Finding a construction contractor in Anaheim means sorting through a lot of noise, from national franchises that price by call center to one-man crews who disappear after demolition. At Barrett & Sons Construction, the person who answers your call is the same person whose name goes on the contract. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, his sons run our crews, and when you call (877) 610-1318, a live person picks up, day or night. We know Anaheim’s permit desk, its plan-check quirks, and the difference between building in the flatlands versus the hills. Let’s talk about your project.

Why Anaheim Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Most homeowners we meet in Anaheim have already been through this once. They hired a contractor who quoted one number on the phone, then handed them a change order with an extra zero once the walls were open. That is exactly the experience we built this company to correct. Every scope item, every allowance, every price change at Barrett & Sons arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. No surprise invoices at the end. No verbal promises that evaporate. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number so you can look him up before you sign anything.
Our crews work throughout Anaheim, from the 1950s ranch-style streets of West Anaheim to the stucco hillside homes of Anaheim Hills. The homes in neighborhoods near Lincoln Avenue and along Brookhurst Street carry different structural histories than the graded lots east of the 55, and we plan accordingly. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. We stand behind every job with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
Construction Services We Offer in Anaheim
From kitchens to roof replacements to full home additions, here’s what we build across Anaheim. Every eligible job includes permits pulled and inspections signed.
Kitchen Remodeling
Anaheim’s older tract homes hide surprises behind drywall, from original electrical panels to asbestos tile that needs abatement coordination before cabinets go in. We spec premium brands like KraftMaid and Cambria so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Anaheim.
Bathroom Remodeling
We replace aging plumbing and waterproofing failures that are common in 1960s-era Anaheim bathrooms. We install systems like Schluter and fixtures from Grohe, with every change order in writing before tile gets set. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Anaheim.
Roofing
Anaheim’s heat and Santa Ana winds punish underlayment and flashing long before the shingles look worn. We install GAF roofing systems with ember-resistant venting where Anaheim Hills fire codes require it. Learn more about our Roofing in Anaheim.
Windows & Doors
Single-pane aluminum windows in 1960s Anaheim homes leak conditioned air all summer, and we replace them with Andersen or Marvin units sized to the opening, not shimmed to fit. Proper flashing matters more than the window itself in our experience.
Fence Installation
Anaheim property lines get complicated, especially on the flag lots off Euclid Street and the hillside parcels in the 92807 ZIP. We pull permits where required and keep neighbors informed before the post holes go in.
Driveway & Pavers
We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc paver systems on properly compacted base material, because Anaheim’s expansive clay soils shift more than most homeowners realize. A paver driveway that heaves in year two was never about the pavers; it was about the base.
Home Additions & ADU
Anaheim’s ADU rules have evolved, and we navigate the setbacks, height limits, and fire-safety requirements that apply to your specific lot. Engineered foundations are non-negotiable in Anaheim Hills, and we plan for that from the first takeoff.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Anaheim
Our crews are on job sites across Anaheim most days. We know the streets and the parkways:
- West Anaheim (92804) - 1950s tract homes with original slab foundations and framing.
- Central Anaheim (92805) - older neighborhoods near Lincoln Avenue, with many historic-era homes and tight setbacks.
- East Anaheim (92806) - post-WWII subdivisions with aging electrical and plumbing infrastructure.
- Anaheim Hills (92807) - hillside stucco homes on clay soils with WUI fire-code requirements.
Typical response time for a free estimate in Anaheim is one business day, often faster when the project is urgent.
Why Anaheim’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Anaheim’s construction market is split between two distinct environments that demand different expertise. The western resort corridor, governed by the city’s Resort District Specific Plan, adds a design review layer on top of normal permitting that out-of-town contractors frequently miss, and that review can push timelines significantly. Meanwhile, the Anaheim Hills neighborhoods in 92807 and 92808 sit inside California-designated High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, where fire-resistive assemblies, ember-resistant venting, and WUI compliance are mandatory, not optional. Most flatland Orange County contractors rarely touch those requirements, and when they do, the permit inspector catches what they missed. The permit inspector works for you, not for me; that’s why I like him.
The housing stock tells the same story. West and central Anaheim’s 1950s and 1960s post-WWII tract homes are thick with original slab foundations, aging wood framing, and asbestos-containing materials in floor tiles, duct wrap, and textured ceilings. Abatement coordination is a routine pre-construction step on substantial remodels there. Anaheim Hills carries 1980s and 1990s stucco-over-wood-frame construction on graded lots with expansive clay that shifts in wet years, which means engineered foundations, retaining wall repairs, and regrading show up on our estimates more often than not. A contractor who only builds on flat, stable lots will not see these problems coming. We do, because we have fixed them here many times.
Pricing for Construction in Anaheim

FAQs About Construction in Anaheim
Yes. Any kitchen remodel that moves plumbing, electrical, or structural walls requires a building permit from the City of Anaheim. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job. The inspector works for you, not for the contractor; that’s why we want the city involved. Skipping permits saves money once and costs far more at resale. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through what your project needs.
Kitchen remodels in Anaheim run $35,000-$85,000; bathrooms $22,000-$45,000; roofs $12,000-$28,000; and additions $180,000-$400,000+. Your specific house, its age, and its ZIP code change those numbers significantly. We give you a written, line-item estimate after looking at the home in person. Estimates are free. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule one.
Yes. Anaheim Hills falls inside High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, which mandate fire-resistive assemblies, ember-resistant venting, and WUI-compliant materials for any new build or major addition. Our crews work in those ZIP codes regularly, and we factor the WUI requirements into the plan from the start rather than discovering them at inspection. It changes material selection, framing details, and timelines, and we schedule for it up front.
It will only change if you change the scope, and every change comes to you as a written change order before any work proceeds. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We put allowances on paper from the first estimate. No verbal agreements, no end-of-job invoices with mystery line items.
We offer $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount. Mention any of these when you call (877) 610-1318 and we will apply them to your estimate.
We typically schedule free estimates within one business day across Anaheim. If the project is urgent, such as a roof leak or safety issue, call (877) 610-1318 and a live person will pick up and get you on the schedule right away. We do not route calls through voicemail boxes or out-of-state call centers.
Yes, though most of our Resort District work is commercial hospitality rather than residential. The city’s Resort District Specific Plan adds a design review layer on top of standard permitting that most out-of-town contractors do not discover until their schedule is already blown. We factor that approval stage into our timelines from the first takeoff, because we have built there before.

What Anaheim Customers Say
"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."
- 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."
