Fast, Reliable Windows & Doors Across Wellington
Window and door work in Wellington rarely goes the way the national franchises promise. An older CBS home off South Shore Boulevard needs different prep than a new estate near Palm Beach Polo, and a permit pulled on a main house can drag a detached barn into the same job. That is exactly the kind of work we do every week. Barrett & Sons Construction has been owner-operated since 1998, and our crews know Wellington’s housing stock, its equestrian zoning quirks, and the wind codes that Palm Beach County enforces. Call (877) 610-1318 and you will talk to a live person, not a call center.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Wellington’s Preferred Windows & Doors Company
We are not a franchise dispatching strangers. Tom Barrett’s name, address, and license number are published, and his sons run the crews. Wellington homeowners tell us the same thing over and over: they hired a company that quoted one number on the phone, then handed them a different bill after the inspector left. Our answer is simple. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. You will never see a surprise invoice at the end.
We also understand what Wellington’s permit office actually requires. A window replacement that looks simple can trigger header upgrades, strapping corrections, and a separate plan review if the opening sits within 10 feet of a property line or shares a wall with a detached barn. We write those allowances into the contract before the first nail moves. That is why Wellington homeowners who have been burned once tend to call us for the next job. And our Windows & Doors team backs every completed job with the 90-Day Done Right Promise.
Our Windows & Doors Services in Wellington
Window Installation
New windows in Wellington are not just a cosmetic upgrade. They are the difference between a home that holds up in a 170 mph wind event and one that does not. We install Andersen and Marvin windows, set them into openings that have been inspected for proper strapping and sill pans, and pull the permit on every eligible job. The inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why we like him.

Door Installation
Front doors, side doors, and especially doors on equestrian-zoned properties around Aero Club Drive and Greenbriar Boulevard take real abuse. Sand, hoof debris, and Florida humidity work on hinges and thresholds year-round. We install doors that are built for this climate, with proper flashing and kick-out details so water never finds its way into the slab. On CBS homes, we check the rough opening before we order anything.

Window Replacement
Most Wellington homes were built between the 1980s and early 2000s. Those original windows are now at the end of their service life. We replace them with impact-rated units where the code requires it, and we do not guess at the rough opening. Older CBS construction often has window bucks that were set without through-bolts or embed plates. If your existing opening distorts when the new unit is torqued to spec, we handle that before drywall goes back up. Window replacement in Wellington typically runs $4,500 to $15,000 depending on how many openings and what the existing framing looks like.

Impact Windows & Doors
Impact-rated openings are not optional on most Wellington renovation projects. Post-Andrew and post-2004/2005 code upgrades require 170+ mph design wind ratings, and the county checks. We install hurricane impact windows, impact sliding glass doors, and hurricane shutters and protection systems that meet current code. If your home was built before 2002, a permit for impact openings can trigger a structural upgrade of the header. We write that allowance into the scope so you are not paying it as an overage later.

Trusted Brands We Service in Wellington
We carry Andersen and Marvin windows on most jobs, and we support them with GAF flashing and sealing products where the opening meets the wall. That matters in Wellington because the water table sits 18 to 24 inches below grade, and any gap in the sill flashing pulls moisture straight into the slab. Our crews keep common parts in stock for Wellington customers, so a routine replacement does not turn into a two-week wait for a seal or a bracket. You can look up every brand we install. No mystery materials off a van.
Common Windows & Doors Problems We See in Wellington Homes
- Window bucks set without through-bolts or embed plates. Older CBS homes in Wellington were built fast during the 1980s and 1990s boom. The rough opening distorts when a 170 mph impact unit gets torqued to spec, and that is a problem better found before drywall goes back up.
- Sliding glass doors binding from sand and hoof debris. Equestrian estates generate a lot of grit. If the weep holes on a sliding door track are not cleaned monthly during the dry season, the track corrodes and the door binds. We see this constantly on properties near the showgrounds.
- Failed sill flashing on slab-on-grade homes. Wellington sits on former Everglades flatlands. Water that penetrates a poorly flashed window or door goes straight into the slab and wicks up into the wall. By the time you see the stain, the damage is already done.
- Permit triggers on impact-rated openings. A home built before 2002 that gets impact windows can trigger a full structural upgrade of the header. If the contractor does not write that allowance into the scope of work, you pay it as an overage. We write it in before the inspector shows up.
Pricing for Windows & Doors in Wellington, FL
Here are the ranges we quote on a typical Wellington home. These are honest numbers based on real jobs in the village and the surrounding equestrian communities, not a national average.
| Service | Typical Wellington Range |
|---|---|
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 - $25,000 |
| Window Replacement | $4,500 - $15,000 |
| Impact Sliding Glass Doors | $8,000 - $25,000 |
What moves the number is almost always the condition of the existing rough opening. An older CBS home that needs engineerd strapping, a new sill pan, and a header upgrade will cost more than a clean retrofit. That is exactly why we inspect first and write allowances into the contract. You will see the full scope and the full price before a single nail moves. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we will give you a written line-item quote.

FAQs - Windows & Doors in Wellington
Yes, often. If the barn is within 10 feet of a property line or shares a wall with another structure, Palm Beach County can require a separate plan review for the window work. We check the property’s equestrian zoning and submit the paperwork correctly the first time. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will walk you through what your specific property triggers.
Because the permit likely triggered a code upgrade. Homes built before 2002 that get impact-rated openings can require a full structural upgrade of the header, engineered strapping, or a new sill pan. A good contractor writes those allowances into the contract before the permit is pulled. That is exactly what we do. Call (877) 610-1318 for a quote that already includes what the permit will trigger.
You can, but we usually advise against it. The Winter Equestrian Festival brings clients and guests to Wellington estates, and construction noise, staging, and equipment are the last thing most owners want visible during that window. We front-load major window and door work into the May through November off-season. Talk to us early and we will schedule around your calendar, not ours. Call (877) 610-1318.
It means the contract already assumes the rough opening may need strapping, a sill pan, or a header upgrade, and it prices that work up front. You will not get a surprise invoice after the inspector leaves. An allowance that is not on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 and we will show you exactly how we write it.
Wellington sits on former Everglades flatlands with the water table 18 to 24 inches below grade. Any gap in the sill flashing on a sliding door pulls moisture directly into the slab. We install doors with proper sill pans and kick-out flashing, and we check the existing slab for moisture intrusion before we set the new door. If you have a door that is binding or staining the floor around the track, call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate.
