Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Fairfax’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company

We’ve been holding a license and standing behind our work since 1998. Tom Barrett’s name is on the truck and on the contract, and his sons run the crews. That matters in our Fairfax service area, where word gets around fast, and where “the guy who did my windows” is a recommendation people actually trust.

Fairfax homeowners call us because we understand what this specific town throws at a house. We know Sir Francis Drake Boulevard like the back of our hand, we know the steep lots off Bolinas Road up toward the watershed, and we know what happens to wood frames after a decade of wet, fog-driven winters. Our Windows & Doors team has replaced frames in hillside cottages where the fog off the bay means moisture never really leaves the wood. We write every scope in writing, every change order in writing, and every price change arrives before a single nail moves.

We answer the phone. We show up when we say we will. And when the job is done, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means one call brings Tom back if anything isn’t right. Ask anyone in the 94930 zip code. Or look up the license number yourself.

Our Windows & Doors Services in Fairfax

Window Installation

Our Kitchen Remodeling in Fairfax team knows that new window installation here comes with a set of rules that flatland towns don’t have to think about. Because Fairfax sits inside a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, the county requires ember-resistant vents and specific glazing in many replacement situations. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and install windows that meet both the fire code and the look of your home. Most Fairfax homes are craftsman bungalows or mid-century ranch houses from the 1920s through the 1960s, so we pay attention to trim profiles and sightlines instead of slapping in whatever fits.

Door Installation

Front doors, side doors, back doors off the carport. In Fairfax, door installation usually means working with old framing that has settled after 60 or 70 years on a hillside. We don’t rush that. We measure in three places, check the threshold for rot, and build the rough opening back square before the new door goes in. If you’re replacing an exterior door on a home near Fairfax Creek, we also look for moisture damage at the base before it turns into a bigger problem.

Window Replacement

Most Fairfax window replacements we do are on wood-frame homes where the original single-pane windows have been doing very little for 50 years. Homeowners tell us the rooms facing the oak canopy stay cold all winter. We replace those with dual-pane units that actually hold heat, and we handle the disposal of the old sashes. Expect the job to take two to three days for a whole house, longer if we find rot in the frames and have to rebuild.

Impact Windows & Doors

Fairfax isn’t in hurricane country, but impact-rated windows and doors do double duty here. They’re built to resist flying debris during a wind event, and they add a layer of protection in a town that has been under evacuation warnings repeatedly in recent years. For wildland-urban interface properties, impact-rated glazing also helps meet fire-hardening expectations from Marin County building officials. If you’re already fire-hardening a legacy addition from the 1980s, adding Home Additions & ADU in Fairfax impact windows at the same time can save you a second round of permit work.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fairfax

We install Andersen and Marvin windows, and we stock common replacement parts for homeowners who just need a sash or a balance instead of a whole window. When a Fairfax customer calls with a broken lock or a failed seal, we can often put our hands on the part the same week without special-ordering from a warehouse in Ohio. We also work with premium door hardware lines, and if you’re replacing a patio door we’ll show you real options, not mystery brands off a van.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Fairfax Homes

• Wood rot at the bottom of exterior door frames. Fog-driven winters and old homes near Fairfax Creek mean moisture sits where you can’t see it. By the time a door sticks, the bottom six inches of the jamb is frequently soft. We cut it out, rebuild it, and seal the threshold properly so it doesn’t come back.
• Failed seals in dual-pane windows from the 1990s. A lot of Fairfax homes got vinyl dual-pane replacements during the last remodel wave, and those units are now hitting end of life. Fog between the glass means the seal is gone, and the window’s insulating value is gone with it.
• Windows that won’t open on hillside lots. When a foundation moves, even a quarter inch, window frames rack out of square. On steep streets like the ones off Bolinas Road, that’s normal after a few wet winters. Sometimes the fix is a new window; sometimes it’s a new frame. We tell you which before we quote.
• Legacy additions with single-pane glazing. Unpermitted additions from the 1970s and 1980s are everywhere in Fairfax, and many of them still have the original single-pane sliders. When Marin County requires fire-hardening retrofits before approving a new permit, those old sliders are usually the first thing the inspector flags. We help homeowners get those swapped without getting stuck in permit limbo.
