AfterConstruction Services in Hialeah, FL
If you own one of Hialeah’s older CBS homes, you’ve probably already discovered that a “simple” remodel rarely stays simple. Opening a wall on a 1960s concrete block house in 33012 or 33013 often means finding unpermitted framing, outdated wiring, or a Florida room that was never on the county’s books. That’s exactly where we come in. Barrett & Sons Construction handles the whole job, including the permit headaches, and a live person answers our phone at (877) 610-1318 whenever you call.

Why Hialeah Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
We’re a family operation, not a franchise. Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run crews today. When you hire us, the name on the truck is the name that shows up. Homeowners around East Hialeah and Palm Springs North have told us the same thing over the years: they got burned by an out-of-town contractor who quoted one price on the phone and handed them a different bill at the door. That doesn’t happen with us because every scope change, every allowance, every material substitution arrives as a written change order before work proceeds. If the allowance isn’t on paper, it’s a surprise waiting for a date.
We pull permits and pass inspections on every eligible job. That matters more in Hialeah than almost anywhere else in South Florida, because the city runs its own building department separate from Miami-Dade County. Our crews know Hialeah’s inspection cadence and re-inspection policies. Ask anyone on your street, or look up Tom Barrett’s license number yourself. He publishes his name, his address, and his credentials, and he’ll tell you the permit inspector works for you, not for him. That’s why he likes him.

Call us at (877) 610-1318 to talk through window and door options for your home.
Fence Installation
Fence lines in Hialeah’s older neighborhoods rarely match the plat map exactly, and a good install starts with a survey check. We handle the whole thing, including Hialeah’s setback rules and any HOA requirements that apply in communities like Country Club Estates.
Call us at (877) 610-1318 for fence estimates in Hialeah.
Driveway & Pavers
Hialeah sits on Miami limestone with a water table that rises close to grade during the wet season, so paver base prep and drainage matter more here than in drier parts of Florida. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc products on properly compacted, properly sloped bases.
Call us at (877) 610-1318 to schedule a paver estimate.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage to a Hialeah home usually triggers a bring-to-code review of the entire existing structure, including footings that were never inspected. We navigate that process as a matter of course, with permits and inspections on every step.
Call us at (877) 610-1318 to discuss your addition or ADU project.

Why Hialeah’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Hialeah’s housing stock is dominated by one-story CBS hip-roof homes built between roughly 1950 and 1975. Those homes went up before Hurricane Andrew forced the 1992 code overhaul, and many of them have unreinforced block cores, weak roof-to-wall connections, original galvanized plumbing, and 100-amp panels that can’t handle a modern kitchen. Add in the Florida rooms and carport enclosures that successive owners bolted on over the decades, and you have a situation where nearly every permitted remodel opens a rabbit hole. That’s not a reason to skip the permit. It’s a reason to hire a contractor who knows Hialeah’s building department and plans for what the inspector will flag before the first wall comes down.
All of Hialeah sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, the most demanding wind-resistance designation in the continental United States. Every impact window, exterior door, and roofing component must carry a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance, and the city verifies those NOA numbers during inspection. On top of that, Hialeah operates its own municipal building department separate from Miami-Dade County, so permit cadence, inspection scheduling, and re-inspection fees all follow city-specific rules. Contractors who mostly work across the county line in Hialeah Gardens or Miami Lakes can get tripped up by that. We don’t, because we’re in Hialeah’s permit office often enough to know the clerks by name.

FAQs About Construction in Hialeah
A kitchen remodel in Hialeah typically costs between $28,000 and $65,000, with the final number driven by cabinet line, countertop material, and how much electrical and plumbing work the older CBS structure requires. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, estimates are free.

A Notice of Acceptance is Miami-Dade’s certification that a specific window, door, or roofing product meets High Velocity Hurricane Zone standards. Hialeah inspectors verify NOA numbers on impact-rated components, and using an uncertified product will fail inspection.

What Hialeah Customers Say
"He pulled every permit and had every inspection signed off. The last contractor we used told us permits were optional and I have been paying for that ever since."
- Redmond Cavanaugh"Genuinely good builders and I would use them again. Site tidiness slipped a bit in the middle stretch and I had to mention it, after which it was spotless every evening."
- Marcus Threadgill"Every change to the price came as a written change order before the work happened, not as a surprise on the final bill. I did not know contractors still did that."
