AfterConstruction Services in Cinco Ranch, TX
If you own a home in Cinco Ranch, you’re probably starting to see what we see on nearly every street here: brick veneer pulling away at the corners, slab cracks opening up after a dry summer, and window trim that swelled and warped after Harvey. Construction in Cinco Ranch isn’t like building in most of the Houston metro. The black clay soils under your foundation move more than concrete can handle, and the HOA’s architectural committee has opinions about everything that touches your exterior. Barrett & Sons Construction has been working through those exact conditions with homeowners across Cinco Ranch, and Tom Barrett answers his own phone at (877) 610-1318 when you need to talk.
Key Takeaways:
- Cinco Ranch construction requires soil-aware site prep and foundation-aware design, not cookie-cutter building approaches.
- HOA architectural control committee (ACC) pre-approval is mandatory for nearly every exterior project in Cinco Ranch.
- Barrett & Sons issues written change orders before any scope change touches the job, so there are no surprise invoices.
- Free estimates by phone at (877) 610-1318, with permanent senior and veteran discounts available.

Why Cinco Ranch Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
We’re the owner-operated, name-on-the-truck alternative to national outfits that quote one price on the phone and hand you a different bill at the door. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews you’ll see on your street. In neighborhoods like Cinco Ranch West and Equestrian Village, you’ll find our trucks parked outside homes where we’ve done kitchen remodels, roof replacements, and foundation-aware additions. Check the reviews from your neighbors, or look up Tom’s license number yourself. He publishes his name, his address, and his license on every estimate, because the permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly how we want it.
Every job we do in Cinco Ranch follows the same rules: scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. And when the job is done, you get the 90-Day Done Right Promise written on the contract, not buried in fine print. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, not a voicemail box, and not an out-of-state call center.
Construction Services We Offer in Cinco Ranch
Kitchen Remodeling in Cinco Ranch
We install KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens throughout Cinco Ranch, with every allowance written down before the first cabinet order goes in.

Bathroom Remodeling in Cinco Ranch
Bathroom remodels in Cinco Ranch’s post-tension slab homes require careful plumbing adjustments, since moving a drain line through a tensioned slab is not a casual task. We coordinate the plumbing, waterproofing, and finishes so you get a bathroom that works for the next 20 years, not just the next walkthrough.

Windows & Doors
Andersen and Marvin windows hold up better than the builder-grade units most Cinco Ranch homes got in the mid-2000s. If your sills show swelling or your double-panes have fogged, we’ll help you pick the right replacement and handle any HOA color and style requirements.
Tell us what you’re seeing on your windows and doors at (877) 610-1318.
Fence Installation
Cinco Ranch’s clay soil heaves fence posts out of plumb if the footing wasn’t set deep enough. We set posts below the shrink-swell zone, because a leaning fence on your side yard is usually a soil problem, not a lumber problem.
Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on fence work in Cinco Ranch.
Driveway & Pavers
We build driveways and hardscapes with Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers set on compacted, soil-stabilized bases that don’t crack apart when the clay shifts. In Cinco Ranch, your flatwork is only as good as what’s underneath it.
Ask us about paver options for your Cinco Ranch driveway at (877) 610-1318.
Home Additions & ADU
Any ground-level addition in Cinco Ranch has to account for flood maps, HOA ACC submittals, and foundation design that won’t add stress to your existing slab. We handle the full package, including updated drainage design and first-floor elevation compliance when the remapped flood zones require it.
Thinking about an addition or ADU in Cinco Ranch? Call (877) 610-1318 to talk it through.

Why Cinco Ranch’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Cinco Ranch was built almost entirely on Katy Prairie expansive black clay, and that fact defines nearly every construction decision here. Seasonal shrink-swell cycles crack slabs, brick veneer, and flatwork as the ground alternately dries into something like pottery and swells with stormwater. Most of the homes are brick-veneer, post-tension slab, two-story builds from 1995 to 2015, and they’re all entering their first major repair and renovation cycle now. Foundation cracks, failed mortar joints, and aging HardiePlank trim are the most common triggers for calls we get in Cinco Ranch.
On top of the soil, Hurricane Harvey’s 2017 flooding changed the rules. FEMA remapping reclassified many Cinco Ranch neighborhoods into higher-risk flood zones, so permitted construction now routinely requires first-floor elevation compliance and drainage design updates that builders in neighboring Katy suburbs haven’t had to adopt at the same scale. When we prep a site or design an addition here, we account for soil moisture management with French drains and grade corrections as standard practice, not an upsell. Those are the details that keep your slab intact and your HOA inspection clean.

FAQs About Construction in Cinco Ranch
Most kitchen remodels in Cinco Ranch land between $35,000 and $85,000, depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and whether you’re changing the layout. KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz run higher than builder-grade materials, but the price is locked in writing before we start, and every allowance is documented. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Yes, for almost any exterior work. Cinco Ranch’s HOA architectural control committees are among the most active in the Houston metro, requiring pre-approval submittals with materials specs and color palettes before any exterior construction or addition can break ground. Contractors who skip the ACC process cause their clients failed inspections and project delays. We handle the submittals and revisions as part of the job.
If your neighborhood was reclassified into a higher-risk flood zone after Harvey’s 2017 remapping, then yes, permitted construction may require first-floor elevation compliance and updated drainage design. We review your specific lot and flood zone before designing anything, so there are no surprises at permit review.
Your driveway is on expansive black clay that shrinks in dry summers and swells after rain, and flatwork without a soil-stabilized base will crack when the ground moves under it. In Cinco Ranch, we install pavers and flatwork on compacted, stabilized bases with proper grade corrections, because a driveway is only as good as what’s underneath it.
Not without a written change order that you sign first. Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, and every price change arrives on paper before work proceeds. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through it.

What Cinco Ranch 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."
- Augustus Nwachukwu
