AfterConstruction Services in Hurst, TX
Most construction work in Hurst isn’t new construction at all. It’s renovation, structural repair, and room additions on brick ranch homes built between the mid-1950s and late 1970s, on clay soil that’s been moving those slabs for decades. That’s the reality we work with every day, and it shapes how we bid, how we plan, and how we communicate with homeowners across the 76053 and 76054 zip codes. If you’re looking for a contractor who understands what’s actually behind the drywall in a 1960s Hurst home, call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318. We’re owner-operated, we’re local, and a live person answers the phone around the clock, not an out-of-state call center.

Why Hurst Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
When you call us, you get Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number, published and verifiable before you sign anything. That matters in a market where too many homeowners get one price on the phone and a different number at the door. We’ve been doing this since 1998, and the crew that shows up carries our name on their shirts. Homeowners in neighborhoods like North Hurst and Shady Oaks have dealt with enough mystery-brand materials and vanished permit inspectors. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job, because a mid-century Hurst home with newer plumbing and electrical is a home that won’t surprise you later.
Every contract includes our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, you make one call and Tom Barrett comes back to fix it. No phone tree, no middleman, no argument. That promise is why Hurst homeowners who’ve been burned by a national outfit tend to stay with us once they’ve used us once.
Construction Services We Offer in Hurst
Kitchen Remodeling
Older Hurst kitchens often hide undersized headers and original wiring once you open a wall, which means the quote has to account for structural and electrical work before cabinets go in. We carry KraftMaid and Cambria so the materials you’re paying for are ones you can look up by name. Kitchen Remodeling in Hurst and what it takes to do one right.
Bathroom Remodeling
A 1960s bathroom in Hurst usually has cast-iron pipe and a slab floor that’s shifted over 50 years of clay expansion, so tear-out needs care. We scope everything in writing before we pick up a sledgehammer, and you’ll see the change order before any new work begins. Bathroom Remodeling in Hurst explained plainly.
Roofing
Ice storms that roll through North Texas every few winters put sudden load on roof framing that wasn’t engineered for it in 1965. We install GAF and CertainTeed, and we’ll tell you honestly whether the decking underneath needs to be replaced before we put anything on top. Roofing in Hurst from a crew that’s been through local storms.
Windows & Doors
Most homes in Hurst still have their original single-pane aluminum windows, and once you replace them you stop paying to heat and cool outdoor air. We install Andersen and Marvin, plus Simonton and Ply Gem for projects where budget matters more. Learn more about our Windows & Doors - Hurst services.
Fence Installation
Clay soil doesn’t just move slabs; it moves fence posts too, and a fence that’s not set deep enough will lean within three seasons. We set posts below the frost line and the shrink-swell zone so your fence stays straight through drought and wet years. Learn more about fence installation in Hurst.
Driveway & Pavers
Heaving concrete driveways on Hurst’s clay are the norm, and re-pouring on the same unstable base just means a new crack in five years. We prep the base properly, compact to spec, and install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers that flex with the soil instead of fighting it. Learn more about driveway and paver work in Hurst.
Home Additions & ADU
Since Hurst has almost no vacant land left, growing families either add on or move out. A permitted addition on a 1960s slab nearly always triggers mandatory upgrades to insulation, egress windows, and electrical panels, and we price those upgrades into the estimate so you’re not blindsided at inspection.

Why Hurst’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Hurst sits right on the edge of North Texas’s Blackland Prairie clay belt, and that soil is the single biggest factor in any project we take on. Through a summer drought, the ground pulls away from your foundation and the slab settles. When the fall rains come, the ground swells and pushes back up. After 45 to 70 years of that cycle, the slab that your 1965 ranch sits on isn’t flat anymore, and the framing tied to it isn’t square anymore.
What that means practically: a kitchen remodel quote in Hurst has to include time and material to shim cabinets level, plane door openings, and sometimes address cracks before tile goes in. Our crews know that before we write the first line of an estimate, and our quotes reflect it. The last contractor some of our customers used quoted the same price they’d give on new construction in a newer suburb, then tried to stack change orders when the walls came open. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why we like him. We’d rather tell you what’s there on day one.
Hurst also has its own municipal building department, which means a permitted remodel that opens walls or modifies a roofline triggers current energy and structural codes, not the codes from when the house was built. In neighborhoods like Shady Oaks and along Bellaire Drive, that often means mandatory insulation upgrades, egress windows in bedrooms, and an electrical panel upgrade on top of the work you asked for. Contractors who mostly work in newer suburbs don’t always flag that in advance. We do, because an allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

What Hurst Customers Say
"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"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
