Barton Estates Remodeling for Older Homes
Barton Estates sits on old farmland. It was part of Sowers, a farm community that Irving annexed in 1954 and 1956. Barton Elementary went up in 1956 and is named for Lee Bose Barton, whose farm ran from Fouts Street to Pioneer.
Older houses tend to need new baths, kitchens, paint and fences. We quote work for homeowners and for rental property owners, including rehabs between tenants. Out back, slow-draining clay and West Irving Creek can change how yard and fence work goes.

What Shapes the Work in Barton Estates
Jobs here come down to the house, the ground and the creek. The house: in an older home, baths, kitchens, paint and trim are often worn or dated, so tell us when yours was built. The ground: USDA soil maps show loamy topsoil over dense clay, and the USDA rates that clay as very slow to let water through. The creek: West Irving Creek begins at Wyche Park, and its 1960s channel was built for smaller storms than it sees today, so the city is rebuilding it.

Work We Quote Here
Jobs that fit older homes, slow-draining clay and the creek in Barton Estates.
Bath and Kitchen Updates
Older homes often have dated baths and kitchens. We quote new tile, showers, vanities, countertops and backsplashes.
Rehabs Between Tenants
We quote work for homeowners and rental property owners, including paint, trim, tile and fixture work to get a house ready for the next lease.
Fences in Heavy Clay
Wet clay heaves and dry clay pulls back, so posts can tip over a few seasons. We quote post repairs, gates and full new fences.
Yard Work on Slow-Draining Clay
We offer sod, mulch and yard cleanup on these flat lots. Tell us if your yard stays wet after rain when you ask for a quote.
Storm Cleanup
Hail and high winds hit DFW most years, mostly in spring. We remove storm-damaged trees and broken limbs and clear the yard.
Sheds and Pergolas
A shed or pergola needs room to get in and out, plus any required setbacks. Near the creek, check the flood map before you build.
The Flood Work at Wyche Park
West Irving Creek begins at Wyche Park on West Pioneer Drive and runs for more than three miles. Its concrete channel was built in the 1960s to handle a 5 to 10 year flood. The City of Irving says that is not enough for a 100-year storm. Many homes back up to the creek.
The city's Phase A project runs from Wyche Park to Alan-A-Dale. In 2022 the city said it would take 165 houses in Barton Estates and Sherwood Forest out of the 100-year flood zone. Plans call for deepening Wyche Park by about 8 feet and adding a permanent pond. A November 2025 report said the work began in May 2025 and should last through fall 2027.
If you live near the creek, find out where your lot stands before you add a room, a shed or a pergola.
- Look up your address on FEMA's free flood map before you plan an addition or a shed.
- Ask the City of Irving what permits apply if your lot is in the flood zone.
- Before fence repair, sod or cleanup near the channel work, ask the city about access to your property.

Call (469) 340-2030Is my Barton Estates home in the flood zone?
Some have been. In 2022 the City of Irving said its West Irving Creek Phase A work would take 165 houses in Barton Estates and Sherwood Forest out of the 100-year flood zone. That work began in May 2025, and flood maps can change. We cannot tell you your flood status. Check your address on FEMA's flood map and ask Irving which rules apply before you plan the work.
What do older homes in Barton Estates usually need?
Older homes often need new bath tile and fixtures, new kitchen counters and backsplashes, fresh paint inside and out, and trim or closet updates. Tell us what is worn and what you want to keep. We take a look at the job and send a free quote.
Why does my yard stay soggy after rain?
Federal soil maps for this part of Irving show Rader and Wilson soils: loamy topsoil over dense clay. The USDA rates that clay as very slow to let water through. We offer sod, mulch and yard cleanup, so tell us if the ground stays wet after rain when you call.
My fence leans after a wet spring. Can you fix it?
Yes. Heavy clay heaves as it soaks up rain and pulls back as it dries. Over a few seasons, that can tip posts and make gates sag. We quote post repairs, gate fixes and staining, or a full new fence if the old one is past saving. Irving needs a permit for a new or fully replaced fence, but not for small repairs. If your fence backs up to the creek channel, tell us when you call so we can plan how to reach it.
Do I need approval for outside work in Barton Estates?
Check your deed and any association papers before a major change to the outside of your home, such as a new fence, shed or room. A deed can carry restrictions that still apply. City of Irving rules and permits also apply, so ask the city what your project needs.
How old is the Barton Estates area?
The land was part of Sowers, a farm community with a store, a post office and a school. Irving annexed it in 1954 and 1956. The Sowers Cemetery on West Pioneer Drive dates to 1868 and is the last link to that community. Barton Elementary, built in 1956, is named for Lee Bose Barton, a Sowers School trustee whose farm ran from Fouts Street to Pioneer.
