AfterCabinets & Countertops in Fort Worth, TX
Cabinet and countertop replacement in Fort Worth typically runs $12,000 to $38,000 for a full kitchen, with cabinets accounting for roughly 60 percent of that and countertops the remainder. Most projects take three to six weeks from tear-out to final walkthrough, depending on whether you’re doing a full replacement or a reface. Bradford Remodeling Co Fort Worth puts every dollar of that in writing before a single tool comes out, and every finished job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (682) 204-4897 for a written estimate, or read our Kitchen Remodeling overview first to see how cabinets and countertops fit the larger scope.
We install cabinets and countertops as a focused service for homeowners who know their layout works but the materials don’t. That’s a different job than full kitchen remodeling, and it deserves a different level of attention to detail. You keep the footprint. We replace what’s failing, worn, or dated, and we leave the site clean, the scope documented, and the written guarantee in your hand.

When You Need Cabinets & Countertops
Fort Worth homes run the full span from 1920s bungalows in Fairmount to 2010s builds in Walsh and Summer Creek. What they share is this: Texas heat and humidity cycles do a number on cabinet boxes, drawer glides, and laminate surfaces. Here’s what we see when homeowners call us:
- Drawer boxes falling apart. In older Fort Worth homes, especially pre-1990 builds in Wedgwood and Ridglea Hills, particleboard drawer bottoms sag and split. If drawers stick, rack, or dump their contents when you pull too hard, the boxes are done. New construction-grade plywood boxes solve it for decades.
- Delaminating laminate countertops. North Texas sees triple-digit heat every summer, and laminate edges near dishwashers and stoves peel under that heat and moisture. Once the substrate underneath is exposed, water gets in and the problem spreads.
- Water-damaged cabinet bases. The area under a kitchen sink takes abuse in any climate, but Fort Worth’s hard water makes slow leaks worse. Swollen cabinet floors, soft spots, and blackened corners mean the base cabinet is compromised and needs replacement, not patchwork.
- You’re selling, and the kitchen dates the house. In Fort Worth’s current market, a kitchen with orange-oak cabinets from the 90s and worn tile counters sits while comparables with white shaker and quartz move. A cabinet reface or measured replacement is one of the highest-return updates you can make before listing in neighborhoods like Arlington Heights or TCU-area homes.
- You’ve outgrown the layout, but not the room. Sometimes the cabinet boxes are fine but the storage strategy is wrong. Dead corners, blind base cabinets, no pull-outs. A targeted cabinet replacement or modification recaptures that space without touching walls or plumbing.
If any of that sounds familiar, call (682) 204-4897 and we’ll walk the job with you. The estimate is free and the number you get is the number you pay.
Our Cabinets & Countertops Process
We work under The Garrison Standard, which is the operating framework set by Garrison Partners and applied at every Bradford location. The short version: everything gets written down. Price, scope, materials, timeline, guarantee. No verbal handshakes, no “we’ll figure it out on site.” Here’s the sequence, step by step:
- Site visit and measurement. We come to your home, take field measurements, check cabinet box condition, verify countertop substrate, and note any issues with home structure that would affect the install. This is not a drive-by quote. We’re in your kitchen with a tape and a moisture meter where it matters.
- Written scope and material selection. You pick from a documented roster of brands including KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry and Cambria surfaces. We provide full specifications: door style, box material, hinge hardware, slab thickness, edge profile, finish. Everything goes into the written price. You sign it. That number does not move.
- Order confirmation and scheduling. Cabinets and slabs are ordered to spec. We schedule tear-out and installation around material lead times, which in Fort Worth run three to six weeks for custom or semi-custom lines. You’ll know the calendar dates before we start.
- Tear-out and prep. We remove existing cabinets and countertops, protect adjacent floors and surfaces, and inspect the rough-in for any surprises: out-of-level walls, plumbing that needs a valve replacement, electrical that’s not where the new layout needs it. We flag issues in writing with a fixed cost before proceeding.
- Installation. Cabinet boxes go in first, leveled and fastened. Countertops template, fabricate, and install after the boxes are set, which is the only reliable order. Seams are set, sinks and fixtures get connected, and we handle the final adjustments on doors and drawers.
- Closeout and written guarantee. We clean the site, run through the scope line by line with you, and hand over the signed 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the work fails inside the year, we come back and correct it. No charge. That’s not a tagline; it’s the written term of every Bradford job.
Cabinets & Countertops Pricing in Fort Worth
Here are the numbers as they run in Fort Worth right now, based on jobs we’ve completed across the city. These are installed prices including tear-out, haul-away, materials, and labor:
| Scope | Typical Range | What Drives the Price |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet refacing (doors, drawer fronts, veneer) | $7,000 – $14,000 | Cabinet count, door style, veneer species, hardware replacement |
| Cabinet-only replacement (stock / semi-custom) | $8,000 – $22,000 | Linear feet of cabinetry, plywood vs. particleboard boxes, soft-close hardware |
| Countertop-only replacement (quartz / granite) | $3,500 – $9,500 | Square footage, slab tier, edge profile, backsplash height, sink cutout |
| Full kitchen cabinet + countertop replacement | $12,000 – $38,000 | Combination of the above, plus plumbing and electrical adjustments |
What moves the number more than anything is box construction. Particleboard boxes cost less up front and don’t hold up to Fort Worth humidity cycles over a decade the way plywood does. We spec plywood boxes on most replacements because we’re the ones who have to stand behind the work for a year, and we’d rather install it once. That costs more on the front end and saves you the callback on the back end.
Countertop pricing depends heavily on the material. Cambria quartz runs toward the top of the range because it’s non-porous, consistent slab to slab, and carries its own manufacturer warranty on top of ours. Granite slabs vary by tier and pattern availability. If you’re trying to control cost, a mid-tier quartz with a simple eased edge and standard 2cm thickness is the value play in the Fort Worth market.
We don’t charge for estimates. You’ll get a written number that includes everything, with no allowances for “unforeseen conditions” unless we specifically identify a risk area during the site visit. If we find an issue after tear-out that could not have been seen, we put a written change order in your hand with a fixed price before we spend another dollar. That’s The Garrison Standard in practice. Call (682) 204-4897 for your number.
What We Install: Materials We’ll Put Our Name On
Bradford Remodeling doesn’t install whatever’s cheapest at the supplier that week. We work from a documented roster of manufacturers, which means you know exactly what’s going into your kitchen before the order goes in. KraftMaid cabinetry is our primary line for semi-custom configurations because the frame and hinge specs are consistent and the finish quality holds up. Wellborn comes in when a homeowner wants a different door profile or a paint finish KraftMaid doesn’t offer. On the surface side, Cambria quartz is our most common spec for countertops in Fort Worth due to its non-porous structure and full-slab pattern consistency. If you’re considering a kitchen island installation, we use the same material standards there.
We explain the trade terms as we use them. Substrate is the layer under your countertop that carries the slab. Soffit is the boxed area above wall cabinets that some Fort Worth kitchens have and some don’t; we’ll tell you if yours is load-bearing trim or just dead space. Rough-in refers to the plumbing and electrical stubs behind the cabinets that have to be in the right place before installation starts. You’ll hear these words on site. You’ll also get them explained in plain English so you never nod along wondering.
FAQs – Cabinets & Countertops
How much does cabinet replacement cost in Fort Worth?
Cabinet replacement in Fort Worth runs $8,000 to $22,000 for a typical kitchen, depending on cabinet count, box material, and door style. For a written price specific to your kitchen, call (682) 204-4897. The estimate is free and the number is guaranteed before work starts.
Can you replace my countertops without touching the cabinets?
Yes, if the cabinet boxes are structurally sound and level. We inspect the boxes first; if the substrate or cabinet tops have water damage, we’ll tell you and give you a written price for a combined replacement. Most Fort Worth kitchens from the last 20 years take a countertop-only replacement without issue.
Is it cheaper to reface cabinets or replace them?
Refacing runs $7,000 to $14,000 and is cheaper than full replacement when the boxes are fine and you’re only changing doors, drawer fronts, and veneer. If boxes are water-damaged or the kitchen design & layout is wrong, replacement is the better long-term call, usually $8,000 to $22,000.
Are you available for emergency cabinet or countertop repair in Fort Worth?
We handle urgent repairs, including water-damaged bases and broken countertop seams that are letting water through to the substrate below. A live person answers the phone 24/7 at (682) 204-4897. Severe water-damage cases get prioritized because every day the substrate stays wet, the repair footprint grows.
