We are Barrett & Sons Construction, and we have remodeled kitchens all over Redlands, from the Craftsman bungalows near Smiley Heights to the mid-century ranches south of the 10 in 92374. We also handle Roofing - Redlands projects and more. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you call, a live person answers. When you sign, every allowance is on paper. When a wall gets opened and the house surprises us, you get a written change order before we do anything else.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Redlands’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
Redlands is not a generic market. The older homes north of Citrus Avenue are full of balloon framing, original plaster, and knob-and-tube wiring that hides quietly until a permit inspector asks to see behind the walls. We know what those inspections turn up, because we have been through them. We quote the remodel honestly the first time, and we write the risky allowances into the contract so a code-mandated rewire does not become a surprise invoice at the end.
Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. That is the point. You will see our crew members wearing Barrett & Sons uniforms, background-checked, and you will see Tom on-site on most days. This is not a franchise dispatching strangers. This is a family-owned company serving Redlands with permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job.
Every completed kitchen remodel is backed by the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, one call brings Tom back. That promise is on the contract, not buried in fine print.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Redlands
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A full kitchen remodel in Redlands means opening walls, relocating plumbing, upgrading electrical, and rebuilding the space from the studs out. In the Victorian and Craftsman homes off Cajon Street and around Smiley Heights, that also means working carefully with original framing and plaster. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and keep the job moving. Our Kitchen Remodeling team handles the entire scope, from demolition to final paint.
Cabinets & Countertops
Cabinet installation in Redlands runs $4,000 to $13,000, and countertop installation lands between $2,000 and $6,500. We carry KraftMaid cabinets and can order Cambria quartz for homeowners who want a documented, premium material. For period-sensitive homes, we source shaker and inset door styles that read correctly in a 1910 Craftsman kitchen without giving up modern drawer hardware.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Redlands typically costs $800 to $2,500. Tile selection matters more here than the homeowner usually expects, especially in historic districts where the Historic Preservation Commission may want a period-compatible look. We help you choose tile that satisfies the commission and still holds up to daily cooking. Schluter waterproofing systems go under every tile floor and shower surround we install.
Kitchen Design & Layout
Older Redlands kitchens were built small, with a range against one wall and a sink under a window. Opening that up without wrecking the structure takes planning. We measure, draw, and walk you through the layout before anything gets ordered. In a 1910 Craftsman near Smiley Heights, our crew found original knob-and-tube wiring buried behind plaster and a load-bearing wall that had been notched decades ago. We brought in a third-party inspector, wrote a change order for new rough-in wiring and a steel beam before touching the framing, and got inspection sign-off before the walls were closed. That is how design and reality meet.

Trusted Brands We Service in Redlands
We install materials you can look up. KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens. Schluter waterproofing under tile. Grohe fixtures when the job calls for them. We do not put mystery brands off a van into your home. If a part fails during the warranty period, we handle the replacement, and we keep our local scheduling tight so Redlands customers are not waiting on an out-of-state parts department.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Redlands Homes
- Knob-and-tube wiring hiding behind plaster. Once a permit inspector sees it, a full rewire is usually required. We write the rewire allowance into the contract before we start, so the cost is known on day one.
- Failed waterproofing around original wood windows. Santa Ana-driven rain hits north-facing elevations hard, and the subfloor under an old kitchen window is often rotted. We check before we lay tile.
- Notched load-bearing framing from previous remodels. Older Redlands kitchens often bear scars from a 1970s or 1980s remodel that cut corners. We reinforce before we hang cabinets.
- Adobe clay soil movement under raised foundations. Seasonal moisture shifts crack new tile and countertops if the subfloor is not leveled with that movement in mind. We account for it.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Redlands
Yes. If your home sits in a designated historic district, any exterior alteration visible from the street requires Redlands Historic Preservation Commission review, and interior work on a contributing structure may trigger additional scrutiny if it changes the building’s character. We handle the paperwork, submit period-compatible materials for approval, and work within the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitation. Call (877) 610-1318 to discuss your specific property.
We inspect first, then write the likely fixes into the contract as allowances. If we find knob-and-tube wiring, a notched load-bearing wall, or failed waterproofing, you get a written change order with a fixed price before any work changes. No surprise invoices. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask about the inspection step.
Usually yes. The adobe clay under older Redlands neighborhoods shrinks and swells with seasonal moisture, so we check floor flatness and often add self-leveling underlayment or adjust the subfloor before tile goes down. This is standard in our quotes for homes in 92373 and parts of 92374. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact assessment.
Yes. Every eligible Redlands kitchen remodel we run includes permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That is why I like him. When the inspector signs off, the job is done right, not just done. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk permits.
Yes. We source shaker cabinets, inset doors, aperiod-appropriate tile, and fixtures that read correctly in a 1910 or 1920 Redlands kitchen while giving you modern drawer slides, soft-close hinges, and proper waterproofing. The goal is a kitchen that belongs to the house. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your project.
