. A sloppy or incomplete submittal gets kicked back and adds another cycle. We build committee review time into the schedule from the first week, so your cabinets arrive when the approvals are done, not before. That’s the difference between a planned job and a stalled one.
The ARC does review exterior vent hoods, and the material and finish need to be compatible with Lantana’s brick-and-stone character. A bright polished metal hood against a stone veneer wall will likely get rejected. We spec hood materials and colors that match the home’s existing palette, and we include the product sheet in the submittal packet so the committee can approve it on the first pass. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, so we put every material in writing.
