Why Four Corners Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Four Corners sits in unincorporated Fort Bend County. That’s not a footnote; it’s the first thing we check on every job. A contractor who assumes he’s pulling City of Houston permits online is going to stall out at the first inspection. We don’t make that mistake because we’ve been working in this ZIP long enough to know the difference, and we handle the county portal from day one.
Homeowners in neighborhoods like Mission Bend South and the subdivisions along Bellaire Boulevard call us because they’ve already been burned once. They hired a company that quoted one number on the phone and showed up with a different number on a clipboard. That doesn’t happen with Barrett & Sons. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. We encourage it. And when the scope changes mid-job, you get a written change order before a single nail moves. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises.
We also carry the brands you can verify. Simonton windows, Ply Gem siding, PGT impact-rated products where flood zones demand them. Not mystery materials off a van. And we back every job with the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not buried in fine print. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Construction Services We Offer in Four Corners
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen Remodeling in Four Corners usually means working around a post-tension slab, which limits where you can safely relocate plumbing without a structural review. We handle that with the county engineer, pull the permit, and build with KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria countertops so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Bathroom Remodeling
Older tract homes in 77083 often need Bathroom Remodeling - Four Corners specialists because of cast-iron drain lines and vinyl flooring that’s seen better days. We gut it clean, address any slab-level plumbing issues, and rebuild with materials that hold up to Gulf Coast humidity.

Roofing
Four Corners Roofing takes a beating from summer heat and spring storms, and post-Harvey FEMA map changes mean your reroof may trigger elevation compliance questions. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems and coordinate with Fort Bend County inspections so you’re not left holding a stop-work order.

Windows & Doors
We install Windows & Doors in Four Corners with Andersen, Marvin, Simonton, and PGT products, sized and flashed for Houston’s wind-driven rain. If your door frames are racking, that’s often slab movement underneath, and we’ll tell you before we quote the replacement.

Fence Installation
Fence posts in black clay don’t just sit there; they move with the soil through wet-dry cycles. We set posts deep and use materials rated for ground contact, and we’ll pull the county fence permit if your project requires one.
Driveway & Pavers
Concrete driveways on expansive clay crack if the base isn’t prepared right. We pour with proper reinforcement and control joints, and for hardscapes we use Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with a compacted base that tolerates soil movement.
Home Additions & ADU
Fort Bend County has its own rules for accessory structures, setbacks, and FEMA elevation requirements depending on your flood zone. We’ve built additions and ADUs in Four Corners that passed inspection the first time because the permit was right from the start.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Four Corners

Why Four Corners’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Four Corners sits on Houston’s Beaumont black clay, and that clay is the reason so many 77083 homes show cracked brick and door frames that won’t close square. The soil swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it’s dry, and over 30 or 40 years, that movement takes a toll on slabs, driveways, and fence lines. When we quote a remodel here, we’re looking at what the foundation is doing before we touch the walls. Sometimes the fix is simple; sometimes it means calling in a structural engineer before the county will even accept the permit application.
Water is the other constant. Parts of Four Corners fall within FEMA-designated flood zones near Brays Bayou tributaries, and since Hurricane Harvey in 2017, the flood maps have changed. Substantial improvements and additions often have to meet higher finished-floor elevations than the original house. If your contractor doesn’t know that, you’ll find out at the inspection. We’d rather tell you at the estimate.
Pricing for Construction in Four Corners
Construction pricing in Four Corners runs a little higher than inside Houston city limits, mostly because Fort Bend County permits and inspections add a layer of coordination and a different fee schedule. What you’re paying for is accountability in writing: a scope that’s written down, allowances that are written down, and change orders that are written down before any work happens.
- Smaller repairs and fence work: typically $1,200-$4,500 depending on materials and post depth.
- Kitchen or bath remodel: $18,000-$55,000 for a full gut and rebuild with named brands.
- Roof replacement: $9,000-$18,000, with elevation or flood-zone upgrades adding to the top end.
- Driveway and paver work: $4,000-$14,000 for typical suburban lots in 77083.
- Additions and ADUs: $60,000 and up depending on foundation, flood elevation, and finish level.

FAQs About Construction in Four Corners
Yes. Four Corners is in unincorporated Fort Bend County, not the City of Houston, so permit applications and inspection scheduling go through Fort Bend County’s separate system. We pull permits on every eligible job and handle the county portal so you don’t have to. Call (877) 610-1318 to confirm what your specific project requires.
A full kitchen remodel in 77083 typically runs $18,000 to $55,000 depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and whether you’re moving plumbing on a post-tension slab. We’ll give you a written, line-item estimate before any work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote.
Not without your signature. If the scope changes mid-job, you get a written change order with the new price before any new work begins. No allowance is spent that isn’t on paper first. That’s the Barrett & Sons rule.
Yes. Post-Harvey FEMA map revisions changed finished-floor elevation rules for many Four Corners properties near Brays Bayou tributaries, and we factor that into your estimate before you spend a dollar. If your project triggers an elevation review, we’ll walk you through the engineering and county approval process.
A kitchen or bath remodel usually runs 4 to 8 weeks depending on scope and county inspection scheduling. Additions and ADUs take longer, often 3 to 6 months with foundation work and flood elevation approvals. We’ll give you a written timeline with your estimate.

What Four Corners Customers Say
"His sons run the crews and they were in our house for four months. Not once did I feel I had to be home to keep an eye on things."
- Camila Fuentes"Beautiful work and honest pricing throughout. The project ran about three weeks past the estimate waiting on the cabinets, which was the supplier rather than him, though the delay was still real."
- Genevieve Ashcombe"Full kitchen down to the studs. He found the previous owner had done the wiring himself and it was genuinely dangerous, showed me, and put it right properly rather than boxing it back in."
