AfterConstruction Services in Parkway, CA
If your Parkway home was built between 1965 and 1985, you already know the drill: slab cracks in summer, sticky doors in winter, and a roof that takes a beating from 105°F heat followed by weeks of rain. We work throughout the 95823 zip code fixing exactly these issues. Barrett & Sons Construction is owner-operated by Tom Barrett, and his sons run the crews. One call to (877) 610-1318 gets the free estimate process started, usually within a day or two.
We’re not a franchise. We answer our own phone. And when a Parkway homeowner calls about a cracked slab or Kitchen Remodeling - Parkway they’ve wanted to do since the kids moved out, we show up ready to talk honestly about what it’ll take.

Why Parkway Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Parkway sits in an unusual spot: it’s unincorporated Sacramento County, not part of the City of Sacramento. That single fact changes how permits get pulled, how inspections get scheduled, and how long a project takes from first hammer swing to final sign-off. We’ve worked enough jobs in 95823 to know the county’s Building Inspection Division well, and we plan for county timelines from day one.
Homeowners near the Cosumnes River corridor and around the older tract blocks west of Highway 99 call us because Tom Barrett puts his name, his address, and his license number on every contract. You can look it up before signing anything. And every job comes with the 90-Day Done Right Promise written plainly across the top: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
Our crew members are background-checked and uniformed on every visit. You’ll see familiar faces, most of them Tom’s sons and their teams. If you live near Elk Grove Florin Road or down by the Franklin Boulevard stretch, don’t be surprised if you bump into one of us at the hardware store on Saturday. That’s how we like it.
Construction Services We Offer in Parkway
Kitchen Remodeling
We install KraftMaid and Cambria surfaces in Parkway homes regularly, and we know what 1970s tract layouts need to feel open without moving load-bearing walls unnecessarily. Written change orders before any scope change means no surprise invoices at the end.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Parkway.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling - Parkway projects often start when we find water damage behind original fiberglass surrounds and failing grout in these aging tract homes. We open walls only after the scope is in writing, then build back with proper waterproofing and ventilation that stands up to Sacramento Valley humidity swings.

Roofing
Our Roofing in Parkway handles a brutal cycle: 100°F-plus summers baking asphalt shingles, then winter storms off the Cosumnes. We work with GAF and CertainTeed materials, and we pull permits and schedule county inspections on every reroof.

Windows & Doors
Original single-pane aluminum Windows & Doors in Parkway homes leak conditioned air all summer. We install Andersen and Marvin units sized correctly for post-1965 ranch openings, with trim details that don’t look like an afterthought.
Fence Installation
Clay soil moves, and fences feel it. We set posts below frost and movement depth where Parkway’s expansive soils are worst, and we use redwood or cedar rather than whatever’s cheapest on a pallet at the big-box store.
Driveway & Pavers
Expansive clay under Parkway slabs means compaction and drainage base matter more than the paver color. We use Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers on properly prepared subgrades, with grading set to move water away from foundations during winter storms.
Home Additions & ADU
Additions in unincorporated Sacramento County require county plan checks, not City of Sacramento approval. We handle the full permit package and know what county reviewers flag on 1970s slab-on-grade lots in 95823.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Parkway
We cover all of Parkway’s 95823 zip code, including homes off Elk Grove Florin Road, properties near the Franklin Boulevard corridor, and the blocks closest to the Cosumnes River’s southern edge. Typical scheduling for a free estimate runs a day or two, never a week of waiting.

Why Parkway’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Parkway sits on Sacramento Valley expansive clay, the kind that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That’s why so many 1970s and 1980s slab foundations here show hairline cracks by the garage door and why interior doors stick in August. Any addition, patio, or paver project in 95823 has to account for soil movement, or the new work will separate from the old within a few seasons. We compact subgrades, specify the right rebar for slabs, and call out drainage grading on every quote.
Summers here regularly pass 105°F, which bakes roofing underlayment and dries out stucco exteriors faster than coastal California. Then winter brings sustained rain and occasional Cosumnes River flooding at the southern tip of 95823. That wet-dry cycle is why we recommend asphalt shingle grades rated for sustained heat and why we inspect exterior stucco and flatwork before quoting any remodel. Parkway’s unique county jurisdiction also means every project needs Sacramento County permits and inspections, not City of Sacramento paperwork. Out-of-area crews often miss that fact in their estimates. We don’t.

What Parkway Customers Say
"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."
- Camila Fuentes"Beautiful work and honest pricing throughout. The project ran about three weeks past the estimate waiting on the cabinets, which was the supplier rather than him, though the delay was still real."
