AfterConstruction Services in Boulder City, NV
When you need construction work done in Boulder City, the first question isn’t usually “who’s cheapest.” It’s “who actually knows what they’re doing with these houses, and will they show up when they say they will?” The homes here sit inside one of the only federally planned historic towns in the West, and that changes how a project gets priced, permitted, and built. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we work in Boulder City regularly. If you call (877) 610-1318, you’ll get Tom or one of his sons on the line, not a call center. We’re familiar with the local permitting process, the Historic District rules, and the way Boulder City’s elevation and sun exposure wear on a house faster than most people expect.

Why Boulder City Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Our reputation in Boulder City is built on something simple: Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look us up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. The crews running jobs in the 89005 and 89006 zip codes are Tom’s sons and background-checked, uniformed crew members who carry the Barrett & Sons name. They’re not subcontractors hired off a job board, and they’re not dispatched strangers. When something isn’t right, we live close enough that Tom wants to hear about it. That’s what the 90-Day Done Right Promise is for. It’s written on every contract: if the work isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right.
Homeowners in the Historic District and out near the newer subdivisions alike call us because we put every scope, every allowance, and every price change in writing before a single nail moves. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we pull permits on every eligible job. That’s a real difference maker in Boulder City, where partial remodels and unpermitted additions from decades past surface more often than you’d think.
Construction Services We Offer in Boulder City
Kitchen Remodeling
Boulder City kitchens in the old Bureau of Reclamation bungalows are often tight, with original plumbing and electrical that have outlived their useful life. We plan around the home’s bones, not against them, and install brands like KraftMaid and Cambria that you can look up yourself.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Boulder City.
Bathroom Remodeling
Period homes here frequently have one small bathroom with cast iron drains and walls that hide surprises. We write up what we find, put the change order in front of you, and proceed only after you approve it in writing.

Roofing
At roughly 2,500 feet elevation, Boulder City roofs take more UV and thermal cycling than most of the Las Vegas valley. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems chosen for how they hold up under a Mojave sun that never lets up.
Learn more about our Roofing in Boulder City.
Windows & Doors
If your home sits in the Historic District, window replacement may require review by the Historic Preservation Commission. We help homeowners navigate that process and source period-compatible options from Andersen and Marvin that pass review.
Learn more about our Windows & Doors in Boulder City.
Fence Installation
Boulder City lots run the gamut from compact historic parcels to roomy ranch-style properties. We install fences that respect property lines, HOA rules where they apply, and the winds that whip through the Eldorado Valley.
Learn more about our Fence Installation in Boulder City.
Driveway & Pavers
Concrete and pavers here face serious expansion and contraction stress from hot days and occasional hard winter freezes. We build driveways and paver surfaces with that movement in mind, using brands like Belgard and Techo-Bloc.
Learn more about our Driveway & Pavers in Boulder City.
Home Additions & ADU
Boulder City’s growth ordinance keeps new tract development scarce, so many homeowners add square footage instead of moving. We plan additions that fit the character of the existing home, and we handle the permitting and inspections from start to finish.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Boulder City
We work across Boulder City, from the original Historic District core near Arizona Street and Nevada Way, to the ranch homes along Adams Boulevard, to the properties surrounding the Boulder Creek Golf Club area.

Why Boulder City’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Boulder City sits at roughly 2,500 feet in the Mojave Desert. That elevation is a bigger deal than people think. Intense UV radiation and daily thermal cycling degrade exterior stucco, roofing materials, and sealants faster than they would at lower elevations. In the winter, Boulder City occasionally gets hard freezes that Las Vegas proper rarely sees, and that puts real stress on concrete slabs and masonry. Contractors working here have to account for expansion and contraction in ways a Henderson crew working at 1,500 feet might not deal with as often.
Then there’s the housing stock itself. The historic core contains small 1930s Mission Revival and Craftsman bungalows built by the Bureau of Reclamation to house Hoover Dam workers. Those homes have period masonry, original wood framing, and aging utility infrastructure. Outside the Historic District, mid-century ranch homes and limited post-1970s infill dominate. When we open up walls in the old bungalows, we find things a modern builder never installed. Planning for that is part of the job.
Pricing for Construction in Boulder City
Pricing in Boulder City varies by project scope and whether the home falls inside the Historic District. Exterior work on historic properties often costs more because of materials review and HPC approval timelines. Typical starting ranges we see:
- Bathroom remodeling: roughly $15,000 to $45,000, depending on plumbing relocations and fixture selections.
- Kitchen remodeling: generally $25,000 to $70,000, driven by cabinet brand, countertop material, and appliance movement.
- Roof replacement: commonly $9,000 to $22,000 across Boulder City, with historic or complex rooflines at the higher end.
- Paver driveway installation: typically $12 to $28 per square foot, including base prep and drainage work.
- Fence installation: most projects land between $2,800 and $9,000, depending on material and linear footage.
Every estimate is free, and every price change comes as a written change order before work proceeds. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

FAQs About Construction in Boulder City
Most kitchen remodels in Boulder City run between $25,000 and $70,000, depending on whether you’re keeping the original layout or moving plumbing and appliances. Historic District homes often land on the higher end because wall openings and structural work require more careful planning and additional review. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
If your home is inside the Boulder City Historic District, exterior modifications such as window replacements, roofing materials, and additions generally require review by the Historic Preservation Commission. This applies even to work that wouldn’t need special approval in Henderson or Las Vegas. We help homeowners prepare submittals and source period-compatible materials that pass review.
Only if the scope changes, and only if you approve that change in writing first. We do not hand you a surprise invoice at the end. Any adjustment comes as a written change order before we proceed, and you sign off on it. That’s how Tom has run Barrett & Sons since 1998. If you’re comparing bids, ask each contractor whether they commit to written change orders. The answer tells you a lot. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Yes. We pull permits on every eligible job and the inspections get signed before we call the project done. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way. If a contractor tells you permits are optional in Boulder City, walk away and call us instead at (877) 610-1318.
A bathroom remodel typically runs two to four weeks. A kitchen runs four to eight weeks. Projects in the Historic District can take longer due to HPC review timelines, which vary depending on when your submittal lands on the calendar. We’ll give you a written schedule and keep you updated if anything shifts. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your timeline. The estimate is free.
If you’re ready to get a straight answer on pricing, call Tom and his sons at (877) 610-1318. We answer the phone, we show up, and we put everything in writing. From the home page you can learn more about how we work, or just pick up the phone and ask us directly.

What Boulder City Customers Say
"He pulled every permit and had every inspection signed off. The last contractor we used told us permits were optional and I have been paying for that ever since."
- Redmond Cavanaugh"Genuinely good builders and I would use them again. Site tidiness slipped a bit in the middle stretch and I had to mention it, after which it was spotless every evening."
- Marcus Threadgill"Every change to the price came as a written change order before the work happened, not as a surprise on the final bill. I did not know contractors still did that."
