Construction in Brushy Creek comes with a wrinkle most homeowners don’t spot until their project stalls: this is unincorporated Williamson County, so every permit runs through the county building department, not a city inspections office. That single fact changes timelines, paperwork, and which contractors actually know what they’re doing out here. Barrett & Sons Construction has been navigating Williamson County’s permitting process for years, and we answer our own phone at (877) 610-1318 when you’re ready to talk about your project.

Why Brushy Creek Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still puts his name, his address, and his license number on every contract. You can look them up before you sign anything. That’s the kind of accountability that matters in a place like Brushy Creek, where the 78717 ZIP covers a wave of tract homes built between roughly 1993 and 2008. We’ve handled Kitchen Remodeling in Brushy Creek in the neighborhoods off Great Oaks Drive and replaced roofs along Hairy Man Road, and the homeowners there will tell you the same thing: the crew you meet on day one is the crew that finishes the job. Tom’s sons run the crews, background-checked and uniformed on every visit. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a voicemail box in another state.
Every job comes with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t done right, Tom comes back and makes it right with one call. Every scope change, every allowance, every price adjustment arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. No surprises at the end. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job. That’s not a sales pitch. That’s how we’ve operated since 1998.

Roofing
Central Texas hail and wind have put a lot of Brushy Creek Roofing through their paces, and many of those 1990s-era shingles are past their useful life. We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems rated for this climate, scheduled around the summer heat that can compromise adhesive curing.

Windows & Doors
Expansive clay soil under Brushy Creek means shifting door and window frames are more than an annoyance, they’re a symptom of slab movement that needs evaluation. For Windows & Doors in Brushy Creek, we install Andersen and Marvin windows, plus Simonton and PGT impact-rated options, after checking the opening for signs of foundation stress.
Fence Installation
Wood privacy fences take a beating in the drought-to-deluge cycles that define this part of Williamson County. We build fences with post depths and concrete footings suited to moving clay soil, not the generic specs a crew from out of county might use.
Driveway & Pavers
Post-tension slab foundations and reactive clay mean driveway work in Brushy Creek requires prep that prevents future cracking and heaving. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with proper base compaction for this soil profile.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Brushy Creek means county permits, staged inspections, and engineering that accounts for Blackland Prairie clay movement. We handle the full process, from initial engineering through final inspection, with every inspection window scheduled with lead time for Williamson County’s inspectors.

Why Brushy Creek’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Brushy Creek sits on the Blackland Prairie, and that clay shrinks and heaves dramatically as Central Texas swings between drought and deluge. We see the results in cracked brick veneer, shifted door frames, and slab movement throughout the 78717 ZIP, especially in the wave of homes built between 1993 and 2008. Those houses are now 15 to 30 years old, which puts a massive cohort of structures at the threshold where original roofs, windows, and mechanical systems fail around the same time. Before we start any addition or remodel here, we evaluate what the soil is doing under your slab, because a kitchen renovation on a shifting foundation needs different sequencing than the same job on stable ground. Summer heat also dictates how we schedule concrete pours and roofing work, since extreme temperatures can compromise curing and adhesion if the timing is off.
And then there’s the permitting reality that catches out-of-area contractors off guard. Brushy Creek is unincorporated, which means there is no city inspections office. Every permit goes through Williamson County, and their inspectors cover large rural-to-suburban territories. Scheduling inspection windows for staged work like framing, rough-in, and final requires lead time that jobs just across the line in Cedar Park or Round Rock city limits would not. A contractor who assumes Austin or Round Rock processes apply will stall your project before it starts. We know the county system, and we build that lead time into every timeline from the first estimate.

FAQs About Construction in Brushy Creek
Yes, and it comes from Williamson County, not a city building department, because Brushy Creek is unincorporated. Permits are required for structural work, additions, roof replacements, and most electrical, plumbing, and mechanical changes. We pull permits and sign inspections on every eligible job, and the county inspection schedule means you’ll want a contractor who plans those windows in advance. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your specific project needs.
Kitchen remodels typically run 6 to 10 weeks, bathrooms 3 to 6 weeks, roof replacements 2 to 5 days, and additions 3 to 6 months depending on scope. Williamson County inspection scheduling adds lead time at each stage, since Brushy Creek has no local inspections office and county inspectors cover large territories. We build that reality into every timeline we give you. Call (877) 610-1318 for a schedule specific to your job.
The Blackland Prairie clay under Brushy Creek shrinks and heaves with seasonal moisture swings, stressing slabs, brick veneer, and door and window frames. Homes built between 1993 and 2008 are hitting 15 to 30 years old right now, which amplifies those issues alongside aging roofs and mechanical systems. We evaluate soil and slab conditions before any remodel or addition so the work holds up. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
Not without your written approval. Every price change, every allowance adjustment, every scope revision arrives as a written change order before any work proceeds. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying at every stage. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’d like to see how our contracts are structured.
Yes. We offer $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received from another contractor, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount. These offers stand on their own, and we’ll apply them without you having to ask. Call (877) 610-1318 and mention which one applies to your project.

What Brushy Creek 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."
