Barrett & Sons Construction in Georgia
Barrett & Sons Construction delivers honest, owner-operated construction across Georgia, from kitchen remodels and roof replacements to hardscape builds and window installations. Since 1998, Tom Barrett and his sons have run every job themselves, pulling permits, using premium materials you can look up, and backing it all with a 90-Day Done Right Promise. As part of the Locally family, every Georgia homeowner who calls gets a live person on the line, a written scope before work starts, and a contractor whose name, address, and license number are published for anyone to verify.
Why Georgia Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he has kept it owner-operated from day one. His sons run the crews, and Tom is on-site most days, not managing from an office across state lines. That matters in Georgia, where a lot of homeowners have already learned the hard way what happens when a national outfit quotes one price on the phone and hands you a different bill at the door. Tom does not work that way. He publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he tells every customer to look them up before signing anything.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract, not hidden in fine print. If something is not done right, one call brings Tom back. No runaround, no out-of-state call center, no “we will have someone in your area next week.” The same person who answers the phone at midnight is the person who shows up the next morning. And every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves, because Tom likes to say that “the allowance that is not on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.”
Barrett & Sons carries brands you can research yourself: KraftMaid and Cambria for kitchens, GAF and CertainTeed for roofs, Andersen and Marvin for windows, Belgard and Techo-Bloc for hardscapes. These are not mystery brands off a van. Permits get pulled and inspections get signed on every eligible job, because the last contractor a lot of Georgia homeowners used told them permits were optional, and they are not. Crew members are background-checked, uniformed, and carrying the Barrett & Sons name, not a temp agency badge.
Backed by the Locally Family
Locally started in 1997 when a retired county extension agent named Ward Selby got tired of hearing the same story: out-of-state trucks, phone quotes that tripled at the door, numbers that stopped working when something went wrong. He wrote down what a homeowner could verify in five minutes: a local phone number a person answers, an address you can drive to, the owner’s name and face, and a license number you can look up. Any company that publishes all four can carry the Locally name. That list is still the entire standard.
The L.O.C.A.L. values code still governs every company in the family: Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal. Barrett & Sons lives every one of them. Tom hires here, buys here, and sponsors the local team. He would rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket. And he is going to run into you again at the hardware store on a Saturday, which is the oldest accountability mechanism there is.
Every Barrett & Sons job across Georgia carries the Locally guarantee: the person who answers the phone is the person who shows up, and the price he says on the phone is the price on the invoice. No exceptions, no surprises.
