Barrett & Sons Construction in Ohio
Barrett & Sons Construction brings owner-operated construction and remodeling to homeowners across Ohio as part of the Locally family. Since 1998, Tom Barrett and his sons have run every job from the truck with their name on it, pulling permits, using materials you can look up, and putting every price in writing before a single nail moves. Ohio homeowners who join the Locally family get the same straight-dealing approach that built this company over 29 years, backed by our trademark guarantee and Tom’s own 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Why Ohio Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons still run the crews. That matters in Ohio’s small towns and rural counties because the person who quotes your job is the person who shows up, and the person who shows up is going to see you again at the hardware store. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he’ll tell you to look them up before you sign anything.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract, not tucked in fine print. If something is not right, one call brings Tom back. No charge for that. He lives twenty minutes away from the communities he serves, not three states over with a call center.
Every permit gets pulled and every inspection gets signed on eligible work, because the last contractor most Ohio homeowners used told them permits were optional. Tom does not operate that way. Every scope, every allowance, and every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. The allowance that is not on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and Tom does not do surprises.
The materials carry names you can verify: 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. Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. The crew members are background-checked, uniformed, and carry the Barrett & Sons name. Ask anyone on your street.
Backed by the Locally Family
Locally began in 1997 when Ward Selby, a retired county extension agent, kept hearing the same story: out-of-state plates, a phone quote that tripled at the door, and a number that stopped working. He wrote down what a homeowner could verify in five minutes, a local address, an owner’s name and face, a license number you can look up, and a phone answered by a person who actually shows up. That list is still the entire standard. Barrett & Sons Construction meets it, and every job they do across Ohio carries the Locally guarantee: the price on the phone is the price on the invoice, and the person who answers is the person who arrives. The L.O.C.A.L. values code, Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal, is how we decide who carries our name. Tom Barrett and his sons live it. That is why they are here.
