If you’re planning a remodel, roof replacement, or home addition in Cameron Park, you’re looking at a construction market shaped by one thing more than any other: El Dorado County’s Wildland-Urban Interface building code. Chapter 7A requirements mean ignition-resistant siding, ember-resistant vents, and Class A roofing aren’t optional upgrades here, they’re the law on nearly every permitted job. Barrett & Sons Construction works in Cameron Park weekly, and we plan every estimate around the county’s permitting timeline and fire-hardening standards from day one. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get Tom Barrett or one of his sons, not a call center.

Why Cameron Park Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Two things come up again and again when Cameron Park homeowners tell us why they called. First, they want a contractor whose name is on the truck and whose face they’ll see at the Cameron Park hardware store next Saturday. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. Second, they’ve been burned by a price that changed after the handshake. That’s why every scope, every allowance, and every change order at Barrett & Sons arrives in writing before a single nail moves. No surprises at the end.
We work regularly in the Cambridge Oaks and Royal Equestrian neighborhoods, and we know what those sloped, oak-studded lots do to foundations, drainage, and roofing. You can verrify our license, our address, and Tom’s name before you sign anything. Look it up yourself.
Our standing offers apply in Cameron Park: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount. Every job is backed by the written 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Construction Services We Offer in Cameron Park
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen remodels in Cameron Park often mean bringing a 1970s or 1980s ranch-style layout into this century, which usually involves structural changes, not just cabinet swaps. We install KraftMaid and Cambria as standard options, and we pull permits on every eligible job because the inspector works for you, not for us.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Cameron Park.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathrooms in Cameron Park’s original housing stock tend to be small, dated, and sometimes hiding water damage from decades of foothill freeze-thaw cycles. We use Schluter waterproofing systems and Sterling or Grohe fixtures so the work holds up to the temperature swings up here.

Roofing
A roof in Cameron Park has to do more than keep rain out. Class A fire-rated materials are mandatory for most replacements in the WUI zone, and GAF shingles are what we install most often because they meet the code and carry a warranty you can actually read. We pull the permit and the inspection gets signed.
Learn more about our Roofing in Cameron Park.
Windows & Doors
Single-pane windows on a sloped lot mean heat loss in winter and a lot of stress on your HVAC in July. We replace them with Andersen or Marvin products, sized and flashed correctly for exterior walls that often have original 1960s framing behind them.
Learn more about our windows and doors services in Cameron Park by calling (877) 610-1318.
Fence Installation
Fencing in Cameron Park deals with something Sacramento contractors rarely see: freeze-thaw heaving and wildland fire setback requirements. We set posts below the frost line and use materials that won’t warp when the foothill wind hits them for the twentieth summer in a row.
Call us for fence installation in Cameron Park at (877) 610-1318.
Driveway & Pavers
Concrete flatwork in the 95682 cracks when winter freezes follow summer heat, and we see it every year. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with a base prepared for foothill soil movement, not for a flat Sacramento lot.
Call us for driveway and paver work in Cameron Park at (877) 610-1318.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in unincorporated El Dorado County means your permit routes through Placerville, not a city hall down the street. Homeowners who plan for that timeline are happier than the ones who don’t. We handle the plans, the county submittal, and the inspections.
Call us for home additions and ADUs in Cameron Park at (877) 610-1318.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Cameron Park
We work throughout the 95682, from the original 1960s subdivisions around Cambridge Road to the larger lots out toward the airport. Typical response time for an estimate is within a couple of days, depending on the season and the size of the job.

Why Cameron Park’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Cameron Park sits at roughly 1,500 to 2,000 feet in the Sierra foothills, and that elevation changes everything about how a house behaves. Summer temperatures run hotter and drier than Sacramento, and the persistent wind off the dry oak grassland isn’t a detail, it’s the reason your deck boards cup and your fences lean. Winter brings hard freezes and freeze-thaw cycles that crack exposed concrete and push against roofing. The housing stock, mostly ranch-style and split-level homes built from the 1960s through the 1980s, predates modern fire, energy, and seismic codes. When a remodel crosses a permit threshold, original wood siding, single-pane windows, and roofing often must be brought into WUI compliance at the same time. That’s not a contractor inventing scope, that’s the county requiring it.
And because Cameron Park is unincorporated, every permit routes through El Dorado County’s building department in Placerville. There is no local city hall to walk into. That adds time and distance to every project, and a contractor who doesn’t plan for it will hand you delays instead of a schedule. We plan for it.
One more wrinkle most homeowners never hear about until it bites them: Cameron Park Airport sits within the community, and FAA Part 77 imaginary surface restrictions apply to parcels along its approaches. Put a tall scaffold, a crane, or a tower on the wrong property, and you may trigger an FAA obstruction evaluation. We check for that before we bid.
Pricing for Construction in Cameron Park
Honest numbers matter to us, so here’s what you can expect to budget in Cameron Park at current labor and material rates. Kitchen remodels typically start around $45,000 and climb based on layout changes and WUI-triggered upgrades. Bathroom remodels run $18,000 to $35,000. Roof replacements on a typical Cameron Park ranch run $14,000 to $28,000 for Class A GAF shingles. Windows and doors, mid-range Andersen, budget $12,000 to $30,000 depending on count. Driveways and paver patios run $15 to $32 per square foot. ADUs are the big variable, $180,000 to $400,000 depending on site conditions, which on sloped oak lots can drive foundation costs quickly. Every price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. Call (877) 610-1318 for a line-item estimate on your specific project. Estimates are free.

FAQs About Construction in Cameron Park
Yes, in most cases. Cameron Park is inside El Dorado County’s designated Wildland-Urban Interface zone, so California Building Code Chapter 7A applies to nearly every new build and significant remodel. That means ignition-resistant siding, ember-resistant vents, and Class A roofing when the permit threshold is crossed. If a contractor tells you permits are optional up here, get a second opinion. Call (877) 610-1318 for one. It’s free.
Because Cameron Park is unincorporated, permits route through El Dorado County’s building department in Placerville, not a local city hall. Plan on several weeks for review, and longer if your project triggers fire or environmental review on a sloped lot. We coordinate submittals and inspections so you’re not chasing the county yourself. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk timeline.
A kitchen remodel in Cameron Park typically starts around $45,000 and goes up from there, especially when the original 1970s or 1980s layout requires structural work or WUI-triggered material upgrades. For a line-item quote on your specific kitchen, call (877) 610-1318. Estimates are free.
Not without a written change order you sign first. That’s the Barrett & Sons rule, and it’s been the rule since 1998. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want to see exactly how we price a job before you commit.
Yes. Permits are pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job, because the last contractor most Cameron Park homeowners used told them permits were optional. The inspector works for you, not for us, which is exactly why we like him. Call (877) 610-1318 and ask Tom about the last inspection he passed in the 95682.

What Cameron Park 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
