Construction

When you need construction work done, you need someone who answers their own phone and shows up with their own name on the truck. Barrett & Sons Construction has been that kind of company since 1998. Tom Barrett and his sons pull every permit, write every price change before the work starts, and back it all with a 90-Day Done Right Promise you can read in plain English on every contract. One call brings Tom back. That’s the Locally way.

What’s Included

Barrett & Sons handles the full range of residential construction and remodeling, from emergency repairs to complete rebuilds. Here’s what we do most often for homeowners in our area.

Kitchen Remodeling

We design and build kitchens with KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz surfaces, materials you can research before you sign anything. Tom Barrett measures every space himself, and every allowance, from plumbing fixtures to electrical rough-in, lands on paper before demolition day. No mystery brands, no allowance surprises at final invoice.

Bathroom Renovations

Full gut renovations to accessible walk-in conversions, we handle plumbing relocation, waterproofing, tile, and fixture installation in house. Our crew is background-checked and uniformed on every visit, and Tom pulls permits for every bathroom job that requires one. The price we quote is the price you pay unless you request a change, and then you get it in writing first.

Roofing Installation and Repair

We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, brands with real warranties you can verify. In our climate, proper underlayment and ventilation matter as much as the shingles themselves, and Tom specs both on every job. Storm damage assessments include photo documentation for your adjuster, and we coordinate directly with insurance when you ask us to.

Window and Door Replacement

Andersen and Marvin windows, professionally measured and installed to manufacturer spec so the warranty stays intact. We do not subcontract the installation to day laborers; the Barrett crew handles removal, flashing, trim, and cleanup. You’ll see the same faces on day one and day last.

Deck, Patio, and Hardscape Construction

Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers, retaining walls, and outdoor living spaces built to local frost-depth and drainage codes. Tom grew up in this county and knows which neighborhoods hold water in spring and which dry out and shift. That local knowledge shows up in how we grade and base every hardscape job.

Room Additions and Whole-Home Renovations

When you need more space or a complete reconfiguration, we handle structural engineering, foundation ties, electrical service upgrades, and HVAC balancing as a single scope. One contract, one timeline, one person to call when you have a question. Tom answers his own phone, even during dinner.

Emergency Structural Repairs

Storm damage, vehicle impact, or sudden failure, we assess fast and stabilize before more damage spreads. We document everything with photos for insurance and provide a written scope before any permanent repair begins. Speed on mitigation, precision on the rebuild.

Why Homeowners Choose the Locally Family

Locally started with a complaint, not a business plan. In 1997 a retired county extension agent named Ward Selby kept hearing the same story from neighbors: somebody had called a number off a listing, a truck with out-of-state plates had shown up, the quote at the door was three times the quote on the phone, and by the time anything went wrong the number had stopped working. What bothered him was not that the companies were bad. It was that there was no way to tell the real ones from the rest before you let them into your house. So he wrote down what a homeowner could actually verify in five minutes: a phone number with the local area code that 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 would publish all four could carry his name.

Barrett & Sons Construction met that standard in 1998 and still meets it today. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he invites you to look them up before you sign anything. His sons run the crews, and he is on-site most days himself. The phone is answered by a live person, 24 hours a day, not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract in plain sight, not buried in fine print. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call brings him back.

We hire here, we buy here, and we sponsor the team here. The L.O.C.A.L. values code is not decoration. Local roots means an address in this county, not a call center three states away. On time means the window we give you is the window, and we call if it slips. Community first means the money stays here. Accountable means the owner answers the phone and puts his name on the work. Loyal means we would rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket. Tom lives twenty minutes from most of his customers. Ask anyone on your street.
