AfterConstruction Services in Ingleside, TX
Most construction calls we get from Ingleside start the same way: a homeowner found a problem over the weekend, tried to ignore it, and now it’s Tuesday and the problem hasn’t fixed itself. Maybe it’s a roof leak that showed up after the last coastal storm, or a kitchen that finally gave out after thirty years of salt air working on the cabinets. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been answering our own phone since 1998. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail box, and we’ll talk through what you’re seeing before we ever send a crew to Ingleside.

Why Ingleside Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That means when you hire us for construction in Ingleside, the people on your job are the ones whose name is on the truck. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, and he’ll tell you to look it up before you sign anything.
We’ve worked in neighborhoods across Ingleside, from the older blocks near Scott Avenue close to the Port of Corpus Christi’s Ingleside terminal, to the quieter residential streets south of FM 1069. Homeowners there know what it’s like to deal with contractors who quote one price on the phone and hand over a different bill at the door. We don’t do that. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before any work happens. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and our customers in 78362 don’t get surprises.
Our crews are background-checked and uniformed on every visit. And every job we finish carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not buried in fine print. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
Construction Services We Offer in Ingleside
Kitchen Remodeling
A kitchen remodel in Ingleside means working around houses built mostly in the 1960s through 1990s, compact footprints, and decades of coastal humidity. We install brands you can look up, like KraftMaid and Cambria, because you shouldn’t have to trust a mystery box off a van. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Ingleside.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathrooms in Ingleside take a beating from hard water and salt air, and a lot of the older stock near the former Naval Station footprint has deferred maintenance from years of economic stagnation after the 2010 BRAC closure. We handle full remodels, from tearing out chrome that’s pitted from corrosion to rebuilding showers with proper waterproofing. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Ingleside.
Roofing
Roofs in Ingleside sit directly on the north shore of Corpus Christi Bay, where onshore winds drive salt spray inland and eat exposed fasteners faster than anywhere twenty miles from the water. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with galvanized and stainless hardware that holds up to the coastal environment. Learn more about our Roofing in Ingleside.
Windows & Doors
Old aluminum windows on brick-veneer homes in Ingleside lose their seals and let humidity in, and that humidity rots sills and frames. We carry Andersen and Marvin windows, and we pull permits on every eligible install so the inspector signs off before we call the job done.
Fence Installation
Fences in Ingleside have to stand up to wind loads most inland contractors never think about. We set posts deep and use hardware that won’t rust out in three seasons of salt spray.
Driveway & Pavers
Concrete slabs in Ingleside crack from shifting soils, and paver driveways need a base that drains properly through coastal rain events. We do both, and we use materials like Belgard and Techo-Bloc so you get a product you can look up.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Ingleside means building to high-wind design requirements and dealing with slab foundations engineered for coastal conditions. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and keep every change order in writing.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Ingleside
We work all over Ingleside and the 78362 ZIP code, and we can usually get a crew out for an estimate within a couple of business days. A few of the areas where we’re regularly working include:
- Neighborhoods east of Scott Avenue near the Port of Corpus Christi terminal
- Residential streets south of FM 1069 toward the bay
- Older blocks near the former Naval Station Ingleside footprint
- The newer subdivisions west of Highway 35 toward Aransas Pass
- Streets off Avenue E heading toward Corpus Christi Bay
Why Ingleside’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Ingleside is simultaneously a small residential coastal town and the industrial construction epicenter of the Coastal Bend. The Port of Corpus Christi’s Ingleside terminal is one of the largest crude oil export hubs in the country, and the surrounding petrochemical corridor drives heavy commercial work. But the residential side has its own challenges. Persistent onshore winds push salt spray inland, corroding exposed fasteners, metal roofing, and structural connectors far faster than you’d see even twenty miles from the bay. Galvanized and stainless hardware isn’t an upgrade in Ingleside, it’s the baseline.
The housing stock tells a story too. Most homes here are modest single-family brick-veneer builds on concrete slabs, put up between the 1960s and 1990s during the height of Naval Station Ingleside’s activity. When the Navy left in 2010, a lot of maintenance got deferred. We regularly walk into homes in 78362 where a small issue from fifteen years ago has compounded into something bigger because nobody had the budget to fix it when it started. Salt-air degradation on top of deferred repairs is the single most common combination we see.
And then there’s the former Naval Station footprint itself. We’ve bid jobs there that looked straightforward on paper, only to hit walls and slabs engineered for naval operations instead of civilian-scale removal. Contractors who haven’t worked near that site before routinely underestimate it. We’ve learned to expect it.
Pricing for Construction in Ingleside
Honest pricing starts with knowing what’s actually behind the walls, and in Ingleside that means accounting for coastal corrosion and deferred maintenance. Here’s what you can generally expect:

- Bathroom remodel: $9,000 to $22,000 for a typical 50 to 80 square foot bathroom

FAQs About Construction in Ingleside
Most kitchen remodels in Ingleside run between $22,000 and $48,000, depending on whether you’re keeping the layout or moving plumbing, and which cabinet and countertop lines you choose. The salt air here means we recommend materials and hardware that hold up to humidity, and that can shift the number slightly. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written estimate specific to your home.
Only if you ask for a change, and even then, the new price comes to you as a written change order before any work happens. We don’t do surprise invoices. That’s been the rule at Barrett & Sons since 1998, and it’s written on every contract.
Yes, on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s why we like having them involved. If a contractor tells you permits are optional in Ingleside, that’s a red flag, and it’s exactly the kind of thing that costs homeowners money later.
Most single-family roof replacements in Ingleside take two to four days once materials are on site. Coastal wind-zone requirements and salt-air fastener standards add a bit of time compared to inland jobs, because cutting corners on hardware isn’t something we’ll do. We’ll give you a written timeline before we start.
Yes, we’ve done work near the former Naval Station footprint and we know what to expect there. Demolition and renovation bids around that site routinely run over when crews hit military-spec concrete engineered for naval operations, and we factor that into our estimates up front. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and we’ll walk the site with you.

What Ingleside Customers Say
"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."
- 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
