AfterConstruction Services in Boerne, TX
Finding a construction crew in Boerne that shows up when they say they will, pulls the permits, and doesn’t hand you a surprise invoice at the end is harder than it should be.

When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers, and the crews you’ll see on your job are led by Tom’s sons, not strangers dispatched from a call center. Boerne is our home turf, and we treat every project in the 78006 and 78015 ZIP codes like our own name is on it, because it is.

Why Boerne Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
The homeowners we work with in Boerne have usually been burned before. They hired a national outfit that quoted one price on the phone and showed up with different numbers on the paperwork. That’s why we put everything in writing, every single time. Every scope, every allowance, every price change gets issued as a written change order before a single nail moves. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. That’s the point.
We’ve done kitchen remodels in Napa Oaks, bathroom renovations in Esperanza, and fence installations throughout the older ranch-style streets near downtown Boerne. The homes in 78015 are largely slab-on-grade builds from the 2010s, and the 78006 core mixes Hill Country ranch houses with historic German-settler-era structures. We know how both types are put together, and more importantly, what breaks first in each. A permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
We answer the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state call center. When you call about a project in Boerne, you get a person who knows the difference between a Napa Oaks slab foundation and a downtown pier-and-beam.
Construction Services We Offer in Boerne
Kitchen Remodeling
A Kitchen Remodeling - Boerne project should survive Hill Country humidity, holiday cooking, and a decade of daily use without the cabinets delaminating or the countertops staining. We install KraftMaid and Cambria because they hold up, and we pull permits on every eligible kitchen job in Boerne so the work passes inspection the first time.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Boerne.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling - Boerne projects range from 1970s ranch-style fixtures downtown to newer builder-grade setups in Esperanza and Napa Oaks. We use Schluter waterproofing systems and fixtures from Sterling and Grohe, and we handle the plumbing, tile, and ventilation the right way so you’re not fighting mold in two years.
Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Boerne.
Roofing
Boerne sits at about 1,400 feet, and the thunderstorms that roll through the Hill Country can be violent. Our Boerne Roofing crews install GAF roofing systems with fire-rated assemblies, and we pay attention to the drainage and flashing details that matter when Cibolo Creek’s watershed gets hammered with runoff.
Learn more about our Roofing in Boerne.
Windows & Doors
Old ranch homes in the 78006 core lose a lot of energy through single-pane windows and warped doors. We install Windows & Doors in Boerne using Andersen and Marvin products, sized and flashed for Hill Country weather, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair or a full replacement makes more sense for your home.
Fence Installation
Fence posts in Boerne hit limestone fast. We use rock saws and pneumatic breakers where needed, and we set posts deep enough to handle the freeze-thaw cycles and the cedar and live oak terrain that defines this part of the Hill Country.
Driveway & Pavers
Driveways in Boerne need proper base preparation and drainage planning, or the first heavy storm turns them into a washout. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with the impervious cover considerations that Edwards Aquifer rules require in this area.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Boerne means dealing with limestone excavation and Edwards Aquifer regulations. We handle the site work, the permits, and the construction, and every change order lands in writing before the work proceeds.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Boerne
Our crews work throughout Boerne, from the master-planned communities in 78015 to the older core in 78006. Here are a few of the neighborhoods where you’ll see our trucks most often:
- Esperanza
- Napa Oaks
- Downtown Boerne
- Champion Heights
- Kendall Creek Estates
Typical response time for a Boerne estimate is a phone call away, and the estimate itself is free. If you’re inside the county, there’s no trip charge.
Why Boerne’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Boerne sits atop the Texas Hill Country’s Cretaceous limestone karst. That means nearly every excavation, foundations, utility trenches, even fence post holes, risks hitting solid bedrock just inches below grade. Contractors who do most of their work in the San Antonio flatlands often don’t own the rock saws and pneumatic breakers this ground requires. We do, because we work in Boerne constantly. It changes the schedule and the cost, and any honest bid has to account for it.
On top of the rock, Boerne channels fast-moving thunderstorm runoff through the Cibolo Creek watershed. Site drainage and impervious cover management aren’t optional details here, they’re the difference between a driveway that drains and one that washes out. And because a good portion of Boerne’s developable land falls within the Edwards Aquifer Contributing or Recharge Zone, TCEQ and Edwards Aquifer Authority rules on impervious cover caps and BMPs apply to many projects. Out-of-area contractors who quote standard Bexar County permitting often get this wrong at the bid stage. We don’t, because we work with these rules on a regular basis.
There’s also the fire exposure. The cedar and live oak terrain around Boerne creates real wildfire risk, which is why we lean toward fire-rated roofing and exterior materials more often than we would for an equivalent suburban job in flatlands construction. The housing stock reflects all of this, too. 78015 exploded with master-planned subdivisions like Esperanza and Napa Oaks built since the 2010s on former ranchland, large slab-on-grade homes engineered around shallow limestone. The 78006 core is older Hill Country ranch-style and historic German-settler-era downtown structures, which sometimes call for period-sensitive renovation approaches. Both types of homes show up in our schedule every month.
Pricing for Construction in Boerne
Honest pricing in Boerne has to account for the limestone. That’s not a markup, it’s reality. Here’s what we typically see for common projects in this area:
- Kitchen remodel: $38,000 to $85,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether the layout changes.
- Bathroom remodel: $18,000 to $42,000 for a full gut and rebuild with Schluter waterproofing.
- Roof replacement: $11,000 to $28,000 depending on pitch, square footage, and material class.
- Fence installation: $2,800 to $9,000, with rock drilling adding cost per post when the limestone sits shallow.
- Driveway or pavers: $9,000 to $32,000 depending on paver brand and drainage requirements.
Every price change comes as a written change order before work happens. That’s not a sales pitch. It’s the rule. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, and remember the estimate is free.

FAQs About Construction in Boerne
Kitchen remodels in Boerne typically run between $38,000 and $85,000, with the spread driven by cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether you’re reconfiguring walls or staying in the existing footprint.

Not on our watch. Every allowance, every scope, and every price change is issued as a written change order before any work proceeds. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. You’ll sign off on every dollar before it’s spent.
Yes. Permits are pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job. Boerne sits in a more complex regulatory zone than standard Bexar County because of Edwards Aquifer rules, and the permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.

What Boerne Customers Say
"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."
- Xiomara Benavides"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."
