AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Ojus
Window and door work in Ojus comes down to two things most contractors outside the area don’t fully understand: Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code, and the age of the concrete block homes built here between the 1950s and 1970s. If you’re replacing windows or doors in Ojus, you’re almost certainly dealing with county permits, NOA-approved products, and openings that predate Hurricane Andrew’s code overhaul. That’s the work we do every week. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a straight answer about what your home actually needs, not a sales pitch.
Barrett & Sons Construction has been in business since 1998, and our crews know the unincorporated county territory like the back of their hands. We serve all of Ojus, zip code 33160, from single-family CBS homes near Greynolds Park to garden apartment complexes along West Dixie Highway. When you call, Tom Barrett or one of his sons picks up. Nobody gets routed to a call center.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Ojus’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Homeowners in Ojus have a particular frustration we hear constantly: a contractor quotes one number, then shows up with a change order that doubles it because “the code requires it.” That’s not how we work. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Our customers know exactly what they’re paying before a single nail moves.
We’ve built our reputation in this part of Miami-Dade by pulling permits and passing inspections on every eligible job. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is why I like him. In unincorporated Ojus, that means navigating the county’s centralized Building Department queue, which requires longer inspection lead times than in the smaller incorporated cities nearby. We schedule around that reality from day one, so your project doesn’t stall waiting on paperwork.
Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And every completed job carries our written 90-Day Done Right Promise: one call brings Tom back if something isn’t right.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Ojus
Window Installation
New window installation in Ojus means selecting frames and glass that carry a Miami-Dade County Notice of Acceptance under the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone designation. We install Andersen and Marvin windows, among other premium brands, and we walk you through which product lines meet HVHZ requirements for your specific opening sizes. Most 1950s and 1960s CBS homes in Ojus have original aluminum single-pane windows that fail both impact and energy standards, so replacement usually makes more sense than repair.
Door Installation
Entry doors in Ojus take a beating from salt air, humidity, and hurricane season wind loads. We install impact-rated doors with proper anchoring systems that meet current Miami-Dade code, not the original door frames from the Nixon administration. Whether it’s a front entry, a garage side door, or a utility door, we handle the full scope: removal, framing correction if needed, installation, and county inspection.
Window Replacement
Window replacement in Ojus typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 for a full home, depending on the count and size of openings. Older CBS homes here often have non-standard opening dimensions, which means custom sizing rather than off-the-shelf units. We measure every opening ourselves, order to spec, and schedule the county inspection before we finalize the job.
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact window installation in Ojus runs $8,000 to $25,000 for a full home, and this is the single most valuable upgrade for a homeowner in the 33160 zip code. The unincorporated county designation means every material must carry an NOA number, and the original 1960s built-up roofs and unreinforced openings on many Ojus homes cannot meet current HVHZ standards without retrofitting. We handle the entire scope: product selection, permit application through the county, installation, and final inspection sign-off.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ojus
We don’t install mystery brands off a van. For windows and doors in Ojus, we work with Andersen and Marvin lines that carry the Miami-Dade NOA documentation required for unincorporated county permitting. Our crews keep common hardware, weatherstripping, and replacement parts in stock for faster turnarounds on repair work, so you’re not waiting three weeks for a latch assembly from a distributor in Georgia. If you’re comparing bids, ask the other contractor to show you the NOA number for their product line. If they can’t, that’s your answer.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Ojus Homes
- Failed seals in original aluminum frames. Most 1950s to 1970s CBS homes in Ojus still have their original single-pane aluminum windows. The seals fail, condensation builds between panes, and the frames corrode from decades of humidity and salt air exposure.
- Non-impact openings on pre-Andrew homes. A large share of Ojus housing stock predates the 1992 code overhaul, meaning windows and doors lack impact-rated glass and proper hurricane straps. Renovation work almost always triggers mandatory retrofitting under current Miami-Dade code, and the county inspector will enforce it.
- Corroded door hardware and thresholds. South Florida’s humidity and the area’s low elevation near FEMA Special Flood Hazard Zones accelerate fastener corrosion and threshold rot. We routinely replace rusted hinge screws, failing door sweeps, and sagging frames on older garden-style apartment buildings along West Dixie Highway.
- Water intrusion around window and door openings. Ojus’s intense summer thunderstorms dump inches of rain in an hour, and original caulking and flashing from the 1960s simply cannot keep up. Water stains around interior trim, swollen drywall, and peeling paint are the telltale signs we see most often.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Ojus, FL
Window replacement for a typical Ojus home runs $4,500 to $15,000, and impact window installation for a full home runs $8,000 to $25,000. Door installation ranges from roughly $800 to $3,000 per door depending on whether it’s a standard entry, a sliding patio door, or a custom impact-rated unit. What moves the number in Ojus specifically is the HVHZ compliance layer: NOA-approved products cost more than non-impact alternatives, and the county permit and inspection process adds time and fees that a contractor working in incorporated Aventura or North Miami Beach may not quote. If a bid looks too low, ask whether it includes county permits and NOA documentation. We give honest ranges up front and put every number in writing before work starts. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and ask about our Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate and No Trip Charge Inside the County.

If you’re just across the line in an incorporated municipality, the permitting path changes, but the quality of the work doesn’t.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Ojus
We typically schedule estimates in Ojus within a few business days, and because our crews serve the area regularly, scheduling is straightforward. One call to (877) 610-1318 puts you on the calendar. We don’t charge for estimates, and there’s no trip charge inside Miami-Dade County.
Yes. We serve the entire 33160 zip code, including homes near Greynolds Park, the residential streets off West Dixie Highway, and the garden apartment complexes throughout the unincorporated area. If you’re in Ojus, you’re in our service area.
Because unincorporated Ojus falls under Miami-Dade County’s Building Department and the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, every window and door material must carry an NOA, and every permit runs through the county’s centralized system. A contractor who quotes without those costs baked in will hand you a change order later. Ask the Aventura contractor whether their bid includes county permits and NOA-approved products. If it doesn’t, it’s not a real comparison. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
Not unless we uncover something structural behind the wall that neither of us could see before demolition, and even then, you’ll get a written change order signed by you before any additional work proceeds. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. We don’t do surprises.
Yes, on every eligible job. County permits and inspections are not optional in unincorporated Ojus, and the inspector works for you, not for me. If a contractor tells you permits are optional, that’s your cue to keep looking. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections through the county, and make sure the final sign-off happens before we call the job done.
