AfterConstruction Services in Cedar Hill, TX
When a Cedar Hill homeowner calls us about a remodel, a roof, or a room addition, the first thing we do is look at where the house sits. West of Highway 67, up on the escarpment, you’re likely dealing with limestone shelf rock under shallow topsoil. East side, down by 75104? That’s Blackland Prairie clay that shrinks in July and heaves in October. Construction in Cedar Hill isn’t one type of work. It’s two or three different jobs depending on which side of the hill you built on, and we plan for that before the first estimate goes out. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come look at your lot, not just your house.

Why Cedar Hill Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still answers the phone. That matters in a town like Cedar Hill, where word travels fast through neighborhoods like High Pointe, Lake Ridge, and Waterford Oaks. When we finish a Kitchen Remodeling - Cedar Hill project off West Belt Line Road or replace a roof above Joe Pool Lake, the neighbors notice. The crews are Tom’s sons and their teams, background-checked and uniformed, not strangers from a call center dispatch board.
Every contract carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back. One call. He also publishes his name, address, and license number, so you can check him out before signing anything. Around Cedar Hill, we’ve found that’s what people want: a contractor they can look up, a crew they’ll see again, and a price that doesn’t change without a written change order.
Construction Services We Offer in Cedar Hill
Kitchen Remodeling
A Cedar Hill kitchen remodel often means opening up a 1990s floor plan and working around the slab. We carry KraftMaid and Cambria, and we handle the permits and inspections too.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Cedar Hill.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling - Cedar Hill projects in that same 20-to-30-year-old housing stock show their age fast: builder-grade valves, tired tile, poor ventilation. We quote scope, allowances, and change orders in writing before work begins.
Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Cedar Hill.
Roofing
Cedar Hill Roofing faces extra challenges because elevation means roofs up here take more sustained wind than down the hill. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems rated for that exposure, and we pull permits and meet the inspector on every job.
Learn more about our Roofing in Cedar Hill.
Windows & Doors
Wind loads and that North Texas sun are hard on seals and frames. We install Windows & Doors in Cedar Hill using Andersen, Marvin, Simonton, and PGT units sized and flashed for local conditions.
Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on windows and doors.
Fence Installation
Fence posts in clay or rock need the right depth and the right concrete. We set posts to handle our soil, not a textbook from somewhere flat and sandy.
Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a fence estimate.
Driveway & Pavers
Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers over a proper base hold up better than poured slabs on shrink-swell clay. We excavate for the soil you actually have, including rock when we hit it 18 inches down.
Call (877) 610-1318 for driveway and paver pricing.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Cedar Hill means matching your existing slab foundation type and tying into 1990s or 2000s framing. We do both, with written change orders on every allowance.
Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your addition.

Why Cedar Hill’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Cedar Hill sits on a geological escarpment, one of the highest points in the DFW metroplex. That elevation shows up in two ways on a construction site. First, the wind. Roofs, siding, and window seals up here age faster than the same materials down in DeSoto or Lancaster. Second, the dirt. On the higher western side of town, crews hit limestone and caliche between 18 and 36 inches down. On the eastern side, it’s deep, expansive Blackland Prairie clay. Sometimes both show up on one lot.
Most Cedar Hill homes were built during the 1990s and 2000s boom, brick veneer on post-tension slabs. Those slabs are now 20 to 30 years old, sitting on clay that shrinks in drought and heaves after rain. When we open up a wall for a remodel or tie into a foundation for an addition, we often find builder-grade framing and mechanical rough-ins from that era. We bring those up to current code. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why we like him.
Pricing for Construction in Cedar Hill
What should a Cedar Hill homeowner budget? Kitchen remodels here typically run $45,000 to $90,000 depending on layout changes and finish level. Bathrooms run $25,000 to $50,000. Roofing on a typical 2,500-square-foot home falls between $12,000 and $22,000 depending on pitch and system. Windows and doors vary widely by opening count and brand. The honest answer is that your lot, your slab, and your existing framing dictate more than any brochure price. We quote fixed pricing with written change orders, so the number you see is the number you pay. No surprises, ever.

FAQs About Construction in Cedar Hill
Most Cedar Hill kitchen remodels fall between $45,000 and $90,000, with layout changes and premium finishes driving the top of that range. The slab and existing framing often add scope once we open the walls. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written estimate, free of charge.
Only if you change the scope, and even then, every price change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. No surprise invoices at the end. That’s how Tom has run this company since 1998. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your project.
Yes, on every eligible job. We pull permits and meet the inspector. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. If you’ve had a contractor tell you permits were optional, call us instead: (877) 610-1318.
We plan for both. On the high western side, crews bring rock saws and pneumatic hammers when we know we’ll hit limestone at 18 to 36 inches. On the clay side, we design drainage and foundation details for shrink-swell movement. The estimate covers the soil you have, not a generic assumption. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a site visit.
That depends on scope, weather, and what we find inside your walls. A bathroom might take three to five weeks. A full addition runs longer. We’ll give you a realistic schedule in writing before work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and timeline.

What Cedar Hill Customers Say
"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."
- Rosalie Pemberton"Came back a year later to sort a door that had dropped as the frame settled. No charge and no argument about whether it was covered."
