AfterConstruction Services in Rancho Murieta, CA
If you own a home in Rancho Murieta, you already know the first rule of any project: nothing happens until the Association’s Architectural Review Committee says it can. That’s a different world from building just outside the gates in Sloughhouse, and it’s why so many Rancho Murieta homeowners end up calling us after another contractor stalls out on paperwork. Barrett & Sons Construction handles the ARC submittal, the county permit, the gate access for every delivery truck, and the work itself. Tom Barrett and his sons live and work in this community. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a live person, not a call center.
Most of the homes here were built between the 1970s and 1990s, and they’re now at the age where kitchens, roofs, windows, and electrical panels need real attention. We’re the owner-operated crew that shows up, writes down every scope and price change, and lets you look up the license number before you sign anything.

Why Rancho Murieta Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not a line on a brochure; it’s how the work gets done. When you call about a kitchen remodel near the North Course or a roof replacement off Murieta Parkway, you’ll see the same faces for the estimate and the build. Crew members are background-checked, uniformed, and they carry the Barrett & Sons name because their work is on the line with every job.
We work throughout Rancho Murieta, from the fairway-side homes along Camino del Lago to the larger equestrian-adjacent lots near the southern end of the community. Homeowners here appreciate the 90-Day Done Right Promise: it’s written on every contract, and if something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back. We also publish our address and license number. Ask anyone on your street, or look us up yourself.
Construction Services We Offer in Rancho Murieta
Kitchen Remodeling
Rancho Murieta kitchens from the 1980s and 1990s often hide undersized wiring behind original cabinets. We pull permits on every job, upgrade electrical as needed, and install brands like KraftMaid and Cambria so you know exactly what’s going into your home. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Rancho Murieta.
Bathroom Remodeling
Original copper and galvanized plumbing is common in this housing stock, and it’s something you can’t ignore during a bathroom project. We handle the plumbing, water damage repair, waterproofing, and finishes in one scope, with change orders in writing before anything expands. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Rancho Murieta.
Roofing
Much of Rancho Murieta sits in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which means Class A roofing and ember-resistant venting aren’t optional extras on many homes. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems that meet or exceed Wildland-Urban Interface requirements. Learn more about our Roofing in Rancho Murieta.
Windows & Doors
Rancho Murieta’s ARC reviews every exterior change, including window and door styles, colors, and materials. We help you build the submittal package with samples and specifications, then install Andersen or Marvin products once the approval lands. Learn more about our window and door services in Rancho Murieta.
Fence Installation
Fence lines here often run along golf course boundaries, open space, or equestrian areas, and the ARC has specific rules about height, material, and setback. We’ve built fences throughout 95683 and we know what the committee will pass. Learn more about our fence installation in Rancho Murieta.
Driveway & Pavers
From paver driveways to walkways and patios, we install Belgard, Techo-Bloc, and Cambridge Pavers products with proper base prep and drainage. A driveway on a larger Rancho Murieta lot needs real compaction work, not just a pretty top layer. Learn more about our driveway and paver work in Rancho Murieta.
Home Additions & ADU
If you’re planning an addition or ADU in Rancho Murieta, the dual approval process means you need a contractor who treats paperwork as part of the build. We handle ARC submittals, county permits, and inspections as a single workflow, so your project doesn’t stall between committees. Learn more about our home additions and ADU services in Rancho Murieta.
Every scope of work gets written down, every allowance gets written down, and every change order arrives on paper before a nail moves. That’s not a preference; it’s how we’ve run jobs since 1998.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Rancho Murieta
We work across Rancho Murieta’s neighborhoods, from the lake-side homes near Murieta Parkway to the quieter streets off Camino del Lago. Typical response time for an estimate inside the community is within a couple of days, and we schedule walkthroughs around the gate access so you don’t have to meet a delivery truck at the guardhouse.
- Homes along Camino del Lago and the lake frontage
- Golf course-adjacent properties near the North and South Courses
- Equestrian-adjacent lots on the southern edge of the community
- Custom homes near the Country Club
- Streets off Murieta Parkway in 95683
Why Rancho Murieta’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Rancho Murieta sits in the Sierra foothill transition zone, where summer days push past 105°F and the surrounding oak woodland and dry grass put much of the community inside a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. That triggers CAL FIRE Wildland-Urban Interface requirements on new builds and major remodels: Class A roofing, ember-resistant venting, and non-combustible exterior materials. A roof, siding, or addition project here isn’t the same job it would be in a flat suburban cul-de-sac twenty minutes west.
The housing stock adds another layer. Homes built from the 1970s through the 1990s were framed and wired to pre-modern standards, and we regularly find undersized electrical panels, original copper or galvanized plumbing, and slab or raised foundations that need structural attention before a remodel can safely proceed. That’s not a problem; it’s just the reality of building in Rancho Murieta, and we plan for it from the first walkthrough.

- Bathroom remodel: $22,000-$48,000 depending on plumbing condition and finishes

FAQs About Construction in Rancho Murieta
Yes. The Rancho Murieta Association’s Architectural Review Committee must review and approve exterior changes, including roofing, windows, fences, and bathrooms, before Sacramento County permits are applied for. We handle the submittal package, including material samples, color palettes, and site plans, so your project doesn’t stall waiting on committee review. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what the ARC will need for your project.
It depends on the scope and how complete the submittal is. Exterior work with a clean ARC package often gets through the committee in a few weeks, while additions or ADUs go through both ARC and county review and can take several months total. Skipping or rushing the ARC submittal is the most common cause of project delays we see inside the gates. Call (877) 610-1318 for a realistic timeline on your project.
In most of Rancho Murieta, yes. Because the community sits inside a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, roofing systems and exterior venting on new builds and major remodels must meet CAL FIRE Wildland-Urban Interface standards, which typically means Class A roofing and ember-resistant vents. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems that meet these requirements, and we’ll confirm the exact standards that apply to your lot. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll look at your project specifics.
We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly how it should be. If a previous contractor told you permits were optional, that’s a red flag. In Rancho Murieta, there are two layers of approval, and we treat both as non-negotiable parts of the job. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want a contractor who handles the paperwork correctly.
Contractors must pre-register all workers, subcontractors, and delivery vehicles through the community’s security gate before work starts. That means every delivery, every trade, and every visit gets logged. We handle that registration as part of our scope, so you don’t have to coordinate gate passes or wonder whether a delivery will be turned away at the guardhouse. Call (877) 610-1318 with questions about your specific project.

What Rancho Murieta Customers Say
"Genuinely good builders and I would use them again. Site tidiness slipped a bit in the middle stretch and I had to mention it, after which it was spotless every evening."
- Marcus Threadgill"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."
