AfterConstruction Services in Westlake Village, CA
If you own a home in Westlake Village, you’ve likely noticed something: your house is about the same age as every other house on your street. That’s not a coincidence. Most of this community was built between the late 1960s and mid-1980s. And that means the roof, the windows, the kitchen cabinets, and the plumbing all started their clocks ticking around the same time. When one home on your block needs a re-roof, yours is probably not far behind. Barrett & Sons Construction handles the full range of construction and remodeling work in Westlake Village, from kitchens and bathrooms to roofing, windows, fences, driveways, and home additions. Tom Barrett answers his own phone at (877) 610-1318, and he’ll give you a straight answer about what the job costs.

Construction Services We Offer in Westlake Village
Kitchen Remodeling
A kitchen remodel in Westlake Village often means working around post-tension concrete slabs and original late-1970s framing, which limits some plumbing reconfiguration. We install KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria countertops, materials you can research before you commit. Kitchen Remodeling in Westlake Village.
Bathroom Remodeling
Older Westlake Village homes frequently have bathrooms built to 1970s dimensions, which means careful planning beats knocking down every wall. We handle full gut remodels, curbless showers for aging-in-place, and everything between. Bathroom Remodeling in Westlake Village.
Roofing
Because Westlake Village sits inside a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, your roof is not just shelter; it’s your property’s first line of defense against an ember storm. We install GAF and CertainTeed Class A roofing systems and coordinate every re-roof with the city permit office. Roofing in Westlake Village.
Windows & Doors
HOA exterior rules in Westlake Village are strict about window and door styles, so we handle the architectural-committee paperwork as part of the job. We install Andersen and Marvin windows that meet Title 24 energy standards and the community’s design review requirements.
Fence Installation
Santa Ana winds give Westlake Village fences a shorter lifespan than they’d get in coastal ZIP codes. We build redwood, cedar, and vinyl fences with post depths suited to the local hillside soil conditions.
Driveway & Pavers
We install paver driveways and walkways using Belgard and Techo-Bloc products, engineered for the valley’s summer heat and the occasional freeze-thaw cycle on cold winter nights. Proper base preparation prevents the shifting and settling common on graded lots.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Westlake Village means navigating both city permits and HOA design review, plus Chapter 7A fire-hardening standards on new exterior walls and roof lines. We handle all three layers so the project doesn’t stall halfway through. Home.

Why Westlake Village’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Westlake Village was built almost entirely as a master-planned community starting in the late 1960s, so the housing stock is unusually age-uniform. Walk down any street near Westlake Lake and you’ll see stucco-and-tile tract homes and custom hillside estates that all entered their fifth decade around the same time. That concentration of aging systems means we see the same conditions on nearly every job: post-tension slabs, original aluminum wiring in older units, and wood framing that predates California’s Title 24 energy mandates. You’re not dealing with a random collection of problems; you’re dealing with the predictable life cycle of a late-1970s house.
Then there’s the fire risk. Westlake Village sits inside a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, which the 2018 Woolsey Fire made impossible to ignore. Any new addition, re-roof, or window replacement must satisfy California Building Code Chapter 7A fire-resistant construction standards: ember-resistant vents, fire-rated eaves, and Class A roofing assemblies. At the same time, the community’s HOA covenants tightly control exterior materials and paint palettes. Some fire-rated vent covers and fiber-cement siding products meet Chapter 7A but not the HOA’s architectural character standards. A contractor who doesn’t plan dual-approval time, city permit plus HOA committee, into every exterior project will leave you standing with approved plans and no approved materials. We build that time in from the first estimate.
