A full kitchen remodel in Rockport runs $14,000 to $45,000 for most homes, with smaller projects like cabinet installation starting around $4,000. The work typically takes 4 to 10 weeks depending on whether you’re dealing with a Hurricane Harvey rebuild, a canal home on pilings, or a mid-century cottage that’s never been opened up. If you’re standing in a kitchen that doesn’t fit how your family lives, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the space with you, no pressure and no charge for the estimate in Aransas County.

Call (877) 610-1318

We know what Rockport kitchens deal with: salt air eating at hardware, wind-driven rain working its way through walls that were patched in a hurry after Harvey, and the constant question of whether the insurance company will sign off when the work is done. None of that is a surprise to us. It’s the starting point for every estimate we write here.

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

Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and his sons run the crews. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers, not a voicemail box in another state. Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look him up before you sign anything. We’d rather you did.

Rockport homeowners don’t ask us for a cheap bid. They ask us whether we’ll be the ones doing the work, whether the price on paper is the price they’ll pay, and whether the TDI windstorm inspector will sign off at framing. Those are the right questions. We answer all three the same way: scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing, and permits pulled on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.

We work across Rockport from Key Allegro down to the neighborhoods off Business 35, and we’ve done kitchens in elevated canal homes, rebuilt bungalows, and a few places that have been family property since before the causeway widened. The housing stock here is uneven after Harvey. That’s not a problem we complain about. It’s a reality we plan for.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Rockport

Full Kitchen Remodeling

From tearing out a water-damaged kitchen in a Harvey rebuild to reworking a cramped galley into something you can actually cook in, our Kitchen Remodeling team handles the whole job. In Rockport, a full gut remodel usually means replacing the subfloor, reworking plumbing that sat in salt air, and getting the electrical panel up to current code before we hang a single cabinet. We coordinate the TDI windstorm inspection windows so your closing doesn’t stall later.

Full remodels in Rockport run $14,000 to $45,000. KraftMaid and Cambria are the cabinet and countertop brands we reach for most often here because they hold up to coastal humidity better than what the big-box store sells off the shelf.

Cabinets & Countertops

Salt-laden air corrodes cabinet hinges and drawer slides faster in Rockport than it does thirty miles inland. Homeowners tell us their old hardware was rusted stiff within five years. We install cabinets with stainless and coated hardware that doesn’t seize up, and we level the installs to floors that have shifted on their piers. Cabinet installation in Rockport runs $4,000 to $13,000. Countertop installation runs $2,000 to $6,500 for quartz or granite in a typical kitchen footprint.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Backsplash installation in Rockport runs $800 to $2,500 for standard tile work. The bigger question is what’s behind the backsplash. We regularly find moisture damage from wind-driven rain that snuck past a window frame or an exterior wall that was never properly flashed after a patch job. We don’t tile over that. We show you what we found and give you a written change order before any repair work happens.

Kitchen Design & Layout

A lot of Rockport kitchens were laid out for a different era: closed off, one cook, maybe a breakfast nook with a view that got boarded over after the storm. We sit down with you and rework the flow so the kitchen opens toward how your family actually lives now. If you want an island, that runs $3,000 to $10,000 installed depending on size, plumbing, and whether we’re adding electrical. Every layout change gets priced on paper before a hammer swings.

Trusted Brands We Service in Rockport

We carry KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens, and when a Rockport remodel touches hardscape or an outdoor kitchen, we use Belgard and Techo-Bloc rather than whatever’s stacked at the loading dock. Materials you can look up, not mystery brands off a van. For the parts and hardware we install in Rockport kitchens, we keep a local stock of the fasteners and brackets our crews trust in coastal air, so we’re not running back to a supplier in Corpus every time a drawer slide needs replacing.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Rockport Homes

• Harvey-era patch work hiding real damage. After the 2017 storm, a lot of Rockport kitchens got cosmetic fixes: new counters and fresh paint over studs that had soaked for days. When we open those walls, we often find rot and corroded strap ties. We show you the photos and price the repair in writing before touching the finish work.
• Windstorm inspection stamps missing from previous work. A kitchen that was rebuilt without a TDI windstorm sign-off at framing can block a TWIA policy, which blocks a mortgage in Aransas County. If a previous remodel skipped that step, we flag it early. You need to know before you spend another dollar on cabinets.
• Salt-drift corrosion on hinges, slides, and sink hardware. Rockport sits right on Aransas Bay with no barrier island to block the south and southeast weather. Stainless and hot-dipped galvanized hardware aren’t an upsell here. They’re the difference between a kitchen that works for ten years and one that creaks and seizes in five.
• Cabinets hung on floors that have settled. Pier-and-beam foundations shift. Canal homes on pilings settle differently from the bungalows over on the mainland side of 35. We level every base cabinet run to the actual floor, not to a bubble level from a house in Austin. That’s the kind of thing you only notice if you’ve done this work in Rockport long enough.
