AfterConstruction Services in Richland Hills, TX
Most construction work in Richland Hills isn’t new construction at all. It’s renovation, addition, and repair on brick ranch homes built between 1950 and 1975, on clay soil that never stops moving. If you’re looking at Kitchen Remodeling in Richland Hills, windows that stick every summer, or a roof that’s seen better decades, we know exactly what’s behind those walls before we open them up. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a live person, not a voicemail box. We serve all of Richland Hills, zip code 76180, and Tom Barrett or one of his sons is on-site most days.

Why Richland Hills Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in a small city like Richland Hills, where word travels fast and a handshake at the hardware store still means something. When we work on homes near Rufe Snow Drive or along Baker Boulevard, neighbors stop by and ask questions. We’re glad they do. We’ve built our reputation one street at a time, and the crew members on your job carry the Barrett name, are background-checked, and wear our uniform on every visit.
What really sets us apart in Richland Hills is paperwork. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. No surprise invoices at the end. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we pull permits on every eligible job. After 29 years of owner-operated work, we know the difference between doing it fast and doing it right. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call.
Construction Services We Offer in Richland Hills
Kitchen Remodeling
Richland Hills kitchens from the 1950s and 60s were built for one cook and a lot less counter space. We open them up, rework the layout, and install brands like KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria countertops that you can look up yourself. Our Kitchen Remodeling in Richland Hills page walks through what a typical project involves and what it costs.
Bathroom Remodeling
Original cast-iron plumbing and undersized bathrooms are common in Richland Hills homes. We handle the full gut, from waterproofing to finish trim, and we make sure the inspector signs off before we call it done. Bathroom Remodeling in Richland Hills has the details.
Roofing
Hail season hits Richland Hills hard, and many roofs here are nearing the end of their second decade. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems, pull permits, and stand behind the work with our written promise. Learn more about our Roofing in Richland Hills.
Windows & Doors
Original single-pane windows are still common in Richland Hills, and they leak energy every month. We replace them with Andersen or Marvin units sized to the existing openings, and we frame the rough openings properly when the old ones have shifted.
Fence Installation
Blackland Prairie clay moves fence posts over time. We set posts deeper than code minimums and use materials that hold up to North Texas sun and rain cycles without rotting or warping.
Driveway & Pavers
Slab-on-grade driveways in Richland Hills crack when the clay underneath heaves. We can replace them, or upgrade to Belgard or Techo-Bloc pavers that flex with seasonal movement instead of fighting it.
Home Additions & ADU
Since Richland Hills has no vacant land left, the only way to gain square footage is to add on to what’s already there. We handle additions from foundation to roofline, including bringing unpermitted 1980s work up to current Tarrant County code.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Richland Hills
You’ll see our trucks throughout Richland Hills on any given week. Here are a few of the neighborhoods we work in most often:
- Richland Hills East, near the former Richland Plaza area
- Homes along Baker Boulevard and Rufe Snow Drive
- The subdivisions near Richland Elementary and the park
- Streets east of the TRE rail line, toward Diamond Loch
We’re typically able to get eyes on a Richland Hills project within a day or two of your call. Tom lives twenty minutes away; if something’s wrong, he wants to know about it.
Why Richland Hills’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Richland Hills sits on Blackland Prairie expansive clay, the kind of soil that shrinks in drought and swells after a hard rain. That movement is why we see so many cracked slabs, racked door frames, and sticking windows here. Nearly every remodel we start in the 76180 zip code uncovers some combination of original framing, aging electrical, or galvanized and cast-iron plumbing that hasn’t been touched since the Eisenhower and Johnson administrations. It’s not a surprise to us anymore, and it shouldn’t be a budget-buster for you. We plan for it.
The February 2021 winter storm left a lasting mark on Richland Hills, too. We still get calls from homeowners whose pipes burst during that freeze and were only partially repaired at the time. Behind the drywall, mold or rot has been quietly spreading. If you had work done back then and haven’t opened the wall since, it’s worth a look. We quote the full scope in writing, including what we expect to find, so there’s no mystery when we open things up.
Pricing for Construction in Richland Hills
Honest pricing is rare in this business, so let’s be straight. A mid-range kitchen remodel in Richland Hills typically runs $35,000 to $70,000 depending on layout changes and material choices. Bathrooms run $15,000 to $35,000. Roof replacements on ranch homes here usually fall between $9,000 and $18,000. Window replacements run $700 to $1,400 per opening installed. Driveway replacement with pavers runs $12 to $25 per square foot. Additions depend heavily on plumbing and foundation work, but $180 to $300 per square foot is a fair planning range for this area. Every one of those numbers comes with a written change order before any scope shifts, and our standing offers apply: $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.

What Richland Hills 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."
- Rosalie Pemberton
