Why Cameron Park Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Most of our Cameron Park clients have already been through the wringer with a big-name outfit that quoted one number and delivered another. That’s why Tom Barrett put his name, his address, and his license number out in the open from the day he founded the company in 1998. You can look us up before you sign anything. His sons run the crews, and Tom is on-site most days. If something’s not right, you don’t file a ticket with an out-of-state call center. You call Tom. He lives twenty minutes away, and he answers.
In neighborhoods like Cambridge Oaks and Ponderosa Pines, we’ve rebuilt kitchens, re-roofed ranches, and replaced window walls with the permits pulled and the inspections signed. Every scope change, every allowance, every price adjustment comes to you as a written change order before a single nail moves. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We also publish four standing offers: $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 & Veteran discount. These are printed, not whispered.
Construction Services We Offer in Cameron Park
Kitchen Remodeling
Most Kitchen Remodeling in Cameron Park projects start with kitchens dating to the 1970s and 1980s build-out, with layouts that fight modern living and cabinets that have seen better decades. We install KraftMaid and Cambria by name, and we write every allowance on paper before it becomes a surprise.

Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling - Cameron Park projects often start with original tile and single-sink vanities that don’t serve today’s households. We handle Schluter waterproofing systems, Sterling fixtures, and Grohe trim, with the county inspector’s sign-off on every permitted job.

Roofing
Cameron Park Roofing carries a heavier load than most: Chapter 7A fire code, freeze-thaw cycles, and summer heat that bakes shingles into brittleness. We install GAF roofing systems to Class A standards and pull the permit every time the county requires it, which is most of the time.
Learn more about our Roofing in Cameron Park.
Windows & Doors
Single-pane aluminum windows are common in Cameron Park and they leak energy all year. Andersen and Marvin units hold up better in freeze-thaw cycles and meet the wildfire hardening rules that now apply to most remodels.

Fence Installation
Lot lines on sloped, oak-studded parcels make fencing in this community a real project, not a weekend errand. We set posts deep enough for foothill freezes and keep every run square on uneven ground.

Driveway & Pavers
Winter freeze-thaw cycles crack flatwork here in ways valley contractors rarely see, so sub-base preparation matters more than the paver on top. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc systems built for Cameron Park’s temperature swings.

Home Additions & ADU
El Dorado County’s ADU rules allow more flexibility than many city jurisdictions, but WUI fire code still applies to most additions. We handle the county permitting from Placerville, the FAA checks where needed, and the final inspection sign-off.

Why Cameron Park’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Cameron Park sits squarely in El Dorado County’s designated Wildland-Urban Interface zone, and that single fact changes nearly every job we quote. New builds and significant remodels must comply with California Building Code Chapter 7A: ignition-resistant siding, ember-resistant vents, Class A roofing, and defensible-space grading. Those rules don’t exist in flatland Sacramento suburbs. Because Cameron Park is unincorporated, every permit routes through El Dorado County’s building department in Placerville rather than a local city hall. That adds time and distance to every timeline, and homeowners who plan around it get better results than those who don’t.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Cameron Park was built out as a master-planned community from the 1960s through the 1980s, leaving a dominant pattern of ranch-style and split-level homes on sloped, oak-studded lots that predate modern fire-hardening, energy, and seismic codes. We routinely uncover original wood siding, single-pane windows, and roofing that must be brought into WUI compliance the moment a permit threshold is crossed. It’s not optional, and a contractor who tells you it is has never sat through a Cameron Park inspection.
At roughly 1,500 to 2,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada foothills, Cameron Park gets hotter and drier than Sacramento in summer but also takes hard freezes and freeze-thaw cycles in winter. The persistent summer wind across dry oak grassland means the fire risk driving these codes is not theoretical. It’s the defining physical reality of every lot in the ZIP. And if your project runs near Cameron Park Airport, some parcels along the approaches face FAA Part 77 obstruction evaluations for tall scaffolding or a crane. We’ve navigated that before, and we’ll tell you upfront if it applies to yours.
Pricing for Construction in Cameron Park
Here’s what we tell neighbors in this ZIP, and it’s the same spread we’d give over the fence.

FAQs About Construction in Cameron Park
Most kitchen remodels in Cameron Park land between $35,000 and $80,000, with WUI compliance and county permit timelines affecting the final number. A mid-range refresh with KraftMaid or Cambria cabinets and a full tile package typically starts around $45,000. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, and remember estimates are free.
Yes, in almost every case, because Cameron Park is unincorporated and El Dorado County handles all building permits from Placerville. Fire-hardening code under Chapter 7A applies to most remodels that touch siding, roofing, or structure. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and the inspector works for you, not for me. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’ve been told permits are optional on a job you’re planning.
Only if the scope changes, and only after you sign a written change order that shows the new number. No allowances float verbally. No surprise invoice appears at the end. That’s how we’ve run jobs since 1998, and it is written into the 90-Day Done Right Promise on every contract. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate with that promise in writing.
Permit routing through El Dorado County adds time compared to cities with their own building departments, so plan a few extra weeks for most mid-sized projects. A bathroom remodel might run two to four weeks of construction time, while a full kitchen or addition can stretch two to four months depending on WUI requirements and inspection scheduling. Call (877) 610-1318 and give us the address; we’ll check the county’s current timeline before we quote.
It’s a written guarantee on every construction and remodeling job. If something’s not done right, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right, one call. It’s not buried in fine print. It’s printed on the contract. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll show you a copy before you sign anything with a truck that says Barrett & Sons on the door.
