Windows & Doors in Plantation - Written Price Before Anything Is Ordered

Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Plantation

Window and door work in Plantation moves on two clocks: yours and the architectural review board’s. The second one doesn’t care that your jalousie windows rattle every time a summer storm rolls through off the Everglades. We schedule around both, and we file the submittal for you. That’s the difference between living with plywood over an opening for three weeks and having new impact glass in place before the next named storm. Tom Barrett answers his own phone at (877) 610-1318, and he’ll tell you straight what your 1960s CBS ranch needs to pass inspection.

We’ve been doing this since 1998. Not franchises, not subcontracted crews from three counties over. Barrett & Sons Construction is owner-operated, and the sons of the owner run the crews that work Plantation’s 33388 zip code from Sunrise Boulevard down to the western neighborhoods near the old golf course.

• Most 1960s-1970s CBS ranch homes in Plantation need structural header or tie-beam work before impact windows pass inspection.
• Plantation’s architectural review board requires finish samples, color chips, and site photos. We file that packet and schedule around the review calendar.
• Every price change arrives as a written change order before work starts. No allowances left off paper.

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

Plantation homeowners don’t need another out-of-town crew that treats architectural review like an afterthought. They need a contractor who knows what the review board in this city asks for the first time. Finish samples. Color chips that match the existing stucco palette on 1960s CBS homes. Site photos that show the elevation facing the street. Miss any one of those and your submittal sits in a pile for two or three extra weeks while your openings sit boarded. We file complete packets. We’ve been doing it long enough that the review office knows our paperwork is clean the first pass.

Our customers along Broward Boulevard and in the neighborhoods east of University Drive tell us the same thing: the last crew didn’t mention permits, didn’t mention HOA approval, and didn’t mention structural upgrades until the wall was open. That’s not how Tom works. The permit inspector works for you, not for me - that’s why I like him. Pulling a permit on every eligible job protects the homeowner, and it’s what separates the name-on-the-truck company from the guy with a magnet on the door.

Response time to Plantation matters. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not an answering service in another state. When your sliding glass door fails during a windy afternoon on a street near Plantation Central Park, you reach a person who can get a crew scheduled. We carry impact-rated products from manufacturers you can look up, and we stand behind the install with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. Ask anyone on your street - or look up the license number yourself.

Our Windows & Doors Services in Plantation

We focus on the work Plantation’s older housing stock actually needs. That means retrofit impact work on 1960s and 1970s block homes, not pushing catalog orders on homeowners who need structural honesty first. Our Windows & Doors team handles the full scope, from the first measurement to the final inspection sign-off.

Hurricane Impact Windows

Plantation sits in a wind-borne debris region, and the city’s original CBS ranch homes were built decades before Florida adopted post-Hurricane Andrew building codes. Impact windows aren’t a luxury here. They’re what keeps a flying roof tile from turning your living room into a wind tunnel. On a 1968 ranch off Sunrise Boulevard, our crew pulled permits and found the original headers were undersized for impact-rated openings. We added load-bearing reinforcement, wrote the scope change on paper before rough-in, and the job passed final with no surprises. Allowances for structural remediation were listed upfront. That’s how a Plantation impact window install should work.

Impact Sliding Glass Doors

Most of Plantation’s original sliding patio doors are single-pane aluminum, twisted out of square by forty years of wet-season ground movement. Replacing them with impact-rated sliders isn’t a swap - it’s a structural conversation. The rough opening on a 1960s CBS wall often needs header work and new tie-beam anchors before the county will sign off. We schedule that work so the timeline is clear before the first cut, and we don’t leave an opening exposed while the review clock ticks.

Window Replacement

Jalousie windows were the standard on Plantation’s original ranch homes. They leak air, they leak water in a hard rain, and they don’t meet any modern code for energy or wind resistance. Standard window replacement in Plantation runs $4,500-$15,000 depending on how many openings you’re handling and what shape your existing walls are in. If your home still has original single-wythe block with unfilled cores and no continuous tie beam, the replacement quote needs to include the structural remediation. We write that in the scope from the start.

Door Installation

Entry doors and side doors on Plantation’s CBS homes take a beating: full afternoon sun on west-facing elevations, wind-driven rain during summer squalls, and frames that have shifted with the water table underneath the slab. We replace door systems, not just door slabs. That means jamb work, threshold work, and flashing details that hold up to Broward County’s weather.

Trusted Brands We Service in Plantation

We install and service premium products from brands you can verify: Schluter for waterproofing and trim systems, GAF for roofing integration around window and door openings. When a Plantation homeowner needs a replacement part or a warranty adjustment, our crews handle it without bouncing you to a manufacturer hotline. We keep the relationship local. Tom answers the phone, and his sons are on site most days. That’s the difference between us and a company that quotes one price on the phone and shows up with another.

Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Plantation Homes

• Jalousie window failure in original 1960s openings. These windows were never designed for impact pressure. The aluminum clips corrode, the glass panes loosen, and a strong gust turns the whole assembly into a sieve. Most Plantation homeowners only notice the full extent when we pull the old frame and find the rough opening needs header work.
• Single-wythe block walls without tie beams. Plantation’s original CBS construction used unfilled block cores and no continuous tie beam. When Broward County evaluates wind-load calcs for new impact windows, these walls often fail the numbers before any glass goes in. The fix is structural remediation, and it has to happen before inspection.
• HOA deed restrictions that block work mid-project. Many of Plantation’s planned-community neighborhoods carry active deed restrictions on window style, door color, and even site appearance during construction. We check those approvals before we cut an opening. Skipping that step means the crew sits idle while a committee meets.
• Water intrusion at the base of sliding doors. Plantation’s high water table and flat terrain mean slab moisture is constant. A sliding patio door not flashed correctly will pull moisture into the floor framing and show up as cracked tile or swelling baseboards within two wet seasons.
