Why Kyle Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers the phone when you call. His sons run the crews. That matters in Kyle, where most of the housing stock went up fast after 2015, and homeowners are discovering what happens when production builders’ work starts showing its age. When Tom tells you a price, he’s the one who stands behind it. When a scope change comes up, it arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. No allowances that turn into surprises at the end. No mystery line items.
We’ve done work across 78640, from the original streets off Center Street to the newer mazes of 6 Creeks and the Plum Creek neighborhoods south of FM 1626. Homeowners there tell us the same thing: the last contractor quoted one price on the phone and handed them another bill at the door. That’s exactly the pattern Tom built this company to avoid. His name, his address, and his license number are published. Look them up before you sign anything. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we pull permits on every eligible job. You can read more about how Tom runs things on the home page.
Construction Services We Offer in Kyle
Kitchen Remodeling
We open walls, reroute plumbing and electrical, and build kitchens around materials you can look up: KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria countertops. Production-home kitchens in Kyle weren’t built for the kind of dinner traffic they get now, and we see the same worn hinges and failing drawer slides across whole streets at once.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Kyle.
Bathroom Remodeling
Shower pans leak, tile cracks along slab movement lines, and production-grade fixtures wear out years before they should. We tear out and rebuild bathrooms with proper waterproofing underneath, because the expensive part is what you can’t see.

Roofing
Kyle summers cook roofing materials at 100°F and more, and asphalt shingles from the original builds are hitting their replacement window across town. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with the underlayment and flashing details that production crews skip.
Learn more about our Roofing in Kyle.
Windows & Doors
Expansive clay soils shift under Kyle slabs, which throws doors and windows out of square in homes that are barely five years old. We level the openings, replace the units with Andersen or Marvin products, and seal them for the heat.
Fence Installation
Wind, rain, and that feast-or-famine clay cycle lean fence posts over faster than people from out of state expect. We set posts below the expansion line and build fences that stay plumb through wet winters and dry summers.
Driveway & Pavers
Concrete flatwork in Kyle cracks along the same clay movement lines that affect slabs and drywall. We do full driveway replacements and paver work with Techo-Bloc and Belgard systems built on compacted base that handles shifting ground.
Home Additions & ADU
Kyle’s growth has brought a lot of multigenerational households, and an ADU or addition makes more sense than selling and buying again in this market. We design and build additions that tie into existing production-home systems properly, permits included.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Kyle
Our crews work throughout the 78640 zip code. We’re regularly in Plum Creek, 6 Creeks, Waterleaf, Steeplechase, and the original neighborhoods near downtown Kyle. Typical response time for a free estimate inside the city is quick, because our scheduling comes from the Austin office and our crews live and work along the I-35 corridor.

Why Kyle’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Kyle has ranked among the fastest-growing cities in the United States for multiple consecutive years. That rank comes from volume: production builders like DR Horton, Lennar, and KB Home have put up thousands of homes in master-planned communities since 2015, nearly all of them slab-on-grade with similar materials and similar layout templates. When a defect shows up in one house, it usually shows up in ten others on the same block. We see it in warranty-turned-repair work all over Plum Creek and 6 Creeks: cracked drywall along the same ceiling lines, doors that won’t latch in the same floor plans, roof penetrations that leak in the same spots. Homeowners who didn’t live here before their house was built don’t always realize the pattern until a neighbor points it out.
Then there’s the ground itself. Kyle sits at the transition zone between the Edwards Plateau and the Blackland Prairie, where the clay soil expands in wet seasons and shrinks hard in dry ones. Slabs move. Windows bind. Concrete cracks. Caulking gives out. The 100°F-plus summer heat speeds up the same failure on anything exposed: roofing membranes, sealants, fence posts pulling loose in dry ground. A contractor who knows which neighborhoods sit on the heaviest clay profiles will plan for that movement instead of acting surprised by it later.
The volume also means the City of Kyle’s permitting office gets backed up. Inspection slots have run multi-week waits during peak building seasons. Contractors who batch their permit and inspection requests deliberately, and who have working relationships with city inspectors, turn projects meaningfully faster than out-of-area crews treating Kyle like a small-town permit office. That’s an advantage we don’t advertise lightly, but it’s real.
Pricing for Construction in Kyle
Straight numbers, because that’s what people actually ask for. Kitchen remodels in Kyle typically land between $25,000 and $45,000 for a gut-and-rebuild with mid-to-premium materials. Bathroom remodels run $12,000 to $28,000 depending on tile, glass, and whether we’re moving plumbing. Full roof replacements fall in the $10,000 to $18,000 range for most production-home footprints. Windows and doors vary widely by count and product line. Fences run $25 to $45 per linear foot with steel posts and cedar pickets. Paver driveways typically start around $15 per square foot installed.
Every job includes a written line-item estimate up front. If the scope changes, the change order is in writing before work proceeds. We don’t hand you a different number at the end than we quoted at the beginning. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on your specific project, and remember: we offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you already have.

FAQs About Construction in Kyle
Most kitchen remodels in Kyle run between $25,000 and $45,000, depending on cabinet line, countertop material, and whether you’re changing the footprint. Production-home kitchens in Plum Creek and 6 Creeks were built to a price point, not a standard. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, free of charge.
Only if the scope changes, and only with a written change order you sign first. Barrett & Sons does not do verbal allowances that turn into surprise invoices. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. If you want something different mid-project, you approve the new number before we touch it.
In Kyle, almost every structural, electrical, plumbing, and roofing job requires a permit through the City of Kyle. We pull permits and schedule inspections on every eligible job. Any contractor who tells you permits are optional is wrong, and you’re the one who owns the problem at resale. The inspector works for you, not for the contractor.
Kyle sits on expansive clay soils that shrink and swell with rainfall cycles, pushing slabs up in wet seasons and dropping them in dry ones. That movement cracks drywall, binds windows and doors, and shifts concrete flatwork even in homes built after 2015. It’s a ground issue, not a builder-specific one, and it’s predictable if someone’s worked here long enough to map it.
Kitchens and bathrooms typically run 4 to 8 weeks depending on scope and material lead times. Roofs are usually 2 to 4 days. Fences and driveways are 1 to 2 weeks. Permitting timing at the City of Kyle can add days or weeks during peak season, so we plan our permit and inspection requests accordingly. Call (877) 610-1318 for a realistic schedule on your specific job.

What Kyle 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
