Why Round Rock Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and the name on the truck is still the name answering for the work. In neighborhoods like Teravista and Forest Creek, word gets around fast when a contractor quotes one number and hands you another. That’s exactly what we don’t do. Every scope change, allowance adjustment, or surprise condition arrives as a written change order before work continues. If it’s not on paper, it’s not a price. Homeowners in Stone Canyon and Brushy Creek have called us after getting burned by outfits that treated permits like optional paperwork. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job, because the inspector works for you, not for me.
Construction Services We Offer in Round Rock
Kitchen Remodeling
We install brands you can look up, like KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria countertops. A Round Rock kitchen remodel should handle the uneven slabs and shifting door frames that come with our clay soil, and that’s what we design for. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Round Rock.
Bathroom Remodeling
A bathroom done wrong on an expansive-soil slab will crack tile and bind doors within a few seasons. We build for Round Rock’s ground conditions from the start, with written allowances that keep you out of surprise-invoice territory. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Round Rock.
Roofing
Hail season in Williamson County is real, and so are the fly-by-night roofing crews that follow it. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems and stand behind them with a written promise, not a handshake. Learn more about our Roofing in Round Rock.
Windows & Doors
If you need Windows & Doors in Round Rock, old builder-grade windows from the tract-home boom are hitting their failure window right about now. We carry Andersen, Marvin, Simonton, and PGT lines, and we’ll help you pick what works for your specific exposure and insulation needs.
Fence Installation
Cedar and treated pine fences in Round Rock take a beating from our freeze-thaw cycles and summer heat. We set posts deep enough to stay true through clay shrink-swell, and we don’t cut that corner.
Driveway & Pavers
Flatwork on Blackland Prairie clay cracks when the base isn’t engineered for movement. We prep drives and hardscapes with that soil in mind, using Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers where they fit the job.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Round Rock means matching your roofline, your foundation system, and your setbacks, which is why our Round Rock Roofing expertise matters. We handle the permits, the engineering, and the build, so the addition looks like it was always there.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Round Rock
We work across Round Rock, and our crews know the difference between a 78665 subdivision off University and an older pocket in 78664. We’re typically able to get a crew to most Round Rock jobs within a day or two for an estimate visit.

Why Round Rock’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Round Rock has been one of the fastest-growing cities in America for two straight decades, and that means something specific for construction here. Most of the housing stock was put up by high-volume tract builders between roughly 1995 and 2015 in master-planned communities like Teravista, Forest Creek, and Stone Canyon. Those homes are now entering their first major renovation and structural repair cycle all at once. What we find repeatedly inside a single ZIP code is the same builder shortcut copied across hundreds of nearly identical homes: drainage grades that run toward the slab, undersized lintels, thin stucco detailing. Add in Williamson County’s expansive Blackland Prairie clay, which swells in wet seasons and shrinks hard in droughts, and you get constant slab movement that cracks flatwork, distorts door frames, and undermines concrete that wasn’t engineered for the soil. On the east side in 78664 and 78665, built on former farmland, the original grading often left lots with negative drainage toward the foundation. After 15 to 20 years of clay cycling, a homeowner who thinks they need a remodel often discovers they need regrading and downspout extension before any interior work can hold. That site-prep cost is real, and it’s one of the most common reasons Round Rock residents call us for a second opinion on a written estimate.
Pricing for Construction in Round Rock
Construction pricing in Round Rock runs wide because no two slabs, rooflines, or drainage situations are the same. Here’s what we see on average for common projects in this market:
- Kitchen remodel: $35,000-$85,000 depending on cabinet line, layout changes, and slab work
- Bathroom remodel: $15,000-$45,000 depending on size and finish level
- Roof replacement: $9,000-$18,000 depending on slope and system
- Fence installation: $18-$35 per linear foot depending on material and post depth
- Driveway replacement: $7-$14 per square foot with engineered base prep
- Home addition/ADU: $180-$320 per square foot, permits included
The honest truth about pricing in Round Rock? If you haven’t accounted for clay soil, drainage grades, and the condition of a 20-year-old slab, your first quote probably isn’t your final number. We’d rather tell you that up front than surprise you later. Senior and veteran homeowners in Round Rock receive a permanent 10% discount, and there’s no trip charge inside the county. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom will walk you through a real range, not a sales number.

FAQs About Construction in Round Rock
Most Round Rock kitchen remodels we quote run between $35,000 and $85,000, with the range driven by cabinet line, countertop choice, and what’s happening with the slab underneath. A home in Teravista or Forest Creek built on post-tension concrete will need different prep than an older home on a conventional slab. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, and we’ll put the full breakdown in writing.
Yes. Every eligible job we take in Round Rock includes permits pulled and inspections signed. Williamson County and Round Rock building officials review our work, and that’s exactly how we want it. A contractor who tells you permits are optional in Round Rock is giving you a reason to keep looking.
Only if the scope changes, and even then, only in writing. If we discover a drainage problem or a slab issue that wasn’t visible during the estimate, you’ll get a written change order describing the work and the price before anything proceeds. If you don’t approve it in writing, we don’t do it. That’s the rule on every Barrett & Sons job.
Because much of Round Rock sits on Blackland Prairie clay that expands and shrinks with moisture cycles. On the east side in 78664 and 78665, many subdivisions built on former farmland have original grading that slopes toward the foundation. Regrading and extending downspouts often has to happen before new tile, framing, or drywall can hold on a Bathroom Remodeling - Round Rock project or any interior work. It’s the least glamorous line item on our estimates, and the one you’ll be glad you didn’t skip.
Yes. Round Rock homeowners 65 and older, as well as active-duty or retired military, receive a permanent 10% discount on our services. We also offer a free second opinion on any written estimate from another contractor, $40 off any repair over $200, and no trip charge inside the county. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate, and we’ll answer the phone when you do.

- Xiomara Benavides"Tom Barrett was on our job most days himself, not just at the quote and then never again. When something needed deciding there was an actual person to decide it with."
- Rosalie Pemberton"Came back a year later to sort a door that had dropped as the frame settled. No charge and no argument about whether it was covered."
