AfterConstruction Services in Lantana, TX
If you live in Lantana, you already know the drill: a master-planned community means two layers of approval on almost anything you build, replace, or bolt to the outside of your house. The Architectural Review Committee has its say, Denton County permitting has another, and the two don’t always see eye to eye. Most construction in Lantana costs more and takes longer than it should because someone didn’t sequence those approvals correctly on day one. We’ve been sorting through both layers long enough that the paperwork doesn’t slow us down, and we’re happy to walk you through it before you spend a dollar. Call Tom’s team at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you what your project actually requires.

Why Lantana Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Barrett & Sons is owned by Tom Barrett, and Tom’s sons run the crews. That’s not marketing language; that’s who shows up at your door. When you call about a kitchen remodel or a roof replacement in Lantana, you aren’t talking to a call center in another state. You’re talking to someone who knows that the subdivision off Lantana Trail and the streets south of the golf course have different ARC submittal quirks, and that homes off Copper Canyon Drive were built in a different phase than the ones near the southern entrance.
We put every change order in writing before any work happens. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job. And every contract carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. You can check Tom’s name, his license number, and his address before you sign anything. We publish them because we want you to look.
Construction Services We Offer in Lantana
Kitchen Remodeling
Lantana kitchens from the 2004 to 2012 build-out era are hitting the age where cabinet faces are worn, layouts feel cramped by today’s standards, and homeowners want Cambria or KraftMaid instead of the original builder stock. We handle the full tear-out and rebuild, including moving plumbing on post-tension slabs, which requires a cable scan before any concrete is cut. Learn more about Kitchen Remodeling in Lantana.
Bathroom Remodeling
Builder-grade bathrooms in these early-2000s homes weren’t designed for two people getting ready at once, aging in place, or the kind of storage families actually need. We remodel primary baths, guest baths, and powder rooms with proper waterproofing, venting, and materials that hold up to the humidity swings North Texas brings. Learn more about Bathroom Remodeling in Lantana.
Roofing
Many Lantana roofs are original to homes built between 2003 and 2015, which means wind-driven hail and the 2021 ice event have already tested them hard. If the ARC requires a specific shingle profile or color range, we handle that approval as part of the job. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems and we don’t cut corners on underlayment or flashing. Learn more about Roofing in Lantana.
Windows & Doors
Original windows in Lantana’s first-phase homes are now 18 to 20 years old, with failing seals, fogged glass, and frames that no longer close tight against Texas heat. We install Andersen and Marvin replacement windows and doors, and we coordinate ARC submittals when the style or exterior color changes.
Fence Installation
Wood privacy fences in Lantana all face the same enemy: the Blackland Prairie clay that heaves and shifts with every rain-drought cycle. Add the ARC’s fence height and style requirements, and you need a crew who knows what Denton County’s design standards actually allow before you drop a post. We build fences that stay straight longer because we set posts below the active clay zone.
Driveway & Pavers
Replacing a driveway or adding a paver patio means cutting into expansive clay and, in many Lantana lots, working around or near post-tension slab edges. We scan before we cut, grade for proper drainage, and install Belgard or Techo-Bloc pavers with a base that won’t sink after two North Texas seasons.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Lantana means an ARC design review and Denton County structural permitting, and it almost always means tying a new foundation into or next to a post-tension slab. We coordinate engineering, cable scanning, and both approval layers so your addition doesn’t stall out halfway through.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Lantana
Lantana is one big master-planned community, but the villages and sections each have their own rhythms. We’re regularly working in these parts of the 76226 zip code:
- Lantana North, including streets off Lantana Trail
- The golf course corridor along Copper Canyon Road
- Southern sections near FM 407
- West side neighborhoods off Chinn Chapel Road
Most of our Lantana estimates happen within 48 hours of your call, often sooner. We schedule around your availability, not the other way around.
Why Lantana’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Lantana sits squarely on the Blackland Prairie, and that clay soil is the single biggest factor in nearly every project we touch here. It swells after spring rain, contracts in August drought, and puts continuous stress on post-tension slabs, flatwork, driveways, and any framing that touches the ground. Virtually every home in Lantana was built between 2003 and 2015 with a post-tension slab. That means before any concrete cutting, coring, or anchoring, we run a cable scan. Severing even one tensioned cable can cause permanent structural damage and trigger liability under the original builder’s engineering specs.
The 2021 ice event found weak points in exterior envelopes and mechanical chases across this housing stock, and we’re now doing retrofit work on those exact issues. Original composite decks from the same build-out era are also failing at predictable rates. When you combine those first-generation replacement cycles with the dual ARC and Denton County approval process, a good contractor in Lantana has to be as fluent in the paperwork as the framing. We are.
Pricing for Construction in Lantana
Construction pricing in Lantana runs higher than nearby unincorporated pockets because the ARC review adds design and waiting time, and because the clay soil demands better footings, deeper post holes, and more careful flatwork prep. Here’s honest guidance, not a sales pitch:
- Kitchen remodel: $42,000 to $95,000 depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and structural scope
- Bathroom remodel: $18,000 to $48,000 depending on size, tile, and plumbing moves
- Full roof replacement: $14,000 to $32,000 depending on square footage and shingle grade
- Driveway or paver replacement: $9,000 to $28,000 depending on square footage and base work
- Fence installation: $4,500 to $14,000 depending on linear feet and material
- Room addition or ADU: $110,000 and up depending on foundation, plumbing, and ARC scope
Every estimate we give is a written line-item quote. If the scope changes, you get a written change order with the new number before work starts. No change order, no charge.

FAQs About Construction in Lantana
A kitchen remodel in Lantana typically runs between $42,000 and $95,000, with the final number driven by cabinet line, countertop material, whether you’re moving plumbing on a post-tension slab, and how much structural work the ARC process requires. The best way to get a real number is a written estimate. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours.
Yes. Lantana’s Architectural Review Committee governs what your project can look like, and Denton County governs whether it meets code. We’ve done jobs where the county signed off in a week but the ARC sent the design back twice. Starting both submissions at the same time, with drawings that already account for ARC preferences, keeps your schedule from blowing out.
It can, but only if the scope changes, and only after you sign a written change order that shows the new number. We don’t do surprise invoices, and we don’t treat allowances as a blank check. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. If something unexpected is hiding behind a wall, you’ll see the cost in writing before we proceed.
Yes, and we never cut concrete in Lantana without scanning for tensioned cables first. That’s non-negotiable. Severing a post-tension cable can cause irreversible structural damage and leave you fighting the original builder’s engineering specs. The scan adds a small cost and a couple of hours. It’s the cheapest insurance you’ll ever buy.
We pull permits on every eligible job and we stay on site through the inspection. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why I like him there. A contractor who tells you permits are optional in Lantana is telling you the ARC doesn’t exist either. Both of those statements will cost you down the road.

What Lantana 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
