AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Lauderhill
Window replacement in Lauderhill typically runs $4,500 to $15,000, while impact window installation ranges $8,000 to $25,000, and the single biggest cost driver is whether your Sadkin-era home still has original jalousie windows. Because those louvered windows are prohibited under current Broward County hurricane-impact glazing code, a permitted job often expands to a whole-house upgrade the moment the first permit request hits the building department. If you live in the 33310 zip code, you already know this neighborhood runs on concrete block homes from the 1960s and 70s. Call (877) 610-1318 for an estimate that prices this in from the first visit, not after the wall is open.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lauderhill’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews that show up in Lauderhill. That matters when you’re about to cut into a 55-year-old concrete block wall and you want to know the person on the other end of the phone is the same person who signs the permit. We’ve worked on enough Sadkin-era homes along NW 47th Avenue, near Lauderhill Middle, and off Sunrise Boulevard to know what’s behind the stucco before we open it. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we schedule every window and door job on that assumption. Tom’s name, his address, and his license number are published, and he expects you to look them up. Ask anyone on your street, or call (877) 610-1318 and see who answers.
We’re not a franchise dispatching strangers. Our Windows & Doors team includes Tom’s sons and a background-checked crew that works the same Lauderhill streets you live on. Every change order is in writing before work proceeds, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise is on the contract, not buried in fine print. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Lauderhill
Window Installation
Most Lauderhill homes we see were built with original aluminum-frame single-pane windows that leak air, rattle in wind, and pull heat like a screen door. Window installation here almost always means retrofitting a concrete block opening, not a simple swap. We measure, pull the permit, set the new window to current Florida Building Code wind-load standards, and close out with an inspection sign-off. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the house before you spend a dollar.
Door Installation
Lauderhill’s 1960s and 70s CBS homes often have original hollow-core doors and wood frames that have swelled, sagged, or rotted at the base from the shallow water table. A new exterior door here isn’t a shim-and-hang job. It’s checking the rough-in, flashing it against wind-driven rain, and making sure the sill won’t wick groundwater into the subfloor. We install doors the way the building department wants to see them, because the permit inspector works for you, not for me.
Window Replacement
Replacing one window in a Lauderhill Sadkin-era home often turns into a discussion about every opening in the house. Broward County code doesn’t allow you to put a non-impact window back into an opening that’s already non-compliant. We price the first window, then show you in writing what the rest of the house would cost, including the allowance for hidden framing damage. No surprises at the end. Call (877) 610-1318 for the full picture.
Impact Windows & Doors
Hurricane impact windows in Lauderhill aren’t a luxury. Once a window fails or rots and the permit gets pulled, current code requires impact-rated glazing at that opening. We install Simonton, PGT, and CGI products, all with the Miami-Dade or Florida Building Code approvals the building department looks for. On a 1970s CBS home in the 33310 zip code, our crew opened a wall to replace original aluminum-frame windows and found undersized framing plus failed waterproofing that had been rotting the sill for years. We wrote a change order before touching anything, brought the rough-in up to current wind-load standards, installed hurricane-impact windows, and closed out with an inspection sign-off before the drywall went back on.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderhill

Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll quote the exact window or door model, in writing, before work starts.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Lauderhill Homes
- Jalousie windows that can’t meet code. Lauderhill’s Sadkin-era homes are full of louvered jalousie windows, and Broward County hurricane-impact glazing rules no longer allow them at any permitted opening. Replace one broken louver and the building department usually wants the whole opening, and often the whole house, brought up to standard.
- Rotted sills from wind-driven rain and a shallow water table. Water sits close to grade in Lauderhill, and a 50-year-old concrete block wall wicks it straight into wood sills and door frames. We open the wall, find what’s failed, and write the fix before touching anything else.
- Original aluminum frames leaking air and pulling heat. Single-pane aluminum frames were standard in the 60s and 70s. They rattle, condense, and push your AC bill up every June through October. Impact replacement windows solve the leak and the code problem in one job.
- Hidden framing damage nobody priced. A contractor quotes a flat number, opens the wall, and finds undersized framing. Then work stops while the change order lands. That’s how you get a door opening exposed through a June hurricane watch. Our allowances are in writing from day one.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Lauderhill
Because Lauderhill’s Sadkin-era homes were built before Florida’s post-Hurricane Andrew building codes, and most still have original jalousie or aluminum single-pane windows that no longer meet Broward County hurricane-impact glazing standards. The building department won’t issue a permit to put a non-compliant window back into a non-compliant opening, so the job expands from one window to the whole opening, and often to every opening on the house. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your house will trigger before you file anything.
The water table sits within two to three feet of grade across much of Lauderhill, which means any exterior waterproofing or sill work near the foundation can hit groundwater unexpectedly. A rushed crew gets water in the rough-in, floods the subfloor, and starts a redo. We check conditions before we excavate or flash a door, and we write the waterproofing scope into the estimate so it doesn’t become a surprise change order. Call (877) 610-1318 for an estimate that accounts for this.
That’s almost always a no at the building department. Jalousie windows are prohibited under current hurricane-impact glazing requirements, so any permitted work triggers a replacement conversation for that entire opening and, in many Sadkin-era Lauderhill homes, for every opening in the house. It’s the single biggest hidden scope item we see in this city, and we price it into the first estimate in writing. Call (877) 610-1318 before you spend money on a louver that won’t pass.
It means the building department’s inspector has confirmed the window or door meets current Florida Building Code wind-load and impact standards and closes the permit. We schedule every inspection and we don’t cover the opening until the inspector signs off. For Lauderhill work, that sign-off is also proof the job won’t blow a hole in your house during the next hurricane watch. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll handle the permit and the inspection from start to finish.
We assume the wall has hidden damage before we open it, because most of these Sadkin-era CBS homes have rotted sills, undersized framing, or failed waterproofing behind the stucco. Our allowances are written into the contract from day one. When we find something, we write a change order with the exact price, you approve it in writing, and then we proceed. Nothing gets touched until that paper is signed. That’s the same way we handled a 1970s home off NW 47th Avenue where the sill had been rotting for years behind an old aluminum frame. Call (877) 610-1318 for an estimate that won’t balloon on you mid-job.
