Why Fresno Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in a community like Fresno, where word travels fast and a contractor’s reputation lives or dies on the jobs he finished last month. We serve homeowners throughout the Sienna Plantation area and Missouri City corridors, and the feedback we hear most often is that the price we quoted on paper is the price they paid at the end. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number, because the last contractor most customers used told them permits were optional. Ours never are.
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom’s sons are on-site most days, leading background-checked crew members who carry the Barrett & Sons name. When something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract. We serve neighborhoods across Fresno including parts of Sienna Plantation, Missouri City, and the established communities near Manvel, and our live-person phone line means you’re never waiting on a callback that never comes.
Construction Services We Offer in Fresno
Kitchen Remodeling
We plan kitchens around the way Fresno families actually cook, entertain, and gather. Premium-brand depth means KraftMaid and Cambria materials you can look up, with every allowance and scope change delivered in writing before work begins. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Fresno.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathrooms in this area reveal the same story on repeat: original plumbing, tired fixtures, and ventilation that never got installed correctly. We work with Schluter and Sterling waterproofing systems, and every rough-in inspection is signed before we tile. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Fresno.
Roofing
Fresno’s Gulf Coast weather cycles punish roofs year-round, from summer heat to storm season. We install GAF roofing with full permits and inspections, and we’ll give you a written second opinion on any competing quote you’ve received. Learn more about our Roofing in Fresno.
Windows & Doors
Replacement windows are one of the highest-ROI projects a Fresno homeowner can take on, cutting both energy bills and street noise. We install Andersen and Marvin products with proper flashing and sealing, never the mystery brands off a van.
Fence Installation
Whether you’re replacing wind-damaged sections or fencing a new lot, we set posts below the frost line and pull permits where required by Fort Bend County. Lumber is ordered by the board foot and priced in writing before the first hole is dug.
Driveway & Pavers
Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers hold up to Fresno’s clay-heavy soil better than standard concrete slabs, and we plan drainage so water moves away from your foundation. Every paver job starts with a soil compaction plan, not just a pretty pattern.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Fresno means navigating Fort Bend County setback rules, HOA restrictions, and utility extensions. We handle the full scope from foundation to final inspection, with every change order issued on paper before work proceeds.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Fresno
We work throughout Fresno and the surrounding communities. Our typical response time for estimates in this area is two days or less, and we schedule most free estimates within the week.

Why Fresno’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Fresno sits on Gulf Coast clay that swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it’s dry, and that cycle never stops. Nearly every home here rests on a slab, and that slab sits on soil that moves with every rain and every drought. We see the result in hairline cracks, doors that stick in August, and brick veneer pulling away from the frame. Any construction project in Fresno, from a simple fence to a full addition, has to account for that soil movement. We plan drainage away from foundations, spec concrete mixes for local conditions, and pull permits so the inspector verifies what we built. Coastal construction methods don’t translate to this soil, and you don’t want a contractor learning that on your property.
Pricing for Construction in Fresno
Every project gets a written line-item quote before work starts, and every price change arrives as a written change order before it touches the job. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Here’s what we’re seeing on typical Fresno jobs:
- Kitchen remodel: $35,000-$75,000 depending on layout, cabinets, and finishes
- Bathroom remodel: $15,000-$35,000 depending on waterproofing system and fixture tier
- Roof replacement: $12,000-$25,000 depending on pitch and material
- Window replacement (whole home): $8,000-$22,000 depending on count and brand

FAQs About Construction in Fresno

Most kitchen remodels in Fresno run $35,000 to $75,000 depending on cabinet tier, countertop material, and whether walls move. We write every allowance into the contract so you know exactly where your dollars go before we start. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on your specific kitchen.
Only if you change the scope, and only after you sign a written change order approving the new price. We don’t hand you a different bill at the door.

What Fresno 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."
