Why Highland Village Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Homeowners in neighborhoods like Castlewood and the Hills have a recurring complaint about construction companies: the price quoted on the phone isn’t the price on the invoice. That’s the problem we built this company to avoid. Every scope change at Barrett & Sons comes as a written change order before work proceeds. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t date surprises.
Beyond pricing honesty, Highland Village residents tell us they value a contractor whose name is verifiable. Tom Barrett publishes his name, address, and license number. Look it up before you sign anything. We also carry a 90-Day Done Right Promise on every contract: if something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. That’s not a marketing line. It’s written on the page you sign.

A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail box, not a call center in another state. When you call, you get us.
Construction Services We Offer in Highland Village
Kitchen Remodeling
A kitchen remodel in Highland Village often means reconfiguring a layout built in the 1990s, when kitchen design paid less attention to islands and open sightlines. We install premium brands like KraftMaid and Cambria, and every cabinet, counter, and layout decision gets priced in writing before demo day. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Highland Village.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathrooms in this city’s 25-to-40-year-old homes frequently conceal water damage behind shower surrounds that looked fine from the outside. We waterproof with Schluter and install fixtures like Grohe and Sterling, and we pull permits on every eligible job so the inspector signs off before you write the final check. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Highland Village.
Roofing
Highland Village sees hail, high winds, and punishing summer heat, all of which take years off a roof’s lifespan. We install GAF roofing systems with manufacturer-backed warranties, and we inspect every deck before the first shingle goes down so you’re not paying to roof over rotten wood. Learn more about our Roofing in Highland Village.
Windows & Doors
Windows & Doors in Highland Village replacements are often as much about energy cost as curb appeal. Summer afternoons above 100°F punish old single-pane units, and we carry Andersen and Marvin lines that hold up to North Texas heat. Every order includes a written scope before the sashes are ever removed.
Fence Installation
Fence work in Highland Village runs into two local realities: expansive clay soil that moves posts, and HOA rules that dictate materials and height. We handle both. Posts are set below the movement zone, and we check your HOA’s written requirements before we order a single board.
Driveway & Pavers
Driveways and paver projects in this city need to account for slab movement on black clay and, for lakeside homes, potential Corps of Engineers setback requirements near the shoreline. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc hardscapes, and we engineer the base so the surface doesn’t heave in wet winters and crack in summer droughts.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Highland Village means engineering a foundation that won’t move independently of the existing slab. That’s a bigger deal here than in most places, because North Texas Vertisol clay expands and contracts with the seasons. Every addition we build starts with a soils analysis and a plan the inspector actually approves.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Highland Village
Our crews know Highland Village’s streets because we work them regularly. We serve homeowners throughout the 75077 ZIP code, and typical response time for an estimate is within a day or two depending on schedule, not a three-week window.

Why Highland Village’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Highland Village sits on the southern shore of Lake Lewisville, and that fact shapes nearly every major construction decision here. A meaningful share of residential properties falls within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ project boundary. That means lakeside additions, grading, retaining walls, and anything near the shoreline may require COE setback compliance, which measures 75 feet from the 522-foot flood pool elevation, plus FEMA floodplain permitting layered on top of standard Denton County approvals. Contractors who don’t catch this before breaking ground can stall a project for months. We identify these boundary issues in the estimating phase, not after the permit is half-processed.
The housing stock compounds the pressure. Most Highland Village homes were built between the 1980s and early 2000s as brick-veneer over wood framing, on slab-on-grade foundations, within HOA-governed streetscapes. Those homes are now hitting the 25-to-40-year mark all at once. That means a concentrated wave of high-end remodels, room additions, and full gut renovations across the city, in a market that’s largely built out and no longer adding new ground-up construction. When we tell a Highland Village homeowner their project is a remodel not a rebuild, they understand. They’ve seen the subdivision maps.
Pricing for Construction in Highland Village
Every project is different, but here are honest starting ranges for work in this city’s market. Kitchens typically run $35,000 to $90,000 depending on size and material selections. Bathrooms often fall between $18,000 and $45,000. Roof replacements on Highland Village’s mid-90s homes frequently land between $12,000 and $25,000 depending on pitch and deck condition. Driveway and paver work varies widely, but expect $15 to $35 per square foot installed. The only way to know your price is a written, line-item estimate after we walk the site. We don’t quote over the phone and change it later. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll put every number on paper before you decide anything.

FAQs About Construction in Highland Village
A kitchen remodel in Highland Village typically runs between $35,000 and $90,000, depending on square footage, cabinet and counter selections, and whether the project involves moving walls or plumbing. The biggest variables are layout changes and material grade. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact written quote, and we’ll show you where the money goes line by line.
Not without your signature. At Barrett & Sons, every price change arrives as a written change order before any work proceeds. If you want to add something mid-project, you’ll see the new number in writing and approve it before a nail moves. If we made an error, we absorb it. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise at work.
Yes. Permits are pulled and inspections are signed on every eligible job in Highland Village. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why I like him. If a past contractor told you permits were optional, that’s a red flag we hear too often. We handle the paperwork from the start.
Homes near the Lake Lewisville shoreline may sit partially inside the Army Corps of Engineers’ flowage easement, which triggers a Section 404 or COE clearance process before certain additions, grading, or retaining wall work can proceed. FEMA floodplain permitting may also apply. We identify this boundary issue during the estimate, not after the backhoe arrives.
A typical bathroom remodel in Highland Village takes 3 to 6 weeks from demo to final inspection, depending on scope and whether hidden water damage requires correction. We’ll give you a written timeline before we start, and we’ll keep you posted if the inspector schedules slower than expected. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and a schedule that’s anchored in writing, not hope.
If you’re ready to talk about your project, call (877) 610-1318. We answer live, 24 hours a day. You’ll speak to Tom or one of his sons, and you’ll get a straight answer about your project before you commit to anything. Estimates are free, and the price we quote is the price you’ll see on the contract.
We’d rather earn your business one written estimate at a time than win a phone quote and lose a handshake. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. We stand behind the work.
