Construction in Redondo Beach carries a set of rules you won’t find twenty minutes inland. The salt air off Santa Monica Bay eats standard fasteners, the Coastal Commission reviews work that would sail through in Torrance, and the city’s aging post-WWII housing stock rarely matches modern code. We answer the phone at (877) 610-1318, and we’ll tell you straight what your project needs before you spend a dollar. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and the crews on your street are his sons and their teams, not strangers from a call center.

Why Redondo Beach Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Homeowners in the Avenues and along the Esplanade call us because the quote we give is the price on the final bill. That’s not a slogan; it’s a written change order policy we’ve kept for 29 years. If a scope change comes up mid-project, it arrives on paper before a nail moves. Nothing verbal, nothing “we’ll settle up later.”
We pull permits on every eligible job, and we stand there while the inspector signs off. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why we like him. We’ve built kitchens in 90277 and replaced roofs in 90278, and we’ve never once told a homeowner that permits were optional. You can look up Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street, or check the license yourself.
Every completed job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. And a live person answers that call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Construction Services We Offer in Redondo Beach
Kitchen Remodeling
We install KraftMaid and Cambria because you can look those brands up and know exactly what you’re getting. Kitchen Remodeling - Redondo Beach projects also need marine-grade cabinet hardware so hinges and slides don’t corrode from the damp air rolling in off the bay.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Redondo Beach.
Bathroom Remodeling
We use Schluter waterproofing systems and Grohe fixtures, and we specify them on the written scope before demolition starts. Bathroom Remodeling - Redondo Beach projects need ventilation built for persistent humidity, not just for looks.
Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Redondo Beach.
Roofing
Salt-laden onshore wind shortens the life of ordinary flashing and nails, so we install GAF roofing systems with stainless and hot-dipped galvanized fasteners rated for marine exposure. We also handle the Coastal Commission paperwork when our Roofing in Redondo Beach triggers design review.
Learn more about our Roofing in Redondo Beach.
Windows & Doors
Aluminum frames corrode fast within sight of the ocean, so we recommend and install Andersen and Marvin products with marine-grade finishes. Windows & Doors in Redondo Beach need to be replaced correctly the first time, which matters when you’re dealing with coastal energy codes.
Fence Installation
Redondo Beach’s damp, salty air means fence posts need pressure-treated or steel-reinforced footings, not bare wood in wet soil. We write every post depth and material spec down before we dig.
Driveway & Pavers
Rebar in concrete flatwork near the coast needs epoxy coating or it rusts and spalls within a few years. We use Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers where they fit, and we’re upfront about which hardscape materials survive the marine layer.
Home Additions & ADU
Additions in southern 90277 near the Palos Verdes foothills often need geotechnical soils reports and Coastal Commission design review. We’ve walked homeowners through that process, and we’ll tell you whether your project is a three-month permit or an eighteen-month entitlement before you’re committed.

Why Redondo Beach’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Redondo Beach is a coastal city with a problem most South Bay contractors never have to think about: corrosion. The persistent marine layer and salt-laden onshore wind off Santa Monica Bay attack metal fasteners, structural connectors, aluminum window frames, rebar in concrete flatwork, and exposed steel at a rate that surprises anyone building with inland habits. When we write a scope for a Redondo Beach project, marine-grade hardware and coatings are baseline, not an upgrade. If a contractor doesn’t specify them, the callbacks start within a few years.
The housing stock adds another layer. Most of the single-family homes in 90277 and 90278 are post-WWII stucco builds from the 1950s and 1960s, and the inland 90278 ZIP has a heavy concentration of 1960s and 1970s wood-frame garden apartment buildings. Many of those older multi-family structures are soft-story buildings now subject to LA County’s mandatory seismic retrofit ordinance, which means we’re regularly called in for structural reinforcement work that has nothing to do with curb appeal. Add the Coastal Commission jurisdiction over much of the city’s 90277 ZIP, and you have a construction environment where the wrong contractor can burn six months and a five-figure deposit before discovering the project needs state-level review. We handle that paperwork before you buy materials.
Pricing for Construction in Redondo Beach
Good construction in Redondo Beach isn’t cheap, and honest pricing starts with a written scope, allowances in writing, and change orders in writing. Here are realistic ranges we’ve seen for this area, keeping in mind that coastal permitting and marine-grade materials push costs above inland South Bay averages.
- Kitchen remodel: $35,000-$85,000, depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and whether walls move.
- Bathroom remodel: $18,000-$45,000, more if the shower needs Schluter waterproofing and a full rebuild.
- Roof replacement: $14,000-$28,000 for a typical Redondo Beach single-family home, with marine-rated GAF materials.
- Window and door replacement: $800-$2,200 per opening for Andersen or Marvin products with coastal finishes.
- Fence installation: $2,800-$7,500 depending on linear footage and footing requirements.
- Driveway and pavers: $12,000-$30,000 for concrete flatwork or paver hardscape with corrosion-resistant reinforcement.
- Home addition or ADU: $150,000-$400,000 plus whatever Coastal Commission review and geotechnical work the specific 90277 site requires.

FAQs About Construction in Redondo Beach
Yes, for many projects within the coastal 90277 ZIP, including additions, major remodels, and sometimes even roof changes visible from the Esplanade. The Coastal Commission adds a separate state review on top of city permits, and it can extend your timeline by months. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you whether your project triggers it before you spend money on plans.
Most Redondo Beach kitchen remodels land between $35,000 and $85,000, and the variance comes down to materials and whether the home’s 1950s or 1960s framing needs to be brought up to current code. We write every allowance down, so you’ll know exactly where your money goes. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free line-item estimate.
Ours won’t, and that’s written into every contract. Any scope change, allowance adjustment, or surprise discovery arrives as a written change order before the work proceeds. If your current contractor won’t put that in writing, that’s a warning sign, not a negotiation tactic. Call (877) 610-1318 for a second opinion on any written estimate, free.
The salt-laden onshore wind and persistent marine layer off Santa Monica Bay accelerate corrosion on metal fasteners, window frames, rebar, and structural connectors. Contractors who build inland habits into a coastal house get callbacks within a few years. We specify marine-grade hardware and coatings as standard for Redondo Beach work, not as an optional line item.
Every eligible job includes permits pulled and inspections signed. We don’t treat permits as optional because the inspector works for you, not for us, and the Coastal Commission layer in 90277 makes skipping permits a genuinely expensive mistake. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your project needs.

What Redondo Beach Customers Say
"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"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."
