AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Fort Myers Beach
Window and door work on Fort Myers Beach isn’t like the same job in Cape Coral or Bonita Springs. The salt air, storm surge exposure, and post-Ian rebuilding rules change what materials make sense, what the permit office will approve, and what will actually hold up. If you’re living in a home that survived the storm or you’re rebuilding on a new elevated pad, we can walk you through what’s practical for your specific block. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out, look at your openings, and give you a written estimate with real numbers, not a phone guess.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Fort Myers Beach’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and the way we work hasn’t changed since his sons started running crews: every price change goes on paper before the work happens, permits get pulled on every eligible job, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every contract. That matters on Fort Myers Beach more than most places, because post-Ian rebuilds often touch multiple trades and multiple inspection cycles. If a window opening shifts two inches or a door rough-in doesn’t match the elevation plan, you want that caught and put in writing, not discovered at final inspection.
Customers on Fort Myers Beach tell us the same thing: the last contractor they called quoted one number on the phone and showed up with another number at the door. We don’t play that game. You’ll get a written line-item estimate with allowances spelled out, and if anything changes, you’ll sign a change order before the change happens. Tom’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. We answer the phone 24/7 with a live person, not an out-of-state call center. And we never send strangers to your door: background-checked crew members, uniformed, carrying the Barrett & Sons name.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Fort Myers Beach
Window Installation
New window installation on Estero Island means matching the Florida Building Code’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, which most mainland homes never have to think about. We install Simonton and PGT impact-rated units that meet those standards, and we handle the flashing and anchoring details that keep wind-driven rain from finding its way in during the next named storm. Whether you’re replacing one window on a surviving 1960s cottage or doing every opening on a new elevated build, the process is the same: measure twice, order exactly, install square, seal and inspect.
Door Installation
Front doors on Fort Myers Beach take a beating: direct Gulf sun, salt spray, and hours of driving wind. A door that survives fine inland will warp, fade, or swell here within a few seasons. We install exterior doors rated for coastal exposure, including impact-rated units that let you skip the shutters on many openings. Entry doors, side doors, French doors, and garage entry doors are all part of what we do on the island every week.
Window Replacement
If your home sits in the 33931 ZIP and still has original windows from the 1960s or 1970s, you’re likely losing cool air year-round and fighting fogged glass or failed seals. Window replacement in Fort Myers Beach runs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on the number of openings, the size of the glass, and whether you’re going to impact-rated or upgrading to low-E insulated units. Every replacement we do includes removal of the old unit, inspection of the rough opening for rot or termite damage, new flashing, and a clean, sealed finish. On older concrete-block cottages, that rough-opening inspection is where surprises hide, and we put anything we find in writing with a price before we touch it.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact windows and doors on Fort Myers Beach aren’t optional on most post-Ian rebuilds. If your property falls under FEMA’s substantial-damage determination and you’re rebuilding to current code, impact glazing or full shutter systems are typically required. We install PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem impact-rated windows and sliding glass doors that are tested to survive a 2×4 fired at 170 mph, because that’s what the code asks for in this zone. Impact window installation in Fort Myers Beach runs $8,000 to $25,000 for a typical home, more if you’re doing a full glass wall facing the Gulf. We pull the Lee County permit and handle the DEP CCCL paperwork if your parcel sits seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line, which many Estero Island lots do.

Trusted Brands We Service in Fort Myers Beach
We install and service Simonton, PGT, and CGI windows and doors, plus Ply Gem for select openings. These are brands you can look up, with published test data and coast-rated hardware, not mystery units off a van. Because we work on Fort Myers Beach regularly, we know which models pass the local HVHZ review and which ones come back with corrections from the plan examiner. That knowledge saves you weeks of back-and-forth. If you have an existing impact window or door from one of these brands showing a locked track, a failed roller, or a seal breach, call us: we keep common replacement hardware in stock for fast turnaround, and a live person answers the phone day or night.
We’re part of the Windows & Doors team that has served Florida’s Gulf coast for decades. If you’re also thinking about the entry and outdoor spaces around the home, we handle Fence Installation in Fort Myers Beach and Driveway & Pavers in Fort Myers Beach as well, so one call covers more of the rebuild.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Fort Myers Beach Homes
- Salt-corrosion on frames and hardware. On a barrier island, stainless is a bare minimum. We regularly see mainland-grade aluminum frames pitted and seized within five years of Gulf exposure, especially on lower floors closer to the waterline. Coastal-rated finishes and proper sealants are the only real defense.
- Failed impact-glass seals on older post-Ian retrofits. When so many windows got replaced quickly after 2022, some installs were rushed. Fogging between laminated panes, cloudy low-E coatings, and warped tracks from storm pressure are all calls we get regularly on island homes.
- Rough openings rebuilt out of square after elevation work. When a home gets lifted onto pilings and then re-supported, doors and windows that used to close cleanly often bind, rub, or fail to latch. We rebuild and re-shim openings so the new units sit true in the frame.
- Wind-driven rain penetration around improperly flashed openings. A window that looks fine from inside can be letting water into the wall cavity during a strong onshore blow. On Fort Myers Beach, that water turns into hidden rot and mold fast, especially on stucco-over-block and frame construction. We pull the trim and check the flashing before we quote a replacement.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Fort Myers Beach, FL
Window replacement in Fort Myers Beach typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a full home, with impact window installation from $8,000 to $25,000.

Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule a free estimate, and remember the standing offer: no trip charge inside the county, plus $40 off any repair over $200 and a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Fort Myers Beach
We schedule window and door work on Fort Myers Beach within a few business days for most calls, and we answer the phone 24/7 with a live person so you’re never leaving voicemails. For a failed lock, a breached seal, or a door that won’t close after a storm, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll get you on the schedule. There’s no trip charge inside the county.
Yes. We serve both ZIP codes, 33931 and 33932, from the north end near Bowditch Point down through Mid Island and south to the Little Estero Island side. We’re familiar with the different foundation types from one end of the island to the other: older ground-level cottages, lifted homes on pilings, and new elevated construction. Each changes how windows and doors need to be flashed and anchored.
If a window is broken or a door is blown open after a storm, that’s a security and water-intrusion problem, not something to wait on. Call us and we’ll send a crew to board up, tarp, or secure the opening, then follow up with a written repair or replacement estimate. After Hurricane Ian, we learned exactly how long unprotected openings stay vulnerable, and we respond accordingly for Fort Myers Beach customers.
Work on Fort Myers Beach generally runs higher than across the bridge because of the additional code requirements, the salt-corrosion-resistant materials, and the CCCL permit layer that applies to many parcels seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line. A standard window replacement might range $4,500 to $15,000 depending on openings and glass, where the same footprint inland might land a bit lower. The difference pays for hardware and glazing that will actually survive a barrier-island storm cycle. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, and our estimates are free.
Every window and door job we complete carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If anything isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right. The manufacturer’s warranties on Simonton, PGT, CGI, and Ply Gem products apply on top of that, and we’ll give you the paperwork for both when the job is done. We don’t hide warranty terms in fine print; they’re on the contract where you can read them before you sign.
