AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Pelican Bay
Window and door work in Pelican Bay moves on two clocks: yours and the Pelican Bay Foundation’s. We’ve done enough jobs here to know both, and we plan the schedule around the slower one so you’re not surprised by a denial letter halfway through. A standard window replacement in Pelican Bay runs $4,500-$15,000, and impact-rated projects typically land between $8,000 and $25,000 depending on how many openings and what the ARC requires. Tom Barrett has been running crews in Southwest Florida since 1998, and his sons lead most of the work here now. Call (877) 610-1318 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pelican Bay’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We’re not the biggest name in Pelican Bay, and we’re fine with that. The big outfits don’t know that a 1990s tower off Gulf Shore Boulevard has different fastener requirements than a custom estate back on the inland side. Our crews have replaced corroded aluminum sliding doors in beachfront condos and builder-grade single-hungs in newer single-family homes, and we can look at your building and tell you which category you’re in before you spend a dime. Tom’s name, address, and license number are on every contract and easy to look up. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, not a voicemail box somewhere out of state.
Pelican Bay homeowners tend to ask the same first question: did you get this past the Foundation before? We have. We know the Architectural Review Committee’s submittal calendar, we know which material palettes they’ll rubber-stamp and which get kicked back, and we get informal staff feedback before finalizing drawings. That alone saves a full review cycle. On top of that, every job carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, one call brings Tom back to make it right.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Pelican Bay
Impact Windows & Doors
Pelican Bay’s beachfront parcels sit in FEMA V-zone and AE flood designations, which means impact-rated envelope systems are not optional extras. They’re code, and the Foundation’s Architectural Review Committee enforces specs above and beyond county minimums. We install impact-rated windows and doors that clear both boards. Our impact window installation work in Pelican Bay typically runs $8,000-$25,000 for a full replacement project. If you’re in a mid-rise or high-rise condo, we’ll pull the existing trim and check the lintels and rough opening for salt corrosion before we order a single frame.
Window Replacement
Replacing builder-grade windows in a newer Pelican Bay home is one of the first upgrades owners make, and the most common one we handle. Most original windows here are single-hung aluminum or low-grade vinyl that came with the tract build. The Foundation’s pre-approved material palette excludes most of those frames, so what would pass in Naples Park often gets denied here. We walk you through the approved list before you sign, not after. Plan on $4,500-$15,000 for a typical whole-home window replacement in Pelican Bay, and we’ll give you a written line-item quote before anything is ordered.
Door Installation
Salt air is harder on doors in Pelican Bay than almost anything else. Hinges seize, thresholds pit, and weatherstripping rots out after two or three seasons. We install entry doors, French doors, and oversized custom doors with stainless hardware as the default on any lot west of Tamiami Trail. A new entry door here should outlast the mortgage if it’s specified correctly. We’ll pull the old unit, bring the rough opening up to stainless fasteners, and set the new door square so it seals tight against summer humidity and hurricane season drafts.
Impact Sliding Glass Doors
On a 1990s mid-rise off Gulf Shore Boulevard, our crew replaced corroded aluminum sliding doors with impact-rated units from the Foundation’s approved list. When we pulled the existing trim, we found steel lintels rusted by salt air and brought the rough-in up to stainless fasteners before the county inspection sign-off. That job cleared ARC on the first submittal and added 20 years to the building’s envelope. Impact sliding glass doors in Pelican Bay run $8,000-$25,000 depending on panel width and frame material. We’ll spec the approved finish, file the submittal, and coordinate the Collier County inspection so you’re never chasing paperwork alone.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pelican Bay
We install Andersen, Marvin, and other premium brands across our Windows & Doors work, and we stand behind them with a 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job. The Foundation’s pre-approved material palette favors these names for a reason: they hold up to salt air and the Gulf’s humidity profile better than off-brand units. We stock or order locally, and we’ll give you the exact model numbers so you can look them up yourself before we order. No mystery brands off a van.
If you’re already past windows and looking at hardscape work, we carry Techo-Bloc and Cambridge pavers on the masonry side. We don’t get asked about that as often on Pelican Bay window jobs, but it comes up when owners are planning a full exterior refresh.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Pelican Bay Homes
- Salt-corroded hardware on beachfront towers. Galvanized fasteners seize within two seasons this close to the Gulf. Our crews specify stainless or hot-dipped galvanized on every coastal job, even interior framing near the water. If your condo’s sliding door feels stiff, the hardware is probably rust-welded and needs replacement before the frame itself fails.
- Builder-grade frames that ARC won’t approve. Newer homes in Pelican Bay shipped with single-hung aluminum or low-grade vinyl. When those fail and you go to replace them, the Foundation’s material palette excludes most of them. We tell you that before you order, not after the denial letter arrives.
- Water intrusion from worn flashing and failed seals. Standing water after summer thunderstorms finds its way into poorly flashed rough openings fast. We see it most often on older 1980s and 1990s mid-rises where original flashing has cracked. Replacing the window is only half the fix; the rough-in needs to be bone dry and properly flashed or the new unit will fail the same way.
- Non-impact glass on openings over 20 feet above grade. Some nearby cities allow it. Pelican Bay’s ARC rejects it outright. If a contractor quotes you a lower number by spec’ing non-impact, that’s a red flag. The Foundation will deny the submittal and you’ll lose a full review cycle before Collier County even looks at the permit.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Pelican Bay, FL
We give straight numbers in Pelican Bay because that’s what homeowners here expect before they call. You should know the range before the first site visit, not after.

| Window Replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Impact Sliding Glass Doors | $8,000 - $25,000 |
What moves the number between the low and high end? Opening count, frame material, whether the Foundation’s palette requires a specific finish, and whether we find hidden corrosion in the rough-in once the old unit comes out. We don’t change the price after the fact. Any change to the scope or allowance arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll give you a free, line-item estimate.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Pelican Bay
Yes. Pelican Bay requires Architectural Review Committee approval even for a like-for-like swap if the replacement product is on their pre-approved material list, and the application still goes through their submittal calendar. An identical size does not skip the review. We file the Foundation submittal and the Collier County permit in parallel so neither track stalls the other. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the exact sequence for your building.
Pelican Bay beachfront and near-coast parcels fall under Collier County’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements, which means impact-rated or impact-protected openings. Specifically, any glazed opening in a V-zone or AE flood zone must meet Miami-Dade NOA protocols, and the Foundation’s ARC often requires a stricter finish palette than the county minimum. We spec to meet both boards on the first submittal. If you’re not sure which zone your building sits in, call us and we’ll check.
In most Pelican Bay condos and homes, you’re better off replacing the whole frame. Builder-grade aluminum frames from the 1990s are often corroded at the corners and fasteners, and the Foundation’s material palette generally won’t accept a retrofitted glass pack inside an old frame. We’ll pull the trim and tell you what we find, with photos, before we recommend either path. The fix should add decades, not patch two more seasons.
By using a licensed contractor who pulls permits and files Foundation ARC approval, you protect both the structural warranty on the wall assembly and any remaining builder warranty on the window units themselves. Unpermitted work or altering the rough opening without inspection can void both. We pull permits on every eligible job and leave the inspection signed and documented for your records. Tom’s license number is on every contract if your builder wants to verify.
Pelican Bay sits directly on the Gulf, and the salt-laden air is far more concentrated than inland Naples Park. Add high humidity and summer standing water, and unprotected galvanized hardware fails within two seasons. That’s why we default to stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners on every coastal job here, even for interior framing near the water. If your hardware is seizing or pitting, have a licensed pro look at it before the frame itself turns.
