If you own a home in Southlake, you already know the drill: big lots, big roofs, big expectations, and a wall of HOA rules behind every fence. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been working on Southlake homes long enough to know which subdivisions will flag a roof color and which ones want storm-ready windows that still look like they belong on a 1997 custom build. Call Tom at (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a real person who knows Southlake, not a call center that’s never seen the Texas sun.

Why Southlake Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
In a city like Southlake, where the median home pushes past a million dollars and the neighbors notice everything, a contractor who cuts corners doesn’t stay busy for long. Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That means the name on the truck is the name that answers when something goes wrong. Homeowners in Timarron and Carillon have called us because their previous contractor quoted one price on the phone and handed them a different invoice after the work was done. We don’t do that. Every scope, every allowance, and every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves.
We hold ourselves to a 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job. It’s written in the contract, not whispered in a sales pitch. If it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right, one call. No forms, no phone tree, no third-party warranty company.

Roofing in Southlake
Southlake Roofing on hip-and-valley rooflines and full masonry exteriors means tear-offs and replacements need crews that understand water channels, flashing details, and steep-pitch safety. We carry GAF and CertainTeed shingles, plus standing seam metal for homeowners who want a roof that outlasts the mortgage.

Windows & Doors in Southlake
Windows & Doors - Southlake means large custom windows in two-story great rooms let in Texas light, but they also let in Texas heat when the seals fail. We install Andersen, Marvin, Simonton, and PGT windows that hold up to DFW summers without turning your living room into a solarium.
Fence Installation in Southlake
Southlake’s tree ordinance means fence lines often weave around mature oaks and cedar elms. Our crews build around roots the right way, not through them, and we handle HOA submission paperwork so the board sees what they need to see before posts go in.
Driveway & Pavers in Southlake
Expansive clay soil under Southlake driveways means a slab poured without proper base prep will crack within years. We use Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers on properly prepared bases so driveways and patios stay level through wet-dry cycles.
Home Additions & ADU in Southlake
Southlake is essentially built out, so adding square footage means working within existing setbacks, HOA design guidelines, and tree preservation rules. We handle the site plan, the permit, and the inspection, and we bring the inspector in because the permit inspector works for you, not for me.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Southlake
We work throughout Southlake, and most job sites are within a short drive of our DFW-area office. Typical response for an estimate request is same day or next day depending on the time of year.
- Timarron – known for golf-course lots and strict architectural review
- Carillon – large custom homes with complex rooflines
- Shady Oaks – mature trees that trigger the tree preservation ordinance

- Kirkwood Hollow – established streets where neighbors compare notes on contractors
Why Southlake’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Southlake’s housing stock was built almost entirely during the 1990s through 2010s boom, which means the first wave of full-system replacements is happening right now. Roofs that were installed in 2002 are reaching their third decade, windows with original seals are fogging, and masonry exteriors are showing the kind of hairline settling that Blackland Prairie clay always eventually forces. Southlake sits on expansive clay that swells when it rains and shrinks when it doesn’t, so foundation drainage and grade-away slopes are live concerns on nearly every project, even a simple fence or driveway.
Summers regularly push past 100°F, which compresses outdoor framing and masonry schedules. We build that reality into our timelines up front and run strict heat-illness protocols for every crew member. If a contractor tells you they’ll knock out a Southlake patio in July on a three-day schedule, ask them how they’re handling the heat index at 3 p.m.

FAQs About Construction in Southlake
A kitchen remodel in Southlake typically costs between $45,000 and $120,000, with the biggest drivers being cabinet line, countertop material, and whether you’re moving plumbing or removing walls. Southlake homes often have 400+ square foot kitchens with large islands, which pushes materials and labor higher than the national average. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Yes, most structural, electrical, plumbing, and roofing work in Southlake requires a city permit and inspection. We pull permits and schedule inspections on every eligible job, because the permit inspector works for you, not for me. A contractor who says permits are optional is cutting a corner that can come back on you at resale.
Only if the scope changes, and only with a written change order signed before the new work begins. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We put every scope, every allowance, and every price adjustment in writing before a single nail moves.
Yes. Southlake protects trees above a certain caliper size on private lots, and removing a protected tree requires a city permit plus a mitigation or replacement plan. This can add two to four weeks to a project timeline before site work begins. We handle that paperwork as part of the job, and we plan for it from the first estimate.
Yes. Communities like Timarron and Carillon have architectural review boards that can reject materials, colors, or designs that wouldn’t raise an eyebrow one city over. We prepare HOA submissions as part of the project scope so the board sees what they need to see before work starts.

What Southlake Customers Say
"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"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
