AfterConstruction Services in Cedar Park, TX
If you own a home in Cedar Park built between roughly 1998 and 2008, you’re likely noticing things the original builder hoped you wouldn’t. Hairline cracks running across the bedroom ceiling. A back patio that now slopes toward the house. Windows that stick in August and leak in March. You’re not imagining it: Cedar Park’s first big building wave has hit the age where systemic shortcuts start surfacing all at once. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve spent nearly three decades fixing exactly these problems. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a live person who understands Cedar Park’s specific housing stock, not an out-of-state call center.

Why Cedar Park Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still puts his name on every contract. His sons run the crews. That structure matters in a city like Cedar Park, where homeowners in Buttercup Creek and Forest Oaks have learned the hard way that the company that quotes one price on the phone isn’t always the company that shows up. We publish our license number, our address, and Tom’s name. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is why we pull permits on every eligible job and get inspections signed. Our crews are background-checked and wear the Barrett & Sons name on their shirts, and when you call at 2 a.m. because a storm tore off flashing on Parmer Lane, a live person answers. Not a voicemail box.
In Cedar Park specifically, we’ve worked through kitchen remodels in Forest Oaks where the original slab had moved enough to crack the existing tile, and we’ve replaced fences in Buttercup Creek where the builder-grade posts rotted at ground level within a decade. Those jobs taught us what Cedar Park’s soil and building era demand, and that knowledge is now baked into how we bid and how we build.
Construction Services We Offer in Cedar Park
Kitchen Remodeling in Cedar Park
Cedar Park kitchens from the early-2000s boom are heavy on builder oak and light on actual storage. We install KraftMaid and Cambria products, and we handle the slab adjustments that older Cedar Park homes often need before new tile goes down. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Cedar Park.
Bathroom Remodeling in Cedar Park
Bathroom remodels in Cedar Park frequently involve slab work for drain line moves, which means locating post-tension cables before any saw touches concrete. We do that scanning first, then build. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Cedar Park.
Roofing in Cedar Park
Cedar Park sits in a severe hail corridor, and we carry GAF and CertainTeed systems rated for this exact weather pattern. If hail has hit your neighborhood in the last five years, call us before the insurance adjuster does. Learn more about our Roofing in Cedar Park.
Windows and Doors
Leaky windows in Cedar Park are usually a flashing problem, not a glass problem. We install Andersen and Marvin products, and we re-flash properly, which matters on homes built during the fast-track early-2000s cycle.
Fence Installation
Cedar Park’s Vertisol clay expands and contracts so aggressively that fence posts set in concrete still shift. We set posts deeper and use materials that handle the movement without pulling apart.
Driveway and Pavers
We use Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers because they hold up under Cedar Park’s drought-to-downpour cycles. A paver driveway done wrong here will look like a washboard within three years.
Home Additions and ADU
Adding square footage in Cedar Park means cutting into post-tension slabs and reworking drainage grades that have settled toward the foundation. We plan for both before we bid, so you don’t get surprised mid-project.

Why Cedar Park’s Climate and Housing Affect Construction
Cedar Park sits on the eastern edge of the Edwards Plateau, where shallow limestone is covered by a layer of Vertisol clay that shrinks in drought and swells when rain returns. Homes here were mostly built on post-tension concrete slabs poured quickly during drought years, and those slabs have moved through repeated wet-dry cycles ever since. Contractors who cut into these slabs for plumbing or additions without first locating the embedded steel cables with ground-penetrating radar are gambling with the structural integrity of your house. We scan before every cut.
There’s also a pattern we see across 78613 subdivisions: drainage grades set to builder minimum spec have settled toward foundations instead of away from them. On a bathroom remodel that would be routine elsewhere, we often find we need to regrade the perimeter first. And because Cedar Park sits in Texas hail country, roofing and exterior envelope work here is driven as much by storm cycles as by homeowner preference. A roof installed in July behaves differently once November rains rehydrate the clay under the house.

FAQs About Construction in Cedar Park
A builder-grade kitchen refresh in Cedar Park typically runs $28,000 to $55,000, while a full custom remodel with structural work and premium materials can exceed $80,000. The slab movement common in older Cedar Park homes often adds unplanned subfloor correction, which is why we bid with that in mind from the start. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Yes. Every eligible job includes permits pulled and inspections signed by Cedar Park’s building department. We don’t treat permits as optional, because the inspector works for you, not for me. If a contractor tells you a permit isn’t needed for structural work in Cedar Park, get a second opinion from us, free.
Only if the scope changes, and only in writing. Every scope adjustment, every allowance adjustment, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. No surprise invoices at the end. That’s a Barrett & Sons rule since 1998.
A bathroom remodel runs two to four weeks, a standard kitchen four to eight weeks. Cedar Park jobs can take slightly longer when slab corrections or drainage regrading are required, which is common in 78613 homes built on expansive clay. We’ll give you a written schedule before we start.
Yes. Every job comes with our 90-Day Done Right Promise written on the contract: if it’s not done right, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right, one call. Beyond that, manufacturer warranties apply on every premium brand we install. Call (877) 610-1318 with any questions about coverage.

A live person answers, we’ll schedule a free estimate, and you’ll get written numbers you can compare line by line. Tom’s sons will be the ones on your street.

What Cedar Park 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."
