Owning a home in Banning means contending with the San Gorgonio Pass every single day. The wind that funnels through this corridor doesn’t just rattle fences and strip shingles – it works its way into framing, loosens fasteners, and dries out wood decades ahead of schedule. When something fails, you need a contractor who understands why it failed here, not one who treats Banning like any other stop along the I-10. Tom Barrett and his sons have spent years working on homes throughout the 92220 ZIP code, and they know what the pass does to a house. If you’re looking at a kitchen that’s showing its age, a roof that’s losing the fight against 60 mph gusts, or a bathroom that hasn’t been touched since the Carter administration, call (877) 610-1318. A live person answers, day or night.

Why Banning Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in a city like Banning, where homeowners have learned to be skeptical of contractors who roll in from somewhere else, quote a number on the phone, and hand over a different invoice at the door. Barrett & Sons operates differently: every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. Allowances go on paper first. Permits get pulled on every eligible job, and the inspector signs off before we call it done. The 90-Day Done Right Promise sits in writing on every contract – if something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back to fix it.
Homeowners in Sun Lakes and the neighborhoods off Wilson Street have hired us for additions, remodels, and full roof replacements. The work holds up because we build for Banning’s actual conditions, not for some idealized California suburb that doesn’t exist here. Background-checked crew members show up in uniform, and Tom’s sons run the crews most days. You’ll see the same faces at the hardware store on Saturday.
Construction Services We Offer in Banning
Kitchen Remodeling
A Banning kitchen from the 1960s or 70s wasn’t built for how families live now. We replace dated layouts with functional ones and install brands like KraftMaid and Cambria that you can look up before you commit. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Banning.
Bathroom Remodeling
Older Banning homes often have bathrooms with failing waterproofing and ventilation that can’t handle the pass’s dry, gusting conditions. We rebuild them with proper moisture barriers and materials that won’t quit in five years. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Banning.
Roofing
The San Gorgonio Pass chews through roofing materials faster than almost anywhere in the Inland Empire. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with the uplift ratings and fastening schedules Banning’s wind-zone plan check demands. Learn more about our Roofing in Banning.
Windows & Doors
Air leakage around old windows is a quiet thief in Banning, and it gets worse when the winter freezes hit and summer temps climb past 100. We install Andersen and Marvin products sized and flashed correctly for pass-wind exposure. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through what your house needs.
Fence Installation
Fences in Banning have a hard life. We set posts deep, use hardware rated for sustained wind, and build fences that won’t lean after the first Santa Ana season. Call for a free estimate – no trip charge inside the county.
Driveway & Pavers
Triple-digit summer heat and hard winter freezes crack concrete flatwork in Banning faster than homeowners expect. We install paver driveways and patios using Techo-Bloc and Belgard systems with properly compacted bases that resist that freeze-thaw cycle. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Banning means passing the city’s wind-zone plan check, which requires documented uplift calculations and shear wall bracing that most out-of-area builders have never submitted. We handle the engineering, the permits, and the inspections from start to finish. Call to discuss your project.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Banning
We work across Banning regularly, from the retirement communities near Sun Lakes to the older subdivisions clustered around Ramsey Street and the homes east of San Gorgonio Avenue. Typical response time for an estimate anywhere in the 92220 area is one to two business days, though we can often get out sooner when a roof is actively leaking.

Why Banning’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Banning sits squarely in the San Gorgonio Pass, one of the strongest natural wind corridors in Southern California. Under the California Building Code, the city falls inside a high-wind exposure zone, which means permitted construction projects – new builds and major additions especially – must be engineered and inspected to elevated wind-load standards. That includes hurricane-style roof-to-wall connections and shear wall bracing. The same crew might never file those calculations on a comparable project eight miles west in Beaumont.
Most of Banning’s housing stock dates from the 1950s through the 1980s and predates modern wind and seismic code. Decades of pass-wind exposure have done real damage: loosened fasteners, dried-out framing, failed roof-deck adhesion. Add in winter freezes and triple-digit summer heat, and you get a combination that desiccates wood and cracks concrete far faster than in lower, more sheltered cities. Any contractor working in Banning needs to understand this before they open up a wall. We do.

FAQs About Construction in Banning
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Banning?
A kitchen remodel in Banning typically runs $28,000 to $75,000, with the final number depending on cabinet grade, countertop choice, and whether you’re changing the layout. Entry-level remodels with stock cabinets and laminate counters land at the lower end; KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria quartz push toward the upper range. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free written estimate with line-item pricing on your specific kitchen.
Do I need a permit for construction work in Banning?
Yes, most construction work in Banning requires a permit, and the city’s wind-zone designation means plan checks often demand uplift calculations and shear wall documentation that neighboring cities don’t require. We pull permits on every eligible job and handle inspections from first nail to final sign-off. The inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly how we like it.
Will the price change once work starts?
Only if you approve it in writing. Every scope change, allowance adjustment, and price update arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. If you don’t sign it, the price doesn’t move. That’s been our policy since 1998, and it’s how we’ve kept our reputation intact in Banning.
How long does a roof replacement take in Banning?
Most roof replacements in Banning take two to five working days, depending on roof size, pitch, tear-off requirements, and weather. Wind in the pass can delay work on exposed roof decks, so we schedule accordingly and communicate daily. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific roof.
Do you offer any discounts for seniors or veterans in Banning?
We offer a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans on all construction and remodeling work. We also offer $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and no trip charge anywhere inside Riverside County. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate.

What Banning Customers Say
"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"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
