Why Sachse Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett puts his name, his address, and his license number on every contract, and he invites you to look them up before you sign anything. That’s the kind of transparency people in Sachse tell us they didn’t get from the last contractor. The crews are led by his sons, background-checked and uniformed, and someone who signs a Barrett & Sons check is usually standing on your street within a day when a follow-up is needed. In neighborhoods like Woodbridge and Heritage Park, we’ve handled everything from post-tension slab additions to full exterior re-scopes after storm seasons beat up the roof decking.
Every completed construction job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. No chasing a national phone tree, no “we’ll see what the regional manager says.” Just a local company that answers its own phone.
Construction Services We Offer in Sachse
Kitchen Remodeling
We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria countertops in Sachse kitchens, and every cabinet line and counter material gets priced before the job starts. If you add an allowance mid-project, it arrives as a written change order, never a surprise invoice at the end. Learn more about Kitchen Remodeling in Sachse.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom remodels in Sachse often mean moving walls on post-tension slab floors, and that requires an engineer’s sign-off and specific saw-cutting protocols. We pull permits and coordinate inspections on every eligible job, and we tell you honestly when a wall can or can’t move before you fall in love with a layout. Learn more about Bathroom Remodeling in Sachse.
Roofing
Hail and wind hammer Sachse roofs, and we carry GAF and CertainTeed systems rather than mystery brand materials off a van. A full replacement includes an inspection of the decking beneath, which we document and price in writing if it’s compromised. Learn more about Roofing in Sachse.
Windows & Doors
We install Andersen, Marvin, Simonton, and Ply Gem windows across Sachse, and the pricing covers the full opening, not just the sash. You get a written line-item quote before ordering, so the number on the contract is the number you pay.
Fence Installation
Sachse fences cope with the same clay heave as the houses, and post depth matters more out here than it does on sandier soil. We set posts below the active heave zone and back everything with the same 90-Day Done Right Promise as a full remodel.
Driveway & Pavers
Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers are our standard hardscape materials, because they’re brands you can research before we start. Every paver project starts with a compaction plan matched to your soil and your drainage, not someone else’s in another county.
Home Additions & ADUs
Second-story additions and ADUs in Sachse mean engineering around slab and grade, and we bring the licensed professionals with us before the first saw cut. Permits, inspections, and written change orders are non-negotiable on our side. See the home page for our full range of construction and remodeling work.

Why Sachse’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Sachse sits squarely on the Blackland Prairie’s expansive black-clay belt, and virtually every project here, from a room addition to a driveway replacement, has to be engineered around soil that can heave or shrink several inches seasonally. Unlike a neighboring city like Plano with more varied soil profiles, nearly all of 75048 is uniform high-plasticity clay. That’s the central challenge on every job. North Texas cycles between drought and heavy rainfall, and late-summer dry spells can drop the soil away from grade beams mid-project. If your contractor doesn’t know what that does to a footing, they’ll find out on your foundation.
Most Sachse homes were built between roughly 1990 and 2015, meaning post-tension slab construction is the norm across entire subdivisions. These homes are now hitting the 20-to-30-year mark, which drives the demand we see for second-story additions, master suite expansions, and full kitchen gut-remodels. Because so many Sachse subdivisions were platted and built by the same regional builders in tight time windows, entire streets often share identical slab layouts. That can speed up the engineering phase, but Sachse enforces its own permitting separately from both Collin and Dallas county processes, so every house still gets its own permits and its own confirmatory inspections.

FAQs About Construction in Sachse
A Sachse kitchen remodel typically runs $28,000 to $65,000, with the final number driven by cabinetry, counters, and whether you’re moving walls on a post-tension slab. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written line-item quote, free.
No. If anything changes, it arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises.
Yes. The city enforces its own permitting separately from both Collin and Dallas county processes, and we pull permits and coordinate inspections on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why I like him.
An addition or ADU in 75048 usually takes 10 to 20 weeks, with engineering review and the clay soil prep taking a meaningful share of that. A full kitchen remodel typically lands around 6 to 10 weeks. We’ll put a realistic schedule in writing with your quote.
Yes, and this is where the Blackland Prairie clay matters most. Post-tension slab construction in Sachse requires licensed engineers and specific saw-cutting protocols before any slab penetration. We bring the right professionals in before the first cut, every time. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll talk through your specific home.

What Sachse 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
