Why Bedford Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Bedford isn’t a city full of new construction. It’s a city of established neighborhoods where the houses are 40 to 60 years old, and the people who own them have usually been through at least one bad contractor experience before they find us. When homeowners along Bedford Road or in the neighborhoods near Central Drive call, they’re often calling because a previous contractor quoted one number over the phone and handed over a different bill at the end. That doesn’t happen with us. Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every surprise discovery behind a wall arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves.
Barrett & Sons has been owner-operated since 1998, and Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. We’ve earned a strong local reputation in Bedford and across the Mid-Cities by pulling permits on every eligible job and making sure the inspector signs off before we call the project finished. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why I like him. Our crew members are background-checked and uniformed on every visit, and they carry the Barrett & Sons name because Tom’s sons are the ones running the work.
Construction Services We Offer in Bedford
Kitchen Remodeling
Most Bedford Kitchen Remodeling projects we take on are in homes original to the 1960s and 1970s, which means closed-off footprints, outdated wiring, and cabinets that have seen better decades. We open up walls, reroute plumbing and electrical, and install brands like KraftMaid and Cambria so you can look up exactly what’s going into your home.

Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling in Bedford often reveals water damage behind original tile and undersized doorways that make aging in place difficult. We rebuild bathrooms properly, using systems like Schluter for waterproofing and brands like Sterling and Grohe for fixtures that hold up to Tarrant County’s hard water.

Roofing
Hail and wind take a toll on Bedford Roofing, and the clay soil movement beneath slab foundations can create stress cracks that travel up into rooflines. We install GAF roofing systems on homes throughout the 76021, 76022, and 76095 ZIP codes, and we write every repair or replacement scope down before the first shingle comes off.
Learn more about our Roofing in Bedford.
Windows & Doors
Original single-pane aluminum windows are common in Bedford’s ranch stock, and they leak conditioned air during both the 100°F summers and the wet, cold winters - which is why Windows & Doors - Bedford is one of our most requested services. We install Andersen and Marvin windows and doors, and we’ll show you the written quote before you commit to anything.
Learn more about our windows and doors work when you call (877) 610-1318.
Fence Installation
Bedford lots tend to be established and shaded, which means fence posts need proper setting in the shifting clay soil to avoid leaning within the first few years. We build fences that stay straight, and we handle any HOA requirements common to Mid-Cities neighborhoods.
Learn more about our fence installation by calling (877) 610-1318.
Driveway & Pavers
Expansive clay under Bedford means driveways crack if the base isn’t prepared correctly. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with drainage grading that accounts for the dramatic shrink-swell cycles this part of Tarrant County experiences every year.
Learn more about our driveway and paver work when you call (877) 610-1318.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding onto a Bedford ranch home means evaluating the existing slab and foundation movement before framing begins. We assess the structure, stabilize what needs stabilizing, pull permits, and build additions that won’t pull away from the original footprint as the clay below continues to breathe.
Learn more about our home additions and ADU work by calling (877) 610-1318.

Why Bedford’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Bedford is a fully built-out, landlocked Mid-Cities suburb. There are no vacant lots left, which means every construction project here is a renovation, a remodel, or an addition on a house that was built between roughly 1960 and 1985. Those houses sit on Tarrant County’s expansive clay soils, and decades of shrink-swell cycles from wet winters followed by baking, drought-stressed summers have shifted slabs and cracked load-bearing walls. Any addition or structural remodel in Bedford has to start with an honest assessment of what the foundation is doing now, not what the original blueprints said in 1972. We account for drainage grading on every project because water against a slab in this soil is a liability that shows up years later.
We also see a pattern in the older streets near central Bedford that newer contractors don’t always catch. Previous owners often added rooms or enclosed garages without permits under older Tarrant County rules, and that unpermitted work is hiding inside otherwise standard-looking houses. It surfaces during structural renovations, and it has to be re-inspected and remediated before a new permit can close. We know how to navigate that process without turning your project into a legal headache. The home page of our site, our home base, spells out exactly how we work.

FAQs About Construction in Bedford
A kitchen remodel in Bedford typically runs between $35,000 and $70,000, with the final number depending on whether you’re moving walls, what electrical upgrades the house needs, and which cabinet and countertop brands you choose. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, and we’ll walk the space with you before we put a single number on paper.
Yes, we pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job in Bedford. This matters more here than in newer cities because so many older Bedford homes have unpermitted additions or garage enclosures from decades past, and those have to be re-inspected before a new permit can close. We handle that process for you.
If the scope changes, the price can change, but only after you receive a written change order and approve it in writing. We don’t do surprise invoices. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t work that way. Call (877) 610-1318 to hear exactly how our written change order process works.
A typical home addition in Bedford takes 3 to 6 months from permit approval to final inspection, depending on the size of the addition and how much foundation preparation the existing slab requires. The clay soil here often means extra time at the front end for structural assessment and stabilization, and we’d rather get that right than rush to framing. Call (877) 610-1318 for a realistic timeline on your specific property.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise is a written guarantee on every construction and remodeling job we complete in Bedford. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom Barrett back to make it right. It’s written on the contract, not buried in fine print. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll show you a copy before you sign anything.
Yes, we offer a permanent 10% discount for seniors and veterans on every job in Bedford. We also offer $40 off any repair over $200 and no trip charge inside the county. Call (877) 610-1318 and mention which discount applies to you when you schedule your free estimate.

What Bedford Customers Say
"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"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
