Why Joshua Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Most of the calls we take in Joshua start the same way: someone had a contractor out who quoted one number on the phone and showed up with a different one. That doesn’t happen here. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and since then every scope, every allowance, and every price change has arrived as a written change order before a single nail moves. If it’s not on paper, it’s not real.
We work regularly in newer subdivisions like Silo Mills and the neighborhoods off FM 917, and we know the older wood-frame homes near downtown Joshua just as well. Our reviews from Joshua homeowners mention the same things over and over: the crew showed up when they said they would, the price stayed put, and the work held up. Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. Look us up before you sign anything.
Construction Services We Offer in Joshua
Kitchen Remodeling

Bathroom Remodeling
From master baths to guest bathrooms, we handle the full scope of Bathroom Remodeling - Joshua projects: waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and finishes. We carry Schluter waterproofing systems, which matter more than most people realize in a climate that swings between dry heat and sudden wet spells.

Roofing
Joshua Roofing takes real punishment: hailstorms, high winds, and summer sun that bakes shingles for months at a stretch. We install GAF roofing systems and pull permits on every eligible job, because the inspector works for you, not for the roofer.

Windows & Doors
You can choose Andersen or Marvin Windows & Doors in Joshua, and that’s a decision worth making carefully in a climate where poorly sealed openings show up on your energy bill every month. We measure, order, install, and trim out every opening.
Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate on windows or doors in Joshua.
Fence Installation
Good fences in Joshua have to survive clay soil that shifts with every wet-dry cycle, which is why we set posts below the active clay zone and backfill with care. We build wood, composite, and ornamental steel fencing.
Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on a new fence in Joshua.
Driveway & Pavers
Concrete flatwork and paver driveways in the 76058 ZIP need proper base prep, because the Blackland Prairie clay will heave and settle under anything laid directly on top of it. We carry Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers, installed on compacted base material to spec.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Joshua means engineering for expansive soils, and that starts with a conversation about your lot and what the county will require for permits. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every addition, from a single room to a full ADU.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Joshua
We work across all of Joshua, but here are a few of the neighborhoods where you’ll see our crews most often. Typical response time for an estimate visit in the Joshua area is one to three business days.
- Silo Mills
- Neighborhoods along FM 917
- Older homes near downtown Joshua
- The US-174 corridor subdivisions
- CR 702 and surrounding ranchland parcels
Why Joshua’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Joshua sits at the leading edge of Fort Worth’s southward expansion along US-174, and the construction reality here is different from what you’ll find in older, already-platted suburbs. This is former Johnson County ranchland being carved into new subdivisions, which means cut-and-fill grade changes are everywhere. Crews working newer developments off FM 917 and CR 702 regularly hit old ranch topography, so compaction specs and fill depth verification become friction points with municipal inspectors. It’s the kind of detail that trips up crews used to working flat, pre-platted lots in Burleson or Mansfield.
Underneath all of it sits the expansive Blackland Prairie clay that defines this part of Texas. Hot, dry summers pull moisture out of the soil, and periodic wet periods push it back in. The ground swells and shrinks dramatically, season after season. That puts constant stress on slabs, flatwork, and any structure without properly engineered deep piers or post-tension systems. When we pour a driveway or frame an addition in Joshua, soil prep and foundation engineering are the first conversation, not an afterthought.

FAQs About Construction in Joshua
A kitchen remodel in Joshua typically runs $35,000 to $85,000, depending on whether you’re keeping the existing footprint, what cabinet line you choose, and how much the plumbing and electrical need to move. The biggest variable in our area is what the remodel uncovers once walls come down, especially in older wood-frame homes near downtown. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written quote on your specific kitchen; estimates are free, and you’ll get a line-item breakdown, not a lump sum.
Yes, we pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job in Joshua, no exceptions. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly how Tom Barrett likes it. If a contractor tells you permits are optional, that’s a red flag.
Not without your written approval. Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every single price change arrives as a written change order before any work moves forward. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises.
Most additions in Joshua take three to six months from permit approval to final inspection, depending on size and site conditions. Soil testing and foundation engineering add time upfront, especially on lots with significant cut-and-fill from the old ranch topography, but skipping that step is a mistake you’ll pay for later.
Yes. We provide free estimates for every construction service we offer in Joshua, and if you already have a written estimate from another contractor, we’ll give you a free second opinion on it. No trip charge inside the county. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours.

What Joshua 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."
