AfterConstruction Services in Lauderhill, FL
If you own a home in Lauderhill, there’s a good chance your house was built between 1960 and 1975, right along with most of the city. That means concrete block walls, a flat or low-slope roof, and windows that wouldn’t pass a hurricane-impact test today. When you call us about a remodel, an addition, or a roof replacement, you won’t get a blank stare while someone figures out what a CBS home is. You’ll get someone who grew up around these houses and knows what the building department is going to require before we ever submit for the permit. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll reach a live person, not a voicemail box.

Why Lauderhill Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
We’re not a franchise and we don’t run crews out of a call center three states away. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons still run the crews. When you hire Barrett & Sons in Lauderhill, Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look all of it up before you sign anything, and we’d encourage you to.
We work all over Lauderhill, from the neighborhoods off NW 55th Avenue over to the homes near Inverrary Boulevard and the residential streets off NW 44th Street. Every job starts with a written scope of work. Every allowance goes on paper. Every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. If it’s not done right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back to make it right.
We answer the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not an answering service. A person who knows the business.
Construction Services We Offer in Lauderhill
Kitchen Remodeling
A lot of Lauderhill kitchens sit in 1960s and 1970s CBS homes where the layout hasn’t changed since the day the slab was poured. We handle full tear-outs and layout redesigns, with KraftMaid cabinets and Cambria countertops when you want named materials you can verify.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Lauderhill.
Bathroom Remodeling
Original bathrooms in Sadkin-era Lauderhill homes often hide plumbing that predates current code. We pull permits, bring the work up to current Broward County standards, and handle everything from a tub-to-shower conversion to a full gut remodel.

Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs dominate Lauderhill’s original housing stock, and those roofs were not designed for the wind loads Florida codes require today. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems, pull permits, and close them out before hurricane season lands.
Learn more about our Roofing in Lauderhill.
Windows & Doors
Original jalousie windows are all over Lauderhill, and they don’t meet current hurricane-impact glazing rules. We install Andersen and Marvin windows and doors, handle the permit, and make sure the inspection gets signed off.
Learn more about our Windows & Doors in Lauderhill.
Fence Installation
Lauderhill’s shallow water table means fence post depth and drainage have to be thought through before the auger ever hits dirt. We install wood, vinyl, and aluminum fencing built to stand straight through wet season.

Driveway & Pavers
Driveways in Lauderhill take a beating from afternoon storms and a high water table that shifts soil. We install pavers from Techo-Bloc and Belgard, with proper base preparation so you don’t get sunken spots two years down the road.

Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage to a 1960s CBS home in Lauderhill usually triggers a cascade of upgrade requirements: impact windows, electrical panel replacement, sometimes roof tie-downs. We scope all of that on paper before you spend a dollar, so the allowance doesn’t surprise you later.

Why Lauderhill’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Lauderhill was developed almost entirely in the 1960s and 1970s as one of South Florida’s first planned communities, the work of developer Herbert Sadkin. That leaves the city with an unusually uniform stock of aging CBS homes and garden-style apartments that predate Florida’s post-Hurricane Andrew building codes. Construction work in Lauderhill is disproportionately about bringing these pre-1992 structures up to current Florida Building Code wind-load and hurricane-impact standards. That’s a retrofit challenge more concentrated here than in neighboring cities with more varied housing eras.
The city sits on former Everglades sawgrass marsh, so the water table often sits within two to three feet of grade. Any excavation, footing work, slab addition, or underground drainage line has to account for that. And June through November, roofing and structural permits face hard scheduling pressure before peak storm exposure. We plan around both. Every permitted renovation on a Lauderhill home tends to trigger cascading upgrade requirements: a window change becomes a whole-house glazing conversation, a panel upgrade becomes a service change, a roof replacement becomes a tie-down retrofit. We price those in from the first estimate, in writing, so there’s no surprise invoice at the end.
Pricing for Construction in Lauderhill
No honest contractor quotes a full kitchen remodel over the phone. What we do give you is a written, line-item scope before work starts, with allowances spelled out. Here’s what recent Lauderhill projects have looked like:
| Project Type | Typical Range in Lauderhill |
|---|---|
| Kitchen remodel (mid-range) | $38,000 - $72,000 |
| Bathroom remodel | $18,000 - $42,000 |
| Roof replacement (flat/low-slope CBS home) | $11,000 - $24,000 |

| Driveway paver installation | $9,000 - $22,000 |
| Home addition (per square foot, mid-range) | $180 - $310 |
Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives on paper before work proceeds. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We also offer a permanent 10% Senior & Veteran discount, $40 off any repair over $200, and no trip charge inside the county.

FAQs About Construction in Lauderhill
Yes. Nearly every structural, roofing, electrical, plumbing, or window job in Lauderhill requires a permit from Broward County or the city, and we pull permits on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and that’s exactly why we like having him out. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want a straight answer on what your specific project will trigger.
Most mid-range kitchen remodels in Lauderhill land between $38,000 and $72,000, depending on layout changes, cabinet lines, and whether the existing 1960s electrical and plumbing can stay. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. The estimate is free.
Only if the scope changes, and only after you approve a written change order. We don’t hand you a different bill at the door. If an allowance runs out, you know about it on paper before it runs out, not after the job is done. That’s how Tom has run Barrett & Sons since 1998.
We do, and we install Andersen and Marvin impact-rated windows that meet current Broward County glazing requirements. Replacing original jalousie windows is one of the most common jobs we do in Lauderhill. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written quote.
That depends entirely on the scope, the permit timeline, and the season. A bathroom remodel might run three to five weeks. A full kitchen with a layout change can run eight to twelve. A roof replacement is often a few days once the permit clears. We’ll give you a schedule in writing before work starts, and we’ll tell you if the weather or the building department is going to move it.

What Lauderhill Customers Say
"Addition over the garage matched the original roofline and brickwork so closely that visitors do not realise it was added. He tracked down the closest brick he could find rather than settling."
- Gideon Stroud"The bathroom was finished on the day he said at the start, which nobody had led me to believe was possible."
- Loretta Vanterpool"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."
