AfterConstruction Services in Lighthouse Point, FL
If you live in Lighthouse Point, chances are your home sits on salt water, or within a block of it. That single fact changes how nearly every remodel, addition, roof, and seawall-adjacent project should be built here. Barrett & Sons Construction has been navigating those specifics for homeowners across Lighthouse Point for years, and we answer the phone when you call: (877) 610-1318. Our crews know the 33064 permit path, the Broward County inspection rhythm, and the marine-grade hardware this city demands.
We’re owner-operated, not a franchise. Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck, his sons run the crews, and every price change arrives in writing before any work proceeds. If you’re tired of out-of-area contractors who treat Lighthouse Point like any inland Pompano Beach job, let’s talk.

Why Lighthouse Point Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Lighthouse Point isn’t a city where you can cut corners on fasteners, flashings, or footer depths. The salt air off the Intracoastal eats uncoated steel faster than most people believe. We spec hot-dipped galvanized or stainless hardware on every exterior application, because we’ve seen what happens when someone doesn’t. Homeowners here tell us the same thing: they want a contractor who already knows the local conditions, not one learning them on their dime.
We serve homes throughout Lighthouse Point, from the finger canals off Northeast 31st Avenue to the quiet streets near Dan Witt Park and up toward the 33064 stretch along Sample Road. Our Google reviews from Lighthouse Point homeowners consistently mention two things: the written change orders and the fact that Tom or one of his sons is on-site, not a rotating cast of subcontracted strangers. Response time in the city runs prompt, with a live person answering the phone 24/7 and a No Trip Charge Inside the County.
Tom publishes his name, address, and license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Then ask anyone on your street, or check the reviews yourself.
Construction Services We Offer in Lighthouse Point
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen Remodeling in Lighthouse Point for 1955-to-1985 concrete block homes often means uncovering undersized electrical panels and plumbing runs that won’t pass current Broward County code. We design around that reality from day one, quoting KraftMaid and Cambria materials with real numbers, not allowances that drift.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Lighthouse Point.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling in Lighthouse Point on canal-front lots frequently involves moisture intrusion through original single-pane windows or deteriorated lintels. We address the water and salt exposure first, then build the bathroom you actually wanted.

Roofing
Many original Lighthouse Point homes carry flat or low-slope built-up roofs that Broward County permit rules now flag for replacement when any adjoining work is pulled, which is why our Roofing in Lighthouse Point uses GAF and CertainTeed systems with fasteners rated for direct salt-air exposure. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with fasteners rated for direct salt-air exposure, which matters more here than a few miles west.

Windows & Doors
Aging aluminum single-pane windows are common throughout Lighthouse Point’s older housing stock, and the salt air accelerates frame pitting and seal failure-learn more about Windows & Doors - Lighthouse Point solutions we install. We install Andersen, Marvin, Simonton, and PGT impact-rated products sized to your existing openings and your elevation requirements.
Learn more about our windows and doors work in Lighthouse Point by calling (877) 610-1318.
Fence Installation
Canal-front fencing in Lighthouse Point has to handle wind load, salt corrosion, and the occasional high-water storm surge. We build with marine-grade posts and hardware, and we pull the fence permit so the inspector signs off the same way we’d want it on our own house.
Learn more about our fence installation in Lighthouse Point by calling (877) 610-1318.
Driveway & Pavers
The high seasonal water table in Lighthouse Point, often within two feet of grade during the summer wet season, changes how base material should be compacted and drained. We price and build paver driveways for that reality, using Belgard and Techo-Bloc lines that hold up to salt and standing water.
Learn more about our driveway and pavers work in Lighthouse Point by calling (877) 610-1318.
Home Additions & ADU
Lighthouse Point’s finger-canal lots were platted narrow and deep, which creates real friction on rear-setback and seawall-setback overlap. We have worked through those variance applications with the city before, and we’ll tell you upfront if your planned addition needs one before you spend money on drawings.

Why Lighthouse Point’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Lighthouse Point sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, and that geography dictates materials in ways an inland contractor won’t automatically price in. Salt-air corrosion degrades uncoated steel lintels, hurricane straps, and fasteners faster here than even a few miles inland in Pompano Beach or Deerfield Beach. We spec hot-dipped galvanized or stainless hardware throughout every exterior job, and we don’t treat that as an upgrade. It’s the baseline.
The housing stock reinforces the point. The dominant homes are concrete block ranch and two-story builds from roughly 1955 to 1985, many with original flat built-up roofs, single-pane aluminum windows, and electrical panels too small for a modern kitchen. Under current Broward County permit pull-and-replace rules, a lot of those items get flagged the moment you touch an adjacent system. We plan for that so you’re not surprised mid-project.
There’s also the water table. During the June-to-October wet season, groundwater often sits within 18 to 24 inches of grade in Lighthouse Point. That affects slab work, paver compaction, footer pours, and anything involving excavation. If your contractor doesn’t account for it, you’ll find out after the first heavy rain. We account for it in the quote, not after.
Pricing for Construction in Lighthouse Point
Most Lighthouse Point homeowners want honest ranges before they schedule an estimate. Here’s what we typically see across the city:
- Kitchen remodel: $45,000 to $120,000 depending on cabinet line, footprint changes, and panel upgrades
- Bathroom remodel: $22,000 to $55,000 depending on waterproofing scope and fixture choices
- Roof replacement: $18,000 to $45,000 for the flat and low-slope systems common here
- Impact windows and doors: $1,200 to $3,500 per opening depending on size and product line
- Driveway pavers: $14 to $28 per square foot depending on base depth and paver selection
- Home addition or ADU: $180 to $350 per square foot depending on design, setbacks, and variance needs
Every quote includes line items in writing. If anything changes, you get a written change order before the work happens. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do those. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate in Lighthouse Point.

FAQs About Construction in Lighthouse Point
Yes, for nearly every structural, electrical, plumbing, or roofing change in Lighthouse Point, and Broward County’s pull-and-replace rules often require permits on older homes even when the work itself seems minor. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job, because the inspector works for you, not for us, and we like it that way. Call (877) 610-1318 if you’re unsure whether your project triggers one.
Salt air off the Intracoastal accelerates corrosion on uncoated steel fasteners, lintels, and hurricane straps, which means marine-grade hardware is a baseline requirement here, not an option. We spec hot-dipped galvanized or stainless on every exterior application. For an exact material recommendation on your home, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll take a look.
Canal lots are narrow and deep, and the required 25-foot seawall setback often overlaps with the rear-yard setback, which can trigger a city variance before any footer gets poured. That process can add six to ten weeks to a project timeline, and out-of-area contractors routinely miss it. We’ll flag it before you pay for plans. Call (877) 610-1318 to ask about your specific lot.
Not without a written change order you have signed first. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives in writing before any work happens, and you’ll never see a surprise invoice at the end. That’s the way we’ve run the company since 1998, and it’s written into every contract. Call (877) 610-1318 for a quote that holds.
Yes. We offer $40 off any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, no trip charge inside the county, and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount. These are standing offers, and they apply to Lighthouse Point work. Call (877) 610-1318 and mention which one applies to you.

What Lighthouse Point Customers Say
"Genuinely good builders and I would use them again. Site tidiness slipped a bit in the middle stretch and I had to mention it, after which it was spotless every evening."
- Marcus Threadgill"Every change to the price came as a written change order before the work happened, not as a surprise on the final bill. I did not know contractors still did that."
- Xiomara Benavides"Tom Barrett was on our job most days himself, not just at the quote and then never again. When something needed deciding there was an actual person to decide it with."
- Rosalie Pemberton
