AfterConstruction Services in Rendon, TX
Rendon sits in a rare regulatory spot: it’s unincorporated Tarrant County, so every permit and inspection runs through the county, not a city hall. That changes how construction gets priced, scheduled, and inspected here, and it’s the first thing we walk every Rendon homeowner through before we touch a single wall. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, an owner-operated outfit founded in 1998, and when you call (877) 610-1318, you get a live person, not a voicemail tree. Our crews work throughout the 76140 ZIP and know the difference between a 1980s acreage homestead and a 2015 tract home on a post-tension slab.

Why Rendon Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett put his name on the truck in 1998 and never took it off. His sons run crews in Rendon, and Tom answers his own phone. When a homeowner on Rendon Road or in the Timberview area calls about a kitchen remodel or a roof that’s losing shingles, they’re talking to someone who lives twenty minutes away and will see them at the hardware store on Saturday. That’s not a slogan. It’s the reason we write every scope, every allowance, and every change order on paper before work starts. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.
Rendon clients also get the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract we sign. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. Not a call center. Not a “ticket.” Tom. And because we publish Tom’s name, license number, and address, you can verify all of it before you sign. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. That’s the kind of accountability that matters when you’re spending five figures on a kitchen, a roof, or an addition.
Construction Services We Offer in Rendon
Kitchen Remodeling
Rendon kitchens run the full range: tight galley layouts in 1990s tract homes and sprawling farmhouse kitchens on acreage properties. We plan around how your family actually cooks, then install named brands like KraftMaid so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Rendon.
Bathroom Remodeling
Older Rendon homes often have bathrooms with cast-iron drains and undersized vents that weren’t built for today’s fixtures. We bring the plumbing up to county code while keeping the finished room comfortable, not clinical.

Roofing
Hail and high winds roll through Tarrant County regularly, and Rendon roofs take the hit. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with full underlayment, and every roof gets county inspection sign-off before we call it done.
Learn more about our Roofing in Rendon.
Windows & Doors
Single-pane aluminum frames are common on older Rendon homes, and they leak air all summer. We carry Simonton and Ply Gem products that hold up to North Texas heat without warping or fogging.

Fence Installation
Rendon’s unincorporated lots mean longer fence runs than you’d see in a city subdivision, often with livestock or drainage considerations. We build fence lines that stay square through shifting clay soil, and we pull the county permit when one’s required.
Learn more about our fence work in Rendon.
Driveway & Pavers
The Blackland Prairie clay under Rendon heaves and shrinks every year, which is why so many local driveways crack within a decade of pouring. We build paver drives and walkways with properly compacted bases that flex instead of fracturing.
Learn more about our driveway and paver work in Rendon.
Home Additions & ADUs
Rendon’s county zoning is more permissive than Burleson or Mansfield, which means detached workshops, barns, and accessory dwellings are actually buildable here. We handle the full scope, from county permit to final inspection, in writing all the way through.

Why Rendon’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Rendon sits on North Texas Blackland Prairie, and the montmorillonite clay underneath it is the most expansive soil in the region. It shrinks hard during summer droughts and swells after heavy rain, which cycles stress into slabs, flatwork, and underground utilities on a near-annual basis. That geological reality shapes almost every construction decision here. A kitchen remodel in Rendon isn’t just cabinets and counters. It’s checking whether the slab has moved enough to throw doors out of square before you set a single base cabinet. When we build driveways with pavers, we over-excavate and install a deeper base than a suburban Dallas crew would, because plain concrete on this clay fails fast.
Then there’s Winter Storm Uri in February 2021. It froze pipes across Rendon and pushed a wave of repipe and insulation work that kept local contractors booked for years. Homes built in the 1970s and 1980s, which make up a big share of Rendon’s acreage stock, were hit especially hard. We still find homes where a freeze-damaged line was patched rather than replaced, and that patch fails the first time the temperature drops again. These are the things you learn only from working in Rendon long enough to see the patterns repeat.
Pricing for Construction in Rendon
Here’s what we tell every Rendon homeowner who calls: we don’t give a number over the phone, and we don’t get out-bid by changing the price at the door. Kitchen remodels in Rendon typically land between $28,000 and $75,000 depending on footprint and finish. Bathrooms run $14,000 to $38,000. Roofs start around $9,500 for a standard composition replacement and climb with complexity. Driveway pavers often come in between $11,000 and $30,000 depending on square footage and base depth. Every one of those numbers comes with a written line-item scope before work starts, and every change after that is a written change order. No surprises. That’s the point.

FAQs About Construction in Rendon
Yes, in most cases. Rendon is unincorporated Tarrant County, so permits and inspections run through the county rather than a city building department. Tom Barrett pulls permits on every eligible job and makes sure an inspection is signed off before we consider the work complete. If you’re planning a project, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what the county will and won’t require.
Most Rendon kitchen remodels fall between $28,000 and $75,000 depending on layout, finishes, and whether plumbing or electrical needs to be brought up to county code. We’ll give you a written, line-item scope before you commit, so you know the number won’t move unless you change the scope. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
Not unless you change the scope, and even then it won’t be a surprise. Every price change at Barrett & Sons Construction is a written change order issued before the work happens. You sign it or you don’t. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’ve been burned by a contractor who did.
Often yes. Because Rendon is unincorporated, Tarrant County’s zoning is far more permissive than city rules in Burleson or Mansfield. Detached workshops, barns, and accessory structures are regularly buildable on larger lots. What you should know is that the county may require unpermitted prior work on your property to be brought into compliance before a new permit is issued. We budget for that discovery upfront so there are no mid-project shocks. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through your specific lot.
It depends entirely on scope. A roof is three to seven days once materials land. A kitchen remodel is four to eight weeks. An addition or ADU can run three to six months with county inspections spaced through. We’ll give you a written timeline with milestones tied to inspections, not guesses, when we deliver your estimate. That way you’ll know exactly when the county inspector is expected, because the inspector works for you, not for us. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll get you a real schedule.
Call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate in Rendon. Tom or one of his sons will walk your property, talk through what needs doing, and put the whole scope in writing before you commit. No trip charge inside the county, and a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already collected.

What Rendon 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
