AfterFast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across The Acreage
Window and door work in The Acreage is not the same as it is ten miles east. The lots are bigger, the water table sits higher, and every opening in your house has to hold up against humidity, airborne salt, and a drainage district that wants its permit before you touch a swale. A replacement window here runs roughly $4,500 to $15,000. A full impact window installation runs $8,000 to $25,000. Those are honest Palm Beach County numbers, not phone estimates that change when the crew shows up.
Barrett & Sons Construction has worked on Windows & Doors throughout western Palm Beach County since 1998. Tom Barrett runs the company, his sons run the crews, and every job gets a written change order before anything changes. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on your Acreage home.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is The Acreage’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
Most window contractors in The Acreage treat the place like any other suburb. They do not know about ITID culvert permits. They do not check slab elevation before ordering a custom impact unit. They do not understand that your lot sits on muck and peat that moves with the wet season. We do.
Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published and verifiable. You can look them up before you sign anything. That is not a small thing in this area, where out-of-town crews have been known to start work without pulling a Palm Beach County permit and then vanish when the inspector shows up. Ask anyone on your street, or look up the license number yourself.
We carry premium brands like PGT, Simonton, and Ply Gem because The Acreage’s climate punishes cheap frames and builder-grade glass. Every job includes permits pulled and inspections signed where eligible. Every completed job is backed by the written 90-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right with one call.
Our Windows & Doors Services in The Acreage
Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated windows and doors are not just for coastal homes. The Acreage sits far enough inland that some homeowners assume they can skip impact glass. They cannot. Palm Beach County’s wind zone extends well past the coast, and the wet/dry cycles here punish non-impact units within a decade. An impact installation on a typical Acreage home runs $8,000 to $25,000 depending on window count and opening sizes. We verify ITID right-of-way permits and slab elevations before ordering any custom impact unit.
Window Replacement
Older Acreage homes, especially the CBS builds from the 1980s and 1990s, often still have single-glazed builder windows. The seals fail in this humidity. Condensation clouds the glass between the panes and cannot be cleaned, only replaced. A full window replacement runs $4,500 to $15,000 in The Acreage. We quote the job with a written line-item scope so you know exactly what you are paying for before a single window is ordered.
Door Installation
Door installation in The Acreage is about more than the slab and hinges. Ground-level splashback on lots with poor drainage, especially near ITID swales, rots exterior door jambs from the bottom up. We replace the rough opening when needed, not just the door. That means checking for ant and termite intrusion at the framing and sealing the threshold properly against moisture wicking up from the slab.
Sliding & Patio Doors
Mill-finish aluminum sliding glass doors fail fast in The Acreage. The airborne salt and high humidity pit the frames within five to seven years, seize the rollers, and require full track replacement. We specify impact-rated sliders with stainless hardware and sealed fasteners. On a 1980s CBS home off 130th Avenue North, our crew replaced a rusted aluminum sliding patio door with an impact-rated 3-panel slider. The existing subfloor had decayed from years of well-water vapor rising through the slab, so we sistered new PT joists, leveled the sill, and shot stainless fasteners into the sealed concrete before setting the door. The homeowner had already paid for two failed contractor fixes because nobody addressed the moisture path first.

Trusted Brands We Service in The Acreage
We install and service windows and doors from PGT, Simonton, and Ply Gem. These are not mystery brands off a van. You can look up the product lines, read the specs, compare the wind ratings. When your Acreage home needs a replacement part, we source from these manufacturers directly, which means faster turnaround than a contractor who orders whatever is cheapest at the supply house. Andersen and Marvin are available for higher-end custom work. We will tell you which brand fits your house and your budget, and why.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in The Acreage Homes
- Failed seals on single-glazed windows: The Acreage’s wet/dry cycles cause the seal between panes to break, leaving permanent condensation fog you cannot wipe off. Replacement is the only fix.
- Pitted and seized aluminum sliding door frames: Airborne salt and humidity corrode mill-finish aluminum within five to seven years. The rollers bind, the track warps, and the door becomes nearly impossible to open.
- Rotted wood sills and door jambs: Poor lot drainage near ITID swales sends splashback against exterior wood, inviting ants and termites into the rough opening. We replace the framing, not just the trim.
- Moisture wicking through concrete slabs: The high water table in The Acreage, sometimes 18 to 24 inches below grade, pushes well-water vapor up through slabs into door thresholds and window sills. Ignoring this path leads to repeated failures.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in The Acreage
Do I need an ITID permit just to replace windows or a sliding glass door in The Acreage?
In most cases, a like-for-like window or door replacement does not require an ITID right-of-way permit. The ITID permit becomes necessary when the work touches or crosses a roadside swale, or when the project changes site drainage or driveway culverts. If your door or window project involves any exterior grading, new openings, or slab elevation changes, we verify the ITID requirement before we order materials. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will check your specific situation during the free estimate.
Why are impact windows sometimes required in The Acreage even though we’re inland from the coast?
Palm Beach County’s wind-borne debris region extends far inland, and the Florida Building Code requires impact-rated glazing or shutters on many homes throughout The Acreage depending on the structure’s design and location. The requirement is tied to wind speed maps, not just proximity to the ocean. Impact windows also hold up better against the wet/dry seasonal cycles and airborne salt that plague non-impact units. We will tell you what code requires and what your budget will bear. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact answer on your house.
Can you install new sliding doors on a concrete slab with the high water table in The Acreage without triggering moisture problems?
Yes, but the moisture path has to be addressed before the door goes in. The water table in parts of The Acreage sits 18 to 24 inches below grade, and well-water vapor rises through slabs into thresholds and sills. We inspect the subfloor, seal the concrete where needed, and use stainless fasteners and proper flashing. Skipping those steps is how you end up paying for the same door twice. Estimates are free; call (877) 610-1318.
What’s the realistic cost difference between standard impact windows and the same-sized non-impact windows on an Acreage home?
Impact windows typically run 30 to 50 percent more than the same-sized non-impact unit. On a whole-house job in The Acreage, that can shift the total from the $4,500 to $8,000 range up to $8,000 to $25,000. The cheaper non-impact unit nearly always costs more within a decade because seals fail and frames corrode in this climate. We quote both options in writing so you can decide with real numbers. Call (877) 610-1318 for a line-item comparison.
Why do I need a change order just to add a new interior door in The Acreage?
Because the allowance that is not on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. A new interior door might be a simple swing, or it might require reframing the rough opening, moving trim, or addressing a slab issue you cannot see until the old door is off. When the scope changes, the price changes, and that change arrives in writing before we buy materials or swing a hammer. It is how Tom has run Barrett & Sons since 1998. Call (877) 610-1318 and you will get the same paper promise.
