Most projects take two to five days once permits clear Miami-Dade County. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written, line-item quote before you sign anything.
We’ve worked on Pinewood homes long enough to know the jalousie windows on a 1950s concrete block house off NW 103rd Street behave nothing like the casements on a newer build near NW 7th Avenue. The permitting path is different here too. Every window and door we install in Pinewood has to carry a Miami-Dade NOA number, and we handle that paperwork from the first site visit to the final inspection. Tom Barrett runs the crews himself, and he lives close enough that a callback on a warranty issue means a truck in your driveway, not a phone tree.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Pinewood’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We’ve been at this since 1998, and Pinewood homeowners call us for the same reason they call the guy they know at the hardware store: we answer the phone, we show up when we say we will, and we put every price change in writing before work moves forward. Here, that matters more than most places.
Pinewood sits entirely inside unincorporated Miami-Dade County. There’s no city hall to pull permits from. Every window and door application goes through Miami-Dade’s Building Department, and every product needs a current Miami-Dade NOA number listed on the permit. Miss that detail and the permit gets kicked back, your timeline slips, and the inspector shows up with a clipboard full of questions. We don’t miss it. That’s not bragging; it’s just what happens when the same owner has been pulling these permits for 29 years.
Our crew members carry the Barrett & Sons name and they’re background-checked and uniformed on every visit. When Tom’s sons are on your job, you know who’s in your house. That matters when you’re paying five figures for windows that have to hold up in a hurricane.

Our Windows & Doors Services in Pinewood
Window Installation
New window installation in Pinewood almost always means impact-rated glass, and for good reason. Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone code applies to every structure here, and any window going into a post-WWII concrete block home has to meet wind-load standards that most of the country never deals with. We install windows that clear that bar and carry the NOA number to prove it.
Door Installation
Front doors, side doors, French doors, whatever the opening calls for. In Pinewood, exterior doors fall under the same HVHZ product-approval system as windows. A big-box door with no Miami-Dade NOA number won’t pass inspection, period. We quote doors that will pass the first time.
Window Replacement
Most Pinewood homes were built between the 1950s and 1970s, and a lot of them still have original jalousie windows. Those things leak air, rattle in wind, and do nothing for security. Replacing them means more than swapping glass. On older CBS homes, we often find undersized headers or tie-beams around the openings, and those have to be reinforced before the county will sign off. We include that structural work in the quote so you don’t find out about it mid-job.
Impact Windows & Doors
This is the bread-and-butter job in Pinewood. Impact windows and doors aren’t just about surviving a storm; they’re about documented compliance. Your insurance company wants to see the permit, the NOA numbers, and the passed inspection. We provide all three. See our full Windows & Doors service page for details on the complete range.

Trusted Brands We Service in Pinewood
We install windows and doors we’d put in our own homes, and we carry premium brands you can look up before you sign. That includes GAF and Schluter product lines where they apply to window and door openings and flashing details. When you call for service in Pinewood, we show up with the right materials the first time. No mystery brands off a van, no “supply chain” excuses. If a product carries a Miami-Dade NOA number, we can install it and stand behind it. If it doesn’t, it shouldn’t be on your house.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Pinewood Homes
- Original jalousie windows on 1950s-1970s CBS homes. These were never built to meet current wind-load standards. They leak conditioned air, let water in during driving rain, and fail any serious storm test. Replacement almost always comes with structural reinforcement at the openings.
- Undersized lintels and tie-beams around window openings. On pre-Andrew construction, the original framing around windows often doesn’t meet today’s load requirements. A county inspector will flag it, and your job stalls until an engineered header goes in.
- Permits denied because the NOA number is missing or expired. Miami-Dade’s product-approval system is updated constantly. A contractor who primarily works municipal jurisdictions like Miami Gardens won’t always know that a Pinewood permit needs the NOA number on the application. We deal with this weekly.
- Water intrusion around poorly flashed doors. South Florida’s summer rain is relentless, and a door installed without proper flashing will rot the rough opening on a concrete block home just as surely as on a wood-frame one. We flash every door opening to Miami-Dade detail standards.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Pinewood, FL
| Service | Typical Pinewood Price Range |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Hurricane Impact Windows | $8,000 - $25,000 |
What moves the price? Opening count, of course, but also what we find behind the stucco. A 1960s CBS home with undersized headers will cost more than a 1980s home with proper framing, because the engineering and reinforcing work is real. That’s not an upsell; it’s what the county requires before the inspector signs off. Your quote will show every one of those line items. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the property and price it properly.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Pinewood
Does Pinewood require a separate city permit for window replacement, or does Miami-Dade County handle it directly?
Miami-Dade County handles it directly. Pinewood is an unincorporated CDP, which means there’s no city building department, no local permit office, and no separate inspection layer. Every window and door permit goes through Miami-Dade’s Building Department, and every product on the application must carry a current NOA number. Call (877) 610-1318 if you want a quote that’s already set up to pass that review.
What is a Miami-Dade NOA number, and why does my window quote need one?
A NOA number is a Notice of Acceptance issued by Miami-Dade County’s product-approval system. It certifies that a specific window or door model has been tested to meet High Velocity Hurricane Zone standards for wind load, impact resistance, and water infiltration. Without a current NOA number on the permit application, Miami-Dade will reject the permit. A cheap quote that leaves this out isn’t cheaper; it’s just incomplete. Call (877) 610-1318 for a quote with real NOA numbers on it.
Will replacing my old jalousie windows trigger a full hurricane-mitigation upgrade on my 1960s CBS home?
Yes, in most cases. Miami-Dade’s code says that when you replace windows on a structure built before the post-Hurricane Andrew overhaul, the new openings have to meet current HVHZ requirements. That often means reinforcing the framing around the openings with engineered headers, not just swapping the window. We include that structural work in our quotes because leaving it out just stalls the final inspection. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll explain exactly what your house needs.
How do documented impact windows affect my insurance premium in Pinewood specifically?
Pinewood sits in a High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and insurers weigh documented mitigation heavily when pricing coverage in the 33167 zip code. A completed impact window installation with a passed Miami-Dade inspection and NOA numbers on file gives your insurer verifiable proof of wind-mitigation. That’s different from a neighbor’s word that the windows are “impact rated.” We provide the permit, the NOA list, and the signed inspection. Call (877) 610-1318 for a proper evaluation and a paper trail your insurer will actually accept.
Can I use a standard aluminum window from a big-box store in Pinewood, or will it fail inspection?
It will fail inspection unless that specific product carries a current Miami-Dade NOA number and meets HVHZ wind-load standards. Most big-box windows don’t, because they’re built for national markets that don’t test for 175-mph wind loads. In Pinewood, an inspector can ask for the NOA number on the spot, and if you don’t have one, the job stops. Don’t let a low sticker price turn into a stalled permit and a failed frame. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll quote windows that pass.
