AfterConstruction Services in Carrollton, TX
If you own a home in Carrollton that’s crossed the 30-year mark, you’re probably looking at a list of projects that’s grown longer than a grocery receipt. Kitchen counters that looked fresh in 1994, a master bath with the original single vanity, maybe a roof that’s taken one too many hail seasons. Barrett & Sons Construction handles all of it, from the first structural assessment to the final inspection sign-off, with crews that work Carrollton neighborhoods every week. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person answers – not a voicemail, not a call center.

Why Carrollton Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run crews on Carrollton jobs today. That’s not a marketing line. When you call the office, you reach someone who knows which Carrollton subdivision you’re talking about when you say “the one with the big water tower off Hebron.” We’ve remodeled kitchens in the 75006 ranch-style homes south of Belt Line and replaced roofs in the 75010 subdivisions near Castle Hills. Homeowners in Carrollton keep our number because the price we put in writing is the price you pay at the end – every scope change arrives on paper as a written change order before a single nail moves.
Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up. Then look up the last contractor who told you permits were “optional” on a kitchen remodel. The difference usually settles the decision. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible Carrollton job. That’s not a favor we do – it’s how the work gets verified.
Construction Services We Offer in Carrollton
We’re a full-service construction company, which means you don’t juggle four different contractors for one remodel. From the home page you can see how we work, but here’s what Carrollton residents call us for most often:
Kitchen Remodeling
Carrollton kitchens in the southern ZIP codes often need load-bearing wall work before the fun part starts – moving plumbing, reconfiguring layouts, upgrading panels. We install KraftMaid and Cambria, materials you can research yourself. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Carrollton.
Bathroom Remodeling
Older Carrollton homes frequently have one bathroom built for a 1968 family, not a 2026 one. We handle full gut renovations, shower conversions, and the water damage that North Texas humidity and those 2021 freeze pipes left behind. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Carrollton.
Roofing
Carrollton sits in hail alley, and we can tell you what every insurance adjuster will look for. GAF and CertainTeed shingles, ridge vents, and full tear-offs are standard for us. Learn more about our Roofing in Carrollton.
Windows & Doors
Triple-digit July afternoons in Carrollton find every air leak in a house. We replace windows and exterior doors with Andersen and Marvin products, and we fix the seal failures that fog up between the panes.
Fence Installation
Cedar privacy fences, gate replacements, and the occasional “the neighbor’s oak tree came through our fence” situation. Carrollton lots vary from tight 1960s footprints to bigger Castle Hills yards, and we build for both.
Driveway & Pavers
Expansive clay in Carrollton cracks driveways over time. We do full driveway replacements and paver patios with Belgard and Techo-Bloc products, and we fix the drainage problems that caused the cracking in the first place.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Carrollton requires foundation work before framing – that Blackland Prairie clay doesn’t care about your floor plan. We handle the engineering, the permits, and the build.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Carrollton
Our crews work throughout Carrollton, and since dispatch comes from the Dallas-Fort Worth office, we don’t make you wait for a crew that has to drive across the metroplex. Typical response for estimates in Carrollton is within one business day.

Why Carrollton’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Carrollton’s construction market splits in two directions, and we work both sides of it every month. The southern ZIP 75006 is dense with 1960s and 1970s slab-on-grade tract homes now well past the 50-year mark, sitting on Blackland Prairie expansive clay that has spent decades heaving and cracking those foundations. The northern ZIPs 75007 and 75010 carry 1980s and 1990s brick-veneer subdivisions now hitting their first full renovation cycle. A Carrollton contractor has to be fluent in structural remediation on aging homes and cosmetic-to-systems remodels on mid-era housing – often on jobs just miles apart. The older southern homes frequently require load-bearing wall reconfiguration, outdated electrical panel upgrades, and slab stabilization before any cosmetic work can begin.
And then there’s the weather. The 2021 Winter Storm Uri exposed widespread damage to exterior sheathing, pipe chases, and insulation in Carrollton homes built before modern freeze-resilience standards. After that week, we replaced more freeze-split supply lines in one spring than in the previous five years combined. If your Carrollton home had frozen pipes then and you patched it instead of replacing it, we should probably talk before next winter.

FAQs About Construction in Carrollton
Yes. Every eligible job in Carrollton includes permits pulled and inspections signed. Old Town Carrollton’s designated historic district around Belt Line and Denton Drive adds an architectural review layer that out-of-area builders often miss, which can delay a project by weeks. We know the process and build the approval timeline into your schedule before work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your project requires.
Kitchen remodels in Carrollton typically run $28,000 to $65,000, with older 75006 homes often pushing higher because of panel upgrades and wall reconfiguration. The price depends on whether you’re keeping the existing footprint or opening walls, and which materials you choose. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate with line-by-line pricing.
Not without your signature. Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every surprise discovered behind a wall arrives as a written change order before any work proceeds. What we find behind 1960s Carrollton drywall can change the scope, but it never changes the bill without you seeing it on paper first.
Yes. Carrollton sits on Blackland Prairie expansive clay, and that soil moves seasonally as it absorbs and releases moisture between North Texas droughts and storm seasons. Before any significant addition or remodel, we assess slab movement and address stabilization first. It’s not optional work – it’s what keeps new tile from cracking six months after the remodel.
A full kitchen remodel runs six to ten weeks. A primary bath runs three to six. Roofs are three to five days. Historic district projects in Old Town Carrollton add a few weeks for architectural review. We give you a written schedule with the estimate, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise covers everything after the final walkthrough.

What Carrollton Customers Say
"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"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
