AfterFast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across Taylor
A full kitchen remodel in Taylor, TX typically runs $14,000 to $45,000, and the biggest variable isn’t the cabinets or the countertops - it’s who you let into your house. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been remodeling kitchens for over 29 years, founded in 1998 by Tom Barrett. Tom’s sons run the crews, and every job starts the same way: a written scope, a line-item price, and a handshake from someone whose name is on the truck. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel in Taylor, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out, measure, and give you a number that won’t move unless you ask it to.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Taylor’s Preferred Kitchen Remodeling Company
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers from three states away. Tom Barrett lives nearby, answers his own phone, and puts his license number on every contract - look it up before you sign anything. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we pull permits on every eligible job in Taylor because “optional permits” is how you end up with a kitchen that can’t be insured. Our crew members are background-checked, wear the Barrett & Sons name on their shirts, and most of them are Tom’s sons or people who’ve worked with the family for years.
Taylor homeowners tend to ask the same question after a first remodel goes sideways: who fixes it? We back every job with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. That’s not a warranty buried in fine print - it’s printed on the contract, and it’s the reason people on Davis Street and around Murphy Park keep our number in their phones.
Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in Taylor
Whether you live in a 1940s pier-and-beam home near downtown Taylor or a brand-new subdivision out by the Samsung fab, the way we approach your Kitchen Remodeling project stays consistent: scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing. Here’s what that looks like on the ground.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
We gut it down to the studs or rebuild in phases, depending on how you want to live through the work. Taylor’s older homes near Main Street often hide surprises behind the drywall - knob-and-tube wiring, water damage around old sink bases, pier-and-beam floors that have shifted over decades of Blackland Prairie soil movement. We plan for those discoveries before they become change-order shocks, and when they show up anyway, you get a written change order before a single nail moves.
Cabinets & Countertops
We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz, materials you can look up instead of mystery brands off a van. Cabinet installation in Taylor runs $4,000 to $13,000, and countertop installation $2,000 to $6,500, depending on linear footage and material. For homes in the historic district where original millwork matters, we’ll match profiles and finishes rather than ripping out character.
Backsplash, Tile & Flooring
Backsplash installation in Taylor runs $800 to $2,500 for a standard cooktop wall, and we’ve done everything from simple subway tile to full-height quartz slabs behind a range. Taylor’s clay soil means older floors often slope - we level before we tile, and we tell you exactly what that costs before we start. Nobody should discover a surprise floor-joist bill two weeks into a remodel.
Kitchen Design & Layout
We work with your existing footprint or move walls if the layout’s wrong. Taylor’s mid-century homes often had tiny galley kitchens built for one cook, and most of our remodels open those up into something that works for holidays and grandkids. We show you cabinet configurations, appliance clearances, and traffic paths before demolition starts, so you’re not guessing at how the kitchen will feel.

Trusted Brands We Service in Taylor
We carry premium materials because cheap products fail in ways you feel every day. Quartz and granite countertops come from Cambria and other traceable fabricators. Cabinets are KraftMaid - real wood, real hardware, real warranty. On the hardscape side of our work we run Belgard and Techo-Bloc, the same brands we’d set in our own backyards. When you call us for Bathroom Remodeling in Taylor or a patio to match the kitchen you’re building, the material standard doesn’t drop. We order from local suppliers in Taylor and Williamson County, so replacements and add-ons don’t wait on a truck from Dallas.
Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in Taylor Homes
After nearly three decades working around Taylor, we can walk into a house and tell you what the last guy did wrong before we lift a cabinet. Here’s what shows up most often.
- Pier-and-beam settlement under old kitchens. Taylor’s Blackland Prairie clay swells when it rains and cracks when it doesn’t, and homes built before slab-on-grade took over sit on piers that shift. A kitchen island installed on an unlevel floor will rock, and cabinets will pull away from walls over time. We check floor level before we design anything.
- No permits, no record. We see kitchens remodeled by contractors who told the homeowner permits were optional. When the house goes up for sale, the buyer’s inspector flags unpermitted electrical or plumbing, and the deal stalls. Every job we do in Taylor gets permits pulled and inspections signed - the inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why I like him.
- Undersized electrical panels. Taylor’s 1950s and 1960s homes were wired for a refrigerator and a percolator, not a double oven, a microwave, and an induction cooktop. We check the panel before we spec appliances, and we tell you if upgrading is a must or a maybe, with a price for each.
- Moisture damage around old sinks and windows. A leak that’s been dripping behind a 30-year-old cabinet doesn’t announce itself until the floor sags. In Taylor’s humid summers, that wet wood rots faster than you’d think. We open the wall, show you what’s there, and give you a written number before any repair begins.
Pricing for Kitchen Remodeling in Taylor, TX
A full kitchen remodel in Taylor runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, layout changes, and whether we’re moving plumbing or electrical. A small kitchen remodel - cosmetic finishes, refaced cabinets, new counters - runs $9,000 to $20,000. Kitchen islands run $3,000 to $10,000, including base cabinets, top, and electrical if you want outlets. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, so every allowance in our contracts is written, and every change order is signed before work proceeds. You won’t get a different bill at the door because we don’t write different bills. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll scope it, price it, and hand you a line-item estimate you can keep.

FAQs - Kitchen Remodeling in Taylor
We typically schedule an on-site visit within a few days of your call, and you’ll talk to a live person at (877) 610-1318 - not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. The real timing variable in Taylor right now isn’t us; it’s subcontractor availability. Since Samsung broke ground on the fab plant along Highway 79, concrete and framing crews that used to book out two to four weeks now need months of lead time. We schedule around that and tell you the real timeline before you sign. Call for a free estimate and we’ll bring dates, not promises.
Yes. We work all over Taylor - the historic homes near Main Street and Murphy Park, the established neighborhoods around Davis and Sloan, and the new subdivisions pushing out toward the Samsung campus. The full 76574 zip code is in our service area, with no trip charge inside Williamson County. If you’re a few miles outside city limits on farm-to-market roads, call and we’ll confirm your specific property.
We offer 24/7 phone coverage because a live person answers (877) 610-1318 any hour, any day. But a kitchen remodel isn’t an emergency in the same way a roof leak or a burst pipe is - it’s planned work, and we won’t pretend to rush it. What we do offer is the Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate. If another contractor quoted you a kitchen remodel in Taylor, bring us the paperwork and we’ll review it at no charge. You may find allowances and exclusions you didn’t know were there.
Kitchen remodel pricing in Taylor runs $14,000 to $45,000 for a full project, which is on par with Round Rock and Pflugerville and slightly below what you’d see in some Austin-area suburbs. What’s different in Taylor right now is labor availability - the Samsung fab construction has absorbed enormous portions of the local subcontractor base, which squeezes schedules more than it inflates material prices. We hold our line-item quotes firm because the numbers are written, not guessed. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Every kitchen remodel we complete is covered by the written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right - one call. That’s in addition to manufacturer warranties on KraftMaid cabinets, Cambria counters, and the other named materials we install. We also pull permits and pass inspections on every eligible project, so the work is on record with the city of Taylor. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate, and you’ll see the warranty language on the contract before you sign anything.
