AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Lemmon Valley
A full kitchen remodel in Lemmon Valley, NV typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, with smaller partial remodels landing between $9,000 and $20,000. Most jobs take 3 to 8 weeks once permits clear, and the biggest variable on your side of the basin is what we find under the slab before a single cabinet box gets opened. If you’re pricing a kitchen remodel in Lemmon Valley, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written line-item estimate with no trip charge inside the county.
We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, owned by Tom Barrett and run with his sons on-site most days. We’ve been pulling permits and passing inspections since 1998, and we know Lemmon Valley’s homes in a way an out-of-town crew simply can’t. The 89506 basin has its own rules. We respect them.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lemmon Valley’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We work in Lemmon Valley every month, and our crews know the difference between a 1970s rancher off Lemmon Drive and a newer master-planned build near Swan Lake. That matters because the slab conditions, HOA requirements, and permit reviews differ block to block. A contractor running jobs from Reno will not always know that a kitchen island on one side of the street triggers an architectural review while the same design across the way does not.
Every estimate we write for Lemmon Valley homeowners includes an allowance sheet. Every allowance, every change, every scope adjustment arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. That’s how we have done it for over 29 years, and it’s why Tom publishes his name, address, and license number where anyone can look them up. Ask on your street. Or look up the license yourself.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. No voicemail box, no out-of-state call center. If you call at 7 p.m. from Lemmon Valley to ask why your countertop template is scheduled a certain way, you reach a person who can answer.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Lemmon Valley
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Lemmon Valley means tearing down to studs and slab, addressing moisture where needed, then rebuilding with cabinets, counters, flooring, lighting, plumbing, and electrical. Because of the basin’s seasonal groundwater, we include a slab moisture assessment before drywall closes anything up. It costs a little more up front. Skipping it has cost Lemmon Valley homeowners five figures in mold remediation after the fact.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Most 1970s to 1990s kitchens in Lemmon Valley were built as closed-off cooking corridors. We open them up where the slab and bearing walls allow, and we design layouts that work for how people actually live now. That often means moving a sink or island, which on a Lemmon Valley slab means planning for drain line rerouting and moisture sealing before the finish work starts. We handle the design, the permit drawings, and the build under one roof.
Small & Partial Kitchen Remodels
Not every Lemmon Valley kitchen needs a full gut. We do plenty of partial remodels: new counters and backsplash, cabinet refacing, a new island with seating, replacing one wall of cabinetry. These jobs typically run $9,000 to $20,000 in Lemmon Valley and they are a smart first move for homeowners who want a better kitchen without opening the entire slab.
Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz in Lemmon Valley homes regularly. We also install granite, and we stock enough local supply relationships to get material turnaround within days, not weeks. If you want a quartz island that survives a busy family and seasonal temperature swings at 4,500 feet, we will spec it correctly and install it level on a slab we have already checked for movement.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Lemmon Valley runs $800 to $2,500 on most kitchens. Tile flooring runs higher depending on square footage and subfloor condition. In homes near Swan Lake, we see more movement in slab-adjacent flooring than in neighboring Reno, so we use underlayment and layout methods suited to the basin’s seasonal groundwater cycle.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lemmon Valley
We install and stand behind brands you can look up: KraftMaid, Cambria, Simonton, and Ply Gem among them. No mystery materials off a van. If a window over your Lemmon Valley sink needs replacing during the remodel, we can spec Simonton or Ply Gem frames and tie the install into the same permit and inspection cycle. That saves you a second round of scheduling and keeps the project moving.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Lemmon Valley Homes
- Slab moisture wicking into cabinets and flooring. Lemmon Valley sits in a closed hydrologic basin with no natural outlet. Spring snowmelt at roughly 4,500 feet elevation doesn’t drain; it accumulates. We regularly pull base cabinets and find the MDF toe-kicks soaked from groundwater that has been rising through unsealed slab cracks for years.
- Builder-grade finishes from the 1970s through 1990s. Most homes in the 89506 basin were built fast during suburban expansion north of Reno. Hollow-core oak cabinets, laminate counters, and vinyl flooring were standard. Owners who have lived with them for thirty years are often surprised how much a well-planned partial remodel can change the room without touching the roofline.
- Split-block FEMA permit reviews. After the 2017 to 2019 Swan Lake flooding, dozens of homes near the playa were condemned or county-bought-out. Remodeling a kitchen on a still-mortgageable slab next to a vacant buyout lot can trigger a permit review under updated flood zone rules that did not exist when the house was built.
- HOA architectural review on newer pockets. Master-planned parts of Lemmon Valley enforce review on cabinet paint colors, island placement, and vent hood ducting. A failed review stops the rough-in inspection sign-off, which stalls the whole job. We flag HOA requirements before the first permit is pulled.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Lemmon Valley
Yes, in most cases you can remodel a kitchen on a slab that remains mortgageable under a grandfathered FEMA zone, but expect a split-block permit review if an adjacent lot was a county buyout. The updated flood zone designation applies to new construction on the buyout parcel, while your existing home may still be reviewed under older standards. That mismatch can slow punch list approvals by weeks. We pull the permits and work directly with the county reviewer so you aren’t chasing paperwork. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your specific parcel before you spend a dollar on design.
Replace the slab moisture barrier and seal the slab crack before you replace cabinets or flooring. In Lemmon Valley, the closed basin and spring snowmelt raise groundwater seasonally, and moisture wicks through unsealed slab cracks into anything sitting on them. If you install new cabinets over an unsealed crack, you’ll be pulling them out again within a few seasons. We test first, seal second, then install. Call (877) 610-1318 for a moisture assessment with your estimate.
It can, if the remodel is done without permits or if an unlicensed contractor makes structural changes the builder later disclaims. The key is pulling permits and keeping the work within the scope your builder warranty allows. We pull permits and pass inspections on every eligible job, which gives you a paper trail the builder can’t easily argue against. Bring us your warranty language and we’ll tell you what’s safe to touch. Estimates are free at (877) 610-1318.
Newer master-planned pockets in Lemmon Valley enforce architectural review on island placement, cabinet paint colors, and even vent hood ducting. A failed review stops the rough-in inspection sign-off, which stalls the entire project. Before we design your island, we pull your HOA’s ARC guidelines and flag any conflicts. We’d rather find the problem on paper than after the slab is cut. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your specific HOA enforces.
Yes. Moving a sink or island on a Lemmon Valley slab means rerouting drain lines through concrete and sealing the new penetrations against the seasonal high groundwater, but it’s done regularly and it’s done well when the slab is tested first. We recently remodeled a 1984 single-story rancher off Lemmon Drive where the owners replaced builder-grade laminate counters and hollow-core oak cabinetry. During demo, our crew found the previous dishwasher rough-in installed directly over an unsealed slab crack that had been wicking groundwater for years. We pulled the subfloor, leveled the slab with an elevated moisture barrier, reframed the island as load-bearing, and then installed the Cambria quartz counters and KraftMaid cabinets the owners had chosen. The layout changed, the moisture didn’t win. Call (877) 610-1318 for a site visit and a written scope.
