AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Fort Lauderdale
Window replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on the size of the home and whether you’re installing standard or impact-rated units. Impact window installation for a full concrete block home in neighborhoods like Victoria Park or Coral Ridge usually lands between $8,000 and $25,000 because Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code demands 170+ mph design-pressure ratings on every opening. If you’re weighing a full-home window replacement against piecemeal repairs, or need a front door that can actually hold up to a September storm, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through what makes sense for your house and your budget.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Fort Lauderdale’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Barrett & Sons has been owner-operated since 1998, and the crew that shows up in Fort Lauderdale is led by Tom Barrett’s sons, not a rotating cast of subcontractors dispatched from three counties away. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number on every contract; go ahead and look it up before you sign anything. Calls are answered by a live person around the clock, and when you ask about a window job in 33301 or a door replacement off Las Olas, you’re talking to someone who knows the difference between a finger-island canal-front lot and a 1950s concrete block house in Tarpon River.
Our customers in Fort Lauderdale keep hiring us back because we put every scope change in writing before work moves forward. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t do surprises. Every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed, because the permit inspector works for you, not for me. And every completed project carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back. We also offer a permanent 10% Senior & Veteran discount, $40 off any repair over $200, and a free second opinion on any written estimate another contractor has given you.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Fort Lauderdale
Window Installation
New window installation in Fort Lauderdale isn’t just about looks. Concrete block homes in Victoria Park and Coral Ridge built between the late 1940s and mid-1970s usually lack the hurricane strapping and impact-rated openings the current Florida Building Code requires. We install Simonton, PGT, and Ply Gem units sized to your existing openings, with proper anchoring into block or wood frame, and we handle the permit and inspection so the job doesn’t stall at final.
Door Installation
Front doors, side doors, and garage entry doors in Fort Lauderdale take abuse from salt air and humidity all year. Steel lintels and fasteners corrode faster here than homeowners expect, especially within a mile of the Intracoastal. We inspect the rough opening, replace rotted or rusted framing, and install doors that seal tight against both wind-driven rain and the everyday moisture that eats cheap hardware.
Window Replacement
If your existing windows date to the original build or a mid-1980s renovation, they almost certainly don’t meet today’s HVHZ design-pressure standards. Full window replacement in Fort Lauderdale runs $4,500 to $15,000 for most homes. We’ll give you a written line-item quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for glass, frames, hardware, and labor before we order anything.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact windows and doors are the strongest protection available for Fort Lauderdale homes, and for most waterfront properties they’re the only practical option that satisfies both insurers and Broward County inspectors. We install PGT and CGI impact-rated units tested to withstand 170+ mph wind loads and flying debris. On canal-front lots in Coral Ridge and the finger islands, where corrosion and wind exposure are both at their worst, we default to stainless steel fasteners and marine-grade hardware without being asked.
If you’re also considering hardscape work, we handle Driveway & Pavers in Fort Lauderdale with the same written-change-order discipline. And when a new window or door project expands into fencing, our Fence Installation in Fort Lauderdale crew can coordinate so both jobs finish on the same inspection cycle.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Lauderdale
We keep our Fort Lauderdale jobs stocked with name-brand materials you can look up. PGT and CGI impact windows and doors are standard options for waterfront homes and anything in an HVHZ wind-load zone. Simonton vinyl windows are a strong mid-range choice for inland neighborhoods like Broadview Park and Lauderdale Lakes where you want solid performance without waterfront pricing. We don’t install mystery brands off the back of a van, and if a brand has a known issue with salt-air corrosion or hardware failure, we’ll tell you before you spend a dollar.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Fort Lauderdale Homes
- Fogged double-pane glass from failed seals: Fort Lauderdale’s humidity finds every weak seal eventually. Most 1990s-era double-pane windows in Victoria Park and Tarpon River have already lost their insulating gas fill, and the only real fix is replacement, not repair.
- Corroded hardware on canal-front lots: Salt-laden onshore air along the Intracoastal and the city’s 165+ miles of navigable canals eats through standard door hinges, handles, and window cranks in a few years. We replace with stainless or marine-grade hardware on any home within a mile of open water.
- Non-impact windows in older block homes: The vast majority of homes built before the mid-1970s in Fort Lauderdale have original or early-replacement windows that would fail an HVHZ inspection today. Insurers are increasingly flagging these at renewal, which forces the issue before you’re ready to move.
- Rotting wood frames and sills from year-round moisture: Even well-maintained wood windows don’t last as long here as they do in drier climates. We see sill rot and frame separation regularly in homes throughout 33301 and 33303, especially on the east-facing sides that catch morning humidity and afternoon sun.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Window replacement in Fort Lauderdale runs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on home size, frame material, and whether you choose standard or impact-rated glass. Impact window installation runs $8,000 to $25,000 for a full home, with the higher end reflecting multi-story canal-front homes where every opening must meet HVHZ design-pressure rules. Door installation runs from about $800 for a basic interior door to $4,000 or more for an impact-rated front entry door with proper anchoring into block. The biggest cost drivers in Fort Lauderdale are impact glass requirements, stainless or marine-grade hardware, and any required structural upgrades to the rough opening. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free written estimate, and we’ll give you exact numbers for your house, not a range you have to guess at.
One thing that makes Fort Lauderdale pricing different from nearby cities like Lauderhill or Plantation is the canal-front factor. Homes on finger islands or along deepwater canals often trigger additional corrosion-resistant material requirements and, in some cases, seawall setback verification before a window or door permit can final. That’s not true everywhere in Broward County, and it’s a real cost driver specific to this city’s 165+ miles of navigable waterways.
