Why Marco Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still puts his name, address, and license number on every contract. That matters on an island where word travels fast and the neighbor two doors down has already heard about your roof project before the permit dries. Homeowners in the Olde Marco and Tigertail Beach areas call us because our crew members are background-checked, uniformed, and led by Tom’s sons, not strangers dispatched from a call center. Every scope, allowance, and price change comes as a written change order before work starts, and every completed job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
We answer the phone 24/7, we offer free second opinions on any written estimate, and we don’t charge a trip fee inside the county. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.

Construction Services We Offer in Marco
Kitchen Remodeling
Marco kitchens built in the 1960s through 1980s often hide corroded rebar and spalling concrete behind the drywall, and those discoveries change scope fast. We install KraftMaid and Cambria, and every allowance is put on paper before the first cabinet is ordered. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Marco.
Bathroom Remodeling
Salt-laden moisture on a barrier island does real damage behind shower walls, especially in older Mackle-era CBS homes. We open walls, assess what’s actually there, and give you a written scope before demolition starts. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Marco.
Roofing
Marco sits in Collier County’s high-velocity hurricane zone, so roof work here means strapping, fasteners, and underlayment that meet wind-load codes the mainland doesn’t always require. We carry GAF and CertainTeed, and we pull the permit every time. Learn more about our Roofing in Marco.
Windows & Doors
Impact-rated windows and doors are not optional on Marco, and the right product depends on your structure’s elevation and exposure. We install Andersen, Marvin, PGT, and CGI, and we spec marine-grade hardware because salt spray eats standard fasteners here faster than you’d believe. Call us for a free estimate at (877) 610-1318.
Fence Installation
Fences on Marco need to handle sandy fill, salt air, and wind loads that turn a cheap post into a leaning hazard within two years. We set posts deep and use hardware that won’t rust through after a few Gulf seasons. Call us for a free estimate at (877) 610-1318.
Driveway & Pavers
Flat island drainage means your paver base and slope have to be right or water pools against your slab after every afternoon storm. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers on compacted bases built for Marco’s sandy soil. Call us for a free estimate at (877) 610-1318.
Home Additions & ADU
Additions on Marco trigger FEMA’s substantial-improvement thresholds, which can require elevating the entire structure if you’re not careful about how you scope the work. We coordinate with your elevation certificate and the Collier County building department before any plans get drawn. Call us for a free estimate at (877) 610-1318.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Marco
We work across all of Marco, from the canal-front homes in Olde Marco to the condos along Collier Boulevard and the single-family streets near Tigertail Beach and Hideaway Beach. Typical response time for a free estimate anywhere in the 34146 zip code is one to two business days, and we don’t charge a trip fee inside the county.

Why Marco’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Marco Island is a bridge-access-only Gulf barrier island, and that single fact shapes every construction decision here. Nearly every project falls within FEMA AE or VE flood zones, which means elevated foundations on pilings or stem walls and a hard look at substantial-improvement thresholds before any addition gets approved. The dominant housing stock is 1960s to 1980s Mackle Company-era CBS, concrete block and stucco homes and mid-rise condos, many with flat or low-slope roofs and original rebar that has absorbed decades of salt-laden moisture. That rebar corrodes, expands, and blows out the concrete from the inside, a condition called spalling or concrete cancer, and we see it on nearly every gut renovation in Marco. Waterfront canal homes, which make up a large share of the island’s properties, often need seawall coordination alongside any structural or addition work.
The climate compounds all of it. Constant salt spray from the Gulf attacks embedded steel, corrodes fasteners, and degrades stucco faster than inland Collier County sites by a wide margin. We spec marine-grade or hot-dipped galvanized hardware throughout, because standard fasteners fail here. The island sits barely above sea level, so site drainage, slab elevation, and soil compaction over sandy fill are persistent engineering challenges on every ground-up project. And because Marco has only two bridge entry points, material deliveries for large projects must be staged carefully. Wide loads, crane trucks, and concrete trucks all need early-morning scheduling to avoid single-lane bottlenecks, and there is no secondary route if a delivery runs long. Experienced local GCs build bridge-logistics clauses into their project timelines, and we do the same.
Pricing for Construction in Marco
Construction costs on Marco run higher than mainland Collier County, and the reasons are structural, not arbitrary. Flood-zone elevation requirements, high-velocity hurricane zone wind-load specs, marine-grade hardware, and bridge-delivery logistics all add cost per square foot. Here are honest ranges for common Marco projects:
- Kitchen remodel: $45,000-$95,000 depending on layout changes and material allowances.
- Bathroom remodel: $22,000-$55,000 depending on waterproofing scope and fixture tier.
- Roof replacement: $18,000-$48,000 depending on system type and wind-load requirements.
- Impact windows and doors: $28,000-$75,000 for a typical island home.
- Driveway and pavers: $14,000-$40,000 depending on area and base work over sandy fill.
- Home addition or ADU: $180-$420 per square foot, with FEMA elevation factors adding significantly.
Every estimate is free, and every allowance is written down before work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 for exact numbers on your project.

FAQs About Construction in Marco
A kitchen remodel in Marco typically runs $45,000 to $95,000, with the final number driven by flood-zone elevation factors, material allowances, and whether the existing CBS structure reveals concrete spalling that needs repair. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free, written estimate.
Only if the scope changes, and only in writing. Every allowance, every change order, and every price adjustment is put on paper and signed before any work proceeds. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Yes. Permits are pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why I like him. On an island with FEMA flood-zone rules and Collier County wind-load requirements, skipping permits is not a shortcut, it’s a liability.
Concrete spalling from decades of salt-laden moisture attacking the original rebar in Mackle Company-era CBS construction. Nearly every gut renovation in Marco exposes some degree of it, and it has to be addressed before finishes go in. Call (877) 610-1318 to have us take a look.
Yes. We offer a permanent 10% Senior & Veteran discount, plus $40 off any repair over $200 and free second opinions on any written estimate. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask us about it.

What Marco Customers Say
"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"His sons run the crews and they were in our house for four months. Not once did I feel I had to be home to keep an eye on things."
