AfterConstruction Services in Seabrook, TX
If you’re trying to figure out what construction work is going to cost in Seabrook and whether you need permits, flood-zone sign-offs, or an engineer, you’re asking the right questions. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been building and remodeling along this stretch of Galveston Bay long enough to know that Seabrook jobs require a different level of care than one a few miles inland. Call us at (877) 610-1318 and you’ll talk to a real person who knows the difference between a breakaway-wall enclosure and a garage, which matters more than you’d think down here.

Why Seabrook Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Seabrook’s housing stock didn’t get here by accident. Between the bay, the flood maps, and the building codes written after Hurricane Harvey, a contractor either knows how to work in this environment or they learn at your expense. We’d rather be the first kind. Homeowners in El Lago and Lake Cove call us because we show up with written change orders, pull permits on eligible work, and don’t hand over a bill that looks nothing like the estimate. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run crews here locally. You can look up our license number, drive past a job we’re on, or ask the neighbor three doors down. We answer our own phone, and if something isn’t done right, Tom comes back. Every contract carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Construction Services We Offer in Seabrook
Kitchen Remodeling
A gut remodel in a 1980s Seabrook ranch is different from one in a newer build. We handle layout changes, structural openings, and material upgrades with written allowances so you see every dollar before it’s spent. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Seabrook.
Bathroom Remodeling
From compact hall baths to master suites with walk-in showers, we plan for ventilation and moisture control that salt air makes non-negotiable. We install premium fixtures and stand behind the work. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Seabrook.
Roofing
Roofs in Seabrook take wind, salt, and tropical downpours. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with the right underlayment and fasteners for bayfront exposure, and we pull permits so your installation passes inspection. Learn more about our Roofing in Seabrook.
Windows & Doors
Impact-rated windows from Simonton, PGT, and Ply Gem are a regular request in Seabrook’s wind zones. We measure, order, and install units that meet code while cutting your cooling bills.
Fence Installation
We build fences that stay plumb in clay soil and withstand salt air. We set posts below the movement line and use corrosion-resistant hardware, so your fence isn’t leaning by the second spring.
Driveway & Pavers
Techo-Bloc and Belgard pavers are popular choices for Seabrook driveways and patios. We grade for drainage first, because standing water on a low lot becomes a problem fast.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Seabrook means meeting current flood-zone and elevation standards. We coordinate with the Harris County permitting office and your engineer so the addition complies from day one.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Seabrook
We work across Seabrook and know the difference between a pier-and-slab home in Lake Cove and a split-level in El Lago. Our crews are typically on-site in the area within a day or two of the estimate, depending on scope. Seabrook neighborhoods we serve include:
- El Lago
- Lake Cove
- The Point
- Baybrook
- Clear Lake Forest
Why Seabrook’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Seabrook sits on the western shore of Galveston Bay, and the 77586 zip code is threaded through FEMA AE and VE flood zones. Hurricane Harvey’s 2017 flooding didn’t just damage homes here, it triggered a wave of elevations and rebuilds that changed what construction means in this city. We regularly work on bayfront streets where homes now sit 8 to 12 feet up on concrete or steel pilings, which means staircase additions, breakaway-wall enclosures, and utility re-routing through elevated floor systems are everyday jobs for us. Inland contractors don’t see this kind of work, and it shows. Salt-laden air also accelerates corrosion, so we specify stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners and connectors as standard practice on Seabrook projects. The clay soil moves, the water table stays high, and the codes are stricter here. We plan for all of it.

What Seabrook 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
