Why Camarillo Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still works the job sites with his sons. That matters in Camarillo because this is a town where people check up on each other. We’ve worked on homes along Las Posas Road and up in the Camarillo Heights neighborhoods, and our reputation there was built one finished job at a time. You can look up Tom’s name, address, and license number before you sign anything. You should. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we pull permits on every eligible job because the last contractor most customers used told them permits were optional.
Every Barrett & Sons crew member is background-checked and wears our name on their uniform. Our contract carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. No fine print, no arguing. We also publish four standing offers: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount.
Construction Services We Offer in Camarillo
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen Remodeling in Camarillo for 1970s through 1990s tract homes often starts with the original footprint and plumbing, so our work begins with a frank conversation about what’s behind the drywall. We install KraftMaid and Cambria, and the allowance for every cabinet, counter, and fixture gets written down before we demo anything.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Camarillo.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling in Camarillo means working with small spaces in older tracts, and we’ve rebuilt enough of them to know where the rot hides. Schluter waterproofing systems are standard on our shower builds, and we install Grohe and Sterling fixtures you can actually find parts for years later.

Roofing
Camarillo Roofing has to account for marine-layer moisture, which means flashing and fasteners corrode faster here than in drier Simi Valley, so we spec GAF roofing systems with that in mind. If you live in a WUI-designated area near the Las Posas Hills, Class A roofing and ember-resistant vents are part of the conversation, and those requirements add real cost.

Windows & Doors
Original aluminum windows in Camarillo tract homes leak air and fog up, and Windows & Doors in Camarillo aren’t always best solved with the cheapest vinyl from a big-box store. We carry Andersen and Marvin, and we’ll tell you honestly when a mid-grade window gets you 90% of the performance for 60% of the price.
Fence Installation
Ventura County wind and the Oxnard Plain’s clay soil mean fence posts here need deeper footings than most contractors bother with. We set posts below the shrink-swell zone so your gate still swings true in August.
Driveway & Pavers
Post-tension slabs under many Camarillo homes don’t extend to the driveway, which is why driveways here settle and crack more than the house does. We pour on compacted base and install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with edge restraint that actually holds.
Home Additions & ADU
Camarillo’s tract lots are larger than you’d get in Oxnard, and a well-planned ADU can turn a side yard into real income or housing for family. We handle the grading, the structure, and the permit package, and the inspector signs off before you write the final check.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Camarillo
Our crews work all over Camarillo, from the flat, established tracts near Mission Oaks to the hillside lots above Las Posas Road. Typical response time for an estimate appointment in Camarillo is one to two business days, depending on the season.

Why Camarillo’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Camarillo sits on the Oxnard Plain, and the ground under most of this town is expansive clay that shrinks and swells with every wet winter and dry summer. That’s not a footnote. The large wave of tract homes built between the late 1960s and the 1990s, concentrated along corridors like Las Posas Road and the 101, went up on post-tension slabs specifically to fight that movement. Those post-tension cables have a service life of roughly 40 to 50 years. A lot of Camarillo homes are crossing that line right now, which is why foundation repair, re-leveling, and slab remediation show up far more often in our Camarillo work than they do in Thousand Oaks or Simi Valley, where the decomposed granite underneath behaves itself.
Then there’s the marine layer. Camarillo ranks among the foggiest cities in Southern California, and that persistent moisture accelerates corrosion on exposed metal connectors, fasteners, and flashing. Contractors who work the drier Conejo Valley get surprised here. We don’t. Morning fog also regularly pushes exterior finish work and concrete pours back a few hours during the May through September overcast season, and we build that into our schedules instead of promising dates we can’t keep.
If your home sits up in the Las Posas Hills or near the eastern edge of town by SR-34, you’re likely inside Ventura County’s Wildland-Urban Interface overlay. That triggers ignition-resistant construction requirements: Class A roofing, ember-resistant vents, non-combustible fascia. Those add material cost and inspection steps that homes a mile away in the flats never face, and any honest Camarillo construction estimate has to account for the difference.
What to Look For in a Camarillo Contractor
Most Camarillo homeowners shopping for construction have already been burned once. They called a big national outfit, got a price over the phone, and watched it balloon when a stranger in a van showed up. So here’s what we tell people to check before they hire anyone in this town.
Is the price in writing, or is it a guess?
An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Ask any Camarillo contractor to put every scope item, every allowance, and every change order in writing before work begins. If they won’t, that’s your answer. Barrett & Sons has done it that way since 1998, and a price change never touches your job without a written change order first.
Who is going to show up at my door?
Tom Barrett’s sons run our crews, and Tom is on-site most days. You will not get a rotating cast of subcontractors who don’t answer to anyone. Ask any contractor you’re considering who, by name, will be on your job site on Tuesday morning. If they can’t tell you, walk.
Will they pull permits, or talk you out of them?
The permit inspector works for you, not for the contractor. That’s why we like him. Every eligible Barrett & Sons job in Camarillo includes permits pulled and inspections signed, because the last contractor most customers used told them permits were optional. They’re not, and in a WUI zone, skipping them can void your insurance.
Pricing for Construction in Camarillo
Camarillo construction pricing tracks with the rest of coastal Ventura County, which means it runs higher than inland markets. You’ll pay for skilled labor and for materials that hold up under fog and marine air. Honest ranges here, in 2026 dollars:
- Kitchen remodel: $25,000 to $60,000, with tract-home galley kitchens at the lower end and full gut renovations at the top.
- Bathroom remodel: $14,000 to $38,000, depending on whether you move plumbing and whether we’re rebuilding a rotten subfloor.
- Roof replacement: $12,000 to $22,000 for a standard tract home, higher in WUI zones with Class A materials.
- Windows and doors: $700 to $1,900 per opening installed, depending on brand and whether we’re replacing rotted framing around it.
- Fence installation: $35 to $75 per linear foot, including deeper post footings for clay soil.
- Driveway and pavers: $15 to $28 per square foot installed.
- Home additions and ADU: $350 to $550 per square foot, depending on site access and grading.

FAQs About Construction in Camarillo
A kitchen remodel in Camarillo typically costs between $25,000 and $60,000, depending on the age of your tract home, whether plumbing moves, and which cabinet and counter brands you choose. Homes from the 1970s through 1990s often hide galvanized supply lines and original wiring behind the walls, and that work has to be part of the number. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote on your kitchen – estimates are free.
Yes, a home addition in Camarillo requires a building permit from the City of Camarillo, and if you’re in the WUI overlay near the Las Posas Hills or SR-34, the plan check includes ignition-resistant construction review. Barrett & Sons pulls permits on every eligible job and stands there while the inspector signs off. Skipping the permit isn’t saving money; it’s a lien risk and an insurance void.
Many Camarillo homes built between the late 1960s and the 1990s sit on post-tension slabs designed for the Oxnard Plain’s expansive clay, and those cables have a service life of about 40 to 50 years. When they start to fail, you’ll see slab cracks, sticky doors, and uneven floors. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll send Tom out to look – a free second opinion on any written estimate is one of our published offers.
Most Camarillo roof replacements take two to four days once materials arrive, but the marine layer can push that out. Morning fog during the May through September overcast season often delays starts by a few hours, and a roof in a WUI zone adds inspection steps. We’ll give you a written schedule with weather built in, and we’ll tell you if the fog is going to move it.
Yes, every Barrett & Sons estimate in Camarillo is free, and there’s no trip charge inside the county. We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate from another contractor, and we publish a standing $40 off any repair over $200. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours – a live person answers 24/7.

- 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
