AfterConstruction Services in Perris, CA
If you own a home in Perris, you’ve likely noticed the hairline cracks in your stucco or the driveway slab that’s begun to separate. That’s the expansive adobe clay under much of the city doing what it does, and it’s the reason we get calls from the 92570, 92571, and 92572 zip codes every week. Barrett & Sons Construction is owner-operated and local to the Inland Empire, with Tom Barrett and his sons running the crews themselves. If you need straight answers about a remodel, an addition, or a repair, call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a live person, not a call center.

Why Perris Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Perris homeowners tend to be done with surprises. Too many have hired a big-name outfit that quoted one number and then handed over a change order that looked like a ransom note. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 on a simple rule: every scope, every allowance, every price change goes on paper before a single nail moves. That’s why we publish Tom’s name, address, and license number right on our home page. Look it up. Then call and ask for him.
We work throughout May Ranch, the newer tracts off Evans Road, and the neighborhoods around Lake Perris. Homeowners there know our crews by name because Tom’s sons are on-site most days. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: if something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back to make it right.
Our Perris customers also appreciate that every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why we like him.
Construction Services We Offer in Perris
Kitchen Remodeling
Perris kitchens from the 2000s boom are hitting the age where cabinet boxes sag and layouts no longer work for how families cook today. We install named brands like KraftMaid and Cambria so you know exactly what’s going into your home.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Perris.
Bathroom Remodeling
Older Perris homes often have original bathrooms that were never updated for accessibility or water efficiency, and we handle the full scope from waterproofing to finish. Every change order is in writing before work proceeds.

Roofing
Summer heat above 108°F cooks asphalt shingles faster than most owners expect, and the 2000s-era roofs across Perris are now due for full replacement. We carry GAF and CertainTeed, and we pull permits on every reroof.

Windows & Doors
Drafty original windows are common in Perris tract homes, and the temperature swings here make that a real energy bill problem, not just a comfort issue. We install Andersen, Marvin, Simonton, and PGT, depending on the home and the budget.
Fence Installation
Moving soil in Perris shifts fence posts over time, so we set posts deeper and account for the clay expansion that causes leaning. A fence that’s level today should still be level after a wet winter.
Driveway & Pavers
Expansive clay means flatwork in Perris needs proper base prep or it will crack within a few seasons. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with the compaction and drainage detail this soil demands.
Home Additions & ADU
Riverside County’s ADU rules have made accessory units a practical option for Perris homeowners with the lot size to support one. We handle the full build, from foundation through finish, with permits and inspections signed throughout.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Perris
We work in neighborhoods all over Perris, from the established homes around downtown and the historic core to the newer subdivisions east of the 215 and south of Ramona Expressway. Our typical response for an estimate visit is same-week, and Tom or one of his sons will be the person you meet.

Why Perris’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Perris sits on expansive adobe clay that swells with winter rain and shrinks hard in the dry summer heat. That swell-shrink cycle is why so many slab-on-grade tract homes built here between 2000 and 2012 are now showing foundation cracks, stucco separation, and driveway settlement. Before those homes existed, the same geology shaped older rural and downtown structures that now need code-compliance work under Riverside County Building & Safety rules.
Add in summer temperatures that regularly pass 108°F, plus the I-215 logistics boom pulling concrete and steel crews into warehouse construction across the valley, and you have a market where permit timelines and framing availability are genuinely tighter than in neighboring cities. A homeowner planning an addition or a full remodel in Perris needs a contractor who understands how this soil moves and knows the local inspection schedule. That’s the work we do here.

Perris sits on expansive adobe clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and that movement pushes against slab edges and joints. Proper base prep, reinforcement, and drainage detailing make the difference between flatwork that lasts and flatwork that fails in a few seasons.
Not without a written change order you’ve signed first. If we open a wall in a 2000s-era Perris tract home and find something the original builder should have done differently, we’ll show you the scope and the cost in writing before any additional work happens. No surprises at the end.

What Perris Customers Say
"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."
- Genevieve Ashcombe"Full kitchen down to the studs. He found the previous owner had done the wiring himself and it was genuinely dangerous, showed me, and put it right properly rather than boxing it back in."
- Augustus Nwachukwu
