AfterConstruction Services in San Carlos Park, FL
Construction in San Carlos Park means something different than it did a few years ago. Hurricane Ian changed how every contractor works here, and we’ve been on the ground through all of it. If you’re looking at a remodel, a roof, a window replacement, or a full rebuild, you’ll find us familiar with the 33967 permit process, the inspection timelines, and the way older 70s-era block homes react to Florida’s humidity and wind. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll reach a live person who knows this area, not a call center. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and Tom Barrett’s name has been on the truck since 1998.

Why San Carlos Park Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews themselves, and they’ve been working Lee County long enough to know exactly what the county inspector will ask about before they even show up. Homeowners in neighborhoods like Three Oaks and San Carlos Estates have hired us, and we’ve earned a reputation for showing up when we say we will and putting the scope in writing before any work starts. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why I like him. That philosophy runs through everything we do. Tom publishes his license number, his name, and his address. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. Then call (877) 610-1318 and talk to a real person.
Construction Services We Offer in San Carlos Park
We cover the full range of construction work a 33967 homeowner is likely to need, from kitchens to fences to full additions. Here’s how each one works in this area.
Kitchen Remodeling
San Carlos Park’s 1970s and 80s block homes often carry original layouts that squeeze a kitchen into a corner. We open those spaces up and install premium materials like KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria countertops so you can look up exactly what you’re getting. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in San Carlos Park.
Bathroom Remodeling
Older bathrooms here frequently hide moisture problems behind tile, especially in CBS homes with original plumbing. We tear out, inspect what’s underneath, and rebuild with current Lee County codes in mind. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in San Carlos Park.
Roofing
Flat or low-slope roofs on 70s block homes take a beating from summer storms and Ian’s legacy. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems engineered to the wind speeds Lee County now enforces. Learn more about our Roofing in San Carlos Park.
Windows & Doors
Those original single-pane jalousie or aluminum-frame windows fail current wind-mitigation standards almost every time. We install Andersen, Marvin, Simonton, and PGT products that meet the code and actually seal out the humidity. This is one of the most common upgrades we handle in San Carlos Park, and it directly affects your wind mitigation credits and insurance renewal.
Fence Installation
We build fences that hold up to flat, wet ground and tropical storms, with posts set deeper than standard for Lee County’s sandy, saturated soil. Wood, vinyl, or aluminum, your call.
Driveway & Pavers
Standing water after a summer thunderstorm is a fact of life in this low-lying area. We grade and install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers to move water away from your slab, not into it.
Home Additions & ADU
San Carlos Park’s larger lots sometimes allow for a second unit or a room addition. We pull the Lee County permits, manage the inspections, and bring the new construction up to current wind-load standards. Write your scope down before we start, and you’ll see every change on paper.
Neighborhoods We Serve in San Carlos Park
We work throughout the 33967 ZIP code, and we’re typically able to be on-site within a day or two of your call, depending on the season and permitting. Here are a few of the San Carlos Park neighborhoods where you’ll see our trucks most often:
- Three Oaks
- San Carlos Estates
- Preserve at Corkscrew
- Landings at Verandah
Why San Carlos Park’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
San Carlos Park sits inside unincorporated Lee County on flat, low-lying ground that drains slowly. That means standing water after summer storms is common, and any slab, foundation, or paver job has to account for a high water table and active dewatering, even on what looks like a simple project. The housing stock is mostly single-story concrete block stucco from the 1970s through the 1990s, with original windows and low-slope roofs that were never built for the 150+ mph wind speeds Lee County now requires in post-Ian permit reviews. Since the community was directly in Hurricane Ian’s 2022 path, nearly every renovation and rebuild has to be brought up to current wind-load and water-intrusion standards. That’s not optional. It’s the reality of building in San Carlos Park, and a contractor who doesn’t tell you this up front is either ignorant or working without a permit.

What San Carlos Park Customers Say
"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"Came back a year later to sort a door that had dropped as the frame settled. No charge and no argument about whether it was covered."
- Thaddeus Oyelowo"Addition over the garage matched the original roofline and brickwork so closely that visitors do not realise it was added. He tracked down the closest brick he could find rather than settling."
