AfterConstruction Services in Wellington, FL
Most construction calls we get in Wellington start the same way: a homeowner has a scope in mind, a budget on paper, and a bad taste from the last contractor who quoted one number and delivered another. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we answer our own phone at (877) 610-1318. Wellington isn’t a market we pass through. It’s a community where our crew members know which HOA gates take longer at certain hours and which neighborhoods sit on the highest water table. If you’re planning a kitchen remodel, a roof replacement, or a barn addition before the winter season hits, call us. We’ll lay out what it costs, in writing, before any work begins.

Why Wellington Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not a slogan; it means the person who signs your contract has the same last name as the person swinging the hammer. Homeowners in The Villages of Windsor and Palm Beach Polo tell us the same thing after jobs wrap: nobody held a change order over their head, and nobody showed up with materials they hadn’t approved. Every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why we like him on site. If something isn’t done right after we leave, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back. No arbitration clause. No fine print. Look up our license number yourself; Tom publishes his name, address, and license number for exactly that reason.
Construction Services We Offer in Wellington
Kitchen Remodeling
A Kitchen Remodeling in Wellington project usually means updating a CBS home that was built with good bones but tired layouts. We install KraftMaid and Cambria surfaces, and we price the job with a written allowance sheet so you know exactly what the materials cost before demo day.

Bathroom Remodeling
Wellington’s slab-on-grade homes make Bathroom Remodeling in Wellington a plumbing conversation before a design conversation. We work with Schluter waterproofing systems and Grohe fixtures, and we account for the humidity and groundwater realities that come with building on former Everglades flatlands.

Roofing
Palm Beach County code demands 170+ mph design wind speeds, which changes everything about our Roofing in Wellington process from tear-off to finish. We install GAF roofing systems with engineered strapping and impact-rated openings, and we front-load tear-offs into the May through November window when Wellington quiets down.

Windows & Doors
Windows & Doors - Wellington are not an upgrade; they’re the code, and they’re the difference between a house that weathers a storm and one that doesn’t. We carry Andersen and Marvin lines, and we schedule window replacements around the off-season when disruption hurts less.
Fence Installation
Wellington’s equestrian-zoned parcels need fencing that holds up to horses, heat, and hurricane straps, not the thin panels you see at big box stores. We build with pressure-treated posts and hardware designed for South Florida soil and drainage patterns.
Driveway & Pavers
Pavers in Wellington sit on a high water table, which means the base preparation matters more than the paver itself. We use Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers over a properly compacted sub-base, with drainage planned so your driveway doesn’t become a wading pool in August.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Wellington means pulling permits through Palm Beach County and working around setback rules that differ between the village’s residential neighborhoods and its western equestrian parcels. We frame additions and detached ADUs with the same written change-order discipline as every other job we run.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Wellington
We work throughout the 33414 ZIP code, and most calls get the same answer: Tom or one of his sons will be out within a day or two to look at the scope. Wellington is a planned community with specific patterns. Here are a few of the neighborhoods we know well:
- The Villages of Windsor – estate homes hitting their first major renovation cycles
- Palm Beach Polo – equestrian-zoned parcels with barns and accessory structures
- Olympia – family homes with pool and lanai additions in the mix
- Buena Vida – established ranch-style CBS homes with mature landscaping
- Binks Forest – larger lots where additions and ADUs are common requests
Why Wellington’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Wellington sits on former Everglades flatlands, and that single fact shapes nearly every below-grade decision we make. The water table routinely sits 18-24 inches below grade, so a footer dig or a pool excavation isn’t a simple matter of moving dirt. It’s a groundwater management problem. Post-Andrew and post-2004/2005 hurricane code upgrades mean all new construction and significant renovations must meet Palm Beach County’s 170+ mph design wind-speed requirements. That means engineered roof-to-wall strapping, impact-rated openings, and inspection timelines that add cost and time to any job, whether it’s a kitchen gut or a barn addition. The residential stock here is dominated by CBS slab-on-grade homes built from the 1980s through early 2000s, and many of them are now hitting their first major renovation cycles for roofs, windows, and electrical panels. We plan around that.
What makes Wellington genuinely unique, though, is the equestrian season. No neighboring Palm Beach County city generates the volume of specialized construction projects like climate-controlled competition barns, regulation sand-and-rubber riding arenas, and irrigated paddock drainage systems. Construction timelines here are dictated by “the season,” which runs January through April. That’s when wealthy international horse owners occupy their estates and don’t want to hear a roofing tear-off or see staging equipment from their arena. Veteran Wellington contractors front-load disruptive work into the May through November off-season. Schedule the same roofing job for February and you’ll almost certainly conflict with a client who flew in from Argentina or Belgium for the Winter Equestrian Festival. We plan jobs around that reality, not against it.

FAQs About Construction in Wellington
A full kitchen remodel in Wellington typically ranges from $42,000 to $92,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether the scope stays within the existing footprint. Slab-on-grade homes sometimes add plumbing relocation costs that a wood-framed house wouldn’t carry. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written line-item estimate, not a ballpark that shifts later.
No, not without a written change order that you approve first. If a scope change is necessary – say, the footer dig hits the water table earlier than expected and needs different drainage work – you’ll get the new price on paper before we proceed. No surprises at the end.
Yes. Every eligible job in Wellington gets permits pulled and inspections signed through Palm Beach County. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why we want him on site. A contractor who says permits are optional is telling you whose interests he’s protecting.
Most tear-offs and replacements run three to five working days, weather permitting, and we recommend scheduling between May and November. During the winter equestrian season, Wellington gets busy enough that HOA gates, material deliveries, and client expectations all move slower. We’ll give you a start date and a finish window in writing before we strip the first shingle.
We do. There’s a permanent 10% Senior & Veteran discount, $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and no trip charge inside Palm Beach County. Call (877) 610-1318 and mention which one applies to you.

What Wellington Customers Say
"Came back a year later to sort a door that had dropped as the frame settled. No charge and no argument about whether it was covered."
- Thaddeus Oyelowo"Addition over the garage matched the original roofline and brickwork so closely that visitors do not realise it was added. He tracked down the closest brick he could find rather than settling."
- Gideon Stroud"The bathroom was finished on the day he said at the start, which nobody had led me to believe was possible."
- Loretta Vanterpool
