AfterConstruction Services in Colleyville, TX
Construction in Colleyville isn’t about putting up spec houses on empty land. It’s about reworking large custom homes that were built between the late 1980s and early 2000s and are now hitting the age where kitchens, roofs, windows, and mechanicals all need attention at once. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been owner-operated since 1998. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable before you sign anything. If you need a straight answer about a remodel, an addition, or a roof, call (877) 610-1318 and a live person picks up.

Why Colleyville Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Colleyville homeowners tend to ask for references, then call them. That works out well for us, because our work in neighborhoods like Tribute and Montclair Park is a ten-minute drive from most of the city. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom’s sons run the crews, and Tom is on-site most days. No franchise, no out-of-state call center, no strangers showing up in an unmarked van. Every job gets permits pulled and inspections signed, because the permit inspector works for you, not for me. Every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. And every completed job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
What to Look for in a Colleyville Contractor: Three Questions That Matter
After 29 years in this business, we can tell you the contractors who thrive in Colleyville answer three questions the same way every time.
First: who shows up? If the person quoting your job won’t be the person running it, you’re hiring a sales rep. In Colleyville, we’re working on 3,500 to 6,000 square foot custom homes with non-standard layouts and mixed framing. That kind of work needs a builder who will stand in your attic, not a project manager reading a spreadsheet.
Second: what happens when the price changes? Remodels uncover surprises. That’s not a red flag by itself. The red flag is a contractor who handles surprises verbally and bills them at the end. Our rule: scope in writing, allowances in writing, change orders in writing. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Third: will you pull the permit? Colleyville’s building department enforces standards that preserve neighborhood character, and skipping permits isn’t clever, it’s a liability. We pull every eligible permit and meet every inspection. If a contractor tells you permits are optional, walk.
Construction Services We Offer in Colleyville
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen Remodeling - Colleyville projects often involve solid-wood cabinetry and real hardwood that deserve to be reworked, not ripped out. We plan around what’s worth keeping and what’s past saving, and we install named brands like KraftMaid and Cambria so you can look up exactly what’s going into your home.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Colleyville.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling in Colleyville often starts with master baths from the 1990s: platform tubs, brass fixtures, and shower pans that are quietly failing. We rebuild wet areas with Schluter waterproofing systems and fixtures from names like Sterling and Grohe, and we document every allowance before the tile saw ever starts.

Roofing
Colleyville Roofing takes the full brunt of Texas hail, spring storms, and 100-degree summers. We install GAF roofing systems with written material warranties, and we won’t lay a single shingle until the permit is posted and the old decking is inspected underneath.
Learn more about our Roofing in Colleyville.
Windows & Doors
Older custom homes in Colleyville often need Windows & Doors - Colleyville specialists because oversized openings and entry doors won’t fit big-box replacements without significant rework. We measure for the actual opening, plan the trim and flashing, and install units from Andersen and Marvin that are sized to the house, not the aisle.
Fence Installation
Large lots on Colleyville’s clay soil mean fence posts rot at the base faster than homeowners expect. We set posts below the frost-affected zone and use pressure-treated lumber or steel where the soil holds moisture against the post all spring.
Driveway & Pavers
Concrete and paver work in Colleyville has to account for Blackland Prairie clay that moves more than most contractors plan for. We coordinate with foundation specialists where needed and install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with base prep that won’t fail after two wet springs.
Home Additions & ADU
Colleyville is nearly built out, so growing families either add second stories or go up over the garage. Before we quote, we check the city’s impervious-cover limits and setback rules, because a lot of people find out too late they can’t rebuild to the footprint they assumed.

Why Colleyville’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Colleyville sits on the Blackland Prairie’s expansive clay, and that single fact shapes more of your remodel than you’d think. The soil shrinks in dry North Texas summers and heaves in wet springs, which means slab foundations move. Before we touch interior finishes in a Colleyville home, we often coordinate with foundation specialists, because a 1995-built custom home with hairline drywall cracks may need piers before it needs paint. If you skip that step, you’re laying new tile over a slab that’s still moving.
Summer also matters for scheduling. Sustained 100-plus heat indexes limit concrete pour windows and push exterior mortar and caulk work to early mornings. We plan around that. And because Colleyville’s housing stock is dominated by custom builds from roughly 1985 to 2005, almost no two homes are framed the same way. That’s not a problem for us; it’s the whole reason we do site-specific planning instead of applying a formula. But it’s also why a contractor who treats your Colleyville remodel like a mid-week production job will get surprised, and surprise is expensive.

FAQs About Construction in Colleyville
Most Colleyville kitchen remodels fall between $45,000 and $120,000 depending on cabinet grade, stone selection, and how much structural work the existing floor plan requires. The final number is driven by written allowances you approve before we order anything, not by a guess we refine after the demo crew leaves. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free written estimate.
Only if the scope changes, and only after you receive and sign a written change order itemizing the new line-item cost. We don’t do verbal approvals, and we don’t hand you a surprise invoice at the end. That’s been our rule since 1998, and it’s written into every contract.
Yes, on every eligible job. Colleyville’s building department enforces standards specific to this city’s custom-home stock, and skipping permits can hurt you when you go to sell. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and stand there when the inspector arrives.
Kitchens typically run 6 to 12 weeks. Bathrooms, 3 to 6 weeks. Roof replacements, 2 to 5 days. Additions depend on scope, but most Colleyville additions run 3 to 6 months because of the permit process, foundation coordination, and city inspections. We’ll give you a written schedule before you sign, and we’ll update it in writing if anything shifts.
We offer a permanent 10% Senior & Veteran discount on all construction work, plus $40 off any repair over $200 and a free second opinion on any written estimate. If you have an estimate from another contractor, bring it in and we’ll walk through it line by line. We don’t charge a trip fee anywhere inside the county.

What Colleyville Customers Say
"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"Genuinely good builders and I would use them again. Site tidiness slipped a bit in the middle stretch and I had to mention it, after which it was spotless every evening."
- Marcus Threadgill"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."
