What to Look for in a North Andrews Gardens Contractor
Before you sign anything, ask two questions. First, will this contractor pull a Broward County permit on your job? Second, will every price change arrive in writing before a single nail moves?
We ask you to ask those questions because they expose the difference between a real contractor and a salesman with a truck. In North Andrews Gardens, every permitted job routes through the Broward County Building Division, not a city hall. That’s a specific procedural path with its own timelines and code requirements. A contractor who shrugs at permits is telling you something about how they’ll handle surprises when the job starts.
Barrett & Sons Construction is owner-operated by Tom Barrett, and Tom’s sons run the crews. Every eligible job includes permits pulled and inspections signed. Every scope, every allowance, every change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. That’s not a sales gimmick. That’s the only way we know to keep a five-figure remodel from becoming a six-figure argument.
Why North Andrews Gardens Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Most of our work in North Andrews Gardens comes from referrals along NE 18th Avenue, NE 56th Street, and the streets off Powerline Road near the 33334 corridor. Homeowners here talk. When a kitchen remodel goes well, two neighbors hear about it. When it goes badly, twenty do.
We’ve built a strong local reputation by doing the unboring things right: pulling county permits on every eligible job, writing change orders before scope changes, installing named brands like GAF and Schluter that you can look up yourself, and standing behind finished work with our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on every contract. If something isn’t done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself. A live person answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center.
Construction Services We Offer in North Andrews Gardens
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchens in 1950s and 1960s North Andrews Gardens CBS homes are tight, with original jalousie windows and layouts built for a different era. We open walls where the structure allows, upgrade to current county wind-load standards, and install cabinets and counters you can look up by name.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in North Andrews Gardens.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathrooms in this neighborhood often hide moisture issues behind original tile and terrazzo, especially where the shallow water table presses up against slab foundations. We address what’s behind the wall before we hang the new vanity and the Schluter waterproofing system for your Bathroom Remodeling in North Andrews Gardens.
Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in North Andrews Gardens.
Roofing
Flat and low-slope roofs on concrete block homes in North Andrews Gardens are aging past their useful life, and many predate Broward’s post-Andrew high-velocity hurricane zone requirements. A permitted North Andrews Gardens Roofing replacement here means mandatory wind-load and roof-deck compliance upgrades, which we handle as standard practice.
Learn more about our Roofing in North Andrews Gardens.
Windows & Doors
Original jalousie windows leak air and water and don’t meet current impact standards. We install Windows & Doors - North Andrews Gardens products from Andersen and Marvin sized for the openings those old CBS frames leave behind, and we pull the county permit that goes with the job.
Learn more about our Windows & Doors services in North Andrews Gardens.
Fence Installation
Fence posts in North Andrews Gardens go into sandy-limestone soil that shifts with the water table, so we set posts accordingly and don’t guess at depth. We’ll match the line and height your street already uses.
Learn more about our Fence Installation services in North Andrews Gardens.
Driveway & Pavers
Slab settlement is a fact of life in eastern Broward County, and driveways here crack along predictable lines. We remove and replace failed slabs or lay pavers on a base that accounts for the shifting substrate underneath.
Learn more about our Driveway & Pavers services in North Andrews Gardens.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in an unincorporated county enclave means footers that work with a shallow water table and a permit package that survives Broward County review the first time. We’ve done it here, and we sequence exterior work around the June-to-September afternoon storm pattern.

Why North Andrews Gardens’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
North Andrews Gardens is an unincorporated Broward County enclave. Every construction permit and inspection routes through the Broward County Building Division rather than a municipal building department. That’s not a technicality; it changes permit timelines, fee schedules, and code-compliance pathways. Contractors working near the boundary between North Andrews Gardens and incorporated Oakland Park must verify each parcel’s jurisdiction on the Broward County Property Appraiser map before pulling permits. Lots on the same street can fall under different authorities, and pulling a county permit for a parcel that turns out to be city-incorporated, or the other way around, means starting the permit process over from scratch.
Housing stock here is dominated by single-story concrete block and stucco construction built roughly between 1955 and 1975. Those homes have flat or low-slope roofs, terrazzo floors, and original jalousie windows, and they predate Broward’s post-Andrew high-velocity hurricane zone requirements. The moment a permitted renovation exceeds threshold values, mandatory wind-load and roof-deck compliance upgrades apply. Eastern Broward’s shallow water table and sandy-limestone substrate also create slab settlement and moisture-intrusion risks that complicate footer excavation, additions, and any below-grade work. The June-through-September rainy season compresses exterior construction windows to morning hours and demands sequencing around near-daily afternoon thunderstorms. We plan around it because we’ve worked in it.

FAQs About Construction in North Andrews Gardens
Yes, in almost every case, North Andrews Gardens is unincorporated Broward County, so permits and inspections go through the Broward County Building Division, not a city hall.

Flat and low-slope roof replacements in this neighborhood typically run $11,000 to $24,000, with the range driven by roof-deck compliance upgrades that apply to pre-Andrew CBS homes. The only way to get a real number is a site visit, which is free. Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule yours.
Only if you change the scope, and only with a written change order you’ve approved before work proceeds. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. That’s a Tom Barrett rule, not a brochure line.
Yes. Every eligible job includes permits pulled and inspections signed. In an unincorporated county enclave, the permit path is different from neighboring cities, and we handle it as standard practice. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why we like when he shows up.

What North Andrews Gardens 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
