Why Santa Clarita Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Most of the homeowners who call us have already been through the wringer once. They hired someone who quoted one price on the phone, showed up with a different number, and then got hard to reach when questions came up. That’s not how we work. Every scope, every allowance, and every price change at Barrett & Sons arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, which is exactly why we pull permits and have inspections signed on every eligible job.
We’re a local name in Valencia and Saugus, not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up yourself before you sign anything. Every completed job carries the written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. Crew members are background-checked and uniformed on every visit, and a live person answers the phone 24/7 when you call.

Roofing
Santa Clarita Roofing matters because the city sits in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone - your roof isn’t just shelter, it’s your first line of defense against ember intrusion. We install Class A roofing assemblies that meet California WUI code, with names like GAF and CertainTeed on the estimate.
Learn more about our Roofing in Santa Clarita.
Windows & Doors
Replacing windows in this valley means accounting for 105-degree summers and near-freezing winter nights, a thermal swing that cheap units don’t handle gracefully. Andersen and Marvin windows are on the table here, written into the line items before we order anything.
Learn more about our Windows & Doors - Santa Clarita work.
Fence Installation
From HOA-approved vinyl privacy fences in Stevenson Ranch to redwood board-on-board in Canyon Country, we’re familiar with what each Santa Clarita community requires. Fence work here often needs architectural review before the city even sees the permit application.
Learn more about our fence installation in Santa Clarita.
Driveway & Pavers
Pavers expand and contract differently than poured concrete, which matters when summer afternoons hit 105 and winter nights drop below 40. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc systems with base prep that accounts for that thermal swing.
Learn more about our driveway and paver work in Santa Clarita.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Santa Clarita means navigating HOA review, city plan check, and in many neighborhoods, paseo easement boundaries that don’t show on a casual assessor map. We’ve done it enough to flag the problems before your permit application stalls.

Why Santa Clarita’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Here’s what makes Santa Clarita different from Burbank or Glendale and why it matters to your project. The city sits squarely in a Wildland-Urban Interface zone, with vast portions designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone by CAL FIRE. Virtually all new construction and major renovations here must comply with California’s WUI codes: ignition-resistant exterior assemblies, ember-resistant venting, Class A roofing, and non-combustible decking. Those requirements are pervasive and strictly enforced in Santa Clarita in a way flatland LA suburbs never experience.
The housing stock compounds the issue. Tens of thousands of 1980s-through-2000s stucco tract homes in Valencia, Saugus, and Canyon Country are now aging into full roof, siding, and envelope replacement. Every one of those projects must be brought up to current WUI standards at permit time. And it’s not just fire codes. The Santa Clarita Valley runs 10 to 15 degrees hotter than the LA basin in summer, regularly exceeding 105 degrees, which compresses concrete pour windows and stresses roofing installations in ways coastal contractors rarely engineer for. The fierce fall Santa Ana winds funneling through the Newhall Pass are the same winds that drive our wildfire exposure and shape every exterior construction decision we make here.
Pricing for Construction in Santa Clarita
What you pay depends on scope, materials, and what the permit review uncovers. Here’s a straightforward ballpark so you can price with your eyes open. Smaller kitchen refreshes might start around $25,000, full kitchen remodels often land between $45,000 and $85,000. Bathrooms typically run $18,000 to $40,000. Roof replacements range from $12,000 to $30,000 depending on pitch and WUI requirements. Driveway paver work usually starts around $15 per square foot. ADUs and additions are the widest range: anywhere from $150,000 to well over $400,000 once plans, HOA review, and WUI compliance are factored in. Call (877) 610-1318 for written, line-item pricing on your specific project, free of charge.

FAQs About Construction in Santa Clarita
A home addition in Santa Clarita typically runs $150,000 to over $400,000 depending on square footage, structural requirements, WUI compliance, and HOA architectural review. The paseo easements in Valencia and HOA overlays elsewhere in the city add plan check time and sometimes force redesigns before the permit is even accepted. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Not without your signature. Every scope, allowance, and price change at Barrett & Sons 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 operate that way. If a change is needed, you’ll see it in writing and approve it before a single nail moves.
Yes. Permits are pulled and inspections are signed on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly why we like the process. Santa Clarita’s WUI requirements mean the inspection sign-off is often the only real proof your renovation meets current fire-resistive standards.
Kitchen remodels in Santa Clarita usually take 6 to 10 weeks from demo to final inspection, depending on scope and HOA review timelines. Bathrooms typically run 3 to 6 weeks. Larger additions and ADUs can take 4 to 8 months once plan check, HOA, and city review are all factored in. We’ll give you a written schedule before work starts, and any delay gets communicated the same day we know about it.
Yes, and they’re stricter than most homeowners expect. Santa Clarita sits in a CAL FIRE designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which means exterior assemblies, venting, roofing, and decking all must meet California WUI code at permit time. If your home is one of the thousands of 1980s-to-2000s tract houses now due for envelope replacement, the renovation must be brought up to current standards. Call (877) 610-1318 to have us walk your project against current requirements before you spend a dollar.

What Santa Clarita Customers Say
"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"He pulled every permit and had every inspection signed off. The last contractor we used told us permits were optional and I have been paying for that ever since."
- Redmond Cavanaugh"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
