How We Price Construction Work

Every job at Barrett & Sons gets its own written estimate – a full, line-item price for your specific project, confirmed before anyone picks up a tool. No hourly rate ticking in the background, no membership to join, nothing to sign up for. Just a number in writing, specific to your house and your job.

That matters because construction work is not a commodity. A kitchen remodel in a 1970s ranch house is not the same job as one in a new build, even if the cabinets are identical. When you see the whole price before work starts – and that price doesn’t move unless you change the scope, in writing, before the change happens – you can make a real decision. That is the only way Tom Barrett has ever priced a job, going back to 1998.

What a Visit Actually Costs You to Find Out

Nothing. The estimate visit is free, it costs you nothing to say no at the end, and nobody is going to pressure you to sign the same afternoon.

Here is what happens: someone from Barrett & Sons comes out, walks the job with you, takes measurements, asks questions, and listens to what you actually want. You get a written estimate with the scope spelled out – materials, labor, what’s included, what isn’t. Most visits run an hour, sometimes less. At the end, the paper is yours to keep. If you want to think it over, think it over. If you want a second opinion, we actually encourage that – it’s one of the standing offers on this page.

When People Usually Call Us

Construction work tends to come up in two situations: something failed, or you’ve been thinking about it for a while and the season finally feels right.

Roof calls come in after the first hard rain of fall, when a ceiling stain reappears in a spot the last guy swore he fixed. Window calls come in when heating bills arrive in January and the draft around the frame finally gets intolerable. Kitchen and bathroom remodels tend to get planned in winter and started in spring, when the weather opens up and the schedule clears.

Home additions and ADUs are almost always planned work – families thinking about a parent moving in, or a grown kid who needs a place that isn’t the basement. Those calls start with a lot of questions before they become a project, and that’s exactly the right way to do it.

None of that changes how we price the work. Whether you’re calling because a tree branch took out a fence panel last night or because you’ve been planning a kitchen remodel since Christmas, the job gets a free written estimate before anyone starts.

What You Can Expect From Us Either Way

These things apply to every job, offer or no offer:

• Written upfront pricing. The estimate is the price. Every scope change, every allowance, every material substitution comes to you as a written change order before the work happens. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises.
• Permits pulled, inspections signed. On every eligible job. The last contractor a lot of our customers used told them permits were optional. They aren’t, and Tom Barrett has never pretended otherwise.
• The 90-Day Done Right Promise. Written on every construction and remodeling contract. If something isn’t right in the first ninety days, one call brings Tom back. Not a crew you’ve never met – Tom.
• Background-checked, uniformed crew. Every person who comes to your house carries the Barrett & Sons name and has been background-checked. Tom’s sons run the crews. On most days, Tom is on site himself.
• A live person answers the phone, around the clock. Not a voicemail box. Not a call center. A real person who can answer a real question.
• Tom’s name, address, and license number are published. Look them up before you sign anything. That is not a boast – it is a basic standard that more contractors should meet.

Barrett & Sons has operated this way since 1998, and the L.O.C.A.L. values that drive the company aren’t a marketing exercise: Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal. They show up in how the jobs actually run, not just in how they’re described on a page.

Common Questions

Is the estimate really free?

Yes – no trip charge, no consultation fee, no obligation to proceed. You get a full written estimate with line-item pricing, and you can say no at any point. If your project falls inside our county, there’s no trip charge at all, and that’s a standing offer on this page. Call (877) 610-1318 to set one up.

Do you offer financing or a monthly payment plan?

No, and that’s deliberate. Every job is priced job-by-job off a free written estimate – one number, in writing, before work starts. No interest rates, no payment schedules, nothing to sign up for beyond the job itself. If you want to know what your project costs, the free estimate is the answer.

Can I combine two of the offers on this page?

One offer per household per visit – they don’t stack. If you’re not sure which one applies best to your project, ask when you call and whoever picks up will walk you through it. Call (877) 610-1318 for a straight answer.

Does the price change once work starts?

The written estimate is the price. If we open a wall and find something that genuinely changes the scope – rotted framing, outdated wiring that code requires us to address – we stop, write up the change, and get your sign-off before touching it. No surprise invoice at the end. That is how it has worked at Barrett & Sons since Tom started this company in 1998, and it is not going to change.

Get Your Free Estimate

Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person will answer – not a voicemail, not a callback queue. Or book online if that’s easier. Either way, you’ll get a free written estimate, the full price for your specific job, before anyone starts work. No pressure, no obligation, and no hourly clock running while we figure it out together.
