AfterConstruction Services in Prosper, TX
Construction in Prosper looks different than it does almost anywhere else in North Texas. Most of the homes here were built after 2015, and a lot of the calls we get are for additions, outdoor living structures, and fixing the things that go wrong once a brand-new house starts settling into blackland clay. When you call Barrett & Sons at (877) 610-1318, you get Tom Barrett or one of his sons on the phone, and we’re usually able to have someone out to look at your job within a day or two. We know Prosper because we work here constantly, not because a GPS routed us through on the way to somewhere else.

Why Prosper Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Prosper residents have a particular reason to be skeptical of contractors, and it starts with the builder who sold them the house. A lot of the homes in Star Trail and Whitley Place were pushed through production schedules so fast that owners are finding wall cracks, binding doors, and grout popping in showers while the house is still in what should be its honeymoon period. When you call us, we walk the property with you and name what we’re seeing. You won’t get a salesperson. You’ll get Tom Barrett or a son, someone whose name is on the truck and who will answer when you call back in six months. And everything we quote and everything we change along the way lands on paper before it lands at your front door.
We’ve worked in Windsong Ranch and Star Trail enough to know the street patterns, the HOA expectations, and the way the foundation systems typically behave in this soil. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Construction Services We Offer in Prosper
We handle a wide range of work, and the same rules apply to all of it: written scope, written change orders, permits pulled when the job requires them, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise on every contract. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
Kitchen Remodeling
Prosper kitchens in the 3,000 to 5,000 square foot range usually have good bones but dated builder finishes, which is why our Kitchen Remodeling - Prosper team focuses on quality upgrades. We install KraftMaid and Cambria across the board, and we keep allowances in writing so you’ll never open a surprise invoice at the end.

Bathroom Remodeling
Newer homes in Prosper still get leaky shower pans and cracking grout, especially when foundation movement plays a part, and our Bathroom Remodeling - Prosper service addresses these issues properly. We rebuild bathrooms the right way, including waterproofing that passes inspection without a wink and a nod.

Roofing
Hail season in Collin County is real, and so is the parade of out-of-town roofers who show up after every storm. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems for our Roofing in Prosper and write the scope so clearly your insurance adjuster won’t have to guess at what was actually damaged.

Windows & Doors
When clay soil moves, window and door frames shift, and that’s common in Prosper even on homes under ten years old. We install Andersen and Marvin Windows & Doors in Prosper that hold their alignment better and look right on these brick and stone facades.
Fence Installation
Prosper backyards are built for privacy and pools, which means a lot of long fence lines and gate runs. We set posts deeper than the builders did and use hardware that holds up in North Texas wind.
Driveway & Pavers
A lot of the driveways in newer Prosper developments are poured fast and thin, and they show it early. We use Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers for replacement and extension work that handles the shifting soil better than a standard pour.
Home Additions & ADU
With lot sizes in some parts of Prosper actually allowing for real additions and detached units, we’ve seen a steady rise in ADU requests. We pull permits on every one, because the inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.

Why Prosper’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Prosper sits on North Texas blackland prairie, and that means expansive clay. Every summer, the ground cracks and shrinks. Every fall and spring, rain swells it back. Foundations move. Drywall cracks at the corners of upstairs hallways. Doors start to rub. It’s not shoddy construction, necessarily. It’s geography. We see post-tension slabs in five- and six-year-old Prosper homes already showing measurable differential movement at interior partition walls, because irrigation systems and landscaping weren’t established before the first drought cycle hit. This affects every trade: a room addition needs a foundation plan that won’t fight the slab it’s tied to. A fence post set in moving clay can lean in two seasons. Even a window replacement has to account for jamb shifts. We build all of it with those conditions in mind, because we deal with them every week in Prosper.
The other local factor is heat. Summer work on an unshaded Prosper slab regularly puts the surface temperature over 120 degrees, and you don’t pour concrete at 2 p.m. in that kind of weather if you want it to cure right. We schedule pours for early morning and keep to an aggressive curing schedule. The crews know how to pace roof work in August, too. These are the sorts of details you learn only by working here, not by reading a regional weather report.
Pricing for Construction in Prosper
Prosper pricing tends to run slightly above the DFW metro average. These are large, high-value homes, and material and labor competition is tight with so much concurrent development across the town. A bathroom remodel might start around $18,000 and go up with material allowance choices. A full kitchen remodel in a 4,000 square foot home commonly lands between $45,000 and $90,000 depending on cabinet line and counter depth. Simple fence replacement runs $28 to $38 per linear foot with cedar pickets and quality hardware. Every quote is written, and every change order arrives on paper before any work begins. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

FAQs About Construction in Prosper
A room addition or ADU in Prosper typically costs between $180 and $280 per square foot, depending on whether you’re building on a slab or tying into an existing post-tension foundation. Clay soil conditions and the need for foundation engineering push the number higher than in other parts of the metro. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Yes, we pull permits on every eligible job in Prosper and the inspector signs off before we call it finished. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
It won’t change unless the scope changes, and if the scope changes, you get a written change order before a single nail moves. That’s the rule at Barrett & Sons, and it’s why we write every allowance on paper from day one.
A bathroom remodel typically takes three to five weeks. A full kitchen runs five to eight weeks. Fence replacement is often done in two or three days. Weather, material lead times, and HOA approvals in communities like Windsong Ranch or Star Trail can shift a schedule, and we set expectations honestly before we start.
Yes, and it’s some of the most common work we do. Five- to eight-year-old homes in Prosper are already showing slab movement, drywall cracks, and flashing failures that the original builder won’t address once the warranty expires. We inspect and write an honest scope, then call (877) 610-1318 to go over what we found.

What Prosper Customers Say
"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."
- Thaddeus Oyelowo"Addition over the garage matched the original roofline and brickwork so closely that visitors do not realise it was added. He tracked down the closest brick he could find rather than settling."
- Gideon Stroud"The bathroom was finished on the day he said at the start, which nobody had led me to believe was possible."
- Loretta Vanterpool
