AfterConstruction Services in Taylor, TX
Construction in Taylor, TX right now is shaped by one massive fact: Samsung’s $17 billion semiconductor fabrication plant on the city’s northern edge. That project has pulled framing crews, concrete teams, and mechanical trades toward the fab site, which means residential work here books out months ahead, not weeks. If you’re planning a remodel, roof, fence, addition, or paver job in the 76574, the smart move is to get on a schedule early and lock your pricing in writing. Call Barrett & Sons Construction at (877) 610-1318, and a live person answers 24/7 to take your information, walk your property with you, and give you a free estimate with no trip charge anywhere inside the county.

Why Taylor Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and he runs it the same way today: his name is on the truck, his sons run the crews, and his license number is published for anyone to look up. That matters in Taylor, where homeowners in the established neighborhoods near Main Street and the older sections around Robinson Park are dealing with houses built in the 1940s through 1970s, homes that need a contractor who understands pier-and-beam foundations and Blackland Prairie soil movement. We’ve worked in Green Meadows, on homes near Taylor High School, and throughout the historic district around downtown. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed on every visit, and Tom lives close enough that if you have a problem after the job, he’s going to hear about it at the hardware store before he hears about it from you. That’s not a threat; it’s the reason we finish jobs right the first time.
Construction Services We Offer in Taylor
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen Remodeling - Taylor projects often start with older homes that run small by modern standards, and many were last updated when the house was still on a septic-only lot. We open walls, fix framing compromised by decades of humidity and soil shift, and install KraftMaid and Cambria products you can look up by name before we order a single cabinet.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Taylor.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling - Taylor jobs often reveal cast-iron drain lines and floor joists that have sagged under Blackland Prairie movement. Our crews are used to it; we address the structural reality before tile ever touches the wall, and every change to scope arrives as a written change order.

Roofing
Hail and straight-line wind are facts of life in Williamson County, and Taylor Roofing jobs often involve older homes with roof decks that predate modern sheathing standards. We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, pull the permit, and get the inspection signed before we call the job complete.

Windows & Doors
Many Taylor homes still have original single-pane Windows & Doors in Taylor that leak conditioned air all summer. We carry Andersen, Marvin, Simonton, and other premium brands, and we’ll give you a written line-item quote so you know exactly what each opening costs.
Learn more about our home page for the full range of what we do.
Fence Installation
Fence posts in Taylor’s expansive clay need deeper setting and better drainage than a national crew might bother with. We build fences that stand straight through drought cracking and heavy spring rains, with every post depth spelled out in the contract.
Call (877) 610-1318 for a free fence estimate in Taylor, no trip charge inside the county.
Driveway & Pavers
Taylor’s soil expansion means a driveway that isn’t properly compacted and graded will heave within a few seasons. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers over base layers engineered for Blackland Prairie conditions, and we document the substrate before the pavers go down.
Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate for driveway and paver work in Taylor.
Home Additions & ADU
The Samsung build-out has put enormous pressure on Taylor’s housing stock, and a growing number of homeowners are adding ADUs or expanding existing footprints rather than competing for scarce new construction lots. We handle permits, engineering, and full build-out, and every allowance is on paper before work begins.
Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through an addition or ADU in Taylor.

Why Taylor’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Taylor sits on the Blackland Prairie, and that’s not a detail to gloss over. The black clay soil here swells hard after heavy rain and cracks deep during dry Texas summers. That cycle works slabs, foundations, and pier-and-beam structures more aggressively than the limestone ground in the Hill Country west of here. Homes built in Taylor before the 1980s were rarely engineered for this level of movement, and we regularly find cracked piers, settled slabs, and doors that no longer close square. On the city’s expanding edges, developers are putting up new subdivisions on former agricultural land with no site-prep history, which means drainage grading and post-tension slab engineering are the difference between a house that settles evenly and one that starts telegraphing problems in year three. If you’re adding on, pouring a driveway, or remodeling a home on a pier-and-beam crawlspace in Taylor, the soil under the job is the first thing we look at. A contractor who ignores it is setting you up for a call you didn’t want to make in five years.
Pricing for Construction in Taylor
Here’s honest money talk for Taylor. A full kitchen remodel in the 76574 typically runs between $35,000 and $75,000 depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and how much structural work the house needs.

Not without your signature. Every scope change, every allowance adjustment, every material substitution at Barrett & Sons arrives as a written change order before any work proceeds.

If you want to understand exactly how change orders work before you sign, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through it.
Yes. Permits are pulled and inspections signed on every eligible job, and we’ve never told a Taylor homeowner that permits are optional.

What Taylor Customers Say
"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."
- Gideon Stroud"The bathroom was finished on the day he said at the start, which nobody had led me to believe was possible."
- Loretta Vanterpool"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."
