AfterConstruction Services in Spanish Springs, NV
If you own a home in Spanish Springs, you already know the score: this valley sits on caliche hardpan that stops a standard post-hole digger cold, and a lot of the houses here went up fast during the mid-2000s boom. That means construction and remodeling work here rarely goes the way a coastal contractor would expect. Barrett & Sons Construction has worked these soils, these permit rules, and these homes. Tom Barrett and his sons run the crews themselves, and a live person answers the phone at (877) 610-1318 around the clock. If you’re planning a remodel, a roof replacement, or an addition in Spanish Springs, you want a contractor who knows what’s under the grass before the first trench is dug.

Why Spanish Springs Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Barrett & Sons was founded in 1998, and Tom Barrett has never run it as a franchise. When you call, you get a person. When a crew shows up, Tom or one of his sons is on site most days. The company publishes Tom’s name, address, and license number, and every job that requires a permit gets one pulled through Washoe County Community Services before work begins. That’s not a detail out here. Spanish Springs is unincorporated county land, not Sparks or Reno, and contractors who assume city rules apply end up delayed or red-tagged. Ours don’t.
Homeowners in the 89441 zip code have hired us for everything from a kitchen tear-out in the Wingfield Springs area to a fence rebuild off Calle de la Plata, where the wind off the valley funnels hard enough to lean a poorly set post in a single season. We answer calls from Spanish Springs residents directly, and when something isn’t right, Tom comes back. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract.
Construction Services We Offer in Spanish Springs
Kitchen Remodeling
A Spanish Springs kitchen remodel often exposes what the original tract build left behind: undersized circuits, shortcut framing, and plumbing angled to save time rather than serve the next thirty years. We plan around what’s actually inside the walls, and we install brands you can look up, like KraftMaid and Cambria. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Spanish Springs.
Bathroom Remodeling
Homes built between 1993 and 2015 in Spanish Springs tend to share the same batt insulation and the same exhaust-fan mistakes. A bathroom remodel here means fixing ventilation first so the new tile doesn’t fight moisture from day one. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Spanish Springs.
Roofing
The Washoe Zephyr winds that rip through this valley put real lateral load on roofs, and the hard freezes at 4,500 feet punish any flashing that wasn’t installed with freeze-resistant detailing. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems rated for this climate. Learn more about our Roofing in Spanish Springs.
Windows & Doors
Extreme diurnal temperature swings, low humidity, and stucco-clad wood frames mean Spanish Springs windows and doors take a beating that shows up as gaps, sticking, and drafts. We install Andersen and Marvin products and make sure the rough openings are corrected, not just covered.
Fence Installation
Fence posts in Spanish Springs have to go deep enough to get past the caliche and anchor against the wind. We’re used to bringing pneumatic chisels for the hardpan layers that stop ordinary augers. We install with materials from Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Pavers where hardscape meets fence line.
Driveway & Pavers
The expansive clay soils under Spanish Springs shift enough to crack a driveway slab in a few seasons if the base isn’t prepared right. We compact and grade for drainage before the first paver goes down, and we use pavers from Techo-Bloc, Cambridge Pavers, and Oldcastle so the product holds up under freeze and sun.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Spanish Springs means county permits, frost-depth footings, and a foundation plan that accounts for what the soils report says. We pull every permit, schedule every inspection, and document every allowance in writing before the work starts.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Spanish Springs
We work throughout the 89441 zip code, and we’re typically able to get a crew to most Spanish Springs addresses the same week we sign a contract. Some of the neighborhoods where we’ve worked recently include:
- Wingfield Springs
- Eagle Canyon
- Off Pyramid Highway near Calle de la Plata
- Near Lazy 5 Regional Park
- The newer subdivisions east of Vista Boulevard

Why Spanish Springs’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Spanish Springs is not a generic suburb, and any contractor who treats it like one is going to leave you with problems. Most of the housing stock here is wood-frame, stucco-clad tract construction built between 1993 and 2015, with a heavy concentration from the 2004-2007 bubble. Those homes went up fast, under volume pressure, and the same shortcuts often show up house after house: undersized HVAC, sloppy drainage grades, and framing that looked fine on punch day but didn’t hold up.
Then there’s the ground itself. The valley floor has caliche hardpan layers that stop standard excavation equipment a foot or two down. The expansive clay soils swell and shrink with moisture, which is why you see driveways cracking and fences leaning in patterns that follow the soil, not the weather. And because Spanish Springs is unincorporated Washoe County, every permit runs through Washoe County Community Services, a process that trips up contractors who assume Sparks or Reno rules apply. We plan for all of it before we quote, so the price you get is the price you pay.

FAQs About Construction in Spanish Springs
Most full-scale remodels in Spanish Springs run between $18,000 for a single bathroom and $80,000 for a mid-range kitchen, before any structural surprises. The caliche and clay soils under the valley add to excavation and foundation costs that a coastal quote won’t include. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a written line-item estimate based on your actual plan, not a square-foot guess.
Not without your signature. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. If we discover something inside your walls, we stop, document it, and give you the number in writing before we touch it.
Yes. Spanish Springs is unincorporated Washoe County, which means every permit runs through Washoe County Community Services. We pull every eligible permit and schedule every inspection. The inspector works for you, not for me. That’s the whole point.
It depends on the scope. A bathroom remodel typically runs three to six weeks; a kitchen runs six to ten; an addition or ADU can run four to eight months with permitting. We’ll give you a realistic schedule in writing before you sign, and we’ll tell you when caliche or weather is going to slow things down rather than letting you find out later.
Yes. Our published standing offers are $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount. These aren’t seasonal. They’re just how we price.

What Spanish Springs 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
