AfterConstruction Services in Whitney, NV
If you own a home in Whitney, you’ve likely hit the moment where a small fix stops being small. A hairline crack in a block wall, a roof that’s shedding granules after fifteen summers of 110-degree heat, a Kitchen Remodeling - Whitney project waiting to happen with that original 1970s layout. That’s what we handle at Barrett & Sons Construction, and we handle it with the paperwork done right. Crews live and work here in Whitney, so when you call (877) 610-1318, you’re not explaining your neighborhood to a call center in another state.
Most of our Whitney jobs start with one request: come look at it and tell me the truth. The truth usually lives in two places. What’s behind the wall, and what Clark County will require before we touch it. We cover both, in writing, before the first tool comes off the truck.

Why Whitney Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
The short version: Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews today. That’s not a marketing line. If you hire us for Whitney Roofing or a kitchen remodel near the Whitney Recreation Center, or that roof replacement off Tropicana Avenue, the person running the job has the same last name as the guy who signs the contract. We live twenty minutes away, and if something isn’t right, we want to know about it before you have to ask.
Whitney homeowners tend to come to us after a bad experience with a company that quoted one number and delivered another. So we do the opposite on purpose. Every scope, every allowance, every price change gets written down and handed to you before work happens. No surprise invoices at the end. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why we like having him on site. You can look up Tom’s name, address, and license number any time. Ask anyone on your street. Then call someone else and ask if they’ll show you theirs.
We’ve worked throughout 89122, from the neighborhoods near Boulder Highway up to the edges of the Sam Boyd Stadium area. These homes have a specific character, and we know what we’re walking into before we arrive.
Construction Services We Offer in Whitney
Kitchen Remodeling
Most Whitney kitchens we open up have concrete block behind the drywall, not wood studs, and that changes how we anchor cabinets, route electrical, and hang drywall. We install KraftMaid and Cambria because those are brands you can look up and hold us to. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Whitney.
Bathroom Remodeling
A Whitney bathroom built in the 1960s or 1970s often hides cast-iron drain lines that are nearing the end of their service life. We don’t tile over a failing pipe; we open the wall, show you what’s there, and put the fix on paper before we cover anything back up. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Whitney.
Roofing
Low-slope built-up roofs and aging asphalt shingles dominate this part of Whitney. Summer heat here degrades roofing membranes faster than the manufacturer’s rated lifespan, so we inspect with that reality in mind. We carry GAF and CertainTeed, and every roofing job through Clark County carries its own permit and inspection requirements. Learn more about our Roofing in Whitney.
Windows & Doors
Many Whitney homes still have their original Windows & Doors - Whitney aluminum-framed units, and those frames conduct heat straight into the house from April through October. We install Andersen and Marvin units sized correctly for CBS wall openings, which are thicker than standard wood-frame rough openings and need proper flashing.
Fence Installation
Wind is a real factor in Whitney, and fence posts that aren’t set deep enough will lean within two seasons. We set posts below the caliche line where necessary and use hardware rated for high-wind exposure, not whatever is cheapest at the big-box store.
Driveway & Pavers
Clay-heavy soil and caliche hardpan under much of Whitney mean drainage has to be planned before a single paver goes down. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc systems with the base work done right, because a paver driveway is only as good as what’s underneath it.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage to a CBS home in Whitney means matching the existing block construction, not just framing a wood box and calling it a day. Clark County has specific requirements for setback, egress, and tie-in to existing structures, and we handle that from the first drawing to the final inspection.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Whitney
We work throughout the 89122 ZIP, including the neighborhoods along Boulder Highway, the streets near Whitney Elementary and Whitney Park, and the residential blocks east of the Sam Boyd Stadium area toward the county line. Most Whitney calls get a crew on site within one to two business days for estimates.
- Neighborhoods around Whitney Elementary School
- Whitney Park and the residential blocks to the north
- Boulder Highway corridor between Tropicana and Russell
- Areas near Sam Boyd Stadium and east to the county edge
Why Whitney’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Whitney sits in unincorporated Clark County, which means every permit, inspection, and code enforcement action runs through the Clark County Building Department, not the City of Las Vegas. That distinction catches a lot of out-of-area contractors flat-footed. They show up, pull the wrong permit through the wrong portal, and the job stalls. We don’t, because Whitney is part of our regular service area and we know which desk to call.
The housing stock here is another thing that separates Whitney from the newer master-planned communities. The 89122 ZIP is packed with mid-century single-story CBS ranch homes built during the first big Las Vegas growth surge. Concrete block, not wood studs. Flat or low-slope built-up roofs, not steep shingle pitches. Original aluminum wiring in many cases, and block walls that predate modern wind-load code. Those homes need a contractor who understands lintel replacement, wall tie retrofits, and how to anchor into block without cracking it. That’s the kind of work we do here regularly, and it’s a different skillset from what a wood-frame home in a newer subdivision demands.
Then there’s the weather. Summer temperatures in Whitney routinely push past 110°F, and that shapes every exterior job we schedule. Concrete pours compress into the early morning. Roofing adhesive cures faster. Caulking around windows and doors degrades in years, not decades, and replacement cycles here run shorter than manufacturer warranties suggest. If a quote from another company doesn’t mention any of this, ask yourself whether they’ve actually built anything in Whitney.
Pricing for Construction in Whitney
Honest numbers, because you deserve them before you call. Kitchen remodels in Whitney typically run $35,000 to $85,000 depending on the scope, layout changes, and material choices. Bathroom Remodeling in Whitney generally falls between $18,000 and $40,000. Roof replacement on a typical mid-century CBS home lands between $9,000 and $18,000, with low-slope built-up roofs toward the higher end. Driveways and paver work run $12 to $22 per square foot installed. Home additions and ADUs start around $150,000 because of the CBS tie-in work and Clark County requirements.
Every estimate is line-itemed, and every price change comes as a written change order before work proceeds. We also offer $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge anywhere in the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount.

FAQs About Construction in Whitney
A full kitchen remodel in Whitney typically runs $35,000 to $85,000. The range depends on whether you’re moving walls, replacing the electrical panel, or keeping the original footprint. CBS homes add a layer of labor for anchoring and drywall work. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written, line-item estimate on your specific kitchen.
Only if you ask for it to, and only with your signature first. Every allowance, every scope change, every material upgrade arrives as a written change order before the work happens. We don’t do surprise invoices. If a contractor won’t put allowances on paper, that allowance is a surprise waiting for a date.
Yes, on every eligible job. Whitney sits under Clark County jurisdiction, which has its own permit portal and inspection scheduling system separate from the City of Las Vegas. We handle every filing and inspection from start to finish. The inspector works for you, not for us, and we want him on site.
Most single-story Whitney roofs take three to five working days once we’re on the schedule, depending on whether it’s a shingle tear-off or a built-up flat roof overlay. Summer heat compresses the window for certain adhesives, so we sequence that work deliberately. Your written estimate will include the timeline.
That’s the majority of what we work on in Whitney. Block homes require specific knowledge for lintel replacement, wall tie retrofits, and anchoring into block. We’ve done it enough times in this ZIP that there’s rarely a surprise we haven’t seen before. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll take a look.

What Whitney Customers Say
"Genuinely good builders and I would use them again. Site tidiness slipped a bit in the middle stretch and I had to mention it, after which it was spotless every evening."
- Marcus Threadgill"Every change to the price came as a written change order before the work happened, not as a surprise on the final bill. I did not know contractors still did that."
- Xiomara Benavides"Tom Barrett was on our job most days himself, not just at the quote and then never again. When something needed deciding there was an actual person to decide it with."
