AfterConstruction Services in Wylie, TX
If you own a home in Wylie built between 1997 and 2018, there’s a good chance you’re noticing things you didn’t notice five years ago. Hairline cracks running up the drywall near a window. A door that doesn’t latch the way it used to. Shingles that look tired after the last hail season. We answer the phones at Barrett & Sons Construction around the clock, and we know Wylie’s housing stock well enough to tell you what you’re seeing and whether it needs attention. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll talk to a live person, not a voicemail box.

Why Wylie Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Barrett & Sons is owned and operated by Tom Barrett. He founded the company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you hire us, you get the name on the truck, not a franchise dispatching strangers to your street. We work throughout Wylie, including Woodbridge, Inspiration, and the neighborhoods along FM 544 and McCreary Road. Our customers tell us the same things over and over: they knew the price before we started, the permit inspector signed off, and when something needed a second look, Tom came back. That’s the whole point of our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract. If it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right.
We carry premium materials you can look up yourself. KraftMaid and Cambria in kitchens. GAF and CertainTeed on roofs. Andersen and Marvin on windows. Belgard and Techo-Bloc on hardscapes. No mystery brands off a van. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Construction Services We Offer in Wylie
Kitchen Remodeling
Wylie kitchens from the early-2000s boom tend to show the same thing: builder-grade cabinets with sagging shelves, laminate counters worn through at the sink, and layouts that fought the homeowner from day one. We plan the whole job on paper before a single cabinet gets ordered, and every allowance lands in writing. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Wylie.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathrooms in Wylie’s tract-built homes run small and tight, and many of the post-2000 builds used fiberglass surrounds that have seen better days. We handle full tear-outs, layout changes, and aging-in-place upgrades, with permits pulled and inspections signed. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Wylie.
Roofing
North Texas hail doesn’t care how new your subdivision is. Wylie roofs take a beating, and we install GAF and CertainTeed systems rated to handle the next storm. Every roof gets a written line-item scope before work begins. Learn more about our Roofing in Wylie.
Windows & Doors
Builder-grade windows from the early 2000s are failing across entire Wylie neighborhoods at the same time. We install Andersen, Marvin, Simonton, and Ply Gem products with proper flashing and insulation, not a caulk-and-go swap. Learn more about our home services and how we approach window replacement the right way.
Fence Installation
Good fences hold up to Wylie’s clay soil movement and the wind that whips across the prairie. We set posts properly and back them with concrete, so your fence doesn’t lean after two seasons. Written quotes, fixed pricing, no surprises.
Driveway & Pavers
Concrete on Blackland Prairie clay needs proper base prep or it cracks within a few years. We pour driveways and install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with drainage in mind, because we’ve seen what standing water does to slabs in Wylie.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Wylie means planning for slab work, drainage, and permits. We pull permits on every eligible job and the inspector signs off before we call it done. The permit inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.

Why Wylie’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Wylie didn’t grow gradually. It exploded from roughly 3,000 residents in 1990 to well over 50,000 today. That means the housing stock is almost entirely builder-grade tract construction from the mid-1990s through the 2020s, nearly all of it sitting on post-tension concrete slabs poured over North Texas’ expansive Blackland Prairie clay. The clay shrinks during summer drought cycles and heaves back with fall and spring rains, generating enough force to crack slabs, shift door and window frames, and separate brick veneer from the structural wall. The February 2021 freeze further exposed construction deficiencies in many post-2000 homes built to minimal cold-weather insulation and pipe-protection standards.
Foundation and framing contractors working Wylie’s early-2000s subdivisions quickly learn to check the lot’s original drainage grade. The rapid-build era produced inconsistent grading that pools water against slabs on the downhill side of cul-de-sacs, accelerating clay heave on one corner of a home while the opposite corner dries out. That creates a diagonal racking pattern in drywall and door frames that is a near-signature defect in those specific streets. When we walk a Wylie home for a remodeling estimate, we’re also reading the slab and the drainage, because those tell us what the project actually needs.

What Wylie Customers Say
"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."
- Camila Fuentes"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
