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

Lauderdale Lakes is a fully built-out 1960s and 1970s community. There’s no new construction to hide behind. Every job we do here is a renovation, a retrofit, or a code compliance fix on an aging concrete-block home. That means we know what’s behind the stucco before we cut into it. We know the jalousie windows on the original single-story CBS houses near NW 50th Avenue fail Broward County wind-mitigation inspections every time. We know the two- and three-story apartment complexes along State Route 7 were built before post-Hurricane Andrew impact codes and need roof-to-wall connections, not just glass.

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998 and his sons run crews in Lauderdale Lakes today. This is not a franchise sending strangers in a wrapped van. When you call (877) 610-1318, a live person answers. When Tom says he’ll be at your house on a certain day, he shows up. And every window or door replacement is backed by our written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, one call brings us back, and we make it right.

Our reputation in Lauderdale Lakes is built on written change orders. You get a scope in writing before work starts. If the inspector requires something extra, like reframing a rotted window buck, you get a change order on paper before that work happens. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We don’t do surprises.

Our Windows & Doors Services in Lauderdale Lakes

We handle the full range of Windows & Doors work across Lauderdale Lakes, with the heaviest demand falling on impact-rated retrofits and replacement of original aluminum-frame and jalousie units. Here’s what we do most often.

Window Replacement

Most Lauderdale Lakes homes still have their original single-pane aluminum-frame or jalousie windows. They don’t seal, they don’t block wind-driven rain, and they fail Broward County wind-mitigation inspections every time. We replace them with impact-rated units that meet current Florida Building Code requirements for this wind zone. A typical window replacement in Lauderdale Lakes runs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on window count, size, and what’s hiding behind the old frames.

Impact Windows & Doors

If your Lauderdale Lakes home was built before 1982, your windows and doors almost certainly don’t meet post-Hurricane Andrew wind-load standards. Impact windows and doors aren’t a luxury upgrade here. They’re what the inspector is looking for. We install impact-rated windows and doors from manufacturers like PGT and Simonton, and we handle the full permit process from filing to final inspection sign-off. Impact window installation in Lauderdale Lakes typically runs $8,000 to $25,000, and we’ll give you a written line-item quote before any work begins.

Window Installation

Whether you’re replacing one failed window or every opening in the house, installation in a 1970s CBS home in Lauderdale Lakes requires more than setting a frame in caulk. Rotted pressure-treated bucks, deteriorated stucco, and undersized rough openings are the norm here. We reframe with pressure-treated lumber when needed, flash openings properly, and re-stucco so the finished wall looks like the window was always there.

Door Installation

Front doors, rear doors, French doors, and sliding patio doors on Lauderdale Lakes homes face the same issue as windows: original frames from the 1970s that have been patched, painted, and caulked for fifty years. We install impact-rated entry doors and sliding glass doors, replace rotted jambs, and make sure the finished opening is sealed against the intense summer thunderstorms that hit this part of Broward County.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale Lakes

We install windows and doors from brands you can look up: Simonton, PGT, and CGI. These are impact-rated manufacturers with tested products that satisfy Broward County’s wind-load requirements for the coastal plain where Lauderdale Lakes sits. We don’t push mystery brands off a van. When we quote you a window, we tell you who makes it, what the design pressure rating is, and why it’s spec’d for your specific street and structure. If a part fails, we’re not waiting on some distant distributor. We source locally and stand behind the install with our 90-Day Done Right Promise.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lauderdale Lakes Homes

We’re called to Lauderdale Lakes homes for the same handful of problems over and over. Here’s what we find.

• Rotted jalousie window bucks. The original 1970s jalousie units still scattered across Lauderdale Lakes hide rotted pressure-treated window bucks behind decades of patch stucco. We pulled out a set on a single-story CBS home near NW 50th Avenue, and the permit inspector flagged the rotted bucks immediately. We reframed with pressure-treated lumber, installed impact-rated Simonton windows, and re-stuccoed the openings before the inspector came back for final sign-off.
• Failed wind-mitigation inspections. Original aluminum-frame windows with single-pane glass don’t pass Broward County wind-mitigation review. Homeowners call us after their insurance company or a home inspector flags the windows. Full replacement with impact-rated units is the fix.
• Stucco moisture intrusion around openings. Lauderdale Lakes sits on a flat, low-elevation coastal plain where summer thunderstorms dump rain fast and humidity stays high. Cracked, deteriorated stucco around old window and door openings lets water into the wall cavity. By the time you see the stain inside, the framing behind it has been wet for years. We repair the stucco and replace any rotted framing while the wall is open.
• Sliding glass doors that won’t slide. Original aluminum patio doors on Lauderdale Lakes homes warp, corrode, and bind. The track fills with grit, the rollers fail, and the door becomes a workout to open. We replace them with impact-rated sliding glass doors that actually glide, and we seal the threshold against the heavy rain that comes through this part of Broward County.

Why Salt Air Near Lauderdale Lakes Decides the Materials

Lauderdale Lakes sits a few miles inland from the Atlantic, close enough that salt-laden air reaches the city, especially during onshore wind events and storm season. That salt air is hard on metal. Cheap galvanized fasteners on window frames and door thresholds corrode within a few years here. Powder-coated aluminum window frames that look fine elsewhere pit and chalk. Standard steel door hinges rust and seize.

So we specify materials differently for Lauderdale Lakes homes. We use stainless or hot-dip galvanized fasteners on window and door installations. We choose marine-grade finishes on exposed hardware. We seal all exterior joints with products rated for high-humidity, salt-air exposure, not the cheapest tube at the hardware store.

Here’s the honest price gap. A window replacement job using inland-spec fasteners and standard hardware might save you a few hundred dollars up front. Then you’re replacing corroded fasteners, fighting a door that binds, and chasing water stains within a decade. The coastal-spec version costs more on the first invoice because the materials cost more. But it doesn’t fail in five years. The cheap spec costs more within a decade. Always. If you’ve lived in Lauderdale Lakes long enough, you’ve probably already learned that lesson on a fence post or a patio door.
