Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Little Elm’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company

Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That means the name on the truck is the name on the work. When we show up to a kitchen in Little Elm, you’re not getting a rotating cast from a dispatch center in another state, you’re getting the same faces throughout the job, including Tom himself on most days. And when a city grows as fast as Little Elm has, that continuity matters more than usual, because nearly every house here was built fast, and fast-built houses hide surprises.

We pull permits on every eligible job and make sure the inspector signs off. Most Little Elm homeowners we meet have dealt with a contractor who treated permits like an optional formality. We don’t. The inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like him. Every price change arrives as a written change order before any work proceeds, which means the number you agree to is the number you pay unless we hand you a signed document saying otherwise. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, and we answer the phone around the clock with a live person. You can also look up Tom’s license number yourself. It’s published. Ask anyone on your street if that’s normal for a kitchen remodeler in Little Elm.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Little Elm

Full Kitchen Remodeling

This is the big one. A full kitchen remodel in Little Elm usually means tearing out builder-grade cabinets, replacing laminate countertops, reworking the layout, and often opening a wall or two. Because so many homes here were built by production builders between 2005 and 2022, we’re typically working against tight lot layouts and slab-on-grade construction, which changes how we route plumbing and electrical. We handle the entire job from demolition to the final walkthrough, with every allowance in writing from day one. Our Kitchen Remodeling team has done more full remodels in the 75068 zip code than we can count, and we’ve gotten particular about what these houses need.

Cabinets & Countertops

Cabinet installation in Little Elm generally runs $4,000 to $13,000, and countertops add another $2,000 to $6,500 depending on material. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria or quartz countertops because those are brands you can look up and verify, not mystery materials off a van. If your home came with builder-standard oak cabinets from the Housing boom around 2012 or later, we can reface or replace them. We’ll walk you through the difference in cost and durability before you spend a dime.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Backsplash installation in Little Elm runs $800 to $2,500, and it’s one of the fastest ways to change the feel of a kitchen without a full gut. We also handle tile flooring and underlayment, which matters more here than people expect. Little Elm sits on expansive black clay soil, and those seasonal shifts, the brutal summer droughts followed by wet winters, transmit movement through slab foundations. Proper underlayment and joint placement keep tile from cracking when the ground beneath the house breathes. Most production homes in the area got minimal attention to detail on this front, so we plan for it from the first measurement.

Kitchen Design & Layout

We’ll sit at your table and draw the kitchen with you, not hand you a catalog and ask you to pick numbers. Many Little Elm kitchens built in the 2010s share a similar footprint, tight galley or L-shaped layouts with an island wedged in. We regularly reconfigure those for better flow, moving sinks off exterior walls when drainage routing allows and shifting islands to create proper work triangles. If you’re considering a kitchen island installation, budget $3,000 to $10,000 depending on size, plumbing, and electrical. The design work is included in every full remodel, and we’ll put every scope decision on paper before the saws come out.

Trusted Brands We Service in Little Elm

We stock and install materials from names you can verify, not box-store mystery brands, and we keep common parts available for our Little Elm customers so small fixes don’t turn into week-long waits. In kitchens we lean on KraftMaid and Cambria, and across the rest of the house you’ll see us working with Simonton windows, Ply Gem for doors and trim, and PGT impact-rated products where storm protection matters. If a brand is written on your estimate, that’s the brand going into your kitchen. It’s a simple rule, but Little Elm homeowners tell us it’s the exception now.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Little Elm Homes

• Builder-grade bones under a pretty facade. Little Elm’s population exploded from roughly 3,600 in 2000 to over 50,000 today, and nearly every home was built on a compressed timeline by a handful of high-volume production builders. Kitchen remodels here almost always reveal thin drywall, cheap cabinet boxes, and plumbing runs that meet code minimums and nothing more. We plan for that up front so it doesn’t ambush your budget mid-job.
• Slab-on-grade plumbing constraints. Practically every home in Little Elm sits on a concrete slab, including the master-planned communities like Paloma Creek. Moving a sink or adding an island sink means cutting into that slab to reroute drain lines, which adds cost and time. We’ll show you exactly what that entails in the estimate, with the numbers on paper, not guessed.
• Expansive clay soil movement. The black clay under Little Elm swells and contracts hard through North Texas seasons, and we see the evidence in kitchen floors, hairline cracks running across tile, cabinets that no longer sit flush against walls, and countertops with subtle gaps at the backsplash. A remodel done without accounting for that movement will show its seams within two years. We account for it from the first measurement.
• Undersized drainage around lake-adjacent lots. Many of the subdivisions built quickly along Lewisville Lake got minimal lot grading and undersized drainage easements. The local water table sits high in lower-lying neighborhoods, and we’ve seen kitchens with moisture issues traced directly to poor exterior drainage. Before we touch a kitchen addition or exterior wall opening, we check where water goes when it rains. If the site drainage needs re-engineering, that gets addressed in the written scope, not glossed over.
