AfterConstruction Services in Anthony, TX
If you’re weighing a remodel, a roof, or an addition on a home anywhere in the 79821 ZIP, you already know the first question isn’t “how much” - it’s “who do I trust with a house that sits on a state line.” In Anthony, that question matters more than it does nearly anywhere else in Texas. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we work in Anthony every week, from the older streets near the border to the newer subdivisions pushing east. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a live person, day or night.

Why Anthony Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Our crews work in Anthony regularly, and the homes here have a specific character: mostly slab-on-grade single-family builds from the 1970s through the early 2000s, plus a fair number of older adobe and masonry structures that need a different kind of care. We’ve remodeled kitchens off Doniphan Drive, replaced roofs in the neighborhoods near the Anthony Municipal Park area, and handled fencelines where the property line itself raises the question of which state you’re standing in. Tom Barrett runs the company with his sons on-site most days. That’s not marketing language; that’s how the schedule works. When you call, you’ll talk to someone who knows the difference between an El Paso County permit and a Doña Ana County one, because jobs in Anthony routinely demand knowing both.
Construction Services We Offer in Anthony
Kitchen Remodeling
We rebuild Anthony kitchens around the way people actually cook here, with slab foundations and older plumbing layouts in mind. Cabinet lines like KraftMaid go in with written allowances, so the price you approve is the price that holds.

Bathroom Remodeling
Bathrooms in Anthony’s 1970s and 1980s homes often sit on cast-iron drain lines and tight stud bays. We plan for that before demo starts, not after.

Roofing
Anthony’s Chihuahuan Desert sun eats roofing materials faster than most of Texas, and a roof over 100°F works differently than one over 90°F. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems built for this exact UV load.

Windows & Doors
We carry Simonton and Ply Gem window lines suited to Anthony’s heat and the fine desert dust that finds its way into every seal. Proper flashing here isn’t optional; it’s the difference between a window that lasts 10 years and one that lasts 30.

Fence Installation
Fence posts in Anthony hit caliche sometimes 18 inches down, and we bring the equipment to set them properly instead of cutting corners. A leaning fence two summers later is not a workmanship warranty; it’s a warning sign.

Driveway & Pavers
Driveways here face extreme heat cycling and the occasional hard freeze, which cracks poured surfaces laid on unprepared ground. We handle base prep and compaction the way the desert demands, using Belgard and Techo-Bloc products.

Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Anthony means confirming which state the parcel sits in, then pulling permits through the right county. We’ve managed that dual-jurisdiction process on additions across the area.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Anthony
We’ve worked across Anthony’s residential pockets, from the established homes near Main Street and the border corridor to the newer tract builds on the eastern edge. If you’re within the 79821 ZIP, you’re in our normal service area, and typical response for an estimate runs a few days out.

Why Anthony’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
The caliche layer under Anthony is real, and anyone who’s planted a tree here knows it. For construction, it means excavation for footings, plumbing trenches, or even a driveway base often requires equipment beyond a standard trencher. That’s a cost and schedule factor specific to this area, not a generic warning.
Above ground, the sun is the aggressor. Summer highs above 100°F and UV levels that would make a Phoenix roofer nod in sympathy degrade roofing membranes, exterior caulking, and painted surfaces faster than contractors from wetter climates expect. Then winter brings the hard freeze that stresses masonry and any pipe run too shallow. A contractor who treats Anthony like a generic Texas town will misjudge both the ground and the sky. We don’t, because we’re here every week.

FAQs About Construction in Anthony
It depends on which side of the state line your parcel actually sits on, and we confirm that at the parcel level before pulling any permit. Anthony’s split jurisdiction means a Texas-licensed contractor can work on a New Mexico parcel only if properly licensed there too, so getting this right up front matters. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll check your address before you spend a dollar.
Most kitchen remodels in Anthony run $35,000 to $80,000, with the final number driven by cabinet grade, layout changes, and whether plumbing or electrical moves are needed. Every quote is line-itemed in writing, and change orders are issued before any scope change. Call for a free estimate on your specific kitchen.
If your project involves digging, yes, and you should plan for it. Caliche in Anthony can force specialized excavation for footings, plumbing trenches, and even fence post holes, adding cost and a few days to the schedule. We price it into the written quote from the start, not as a surprise after the digging begins.
A standard asphalt shingle roof replacement on a typical Anthony home takes about 2 to 4 days, depending on tear-off complexity and weather. The bigger variable here isn’t time, it’s the heat: our crews schedule tear-off and underlayment work to avoid the worst of the afternoon UV load. Call (877) 610-1318 for a roofing estimate.
Yes. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed through the correct county, whether that’s El Paso County or Doña Ana County. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way. If a contractor tells you permits are optional here, walk away.

What Anthony 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
