AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Maywood
Kitchen remodeling in Maywood, CA typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full project, with smaller partial remodels landing between $9,000 and $20,000. We know these numbers because we see the actual scopes every week, not because we pulled a national average off a chart. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel in Maywood, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written line-item estimate, not a phone quote that evaporates when the crew shows up.
Maywood packs roughly 25,000 people into 1.18 square miles, which makes it one of the densest incorporated cities in the country. The lots are tight, the houses are old, and the permitting runs through LA County instead of a local counter. That changes how a kitchen remodel gets planned, sequenced, and inspected. It’s also why a contractor who knows Maywood is worth more than one who treats your street like any other stop on the map.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Maywood’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons still run crews in Maywood and the surrounding southeast LA cities. When you call, a live person answers, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he’ll tell you to look them up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street, or check the license yourself.
Most Maywood kitchens were built between the 1940s and 1960s. We’ve remodeled enough of them to know what’s behind the walls before we open them: asbestos in the drywall or floor tile, lead paint under the cabinets, and foundations sitting on alluvial soil near the LA River. We coordinate abatement before demolition starts, and we pull permits through LA County Building and Safety, because Maywood contracts its building functions to the county. That’s a detail a lot of contractors learn the hard way, and it’s one reason we schedule inspections differently here than we would in Bell or Huntington Park.
Every Barrett & Sons job gets the same thing: a written change order before any scope change touches the work, permits pulled and inspections signed, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise on every contract. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back. One call.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Maywood
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Maywood usually means taking the room down to studs, reworking the layout, and building it back with new plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, counters, and flooring. On the narrow 25-to-40-foot lots we see throughout the 90270 ZIP, the challenge is almost always space. We’ve turned galley kitchens in postwar bungalows into open layouts that don’t fight the existing footprint. Expect $14,000 to $45,000 depending on appliance packages, cabinet quality, and how much of the original framing can stay.
Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz, and we also do refacing when the boxes are structurally sound and you want to avoid the cost of full replacement. In Maywood’s older stock, cabinet refacing often makes sense because the rooms are small and the existing cabinet layout already works. Cabinet installation runs $4,000 to $13,000. Countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500, with quartz and granite as the most common choices for Maywood homeowners.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
The right backsplash makes a small kitchen feel wider, and in Maywood’s compact kitchens, that matters more than it does in a suburban tract house. We handle full tile backsplash installation for $800 to $2,500, and flooring replacement built around the reality that many of these older homes sit on slab foundations with only so much room to raise the finished height. We’ll recommend materials that handle the LA Basin’s temperature swings without cracking at the seams.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Maywood’s housing stock doesn’t give designers much room to waste. The typical postwar bungalow kitchen is 80 to 120 square feet, and a poor layout makes it feel half that size. Our Kitchen Remodeling team starts every Maywood project by measuring the actual room and working with you on a layout that respects how you cook, how many people live in the house, and where the plumbing already runs, because moving a drain line in a slab foundation costs real money.

Trusted Brands We Service in Maywood
We don’t install mystery brands off a van. In Maywood kitchens, you’ll see KraftMaid and Cambria, which we can order and track directly through our suppliers. On the plumbing end of a kitchen remodel, we standardize on Sterling fixtures and Grohe faucets, because we know how they perform and how to get parts fast when a warranty issue comes up. If you already own appliances, we work around them. If you’re replacing them, we’ll recommend models that fit the space without eating your cabinet run.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Maywood Homes
- Asbestos and lead paint in pre-1978 structures. Most Maywood bungalows and two-to-four-unit apartment buildings went up between the 1940s and 1960s, and many still have asbestos in the drywall, floor tile, or duct wrap. Lead paint is common too. We build abatement coordination into the schedule before demolition starts, so the inspector never surprises you.
- Foundation questions on alluvial soil. Maywood sits near the LA River on soil with notable liquefaction potential in a seismic event. We won’t put new cabinets and counters on a floor that’s heaving or settling, and we’ll tell you if a structural assessment makes sense before you spend money on finishes.
- Permit routing through LA County. Maywood doesn’t run its own building department. Permits go through LA County Building and Safety, with different timelines than adjacent cities. Contractors who don’t know that end up with stalled projects and unhappy inspectors. We file and schedule through the county from day one.
- Tight staging conditions. With almost no setback and neighbors inches away, we can’t park a dumpster and a material trailer on your street and call it a day. We sequence deliveries in smaller loads and coordinate with Maywood’s street parking realities so your remodel doesn’t become a block-wide headache.
