Barrett & Sons Construction in Texas

Barrett & Sons Construction in Texas

Barrett & Sons Construction delivers honest, owner-operated construction across Texas, from kitchen remodels and roof replacements to full custom builds and outdoor living spaces. Founded in 1998 by Tom Barrett, this is a company where the owner’s sons run the crews, every permit gets pulled, and every price change arrives in writing before a single nail moves. As part of the Locally family, Barrett & Sons carries our guarantee: the owner’s name, a Texas address you can drive to, and a license number you can look up before you ever pick up the phone. Tom publishes all three, and he answers his own line.

Why Texas Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction

Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 with his sons in mind, not a growth plan. Twenty-nine years later, those sons are running the crews, and Tom is still on-site most days. That matters in Texas, where a lot of trucks carry names that aren’t in the phone book and crews that won’t be back next season. When you hire Barrett & Sons, you’re getting the Barrett family, and Tom’s cell number goes on the contract.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every job, not tucked into fine print where you need a magnifier. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. No charge for that. He’s twenty minutes away, not three counties over, and he’s going to run into you again at the hardware store, which is the oldest accountability mechanism there is.

Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and Tom doesn’t do surprises. Permits get pulled and inspections get signed on every eligible job, because the last contractor a lot of Texas homeowners used told them permits were optional. They weren’t, and Tom will show you the signed card.

The materials are brands you can look up, not mystery stock off a van: KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens, GAF and CertainTeed on roofs, Andersen and Marvin on windows, Belgard and Techo-Bloc on hardscapes. Background-checked crew members carry the Barrett & Sons name, uniformed on every visit. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7, not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. Ask anyone on your street who’s used them.

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 plates, phone quotes that tripled at the door, numbers that stopped working. 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. Barrett & Sons Construction meets every item on that list. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his Texas address, and his license number. 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. That’s the Locally promise, stamped on every Barrett & Sons job across Texas.
