AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Four Corners
Window and door replacement in Four Corners runs $4,500-$25,000 depending on the project, and the single biggest variable is whether you’re installing standard units or impact-rated windows and doors that meet Fort Bend County’s wind-load requirements. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, owned and operated by Tom Barrett, and we’ve been doing this work since 1998. If you live in the 77083 area, call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll walk you through exactly what your home needs and what it’ll cost.
Four Corners sits in unincorporated Fort Bend County, not the City of Houston. That one jurisdictional fact changes how your window or door job gets permitted, inspected, and signed off. We know the difference because we work here constantly. A crew that assumes Houston’s online permitting system will hit a wall fast, and you’re the one left holding the stop-work order. We don’t make that mistake.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Four Corners’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Tom Barrett puts his name, address, and license number on every quote. Look it up before you sign anything. That’s how we’ve built our reputation in Four Corners over 29 years, and it’s why homeowners here keep calling us back when the next project comes up. We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom and his sons run the crews, and they’re on-site most days.
Every window and door job in Four Corners gets Fort Bend County permits pulled and inspections signed before we call it done. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s exactly why I like him. A written change order hits your hands before any scope change touches the job. And every completed job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back.
Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. Not a voicemail box, not an out-of-state call center. When you call (877) 610-1318 about windows in Four Corners, you get someone who knows the area and can talk through what you’re dealing with.
What Four Corners Homeowners Tell Us
The feedback we hear most from 77083 customers is that they’d been burned before by a company that quoted one price on the phone and showed up with another. Our quotes are line-itemed, the allowances are in writing, and any change order arrives on paper before work proceeds. That’s not a sales pitch. That’s how the job runs. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Four Corners
We handle the full Windows & Doors scope for Four Corners homes, from single-unit replacements to whole-house impact retrofits. Here’s what we do most often in the 77083 area.
Window Installation
New window installation in Four Corners means more than swapping glass. Older homes in the area, especially the 1980s tract builds off Tres Lagunas Drive and around the Brays Bayou tributaries, were rarely flashed or sealed for wind-driven rain. We strip the opening, fix any water damage, install proper flashing, and set the new unit level and square. Fort Bend County inspects the rough-in and the final install, and we schedule both.
Door Installation
Doors in Four Corners fail in a specific way: the Beaumont black clay under the slab swells and shrinks through wet-dry cycles, and the door frames rack. You’ll notice binding at the latch, air leaks at the threshold, or a door that suddenly won’t pass a wind-load test. We install entry doors, patio doors, and interior doors with the frame corrected to the slab’s actual condition, not just shimmed to hide the problem.
Window Replacement
Window replacement in Four Corners typically runs $4,500-$15,000 for a full home, depending on count, size, and whether you choose standard or impact-rated glass. We walk every project with the homeowner, mark which units have seal failures or frame rot, and quote the scope in writing. No allowances that aren’t on paper. That’s how a surprise becomes a date, and we don’t do surprises.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated windows and doors are the single best upgrade for a Four Corners home, and we install more of them here than anywhere else in our service area. These units are tested to withstand wind-borne debris at speeds that would shatter standard glass. The frames are reinforced, the laminated glass holds together even when struck, and Fort Bend County recognizes the rating on your permit and inspection records. That documentation is what your insurance company wants to see.

Trusted Brands We Service in Four Corners
We install Andersen and Marvin windows and doors, and we stand behind them with the 90-Day Done Right Promise. We also service and replace existing units from major manufacturers, so if your current windows came with the house and you don’t know the brand, we can identify it and match or upgrade from there. For Four Corners customers, we keep common replacement parts and hardware for the brands we install, which means fewer return trips and faster turnaround when something needs adjusting.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Four Corners Homes
- Wind-driven rain leaks. Homes built in the 1980s and early 2000s across 77083 rarely had windows flashed for the Gulf Coast’s angled, wind-driven rain. Water gets behind the trim, stains the drywall, and sits in the wall cavity until the frame rots. By the time you see the stain, the opening usually needs full replacement, not a caulk bead.
- Racked door frames from slab movement. Post-tension concrete slabs on Beaumont clay shift with every wet-dry cycle. Doors that bound at the latch or show daylight at the corners are telling you the frame moved. A door replacement that ignores the slab will fail again, and a county inspector will catch it.
- Failed wind-load ratings on older units. Many original windows in Four Corners homes were installed before current wind-load standards applied. They may look fine but won’t pass a current inspection, and they’re the first thing an insurance adjuster questions after a storm.
- Missing or expired flashing tape. The original window and door installations in this area were often short on proper flashing, and what was used breaks down after 20-30 years of Houston heat and humidity. We see openings where the flashing tape has turned to powder. That’s a guaranteed leak source, and it’s why we strip every opening to the framing before setting a new unit.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Four Corners
Yes, it requires a Fort Bend County permit. Four Corners is in unincorporated Fort Bend County, not the City of Houston, so Houston’s online permitting system doesn’t apply here. You must go through Fort Bend County’s separate permitting portal and inspection scheduling system. A contractor who files with Houston will get the job stopped. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll pull the right permit the first time.
New windows in the 77083 ZIP must meet the wind-load ratings specified in Fort Bend County’s adopted building code for our wind zone. Impact-rated units are tested for both wind pressure and wind-borne debris impact, and those are the units that satisfy the county’s current requirements. Standard windows may pass in some interior applications, but for full compliance on exterior openings, impact-rated is the safest route. We’ll spec the exact rating your home needs during the free estimate.
Yes, many insurers in the Four Corners area offer premium discounts for documented impact window and door installation. The key is documentation: you need the Fort Bend County permit, the rough-in inspection sign-off, the final inspection sign-off, and product documentation showing the impact rating. An allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and the same goes for insurance documentation. We hand you a complete file when the job closes.
In Four Corners, a door can look perfectly installed and still fail a Fort Bend County inspection if the frame isn’t square to the slab or the wind-load anchoring isn’t documented. Racked frames from Beaumont clay movement are common here, and inspectors check for it. A cheap install that skips the frame correction or the proper anchors will fail, and you’ll pay for the rework. We correct the frame and document every anchor before we call for inspection.
It can. After the 2017 Hurricane Harvey FEMA map revisions, substantial improvements to homes in flood zones near Brays Bayou tributaries, including parts of Four Corners, can trigger finished-floor elevation requirements. Replacing a patio door is usually a repair, not a substantial improvement, but if it’s part of a larger remodel, the cumulative cost can cross the threshold. We’ll tell you before you commit whether your project falls under those rules, and we’ll pull the permits accordingly. Call (877) 610-1318 for a straight answer.
Call Barrett & Sons for Windows & Doors in Four Corners
Last spring we replaced a full set of aluminum-frame windows in a 1980s tract home off Tres Lagunas Drive after a routine inspection found hidden racked frames from Beaumont clay movement. Our crew pulled Fort Bend County permits, documented the rough-in and final inspection sign-off, and installed impact-rated units that meet current wind-load requirements for the area. The homeowner filed for an insurance premium credit instead of a claim dispute. That’s the standard we work to on every Four Corners job.
If you’re in Four Corners and your windows leak, your doors bind, or you just want a straight answer on what it’ll cost to upgrade, call us. Free estimates, written change orders, permits pulled and inspections signed, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job. Call (877) 610-1318. Tom and the crews answer.
