Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Manor
A full kitchen remodel in Manor typically runs $14,000-$45,000, with smaller jobs like countertops or cabinet installation falling between $2,000 and $13,000. If you’re in Manor and stuck with a builder-grade kitchen that’s showing its age after a few Central Texas summers, you need someone who knows the difference between working with a 2005 ShadowGlen slab home and a 2020 Whisper Valley energy-efficient build – because the approach isn’t the same. That’s where we come in. Barrett & Sons Construction is owner-operated, founded in 1998, and Tom Barrett’s sons run our crews who work right here in the 78653 ZIP code. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Manor’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise that dispatches strangers from another county. Tom Barrett answers his own phone, and his sons are on-site for most Manor jobs. When you call our office, a live person picks up – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. That matters when you’ve got a cabinet delivery scheduled and you want to know the truck is actually rolling toward your street off FM 973.
Manor homeowners have told us exactly why they called us after getting burned before. The national kitchen remodeler that quoted one price in the showroom and handed them a different invoice at the door. The contractor who swore permits were “optional.” We do the opposite on all of it. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. Permits get pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job. And Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number – you can look him up before you sign anything.
Every completed kitchen remodel in Manor carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back. That’s not a line on a website. It’s on every contract.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Manor
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A gut-and-rebuild in Manor means something specific. Most homes here sit on concrete slabs over Blackland Prairie clay, which moves. Before we touch cabinets, we check for floor level issues that older Austin bungalows don’t deal with. That’s the kind of local knowledge that keeps your new island from cracking a tile six months in. We handle demolition, layout changes, electrical, plumbing, cabinets, counters, flooring, and full appliance coordination. Our Kitchen Remodeling team walks you through every phase before we start.

Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinet installation in Manor generally runs $4,000-$13,000, and countertop installation typically lands between $2,000 and $6,500. We install brands you can look up – KraftMaid and Cambria, not mystery plywood off a van. For homes in ShadowGlen or over toward Hornsby Bend, we’re often replacing flat-pack builder cabinets that started bowing within a decade. Solid construction beats what came with the house.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Manor costs $800-$2,500 on average. Because Manor homes are newer, we do far fewer full structural floor replacements than we do cosmetic upgrades – but that doesn’t mean it’s simple. Texas clay movement shows up as cracked grout lines and hairline separation at counter joints. We know what that means and what it doesn’t, so we won’t sell you work you don’t need.

Kitchen Design & Layout
Manor’s housing stock is almost entirely slab-on-grade builds from the 2000s-2020s. That means open-concept layouts are the norm, but many homeowners want changes – a bigger island, a walk-in pantry conversion, better flow between the kitchen and living room. Kitchen island installation here typically costs $3,000-$10,000 depending on plumbing and electrical runs. We plan around what your slab will actually support.

Trusted Brands We Service in Manor
We don’t install whatever’s cheapest on the shelf. For kitchen remodels in Manor, we carry and install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz surfaces. For outdoor kitchen tie-ins and patio work you might add while we’re there, we also work with Belgard and Techo-Bloc hardscape products. Our Bathroom Remodeling in Manor crews often coordinate with kitchen work when homeowners want to use the same countertop fabricator or cabinet line across both rooms. When you pick a brand, you can look it up. We like that arrangement – it keeps everyone honest.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Manor Homes
- Builder-grade cabinets failing early. Manor grew fast, and a lot of the 2000s-2010s tract homes in places like ShadowGlen were built at volume. Particle-board cabinet boxes and soft-close hinges that weren’t installed correctly start showing wear within 5-8 years. We see this constantly.
- Foundation movement showing up in the kitchen. Houston Black clay expands and contracts violently with wet/dry cycles. When a slab heaves, you’ll notice it first at the kitchen island – the gap between the island base and the tile shifts, or a once-level countertop suddenly isn’t. We check slab condition before installing anything on top of it.
- Island plumbing and electrical that was never meant to be moved. Many Manor homeowners want to relocate or enlarge an island. What they don’t realize is that the original slab pour may not have plumbing stubs where the new sink needs to go. We handle the concrete cutting and rerouting properly, with permits pulled.
- Open-concept kitchens with no real storage plan. The master-planned communities in Manor lean heavily toward open-concept kitchens with a big island and minimal upper cabinets. We routinely redesign these to add functional storage without closing off the sight lines homeowners love.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Manor
A full kitchen remodel in Manor typically costs $14,000-$45,000, while a small or partial remodel runs $9,000-$20,000. The final number depends on cabinet quality, countertop material, whether you’re moving plumbing or electrical, and any slab prep needed on your foundation.

Yes. We work across the entire 78653 ZIP code, including ShadowGlen, Whisper Valley, and every other Manor subdivision. Whisper Valley in particular has geothermal ground loops and solar conduit buried on lots, so we coordinate around those specs when doing any work that touches the ground. That’s not something a contractor from outside the area thinks about.
Our scheduling for kitchen remodels in Manor is based on the next available project slot, not a false promise of “we’ll start Monday.” Because we pull permits and plan the job properly before touching anything, most Manor kitchens are ready for demolition within a few weeks of signing. You’ll get a written timeline before you commit. Call (877) 610-1318 to check current availability.
No. The pricing structure is the same across Manor, Elgin, Pflugerville, Hornsby Bend, and Wells Branch. What changes is not the city but the house itself – slab condition, age of the builder-grade finishes, and whether you’re in an older ShadowGlen build or a newer Whisper Valley home with different infrastructure underneath. Same written pricing, same change order policy. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
No, not without your written approval first. Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every material substitution arrives as a written change order before any work happens. That’s the whole point of how Barrett & Sons operates – the allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We don’t do surprises. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk about your kitchen.
