AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Boca Raton
Window and door replacement in Boca Raton runs $4,500 to $25,000 depending on whether you’re swapping builder-grade vinyl in a west-side CBS home or doing full impact-rated openings on an A1A condo above the salt line. We’ve worked these jobs on both sides of Federal Highway, and we know the difference between a simple swap in Boca Pointe and a structural re-anchor in a 1970s high-rise where corroded rebar hides behind the stucco. Barrett & Sons Construction is owner-operated by Tom Barrett, and when you call (877) 610-1318 you get a live person who can talk through what your specific building needs before we ever set foot on site.
This page is written for Boca Raton homeowners specifically. Not Palm Beach County generically. Boca Raton has rules, water tables, and review boards that other cities don’t deal with, and if your contractor doesn’t know that, you pay for it later.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Boca Raton’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 with his name on the truck and his sons on the crews. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers to Boca Raton, and we don’t have a sales rep who hands you off to an out-of-state call center. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Our crew members carry the Barrett & Sons name, they’re background-checked, and they show up uniformed.
We’ve worked inside Boca Raton’s master-planned communities long enough to know that the HOA architectural committee often has stricter standards than the city. We know that the Architectural Review Board cycles can add weeks to a permit timeline. And we know that a west-side patio door excavation can flood at three feet below grade if nobody budgets for de-watering. That’s not something you learn from a brand’s national training video. It’s something you learn by doing the work here, in 33487 and 33486 and 33496 and 33432.
Our Windows & Doors team carries premium brands you can look up by name: Simonton, PGT, and CGI. We don’t install mystery windows off the back of a van. Every scope change arrives as a written change order before a nail moves. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. And every completed job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. One call brings Tom back. That’s the deal.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Boca Raton
Window Installation
New window installation in Boca Raton means choosing frames that satisfy both the ARB’s Mediterranean Revival aesthetic and Palm Beach County’s 150 mph wind-load requirements. For most west-side CBS homes built from the 1970s through the 1990s, concrete block openings require precise measurement and often structural review before a single window goes in. We handle that coordination. You shouldn’t have to learn the ARB submission calendar. That’s our job.
Door Installation
Exterior door replacement in Boca Raton covers everything from single front entry doors in Woodfield to heavy impact-rated sliders on A1A condos. The failure modes differ block by block. In Woodfield, the original door framing on 1980s CBS construction rarely matches modern rough-in dimensions, so a “same-size” swap frequently isn’t. East of Federal Highway, salt corrosion on embedded hardware is a real problem, and new fasteners need sound concrete to bite into. We check the substrate before we quote. That avoids surprises. Same-day door swaps are not always realistic here, and any contractor who promises one without seeing the opening is guessing.
Window Replacement
Window replacement in Boca Raton runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a typical full-home scope, depending on the count, the frame material, and whether you’re selecting impact-rated glass or standard laminated. Builder-grade vinyl windows from the big-box stores rarely pass ARB design review, and we’ve seen HOA architectural committees force homeowners to tear out and redo work that didn’t match the mandated lite pattern. Our process starts with the ARB and HOA requirements, then works backward to product selection. It’s slower up front and cheaper by the end.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact windows and doors are not optional extras in Boca Raton. They’re what the building code in Palm Beach County has required since the post-1992 wind-load revisions, and they’re what ARB design review expects on any visible elevation. PGT and CGI manufacture impact-rated profiles that can be finished in ARB-compliant lite patterns and frame colors. Simonton makes solid mid-range options for budget-conscious replacements in Boca Pointe where the HOA rules still govern finish. A full-home impact upgrade in Boca Raton ranges from $8,000 to $25,000. We’ll put that in writing before you sign. Allowances in writing. Change orders in writing. That’s how we’ve run jobs since 1998.

Trusted Brands We Service in Boca Raton
We stock local parts for the brands Boca Raton installers actually use: PGT for high-design-pressure coastal ratings, CGI for A1A high-rise replacements, and Simonton for cost-effective west-side retrofits. When a spring goes or a latch seizes on an existing PGT window in Sandalfoot Cove or King’s Point, we can usually source the replacement hardware without waiting on a national parts pipeline. That local inventory matters when a slab door won’t close and the afternoon storms are rolling in off the Atlantic.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Boca Raton Homes
- Builder-grade vinyl windows that fail ARB lite-pattern review. Newer developments in 33496 and 33487 enforce the city’s Mediterranean Revival design codes through their HOA committees. A homeowner replaces with off-the-shelf vinyl, and the committee flags the frame color or grille pattern. Then the windows come out. We flag the ARB issue before you buy.
- Corroded rebar and spalling concrete around oceanfront openings. On A1A high-rises built in the 1970s, salt-laden air has been working on embedded steel for forty or fifty years. A new sliding glass door anchored into compromised concrete will fail. SB 4-D structural inspection requirements are forcing condo associations to budget for exactly this remediation, and a window or door opening is where it often shows up first.
- Flooded excavations on west-side door replacements. The water table sits 2 to 4 feet below grade across much of west Boca Raton. Skip the de-watering line item and a simple patio door swap becomes a three-day change order. We write de-watering into the scope the first time. Out-of-area contractors learn this the expensive way. We already know it.
- Seized or cloudy insulated glass units in 1990s homes. Homes in Broken Sound and Boca Pointe from that era are hitting the age where double-pane seals fail and argon leaks out. The frame looks fine but the glass has fogged. That’s a replacement glass package, not a full window swap, and it runs a lot less. We’ll tell you the honest difference.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Boca Raton, FL
Every Boca Raton job is priced off a written scope, never a phone estimate. That said, here’s what we see in this market:
| Service | Typical Boca Raton Range |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000-$25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500-$15,000 |
| Impact Sliding Glass Doors | $4,500-$15,000 |
What moves the number? The ARB compliance package (custom lite patterns and finish colors cost more than stock profiles), whether the opening needs structural review or concrete remediation, and the design-pressure rating on coastal elevations. A single impact slider off a high-rise balcony with corroded substrate will price differently than three west-side windows in a 1990s CBS. We give you all of that in writing before work begins, and nobody changes the number without a written change order. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. No trip charge inside the county, and seniors and veterans take 10% off, permanently.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Boca Raton
Yes, any window or door replacement on a visible elevation in Boca Raton requires ARB design review, and the review covers lite pattern, frame color, and often impact-rated profile specifications. Boca Raton’s ARB mandates the Mediterranean Revival aesthetic originally drawn up under Addison Mizner’s 1920s master plan. The approval can add weeks to a permit timeline, and products that don’t meet the ARB spec get rejected before installation. We handle the submission on your behalf as part of the scope. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what your specific elevation needs before you buy anything.
Generally no, replacing builder-grade windows will not void your structural new-home warranty, but it can violate your HOA architectural guidelines if the new windows don’t match the community’s mandated lite pattern or frame color. Many Boca Raton communities, including Boca Pointe, enforce design standards through their own architectural committees on top of the city’s ARB. The practical risk is not the warranty, it’s the HOA making you remove non-compliant windows. We verify the HOA’s finish schedule before you sign anything. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free review of your community’s rules.
The water table across most of west Boca Raton sits just 2 to 4 feet below grade, which means any excavation for a new threshold, footing, or lintel can flood within hours if de-watering isn’t planned. A simple sliding door replacement that requires a new concrete pour will turn into a multi-day change order without it. We write de-watering into the scope from the start, because an allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Most out-of-area contractors don’t budget for it. We do.
SB 4-D requires structural inspections for condos in Florida that meet certain age and height thresholds, and in Boca Raton many A1A high-rises built in the 1970s and 1980s fall under it. If your building’s inspection identified spalling concrete, corroded rebar, or delaminating balcony slabs, your window and door replacement may require concrete remediation before new openings can be anchored to sound substrate. We’ve worked on these buildings and coordinate with the association’s structural engineer. Get your building’s inspection report before you get quotes. Then call (877) 610-1318.
We install PGT and CGI for coastal impact ratings and ARB-compliant custom finishes, and Simonton for budget-conscious west-side retrofits where the HOA allows standard profiles with impact glass packages. PGT’s impact-rated casements and horizontals can be factory-mitered with ARB-compliant lite patterns and frame colors, which is why they’re common in Boca Raton’s newer gated communities. We’ll get the ARB’s finish requirements, then match the product to it, not the other way around. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written quote and we’ll tell you which brand your building will actually approve.
