RESIDENTIAL FAQ

If you’re a resident of the greater Los Angeles area, there’s a good chance you’ve experienced our construction first-hand. Barrett has played an essential role in building and/or conducting overhauls at some of Southern California’s most popular destinations including the University of Southern California, Rosewood Miramar Beach, The Americana at Brand, Malibu Country Mart, and The Grove.

How Long will it take?

Our diverse portfolio covers the building needs of businesses, families, and individuals. This includes projects of varying difficulty from single-room renovations to ground-up construction of new structures.

With these past projects in mind, Barrett provides accurate completion time estimates on a phase-by-phase basis. To eliminate unwanted surprises and unnecessary delays, clients are included in our scheduling process from design through to occupancy.

Can I Live in my residence during construction?

Barrett completes the majority of residential building projects with clients present at their residence. Doing so is possible because we minimize disruption to the best of our ability.

We recognize that, unlike new-construction projects, special considerations must be taken to protect and preserve delicate, valuable aspects of your property such as art, furniture, and permanent fixtures. Barrett goes to great lengths to ensure all projects are safely and seamlessly executed.

For indoor construction, temporary barriers are erected to contain dust. Furniture is carefully moved out of harm’s way and/or covered. Floors are protected with a substantial, breathable, and environmentally-friendly material that guards against scratches, spills, and stains. On top of all that, air scrubbers filter microparticles and smells to keep you and your family breathing easy.

For outdoor projects, similar measures are taken to mitigate damage from heavy equipment and movement of raw materials.
