Why Celina Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Celina has grown faster than almost any city in the country, and that growth has brought in a lot of out-of-town contracting operations looking to grab a piece of the new-construction market. Homeowners here tell us the same story again and again: a national company quoted one number on the phone, then showed up with a different one at the door. We run things differently. Tom Barrett puts his name, his address, and his license number on every contract, and his sons run the crews. When you see a Barrett & Sons truck in Light Farms or Mustang Lakes, the person stepping out of it answers to the name on the door.
We write every scope, every allowance, and every price change down on paper before work moves. No surprise invoices at the end. And every job we complete carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if something isn’t done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. Ask anyone in your neighborhood, or look up the license number yourself.
We also answer our own phone, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If a pipe bursts in Celina at 2 a.m. and you need to talk to someone about getting it fixed, you’ll talk to a person who knows our schedule and our crews, not a voicemail box.
Construction Services We Offer in Celina
Kitchen Remodeling
Most Celina kitchens were built to production-builder specs, which means builder-grade cabinets, laminate counters, and layout choices that favor speed over how you actually cook. We remodel kitchens with premium brands like KraftMaid and Cambria, and we pull permits on every eligible job. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Celina.
Bathroom Remodeling
From shower replacements to full bathroom additions, we handle the plumbing, tile, and waterproofing details that matter in a house sitting on expansive Collin County clay. We use Schluter waterproofing systems and Sterling and Grohe fixtures because they’re brands you can look up, not mystery stock off a van. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Celina.
Roofing
Celina sits in a high-frequency hail corridor, and we’ve replaced more storm-damaged roofs here than we can count. We install GAF shingles and back every roof with written documentation of what was done, what it cost, and when it was inspected. Learn more about our Roofing in Celina.
Windows & Doors
Production Windows & Doors in Celina work fine until they don’t. We replace them with Andersen and Marvin products that are built to handle Texas heat and high wind, and we make sure the flashing and envelope details are done right so you don’t inherit leaks.
Fence Installation
Celina lots run large, and a fence that’s set in shifting clay needs proper post depth and concrete. We build fences that stay straight through wet winters and dry summers alike.
Driveway & Pavers
We install pavers and driveways from Belgard and Techo-Bloc, with base preparation that accounts for the shrink-swell cycle common to the Black Land Prairie. No shortcuts on compaction.
Home Additions & ADU
If you’re adding square footage to your Celina home, we handle the structural engineering, permits, and inspections from start to finish. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. That’s why we like him.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Celina
Our crews are working in Celina neighborhoods every week. You’ll see us most often in these communities:
- Light Farms
- Mustang Lakes
- Sutton Fields
- Bluewood
- Lilyana
For most jobs in the Celina area, our typical response time to get a crew scheduled is measured in days, not weeks. If you need a second opinion on a written estimate you already have, we’ll come out and walk the property with you at no charge.
Why Celina’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Celina sits squarely on the North Texas Black Land Prairie, where the soil is highly expansive Vertisol clay. It swells with winter and spring rains, then shrinks and cracks during summer drought. That movement puts stress on slabs, foundations, and any structure that’s not properly graded and engineered, which is why Celina Roofing and other exterior work needs to be done right. Production builders here use post-tension slabs for a reason, and any addition or hardscape work we do has to respect that same reality. We’ve seen projects in Celina where a poorly prepared paver base started shifting within a year because nobody accounted for the soil.
The other thing to know about Celina construction: Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 changed how homes here are built. Pipe failures during that freeze permanently elevated builder standards around pipe insulation and exterior envelope detailing. If you’re doing Bathroom Remodeling - Celina or adding a room, we pay close attention to where pipes run through exterior walls and how they’re insulated. The building code changed for a reason, and we build to exceed it.

FAQs About Construction in Celina
A mid-range kitchen remodel in Celina typically runs $35,000 to $75,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether you’re moving plumbing or electrical. Production-builder kitchens often need more work than homeowners expect because the original build was optimized for speed, not longevity. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Only if you change the scope, and even then, you’ll see the new number in writing before anything moves. Every allowance, every price change, every change order arrives on paper first. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. That’s how we do it in Celina, and everywhere else.
We pull permits and pass inspections on every eligible job, and we publish our license number so you can verify it yourself. Celina’s building department is busy, and inspection wait times can stretch. We account for that in our scheduling so deadlines don’t slip. The inspector works for you, not for us.
A bathroom remodel might take two to three weeks. A full kitchen can run six to eight weeks depending on cabinet lead times and the city’s inspection schedule. Home additions are longer. We’ll give you a written timeline up front and update it in writing if anything changes. No vague promises, just dates on paper.
Yes. We offer free estimates, no trip charge inside the county, and a free second opinion on any written estimate you already have from another contractor. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours.

"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."
