Why Anthony Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. That’s the difference most people feel within a week of hiring us: the name on the truck is the name of the man who answers the phone. Anthony residents in neighborhoods up along NM 478 and in the newer subdivisions off I-10 have called us after a national outfit quoted one number on the phone and handed over a different bill at the door. We don’t work that way. If it’s not in writing, it didn’t happen.
We serve homes throughout 79821, from the older streets near the state line to the newer tract housing on the east side. Tom Barrett publishes his name, address, and license number - look us up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street.
Construction Services We Offer in Anthony
Kitchen Remodeling
We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz counters in Anthony kitchens, and we plan the job around your daily routine. Every allowance is written down before demolition starts, so you’ll never wonder where the money went. Learn more about Kitchen Remodeling in Anthony.
Bathroom Remodeling
Anthony’s older homes often have slab-on-grade foundations, which means moving a drain line isn’t a casual decision. We plan for that reality from the first walkthrough and bring it to you in writing. Learn more about Bathroom Remodeling in Anthony.
Roofing
The Chihuahuan Desert sun bakes roofing membranes fast, and Anthony summers regularly push past 100°F. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems rated for exactly this climate, with permits and inspections on every reroof. Learn more about Roofing in Anthony.
Windows & Doors
We carry Andersen, Marvin, Simonton, and PGT windows, and we’ll tell you which makes sense for your home’s sun exposure. Anthony’s UV levels destroy cheap caulking and seals quickly, so the right product matters.
Fence Installation
Caliche under the desert surface makes post-hole digging miserable without the right equipment. We bring that equipment and we set posts deep enough to handle the wind gusts that sweep through the Mesilla Valley.
Driveway & Pavers
We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc hardscapes with proper base preparation for Anthony’s clay and caliche soils. A driveway that shifts after two summers isn’t done right, and we’d rather do it once.
Home Additions & ADU
Anthony’s newer subdivisions often have minimal setbacks and shared utility corridors, which complicate additions. We pull the permits, we dig the footings past the caliche, and we keep you informed in writing at every step.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Anthony
We cover the entire 79821 area. Most calls come from the residential streets off NM 478, the neighborhoods east and west of I-10, the older blocks near the state line, and the newer tract developments spreading toward the desert edge. We’re typically on site within a few days of the first call for a walkthrough.
Anthony residents in the older core, near the high school, on the east side subdivisions, and along the border streets have all seen our trucks working. If you’re in Sunland Park or Chaparral, those pages are below.
Why Anthony’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Anthony sits in the Chihuahuan Desert, where summer temperatures routinely exceed 100°F and the sun does not forgive shortcuts. Exterior caulking, roofing membranes, and paint coatings degrade faster here than almost anywhere else in the state. That means a roof that would last 25 years in a milder climate might need real attention at year 18 here, and cheap window seals fail in a single season. We plan for that.
Underneath the surface, caliche runs through much of Anthony. This rock-hard calcium carbonate layer sits just below the topsoil, and it turns simple excavation into a serious job. Digging footings, trenching for utilities, or setting fence posts means bringing in equipment that can chew through it. Contractors who don’t know the soil will eat the cost later, which is exactly the kind of surprise change order we don’t do. And the housing stock here spans from 1970s slab-on-grade homes to older adobe and masonry structures to new tract construction. No two jobs look alike once you’re on site.
Pricing for Construction in Anthony
Every job in Anthony starts with a written estimate. Kitchen remodels typically fall between $35,000 and $75,000 depending on scope. Bathrooms run $18,000 to $35,000. A full roof replacement in this climate usually lands between $9,000 and $18,000 depending on product and pitch. Fences run $25 to $55 per linear foot. Driveways and paver work run $18 to $35 per square foot. Additions and ADUs are custom quoted after a site visit, because the caliche and setback questions change everything. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll put numbers on paper you can keep.

FAQs About Construction in Anthony
No. A single property in Anthony falls under one jurisdiction or the other, never both for the same structure. The complication is confirming which side of the state line your parcel sits on before work starts. State boundaries don’t always follow street lines or property fences. We verify the parcel-level state location before we pull any permit, and we won’t start demolition until the paperwork is confirmed.
Most Anthony kitchen remodels run between $35,000 and $75,000, depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, layout changes, and whether the slab foundation complicates plumbing moves. You’ll get a written estimate before you sign anything, and every allowance appears in writing. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Not unless you change the scope. If you add something or pick a different material, that change arrives as a written change order before any additional work happens. You approve the number before we move. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises.
Yes. Anthony’s caliche layer can add excavation time and equipment cost to footings, trenching, and any underground work. We’ll assess the soil on your specific lot during the estimate and factor it into the written price. You’ll know the soil cost before you sign, not after the backhoe arrives.
Yes. We pull permits and schedule inspections on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for us - that’s why we like him. And we pass every inspection before we call the job done.

What Anthony Customers Say
"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"Genuinely good builders and I would use them again. Site tidiness slipped a bit in the middle stretch and I had to mention it, after which it was spotless every evening."
- Marcus Threadgill"Every change to the price came as a written change order before the work happened, not as a surprise on the final bill. I did not know contractors still did that."
