AfterConstruction Services in Rowlett, TX
Rowlett homeowners need a construction contractor who understands what this city has been through. The December 26, 2015 tornado didn’t just damage homes here. It reshaped entire neighborhoods, created a mix of original 1980s houses sitting next to 2016 rebuilds, and left thousands of families navigating insurance claims, code updates, and difficult decisions about repair versus rebuild. Barrett & Sons Construction has worked alongside Rowlett families through that recovery and everything since. We answer the phone at (877) 610-1318, we know the 75088 corridor from Dalrock Road to the lake, and we show up when we say we will.

Why Rowlett Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still runs it with his sons on-site most days. That matters in Rowlett, because the contractor you hire here isn’t just doing a kitchen or a roof. They’re often working on a home with a complicated history. A house that was fully rebuilt after the tornado, a 1989 brick ranch that never got touched, a lakefront property with FEMA flood-plain rules. We’ve worked in Waterview and along the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard, in Springfield Estates and the neighborhoods off Miller Road. Rowlett customers call us because Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look them up before you sign anything.
Every job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. Every price change arrives as a written change order before work starts. And every completed project carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Construction Services We Offer in Rowlett
Kitchen Remodeling
Rowlett kitchens range from original 1980s layouts in untouched homes to 2016 builder-grade spaces in tornado rebuilds. We plan around what’s actually behind your walls, and we install brands like KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria countertops. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Rowlett.
Bathroom Remodeling
Older Rowlett bathrooms often hide slab-penetration issues from decades of shifting clay soil. We address waterproofing and plumbing properly before tile goes in, so you don’t get a beautiful bathroom with a slow leak underneath it. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Rowlett.
Roofing
Rowlett roofs have been through hail seasons and the 2015 tornado, and many homes have a patchwork of shingle ages and styles from different repairs. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with full tear-off when needed, and we document every layer so your insurance claim is clean. Learn more about our Roofing in Rowlett.
Windows & Doors
Homes in Rowlett face western sun exposure and the occasional severe thunderstorm, which means window and door flashing has to be right. We carry Simonton and Ply Gem lines for Windows & Doors in Rowlett, and we replace rotted or poorly flashed openings the correct way, not just the fast way.
Fence Installation
Clay soil movement and wind events are hard on Rowlett fences. We set posts below frost depth and use materials that hold up through wet-dry cycles without pulling loose. Whether it’s privacy fencing for a backyard or a full perimeter replacement, we bid it in writing.
Driveway & Pavers
Concrete and paver work in Rowlett has to account for expansive clay that moves more than most people expect. We prep subgrade properly and install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with edge restraint systems that survive North Texas weather.
Home Additions & ADUs
Adding square footage in Rowlett means navigating two different permitting offices depending on your ZIP code, since Dallas County and Rockwall County split jurisdiction across the 75089 ZIP. We pull permits for every addition and coordinate inspections so the project doesn’t stall over paperwork.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Rowlett
We work throughout Rowlett, and our crews are typically on-site within a few days of your call for an estimate. Neighborhoods we regularly serve:
- Waterview
- Springfield Estates
- Lake Ray Hubbard shoreline communities
- Dalrock Road corridor (75088)
- Miller Road area
Why Rowlett’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Rowlett sits on Blackland Prairie clay that shrinks in drought and swells after heavy rain. That means foundation movement is a fact of life here, and any renovation or addition has to be planned around it. We routinely see homes built in the mid-1980s with original post-tension slabs that have held up well, while above-grade framing shows the stress of decades of movement. When we open walls in Rowlett, we plan for what the soil has been doing to the house for 30 years, not just what the homeowner wants the finished space to look like.
The tornado-rebuilt blocks create another wrinkle. In neighborhoods along the 75088 corridor near Dalrock Road, you’ll find a 2016 code-built home next to a 1988 original. That means different framing, different electrical runs, different insulation. A contractor who doesn’t know Rowlett can’t tell by looking which one they’re working on. We can.

What Rowlett 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."
