If you’re looking for a construction contractor in Agoura Hills, here’s the straight answer on how Barrett & Sons works: we pull permits on every eligible job, every price change lands in a written change order before work begins, and every finished project carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. Tom Barrett has run this company since 1998, and his sons lead the crews you’ll see on your street. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person answers, any hour, any day.
Agoura Hills isn’t a town where you can afford to guess with a contractor. The fire zone requirements alone are enough to sink a project that got a handshake quote from someone who doesn’t know Chapter 7A. That’s the ground we work on, and we’d rather have you know the difference up front.

Why Agoura Hills Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
The short version is that we put our name, address, and license number in writing and invite you to look us up before you sign anything. No mystery brands off a van. No out-of-state call center. Tom lives locally and answers his own phone more often than not. When something needs attention, one call brings him back – that’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract.
We’ve worked throughout the Las Virgenes Valley, from the hillside lots above Agoura Road to the neighborhoods off Kanan Road and the streets tucked against the Santa Monica Mountains. Crew members are background-checked and uniformed, and the same people you meet at the estimate are the ones who show up on the job. If you want to check us out, ask someone you know or pull the license number yourself. We’ll wait.

Roofing
Agoura Hills Roofing has to account for a serious wind corridor, which changes how a roof gets fastened and flashed. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems built for uplift conditions that flat-valley roofs never see, and every roof meets Class A fire standards the Chapter 7A code requires.

Windows & Doors
Windows & Doors in Agoura Hills aren’t an upsell; multi-pane glazing is code in the fire zone. We install Andersen and Marvin, plus impact-rated options from PGT and CGI where the exposure calls for it.

Fence Installation
From privacy fences on canyon-edge lots to post-and-rail along Oak Park-adjacent properties, we set posts deep enough to handle the wind that funnels through the Simi Hills gap. Permits get pulled when the county requires them.

Driveway & Pavers
Expansive clay soils under much of Agoura Hills mean a driveway base has to be prepared correctly or it will shift within a couple of seasons. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers over properly compacted, drainage-corrected subgrades.

Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in the hillside portions of Agoura Hills usually means LA County geotechnical review and caisson or deepened footings, not just slab-on-grade. We know how to sequence that work so your timeline and budget reflect reality from day one.

Why Agoura Hills’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Agoura Hills is not a flat, forgiving building site. The city sits in a natural wind gap between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Simi Hills, and every Santa Ana event funnels through it. The 2018 Woolsey Fire used that same corridor, which is why so much of the construction here now has to meet California’s Chapter 7A fire-hardening standards: ember-resistant vents, ignition-resistant exterior cladding, multi-pane glazing, and Class A roofing. Those are minimums in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, not premium add-ons. A contractor who treats them as upsells is going to fail plan-check, and you’ll pay for the delay.
There’s also a practical split in the housing stock. A large share of Agoura Hills homes were built in the 1970s through 1990s as hillside and canyon-edge tract housing, much of it with Spanish tile roofs and original windows that don’t meet current fire code. Post-Woolsey rebuilds, which are still coming through permits, are built to today’s standards. That leaves many homeowners with legacy houses that need fire-hardening retrofits alongside newer construction, and the contractor you hire needs to be fluent in both. Add in the expansive clay soils on graded hillside pads, and even a modest room addition can trigger a geotechnical report and caisson footings. That’s not a scare tactic. It’s the reality of building in Agoura Hills, and it’s why we put every scope and allowance in writing before you commit.
Pricing for Construction in Agoura Hills
Construction here costs what it costs because the conditions are real and the code is strict. For planning purposes in Agoura Hills, kitchen remodels typically run from about $45,000 to $95,000 or more depending on finish level, baths from $25,000 to $55,000, and a standard roof replacement from $14,000 to $30,000 or more for Class A fire-rated shingles with code-compliant underlayment. Additions and ADUs vary too widely to quote meaningfully without walking the lot.
We don’t hand you a number and change it later. Every allowance is written, and any change triggers a written change order before work continues. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come look at the actual site for a free estimate.

Yes. Agoura Hills is in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and new construction plus some remodels must meet Chapter 7A standards, which include ember-resistant vents, ignition-resistant cladding, multi-pane glazing, and Class A roofing. We plan for those requirements in every roofing and exterior project so plan-check doesn’t bounce back.
Not without your written approval. If a change is needed, you get a written change order with the new price before any work proceeds. No surprise invoices at the end. That’s how Barrett & Sons has worked since 1998.
It depends on the lot, but hillside additions in Agoura Hills often need geotechnical review and deepened footings, which adds time that flat-lot additions don’t have. We’ll give you a realistic schedule before you commit, not a promise we can’t keep. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the site together.

- Rosalie Pemberton"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."
