AfterConstruction Services in Eagle Mountain, TX
Most construction work in Eagle Mountain comes down to two questions homeowners ask us before anything else: what will it cost, and who will actually show up to do the work on this side of Eagle Mountain Lake. On pricing, a kitchen remodel here typically runs $45,000 to $90,000, a bathroom $22,000 to $48,000, a roof replacement $11,000 to $19,000, and a detached ADU or home addition anywhere from $130,000 to $260,000 depending on site prep and utility work. On the second question, the answer is Tom Barrett and his sons, on-site most days, with every scope and allowance written down before a single nail moves. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail box.

Why Eagle Mountain Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Eagle Mountain isn’t a city with a building department of its own. It’s an unincorporated stretch of Tarrant County wrapped around a Trinity River Authority reservoir, and that changes how construction gets done here. The homeowners we work with in the 76179 zip code have usually dealt with at least one contractor who didn’t understand that a Tarrant County permit alone won’t cut it on a lake-influence property. Some of them found that out the hard way. Our crews have worked lakefront and inland sites across the area, from the older cabin lots near Eagle Mountain Lake’s eastern shoreline to the newer subdivisions pushing out toward Boswell High School, and we’ve learned where the regulatory tripwires sit.
We’re owner-operated, founded in 1998 by Tom Barrett, and Tom’s sons run the crews. Every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. And every completed job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not buried in fine print: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. We serve homeowners along Boat Club Road, around the lake’s northern coves, and through the neighborhoods near Timber Creek and the subdivision streets off Confederate Park Road. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look it up before you sign anything, and he’d tell you to.
Key Takeaways:
- Owner-operated since 1998, with Tom Barrett and his sons on-site most days

- Permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible project
- 90-Day Done Right Promise written on every contract
- Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable
- Live person answers the phone 24/7 at (877) 610-1318
Construction Services We Offer in Eagle Mountain
Here’s what we actually build and fix around Eagle Mountain, trade by trade. Every scope starts in writing. Every allowance gets named. Every change gets a change order before work proceeds.
Kitchen Remodeling
Most Kitchen Remodeling in Eagle Mountain we do involves pulling out layouts that were built for weekend lake visits and rebuilding them for full-time living. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria countertops, and the quote you get is the price you pay unless something changes in writing first.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Eagle Mountain.
Bathroom Remodeling
Older lake cabins often have a single cramped bath with plumbing that predates modern venting codes. We handle full Bathroom Remodeling - Eagle Mountain projects with Schluter waterproofing systems and Grohe or Sterling fixtures, and we pull the county permit and schedule the inspection ourselves.

Roofing
Hail season in Tarrant County is real, and Eagle Mountain Roofing along the lake takes a beating from wind coming off open water. We install GAF shingle systems, pull the county permit, and write the scope so you know exactly what’s being torn off and what’s going back on.
Learn more about our Roofing in Eagle Mountain.
Windows & Doors
Pier-and-beam cabins settle, and doors stop closing square. We replace Windows & Doors in Eagle Mountain with Andersen or Marvin products, and we handle the flashing and trim so a new window doesn’t leak into a clay-heaved wall.
Fence Installation
Post holes in Eagle Mountain go through clay that grips like concrete when dry and turns to soup after a wet spring. We set posts deep enough to survive both seasons, and we write the post depth and concrete spec into the contract.
Driveway & Pavers
Concrete and paver work here has to account for soil movement. We use Belgard and Techo-Bloc paver systems with proper base prep, because a driveway that looks flat for the first year and cracks in year three was never prepped for this soil.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Eagle Mountain means checking whether the lot falls inside a FEMA floodplain finger or a TRA easement before we ever draw a wall. We handle the elevation certificate coordination and the flood-vent detailing, and we flag permit issues early instead of after demo starts.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Eagle Mountain

Why Eagle Mountain’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Eagle Mountain has a construction profile you won’t find in Saginaw or Azle. The original housing stock along the lake was built in the 1950s through the 1970s as seasonal cabins: small footprint, pier-and-beam foundation, wood bulkheads, aging septic. A lot of those cabins are now being torn down and replaced with full-time custom homes, and that teardown wave changes everything about a job. Crews regularly open up a wall and find non-code additions that were never permitted, electrical panels undersized for modern loads, and lot grading that directs water toward the house because the original builder only cared about three weekends a summer.
Then there’s the soil. Northwest Tarrant County is clay-heavy ground that swells and shrinks with every drought-and-rain cycle, so slab design and post-tension cable specs matter in ways they don’t in sandy counties. Lake proximity adds a second layer: FEMA floodplain fingers reach well inland from Eagle Mountain Lake, and properties that don’t feel lakefront can still sit inside a mapped flood zone requiring elevation certificates and flood-vent detailing. We factor all of that into the plan before we give you a number, because finding it out after framing starts is how budgets blow up.

FAQs About Construction in Eagle Mountain
Eagle Mountain is unincorporated Tarrant County, so you’ll need Tarrant County development permits for most substantial work, and if your property sits within the Trinity River Authority easement or flood influence zone around Eagle Mountain Lake, you’ll also need TRA easement and setback approval before any permanent structure goes in. We pull both and coordinate the inspections, because the inspectors work for you, not for us. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through what your specific lot requires.
Kitchen remodels run $45,000 to $90,000, bathrooms $22,000 to $48,000, and home additions or ADUs $130,000 to $260,000 depending on site conditions and finishes. Your exact number comes from a free site visit where we measure, inspect, and write everything down. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Only if you change the scope, and even then, the change comes as a written change order you sign before we touch anything. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, so we put every allowance in writing on day one. No surprise invoices at the end.
The 1950s to 1970s cabins around Eagle Mountain Lake were built for weekend use, not full-time occupancy, so expect undersized utilities, non-code additions, and grading that moves water toward the foundation. Many also sit inside the TRA easement or a FEMA floodplain finger, which changes what you can build and where. Get a builder to walk the lot before you close. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk it with you.
Yes. We’ve seen what happens when a contractor skips the TRA coordination step: completed structures forced into partial demolition. We handle the TRA authority approval and the elevation certificate process before framing starts, so the work you pay for is work that gets to stay standing. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
