AfterConstruction Services in Jersey Village, TX
If you own a home in Jersey Village, you already know the question isn’t whether to renovate, but whether the contractor you hire understands what flood-zone construction actually means here. Homes in 77064 sit on Beaumont clay that moves, inside a city that runs its own building department, and many still carry scars from Harvey’s reservoir releases. That combination changes how a kitchen gets framed, how a roof gets tied down, and how a driveway gets graded. Barrett & Sons Construction works in Jersey Village regularly, and we answer the phone at (877) 610-1318 when you call.

Why Jersey Village Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and he still puts his name, address, and license number on every contract. That matters more in Jersey Village than in most places, because the city’s municipal building department handles permits and inspections independently of Houston. A contractor who shows up with the wrong paperwork gets turned away, and you’re the one left holding a half-finished job. We pull Jersey Village permits on every eligible project and stay through the final inspection sign-off.
Homeowners in The Enclave and Jersey Meadows have called us for everything from Harvey-related rebuilds to full kitchen remodels. They tell us the same thing: they’d rather pay a fair price once than get surprised twice. Our crews are background-checked and carry the Barrett & Sons name on their shirts. Tom or one of his sons is on-site most days, not a rotating cast of subcontractors.
Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work begins. That’s not a policy; it’s the way Tom has run jobs since before the flood. And when the job is done, you get our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back.
Construction Services We Offer in Jersey Village
Kitchen Remodeling
Jersey Village kitchens from the 1960s and 70s weren’t built for islands, vented ranges, or modern cabinet systems. We remodel them with KraftMaid and Cambria because you should be able to look up every material that goes into your home. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Jersey Village.
Bathroom Remodeling
Older Jersey Village homes often have cast-iron plumbing and single-bath layouts that make full remodels a matter of sequencing, not wish lists. We handle the plumbing, waterproofing, and finish work with one crew and one written scope. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Jersey Village.
Roofing
The wind and hail that move through northwest Harris County punish roofs, and post-Harvey repair work means tying new roofing into flood-resistant framing. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with the written warranty behind them. Learn more about our Roofing in Jersey Village.
Windows & Doors
Flood vents, elevated entry thresholds, and wind-rated glazing are code realities in Jersey Village’s AE and AO flood zones. We install Andersen and Marvin windows and doors that meet Jersey Village’s municipal inspection standards, not just Houston’s.
Fence Installation
Fence posts in Beaumont clay heave and lean if they aren’t set deep enough, and Jersey Village’s wet-dry cycles make that a when, not an if. We set posts the way this soil demands and stand behind the work.
Driveway & Pavers
Concrete and pavers over expansive clay require joints, compaction, and drainage that most driveways around here never got. We work with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers because the product matters when the ground underneath is moving. Learn more about our driveway and paver work in Jersey Village.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Jersey Village means running your plans through FEMA Substantial Improvement rules and Harris County Flood Control District elevation requirements before a single footing gets poured. We handle that paperwork as part of the job, because skipping it isn’t an option here.

Why Jersey Village’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Jersey Village sits directly adjacent to, and partially within, the flood pool of the Army Corps of Engineers’ Addicks Reservoir. When Harvey hit in 2017, deliberate reservoir releases put a significant portion of the city underwater, and that event still defines what construction means here. We regularly work on homes that have been elevated onto pier foundations, had slabs demolished and re-poured, or carry breakaway lower enclosures that most Houston neighborhoods never have to think about. A standard remodel in Jersey Village can trigger Substantial Improvement review, which caps how much you can spend before FEMA requires a full elevation. If your contractor doesn’t know that rule exists, your project can get stopped mid-frame.
The other half of the story is the soil. Beaumont clay expands when wet and shrinks when dry, which stresses every slab and foundation that wasn’t engineered for movement. Homes built in the 1950s through 1970s, which is most of Jersey Village’s core, rarely were. That’s why we inspect foundation conditions before quoting any remodel, addition, or paver job. It isn’t an upsell. It’s the difference between a kitchen that stays level and one that cracks along the grout line in two summers.
Pricing for Construction in Jersey Village
Here’s the honest range for typical Jersey Village projects, keeping in mind that flood-zone code requirements and foundation conditions move the numbers:
- Kitchen remodel: $35,000-$85,000 depending on footprint, cabinet grade, and whether walls or plumbing move.
- Bathroom remodel: $18,000-$45,000 for a full gut with waterproofing and new fixtures.
- Roof replacement: $12,000-$28,000 depending on pitch, materials, and decking repair.
- Windows & doors: $800-$2,500 per opening installed, more for hurricane-rated glass.
- Fence installation: $25-$45 per linear foot depending on material and post depth.
- Driveway & pavers: $15-$35 per square foot installed, depending on base prep and paver brand.
- Home addition / ADU: $180-$350 per square foot before flood-elevation engineering, which varies widely in Jersey Village.
Every estimate from us is a written line-item price, and we honor the standing offers: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and no trip charge inside the county. Seniors and veterans get a permanent 10% discount.

FAQs About Construction in Jersey Village
Yes, for nearly every project beyond paint and flooring. Jersey Village runs its own building department, separate from the City of Houston, so permits must be filed with the city’s municipal office, not Harris County or Houston. We handle permitting on every eligible job, and the inspector signs off before we call it done. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’re not sure whether your project needs one.
If your home sits in a FEMA high-risk zone, which covers many Jersey Village parcels, any structural remodel can count toward Substantial Improvement limits. Exceed the threshold and FEMA requires full elevation, which adds six figures to the budget. We run that compliance review before you sign anything so there are no surprises. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact read on your property.
Yes. Post-Harvey rebuilds, including elevated foundations, slab demolition, flood vents, and breakaway lower enclosures, are a core part of our work in Jersey Village. We coordinate with Harris County Flood Control District requirements and FEMA Elevation Certificates as part of the written scope. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a site visit.
Not without your signature on a written change order. If we open a wall in a 1960s Jersey Village home and find cast-iron plumbing that has to go, you’ll see the new line-item price on paper before we do the work. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and Tom won’t do that to you. Estimates are free; call (877) 610-1318.
Most kitchens run four to eight weeks, baths two to four, and roofing a few days weather permitting. Additions and elevated rebuilds run months because of engineering reviews and inspections through Jersey Village’s municipal building department. We’ll give you a written schedule with milestones before work begins. Call (877) 610-1318 for a timeline on your project.

What Jersey Village Customers Say
"Addition over the garage matched the original roofline and brickwork so closely that visitors do not realise it was added. He tracked down the closest brick he could find rather than settling."
- Gideon Stroud"The bathroom was finished on the day he said at the start, which nobody had led me to believe was possible."
- Loretta Vanterpool"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
