AfterConstruction Services in New Territory, TX
Most construction requests we take in New Territory fall into two buckets: the house is showing its age and needs real work done right, or the family needs more room and doesn’t want to move. The typical home here was built in a single wave between the late 1980s and mid-1990s, so roofs, windows, kitchens, and baths all tend to hit end-of-life around the same time. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we work in New Territory every week. Whether you’re dealing with a 30-year-old roof or planning a kitchen that needs HOA sign-off before the first cabinet order, call (877) 610-1318 and talk to someone who knows this community’s rules as well as its houses.

Why New Territory Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and put his name on the truck. His sons run the crews. When you hire us, the person standing in your kitchen during the estimate is the same person who will answer the phone when you call about the job three weeks in. That matters to homeowners in New Territory, where the HOA makes an extra layer of approvals part of every project. We know the architectural review board timeline. We know which Fort Bend County permit office handles your street. And we know that a stop-work order from the HOA mid-project is the fastest way to blow a schedule.
We serve homes throughout the 77487 ZIP code, including the established sections of New Territory along the community’s main boulevards and the newer enclaves near the Sugar Land line. Homeowners here don’t want a national outfit that subcontracts the work to whoever’s available. They want one phone number, one name, and one team that shows up dressed like they belong on the property. That’s what we do, and we back every completed job with our written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If we didn’t do it right, Tom comes back. One call.
Construction Services We Offer in New Territory
Kitchen Remodeling
New Territory kitchens from the early 1990s were built with narrow galley layouts, fluorescent soffits, and original cabinets that are usually past saving. We open up walls, rebuild floor plans, and install cabinetry from KraftMaid and stone from Cambria, brands you can walk into a showroom and put your hands on. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling - New Territory services.

We gut them properly, repair water damage beneath the surface, and rebuild with waterproofing systems that will outlast the next three owners. See our Bathroom Remodeling - New Territory page for details.

Roofing
New Territory’s original roofs are now past the 25-year mark, and many are showing granule loss, lifted shingles, and signs of hailstorm damage from recent Fort Bend County weather. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems rated for Gulf Coast heat and wind, with permits pulled and inspections signed. Explore our Roofing in New Territory options.

Windows & Doors
Builders in New Territory’s single-phase boom installed aluminum-frame windows that now sweat, stick, and leak conditioned air. We replace them with Andersen and Marvin units sized to the original openings, handling the HOA’s exterior appearance requirements as part of the quote so you don’t get surprised later.

Fence Installation
Fort Bend County clay moves, and so do fence posts if they aren’t set below the shrink-swell zone. We install cedar and treated pine fencing with posts deep enough to handle New Territory soil, and we check your HOA’s fence style rules before ordering a single board.
Learn more about fence installation in New Territory by calling (877) 610-1318.
Driveway & Pavers
Driveways and paver patios in New Territory sit on expansive clay that heaves with every wet-dry season. We install paver systems from Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers on properly compacted base layers that keep the surface flat through drought and rain cycles.
Learn more about driveway and paver work in New Territory by calling (877) 610-1318.
Home Additions & ADU
With two-story floor plans common to New Territory’s original buildout, a first-floor addition often means tying into post-tension slab, which requires forensics before framing. We assess slab condition, pull the Fort Bend County permit, and handle the HOA’s pre-approval alongside the engineering.

Why New Territory’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
New Territory sits on what geologists call the Beaumont and Houston Black clay formations, and any local contractor who hasn’t watched a slab gate or a sidewalk edge lift two inches through a dry summer hasn’t been paying attention. This clay shrinks when it’s dry and swells when it rains, which means post-tension slab movement is a fact of life here, not an anomaly. Before we tie an addition into an existing foundation or run a new paver patio along a back wall, we look at what the slab has been doing. We check door reveals, floor slopes, and existing cracks to understand how the house is moving. Skip that step and you’ll build a beautiful addition that pulls away from the original structure within five years. Hurricane Harvey in 2017 also changed how we think about ground-level work in this part of Fort Bend County. Proper grading, drainage, and flood-mitigation detailing aren’t bolt-ons; they’re standard parts of the conversation for any addition or outdoor structure in New Territory.
There’s another layer here that most generic construction pages skip entirely, and it’s the one that trips up outside contractors the fastest: the New Territory HOA. This community’s architectural guidelines control exterior finishes down to brick mortar color and roofing shingle grade. That means the windows you want, the fence style you picked, and the paver color you love all need to pass a design review board before a permit is even pulled. The board’s submission timeline often runs 30 days or longer. A contractor who doesn’t know that will schedule the demo, then get a stop-work notice and leave you with a torn-up yard and a crew that’s moved on. We build the HOA’s review calendar into our project schedule from day one, alongside the Fort Bend County permit. That’s not extra bureaucracy to us. It’s what keeps your property value intact and your neighbors from wondering what’s going on.

FAQs About Construction in New Territory
Yes, and in most cases that approval must happen before the Fort Bend County permit is even applied for. The New Territory HOA enforces exterior material, color, and design standards, and their architectural review process often takes 30 days or more. We handle the submission as part of the job because we know what the board expects and how to phase the paperwork so the project doesn’t sit idle waiting on a stamp.
Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the specific approvals your project needs.
Additions in New Territory usually start around $80,000 and can exceed $250,000 depending on size, structural scope, and finishes. The cost driver here is slab work: because the original homes sit on post-tension foundations moving with the clay soil, tying an addition in properly requires slab assessment and often some level of foundation remediation before framing.

Not without a written change order that you sign first. That’s a Barrett & Sons rule, not a suggestion. If we open a wall and find a problem the original quote didn’t cover, you get a written scope and price before any additional work happens. No surprise invoices at the end.
We pull the Fort Bend County building permit on every eligible job, and we schedule the inspections so the county signs off before we call the project done. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way. It means the work is getting checked by an independent set of eyes.
Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through what your specific project requires.
A full kitchen remodel in New Territory typically runs 6 to 12 weeks from demo to final walkthrough, depending on layout changes, cabinet lead times, and HOA review timing if any exterior work is involved. We don’t promise miracle deadlines because we’ve never seen one hold up on a job done right.

What New Territory Customers Say
"His sons run the crews and they were in our house for four months. Not once did I feel I had to be home to keep an eye on things."
- Camila Fuentes"Beautiful work and honest pricing throughout. The project ran about three weeks past the estimate waiting on the cabinets, which was the supplier rather than him, though the delay was still real."
- Genevieve Ashcombe"Full kitchen down to the studs. He found the previous owner had done the wiring himself and it was genuinely dangerous, showed me, and put it right properly rather than boxing it back in."
- Augustus Nwachukwu
