Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale - Written Price Before Anything Is Ordered

Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Fort Lauderdale

If you’re looking for window or door work in Fort Lauderdale, expect window replacement on an older concrete block home to run somewhere between $4,500 and $15,000, and a full impact window package to land between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on the number of openings and whether the frames need refitting for Broward County’s coastal wind-load rules. Most jobs on the finger islands, in Victoria Park, or over in Tarpon River take a few days once materials arrive. Call (877) 610-1318 and a live person will actually answer, not a voicemail box that sends you to a call center.

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

Tom Barrett put his name on the truck in 1998, and his sons run the crews that serve Fort Lauderdale today with Home Additions & ADU in Fort Lauderdale and more. That means when a homeowner off Bayview Drive calls about a sticking slider or a fogged impact pane, they’re talking to someone with a real stake in the name being on the door. We don’t dispatch strangers. Our crew members are background-checked and uniformed, and the person who measures your openings in Coral Ridge is often the same person who comes back to fix a latch six months later.

Fort Lauderdale homeowners have every reason to be skeptical. We hear the same story up and down Las Olas Boulevard and through the finger islands: someone got a phone quote, then a different number at the door. Ours is the opposite. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Tom says that constantly, and he’s not wrong.

Our Windows & Doors Services in Fort Lauderdale

Window Installation

New window installation in Fort Lauderdale almost always means working around salt air and an HVHZ wind-load requirement, because every opening on the exterior needs a product tested for the highest wind zone in Florida, as we detail in our Kitchen Remodeling in Fort Lauderdale process. We frame, flash, and seal openings so they shed water during the same afternoon downpours that flood the streets around Victoria Park faster than the pumps can keep up. Whether the home is a 1960s concrete block ranch or a newer stucco build off State Road 84, the work gets done to the written scope, and the permit gets pulled before we start.

Door Installation

Front doors, side lights, and entry systems in Fort Lauderdale need to hold up against wind-driven rain and a lot of salt in the air, especially within a few blocks of the Intracoastal. We install and replace entry doors, French doors, and patio doors with the right hardware and weatherstripping for coastal exposure. No mystery off-brand van stock. You get a name you can verify and a price that matches the proposal.

Window Replacement

Most of the homes we see in the core Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods were built between the late 1940s and mid-1970s. Concrete block construction, single-pane glass, aluminum frames that are corroded at the corners. Window replacement here often means addressing rusted lintels and failed flashing at the same time, which is why we don’t quote a window without looking at what’s around it. You’ll get a fixed, written scope, and if we find something unexpected once the old unit comes out, you’ll get a written change order before we do anything else.

Impact Windows & Doors

Impact windows and doors in Fort Lauderdale are the single biggest investment most homeowners make in their exterior shell, and the reason is simple: the city sits fully inside Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. That’s the strictest wind-load classification in the state, requiring 170-plus mph design-pressure testing. We install impact rated systems from names like PGT and CGI, plus Owens Corning service in Fort Lauderdale, and we size every project to pass Broward County inspection the first time. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why I like him.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale

We install and service the brands Fort Lauderdale homeowners actually look up before they sign: Simonton, PGT, and CGI among them. These are materials you can research, with published performance ratings for the HVHZ, not mystery glass off a van. Our Windows & Doors team stocks the common replacement hardware and seals for local jobs, so a failed latch or a blown panel on a PGT slider doesn’t have to wait two weeks on a freight truck while a storm brews off the coast.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes

• Corroded aluminum frames and ferrous hardware. Salt-laden onshore air along the canals and within a mile of the beach works on aluminum frames and steel screws year round. By the time a window sticks in the track, the frame corners are usually soft and the hardware’s done.
• Fogged or failed seals on older impact units. The humidity and heat cycling through the day cause seal failure on early 2000s impact glass. When the argon’s gone, the pane fogs up between the glass and the view toward the canal goes hazy.
• Original single-pane windows on pre-1970s concrete block homes. Many Victoria Park and Tarpon River originals never got upgraded. That means no impact protection, high AC loads, and water intrusion through cracked glazing when a summer storm pushes rain sideways.
• Sliding patio doors that jam or refuse to lock. Settlement, heat expansion, and corrosion combine to take doors out of square. On canal-front lots where tidal soil saturation shifts slabs slightly, we see this regularly from Coral Ridge down to the finger islands.
