AfterConstruction Services in Pecan Grove, TX
If you own a home in Pecan Grove, you already know the two words that shape every renovation decision here: Brazos River. Whether you bought before Harvey or after, construction in Pecan Grove means working with Fort Bend County permits, expansive Beaumont clay, and floodplain rules that out-of-town contractors routinely misjudge. We answer our own phone at (877) 610-1318, we know the difference between a slab-on-grade original and a post-Harvey elevated rebuild, and we’ll give you a straight answer about scope before you spend a dime.
Tom Barrett runs Barrett & Sons Construction the way he has since 1998: his name is on the truck, his sons run the crews, and every change order lands on paper before a nail moves. If you’re tired of national outfits that quote one number and bill another, you’re in the right place.

Why Pecan Grove Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Pecan Grove Plantation has its own rhythm. Homes along Plantation Drive and the loops off Pitts Road range from original 1980s brick-veneer ranchers to elevated rebuilds that went up after 2017. We’ve worked both, and we know which questions to ask before quoting: Was this house flood-cut and rebuilt? Did the previous owner pull Fort Bend County permits? Is the foundation on original slab or piers?
Those questions matter because the answer changes everything about pricing, framing, and material choice. A crew that shows up assuming a standard slab-and-drywall job will miss what a Pecan Grove homeowner needs. We live in this work. Tom Barrett publishes his name, address, and license number, and if you want to look us up before you sign, you should. A contractor who doesn’t welcome that is telling you something.
We’ve done work throughout 77407, from the larger lots along Pecan Grove Drive to the quieter streets near the golf course. The home we stand behind is our own reputation in Fort Bend County, not a franchise training manual.
Construction Services We Offer in Pecan Grove
Kitchen Remodeling
A Pecan Grove kitchen on an original 1980s floor plan usually means dated layout, slab movement cracks in tile, and cabinets that have swelled through too many humid summers. We scope the job around what’s actually there, then install brands you can look up, like KraftMaid and Cambria. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Pecan Grove.
Bathroom Remodeling
Post-Harvey bathroom rebuilds in Pecan Grove often hide shortcuts: shower pans set without proper flood-resistant backing, vents that never got reconnected, waterproofing that was skipped to hit an insurance timeline. We open walls, document what we find, and put the fix in writing before we proceed. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Pecan Grove.
Roofing
Fort Bend County wind and hail mean Pecan Grove roofs age faster than the national average. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems rated for Gulf Coast storms, and we pull the re-roof permit through the county, not around it. Learn more about our Roofing in Pecan Grove.
Windows & Doors
Original single-pane windows in Pecan Grove bleed cool air every August and let humidity sit against framing all year. Andersen and Marvin Windows & Doors in Pecan Grove pay for themselves in comfort before they pay for themselves on resale. We measure, order, flash, and seal the opening the way the manufacturer intends.
Fence Installation
Beaumont clay expands and contracts under fence posts in Pecan Grove, and we set posts below the shrink-swell zone so gates still latch in 2027. Concrete footings, galvanized hardware, and a straight line that holds up to Brazos Valley wind.
Driveway & Pavers
We build driveways and patios with Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers on compacted, graded bases that account for this soil’s movement. In Pecan Grove, a paver base that isn’t engineered for expansive clay will telegraph every crack within three seasons. We do it once, correctly.
Home Additions & ADU
Kitchen Remodeling - Pecan Grove projects and additions mean navigating Fort Bend County’s floodplain rules and impervious-cover limits before the first framing inspection. We handle the county and Drainage District paperwork, and we keep every elevation and detention decision on the written plan you approve. No surprises at the final invoice.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Pecan Grove
We work across Pecan Grove, and we know the streets well enough to park the truck without blocking a neighbor’s mail. Typical response time for a call-back or a visit inside the neighborhood is same-day or next-day, depending on when you call.

Why Pecan Grove’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Pecan Grove sits directly along the Brazos River floodplain in unincorporated Fort Bend County, and Hurricane Harvey flooded thousands of homes here in 2017. That single fact reshapes how any honest contractor approaches construction in this community. Post-flood reconstruction, base flood elevation compliance, and flood-resistant materials are not optional add-ons; they’re the baseline. A contractor who treats Pecan Grove like any other Houston suburb will miss the permit path entirely: everything runs through Fort Bend County, and many projects also need Fort Bend County Drainage District sign-off on detention and grading plans. That’s a two-agency approval route that can add weeks if nobody anticipates it at the bid stage.
The soil adds a second layer. Houston-area Beaumont clay is highly expansive, and the Brazos River’s documented flood cycles mean Pecan Grove ground is always moving: shrinking in droughts, swelling after rain. Our Roofing in Pecan Grove and foundation engineering here are not places to save money. We scope every addition, paver job, and structural repair with that shrink-swell reality in mind, then put the allowances in writing so you know exactly what the ground conditions will cost before we ever turn dirt.
Pricing for Construction in Pecan Grove
Honest numbers help you plan, so here’s what we tell neighbors over the phone before we ever schedule a walkthrough:
- Kitchen remodeling: most Pecan Grove kitchens land between $45,000 and $95,000 depending on layout changes, cabinet grade, and countertop choice.
- Bathroom remodeling: $22,000 to $48,000 for a full gut-and-rebuild, with flood-resistant backer and proper ventilation included.
- Roof replacement: $14,000 to $28,000 on the typical 2,200 to 3,400 square foot Pecan Grove home, material-dependent.
- Windows & doors: $900 to $2,400 per opening installed, depending on size, style, and brand.
- Driveway & pavers: $18 to $34 per square foot installed, including the engineered base this soil requires.
- Home additions & ADU: $180 to $320 per square foot, with county permits, Drainage District review, and foundation engineering included in the written scope.
Those are planning ranges, not quotes. A real quote comes out after we walk the property, check the county records, and lay out the scope in writing. And every change from that scope comes to you as a written change order before it touches the job. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

FAQs About Construction in Pecan Grove
Yes. Pecan Grove is unincorporated, so there’s no city hall to walk into; permits run through Fort Bend County, and some projects require Fort Bend County Drainage District sign-off on grading and detention. We pull every permit and schedule every inspection, because the permit inspector works for you, not for me. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your project, and we’ll tell you exactly which approvals apply.
We’ve rebuilt and repaired many post-Harvey homes in Pecan Grove, and we know what flood recovery scopes look like: flood cuts, dried framing, evidence of previous shortcuts, and elevation requirements if the house is being substantially improved. We will document existing conditions before we quote, and we’ll flag any county compliance issue the last contractor left behind. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free walkthrough and a written quote.
Only if the scope changes, and only with your signature on a written change order first. Barrett & Sons doesn’t bump prices mid-job. We write every scope, allowance, and change order on paper before a single nail moves.

Most full kitchen remodels in Pecan Grove run 6 to 10 weeks from demo to final walkthrough, assuming county permit approval and no hidden structural surprises. Bathroom Remodeling - Pecan Grove follows a similar timeline. Additions and ADUs run longer because Fort Bend County and Drainage District reviews add calendar time that no contractor can compress. We’ll put a start and a finish date in your contract, and we’ll tell you if anything changes the schedule before it changes.

What Pecan Grove Customers Say
"The bathroom was finished on the day he said at the start, which nobody had led me to believe was possible."
- Loretta Vanterpool"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
