Kitchen Remodeling in The Colony - Written Fixed Price, Finish Date in the Contract

Fast, Reliable Kitchen Remodeling Across The Colony

A full kitchen remodel in The Colony, TX typically runs $14,000 to $45,000 depending on scope, cabinets, countertops, and whether the job touches load-bearing walls. Most projects on the original 1970s-1990s planned-community homes we work in take four to eight weeks, with the first two weeks often eaten up by the permit and engineer’s letter that The Colony building department requires on structural work. If you live in 75056 and want a price that holds, call us at (877) 610-1318. We walk the house, we put the scope in writing, and we don’t start until the permit is on the wall.

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

Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run crews on most job sites around The Colony today. That means the name on the contract is the same family standing in your kitchen when the cabinets come out. We’re not dispatching strangers from an out-of-state call center. A live person answers our phone around the clock, and when a structural question comes up mid-job, the person who can make the decision is twenty minutes away.

We serve the original Colony subdivisions, the newer builds east of the tollway, and everything north of Main Street down to the lake edge. What we know locally matters more than a slick sales pitch: the post-tension slabs under most of these homes don’t forgive shortcuts, and the city’s permit inspectors check for load calculations on header changes that out-of-area crews often miss entirely. Our The Colony customers keep calling us back because the work passes inspection the first time, and because the price on day one is the price on the final invoice unless you approve a written change order.

Every contract includes our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right after we finish, Tom comes back and makes it right with one call. That’s not a line in a brochure. It’s written on the page, and it’s why a lot of our remodeling work in The Colony comes from neighbors telling neighbors.

Our Kitchen Remodeling Services in The Colony

Most of the kitchens we rebuild in The Colony fall into one of four pockets: full gut renovations, cabinet and countertop swaps, layout changes that move islands and open walls, and targeted upgrades like backsplash and flooring done around existing cabinets. Each one has different permitting implications in this city, and we handle all of them.

Full Kitchen Remodeling

A full kitchen remodel in The Colony usually means taking the room to studs, redoing electrical and plumbing rough-in, and rebuilding with new cabinets, counters, flooring, lighting, and finishes. On the original tract homes south of Main Street and east of the lake, this often triggers the city’s structural review requirement the minute a bearing wall gets touched. We build that into the bid from day one, so the engineer’s letter isn’t a surprise line item four weeks in. Expect $14,000 to $45,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and how much of the floor plan changes.

Cabinets & Countertops

Cabinet replacement in The Colony runs $4,000 to $13,000, and countertops add $2,000 to $6,500 on top of that. We install KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria or quartz and granite countertops you can look up by name before you sign. The clay soils under The Colony don’t care about your cabinet doors, but the substrate underneath the floor does. We check for slab movement before we set anything, because a level countertop on an unlevel slab is a callback waiting for a date.

Backsplash, Tile & Flooring

Backsplash installation in The Colony typically runs $800 to $2,500. Kitchen tile and flooring range wider, depending on square footage and whether existing flooring has to come out first. On older Colony homes, the floor plane has often shifted enough that we recommend an uncoupling membrane or a self-leveling pour before tile goes down. That’s the kind of step an out-of-county bid often skips, and it’s the difference between tile that lasts and grout lines that crack in the first drought cycle.

Kitchen Design & Layout

Before we price anything, we measure. On post-tension slab homes, the location of the island, the range, and the sink sometimes has to respect where the slab can and can’t be penetranted. Moving an island from one side of the kitchen to the other might be a $3,000 decision or a $10,000 one, depending on plumbing, electrical, and whether the slab can handle the new load path. We’ll draw it, price it, and hand you the plan with the permit application on top. You shouldn’t have to guess what the city will approve.

Kitchen Island Installation

A new kitchen island in The Colony typically costs $3,000 to $10,000. That range includes the island build, countertop, electrical, and any venting changes. When a cooktop with a roof vent is part of the plan, the wind-load deflection limit on the roof penetration becomes a code item. A cheap quote from an out-of-town crew frequently skips the tie-downs and anchors that the city’s inspector looks for. Ours includes them.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Colony

Look up the materials before we install them. We run KraftMaid and other name-brand cabinets, Cambria quartz, and granite from reputable Texas suppliers. For any hardscape or entry work tied to the kitchen remodel, we can also pull in Belgard or Techo-Bloc products. We don’t stock mystery brands off a van, and every product line we install in The Colony homes has a manufacturer warranty that actually answers the phone. That matters when you’re spending five figures on the hardest-working room in the house.

Common Kitchen Remodeling Problems We See in The Colony Homes

• Permit denial after demolition. The Colony requires a licensed structural engineer’s assessment before issuing permits for any load-bearing wall work on post-tension slab homes. Out-of-area contractors regularly skip this step, and homeowners find out after the wall is already open. We submit the engineer’s letter with the permit application, every time.
• Cabinet and drywall cracks within a year. Expansive black clay under The Colony shrinks in summer and heaves in spring. If you hang cabinets on a wall that isn’t stabilized for that movement, the joints open up. We address substrate stabilization before finish work begins.
• Failed final inspection on header changes. The city requires load calculations when a header changes size or span. A general contractor from outside Denton County may not know this. We do, and our rough-in passes before the trim carpenters ever show up.
• Post-tension slab surprises mid-project. We opened a bearing wall in a 1980s single-story home south of Main Street and found slab heave had shifted the header enough to flag inspection. We paused the rough-in, pulled in the structural engineer’s letter, and revised the scope with a written change order for a steel beam. The permit stayed live and the draw schedule stayed on track instead of stalling at a failed inspection.

These aren’t hypotheticals. They’re the regular calls we get from The Colony homeowners whose last contractor didn’t know the city.
