AfterConstruction Services in McKinney, TX
If you own a home in McKinney, you already know the situation: this city grew faster than almost anywhere in Texas, which means thousands of homes built between 2003 and 2015 are now aging into their first major repairs at the same time. You can reach Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 and talk to a live person, any hour, any day. We’ll send someone who knows the difference between a 75069 Victorian and a 75070 Craig Ranch brick-veneer tract home, because around here that matters more than any sales pitch.

Why McKinney Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and put his name on the truck. His sons run crews. That’s not a marketing line; it’s who answers when you call. Homeowners in Eldorado Heights and Stonebridge Ranch keep our number because they’ve been burned before by outfits that quote one figure over the phone and hand over a different invoice after the work’s done. We don’t play that game. Every scope goes in writing. Every allowance goes in writing. Every change order arrives as a document before a single nail moves. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why I like him on every eligible job.
We carry real brands you can look up: GAF on roofing, Schluter in showers, Grohe fixtures where it counts. And every completed job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. We publish it.
Construction Services We Offer in McKinney
McKinney’s housing stock asks for different things depending on which ZIP code you’re standing in. Here’s what we do, all of it backed by written change orders and the 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Kitchen Remodeling
From KraftMaid cabinetry to Cambria countertops, we plan kitchens around how your family actually cooks, not how a showroom looks. In McKinney’s older bungalows near the downtown square, that often means working with tight footprints; in the 75070 subdivisions, it means opening up builder-grade layouts built for speed, not living. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in McKinney.
Bathroom Remodeling
We install Schluter waterproofing systems and Sterling and Grohe fixtures because a bathroom that fails in five years costs twice as much as one done right the first time. McKinney’s clay-soil movement makes proper membrane work non-negotiable around tubs and shower pans. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in McKinney.
Roofing
North Texas hail doesn’t wait for a convenient time, and GAF roofing systems installed with attention to decking and ventilation hold up better when it comes. We walk every roof before quoting, and our quotes are written, line-item, and fixed unless you approve a change in writing. Learn more about our Roofing in McKinney.
Windows & Doors
Andersen and Marvin windows get installed square, flashed correctly, and sealed against the kind of wind-driven rain McKinney sees every spring. A door that isn’t hung right in a slab-on-grade home will bind within two years; we set it properly the first time.
Fence Installation
Posts set deep and straight through McKinney’s Blackland Prairie clay, gates hung so they still swing a decade later. We use materials rated for Texas sun and moisture cycling, not whatever’s cheapest at the big-box store.
Driveway & Pavers
Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers over properly compacted base material, with drainage sloped away from the foundation. Given how McKinney’s soil expands and contracts, base preparation is the whole job. Skip it and you’ll see it in three years.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in McKinney means pulling permits, matching rooflines, and respecting HOA requirements in master-planned communities like Craig Ranch. We start every addition estimate with a foundation and drainage assessment. That’s standard, not an upsell.
Neighborhoods We Serve in McKinney
Our crews work throughout the city, but we’re in certain pockets constantly. Here’s a short list of where you’ll see our trucks most often.
- Stonebridge Ranch
- Craig Ranch
- Eldorado Heights

- Historic Downtown McKinney
If you’re anywhere in McKinney, we can typically have someone out within a day or two to look things over. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll set it up.
Why McKinney’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
McKinney sits on Blackland Prairie clay, and that clay shrinks in summer droughts and swells after every good rain. Foundations move. Brick veneer develops step-cracking. Interior sheetrock separates at corners. This isn’t a worst-case scenario here; it’s the baseline. Homes in 75070 and 75071 were largely put up fast during the 2005 to 2013 volume-builder boom, and builders grading for speed often left lots without enough slope away from the slab. After 15 years of wet-dry cycling, the damage shows up in ways that derail remodels if you don’t catch them early. That’s why every addition or renovation estimate from us includes a foundation and drainage assessment as a line item, not a surprise. In the 75069 historic district, the story flips: early-1900s Craftsman bungalows and Victorians near Chestnut Square need preservation-sensitive work, with materials and methods that meet historic overlay standards. Same city, two completely different construction realities.
Key takeaways:
- Written change orders before any scope change, every single time.
- Permits pulled and inspections signed on every eligible McKinney job.
- 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing, one call brings Tom back.
- Free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received.
- No trip charge inside Collin County.

FAQs About Construction in McKinney
A kitchen remodel in McKinney typically runs $38,000 to $75,000, with final cost driven by cabinet grade, counter material, and whether you’re moving plumbing or walls. In older 75069 homes, expect some allowance for structural surprises behind walls; in newer 75070 and 75071 homes, you’ll save on repair contingency but spend more on finishes. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, free.
No, unless you approve it in writing. McKinney homeowners who’ve dealt with national outfits are used to exactly that bait-and-switch, and it’s the reason we exist. Every scope, every allowance, every change order arrives on paper before any work proceeds. If it’s not on paper, it doesn’t happen.
Yes, on every eligible job. The city of McKinney has specific code requirements, particularly around structural work and historic-district alterations in 75069, and inspections protect you as the homeowner. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s how we want it.
Most McKinney additions run between three and six months from permit approval to final inspection, depending on size, weather, and whether foundation work is needed. Given the clay soil situation across the city, we build time into the schedule for proper soil and drainage evaluation before framing starts. We’ll give you a written timeline, not a guess.
Yes. We’ve completed renovations in the Chestnut Square historic district and surrounding 75069 streets, where specific material and method constraints apply under historic overlay standards. We handle the paperwork and the craftsmanship; you handle choosing which era of character you want to keep.

What McKinney Customers Say
"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"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
