Why Crestline Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and put his name on the truck. His sons run the crews. That’s not a slogan; it’s who shows up at your door. Homeowners in Lake Gregory and over near Cedar Pines Park have hired us for everything from Kitchen Remodeling - Crestline to full roof replacements, and they’ll tell you the same thing: the price we quote is the price on the contract, and every change comes in writing before it happens. We carry premium brands like GAF on roofs and Schluter in showers because we want the materials to be as dependable as the people installing them. Our reviews from Crestline residents reflect the same pattern: on time, on budget, no surprises. We answer the phone 24/7, not with a call center, but with someone who knows this company by name.
Construction Services We Offer in Crestline
Kitchen Remodeling
A Crestline kitchen remodel often means working with a 1960s cabin footprint and making it function for full-time living. We plan around snow-season delivery delays and order materials accordingly. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Crestline.
Bathroom Remodeling
Mountain bathrooms take a beating from hard water and freeze-thaw cycles, so we specify materials like Schluter waterproofing and Grohe fixtures that hold up. We pull permits on every bath job because plumbing changes in a cabin are rarely as simple as they look. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Crestline.
Roofing
Roofs in Crestline have to do two jobs at once: hold snow and resist embers. We install GAF Class A rated materials and build to snow-load requirements that flatland roofers have never had to meet. Learn more about our Roofing in Crestline.
Windows & Doors
Old cabin windows leak air and heat all winter long. We install Windows & Doors in Crestline using Andersen and Marvin products sized and flashed for mountain conditions, with ember-resistant screens where the fire code calls for them.
Fence Installation
Fences on sloped Crestline lots demand posts set below frost line and hardware that won’t rust out in wet, icy conditions. We build fences that stay plumb through hard winters.
Driveway & Pavers
Steep driveways and freeze-thaw cycling destroy flatwork done wrong. We use Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with base preparation designed for mountain drainage, not desert standards.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding onto a Crestline cabin means upgrading the existing structure to current seismic and snow-load codes while the addition goes up. We handle the engineering, the permits, and the inspection sign-off on every ADU and addition.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Crestline
We work throughout the 92325 zip code and know the quirks of each part of town. Typical response time for an estimate in Crestline is within a few days, and we coordinate access around winter weather when the roads get dicey.

Why Crestline’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Crestline sits at roughly 4,500 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains, and building here means honoring two opposing forces. Winter snow loads require structural engineering that flatland contractors never think about. At the same time, CAL FIRE’s High Fire Hazard Severity Zone rules demand Class A roofing, ember-resistant vents, and non-combustible siding materials. Most of the homes here started as summer cabins built in the 1940s through the 1960s, on pier-and-post foundations cut into steep lots. Converting one of those into a year-round home often surfaces framing that was never engineered for snow, insulation that barely existed, and seismic upgrades that are now mandatory. A contractor who only knows Riverside codes will get a rude awakening from the Crestline inspector. We know what triggers remediation before the first wall comes down.
There’s also the logistics that never show up on a national company’s spreadsheet. Material delivery up Highway 138 to steep, narrow roads off Lake Gregory Drive often requires smaller trucks or multiple trips. A framing crew can lose a full day in winter to road closures or icy site conditions, and a bid that doesn’t account for that is a bid that comes back with a change order later. We price for Crestline reality from the start, which is why our written change orders are rare and our clients aren’t surprised.

FAQs About Construction in Crestline
Most Crestline kitchen remodels run between $45,000 and $85,000. The range is wide because so many 1940s to 1960s cabins need structural, insulation, and seismic upgrades once the walls are opened. We give you a written line-item estimate so you see exactly where every dollar goes. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
Yes, and we pull them on every eligible job. Permit and inspection requirements in Crestline are strict because of snow-load and CAL FIRE fire-hardening codes. The permit inspector works for you, not for us; that’s why we like him. Any contractor who says permits are optional is putting you at risk.
Only if the scope changes, and only with a written change order you sign before any new work happens. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We don’t do surprise invoices.
It depends on the scope and the season. Winter weather can close roads and ice up sites, so we build realistic timelines that account for mountain conditions from the beginning. A typical kitchen or bath remodel runs six to twelve weeks. We’ll give you a written schedule with your estimate.
That’s most of what we do up here. Crestline’s housing stock is largely mid-20th-century seasonal cabins now being converted for full-time living, which means we’re regularly bringing aging structures up to current mountain codes for snow, seismic, and fire resistance. Ask anyone on your street, or look up Tom Barrett’s license number yourself.

What Crestline 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
