Why Delray Beach Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Delray Beach isn’t one market. A kitchen renovation in a 1990s CBS home off Hagen Ranch Road has nothing in common with a bathroom remodel in a mid-century ranch on the barrier island. Homeowners here have seen too many out-of-town crews show up with a laminated binder and a vague estimate, then act surprised when Delray’s actual conditions show up on the job. We don’t work that way. Every scope, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, and we don’t hand surprises to people who live twenty minutes from our crews.
We serve homeowners in Lake Ida, Tropic Isle, the Seagate area, and the western communities around 33446 and 33484. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Ask anyone on your street. We’d rather you check than wonder.
Construction Services We Offer in Delray Beach
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen Remodeling in Delray Beach usually means working inside a concrete block structure built in the 1980s or 1990s, which changes how we handle plumbing relocations, electrical runs, and load-bearing walls. We install premium brands like KraftMaid and Cambria, named materials you can look up rather than mystery stock off a van.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Delray Beach.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom Remodeling in Delray Beach in older CBS homes often reveals water damage behind tile and under slabs, and the water table here sits 18 to 24 inches below grade in many western neighborhoods. We plan for drainage and dewatering before we open a wall, not after the surprise shows up.

Roofing
Florida’s re-roofing rules are pushing thousands of 1980s and 1990s homes toward our Roofing in Delray Beach for full replacements, and Palm Beach County’s post-Hurricane Andrew structural wind codes apply on every one of them. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems and pull permits on every eligible roof.

Windows & Doors
Impact ratings are not optional conversation here. Delray Beach homes, especially west of I-95 in 33446 and 33484, need Windows & Doors - Delray Beach that meet wind-load requirements while still looking right on a Florida house. We carry Simonton and PGT lines because those are names inspectors recognize and homeowners can verify.

Fence Installation
Fence lines in Delray Beach often run parallel to canals or through HOA-controlled communities like Kings Point and Century Village, where material and height rules vary block by block. We pull the right HOA applications and set the posts deeper than the minimum so a summer storm doesn’t do the job twice.
Driveway & Pavers
Paver driveways in Delray Beach sit on sandy soil with a high water table, which means a cheap base fails within two rainy seasons. We use Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers over a properly compacted base designed for South Florida drainage, not a Tennessee formula.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in Delray Beach, especially east of 95, may put you inside or near Florida DEP’s Coastal Construction Control Line, which changes your foundation design, your finished floor elevation, and your timeline. We pre-coordinate with a wind-load engineer before we submit for permits, because redesigning mid-project after structural plan review is a costly loop we’ve watched too many outside contractors get caught in.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Delray Beach
Our crews work throughout Delray Beach, from the barrier island to the western active-adult communities. No dispatch board, no stranger in a rental van. The same Barrett & Sons crew that starts your project is the one that finishes it.
- Lake Ida
- Tropic Isle
- Seagate
- The western communities around 33446 and 33484, including Century Village
- Barrier island neighborhoods in 33483
Typical response time for a Delray Beach estimate is within a few days, depending on the scope. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll schedule a specific time, not a four-hour window.
Why Delray Beach’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Delray Beach is two construction markets wearing one city name. West of I-95, the ZIP codes 33446 and 33484 are full of 1980s and 1990s CBS homes now hitting the age where roofs, windows, and kitchens all need work at once, and Florida’s re-roofing rules are forcing many of those decisions on the insurance company’s clock. East of 95, the barrier island is a different animal entirely. Mid-century masonry ranches on oceanfront lots are being torn down and replaced with 4,000 to 6,000 square foot luxury new-builds that need coastal construction permits, pile or grade-beam foundations, and elevated finished floor elevations. A contractor who treats both sides of the Intracoastal the same way is going to learn an expensive lesson on someone’s dime. We don’t.
The water table in the western ZIPs, sitting 18 to 24 inches below grade in many areas, means any slab-on-grade pour or subsurface utility work in Delray Beach routinely encounters groundwater. Contractors from inland markets consistently underestimate dewatering and drainage costs here. We build those costs into your written scope before we start, not as a change order add-on when the pump comes out.
Pricing for Construction in Delray Beach
Construction pricing in Delray Beach varies by project type, and we’d rather give you an honest range than a flashy number that won’t survive your first structural review. Here’s what we’re seeing for common Delray Beach projects:
- Full kitchen remodel: $45,000-$95,000, depending on cabinet line, layout changes, and whether plumbing moves within a CBS wall.
- Bathroom remodel: $18,000-$45,000 for a typical gut renovation in a 1980s-1990s block home.
- Roof replacement: $14,000-$38,000, driven by pitch, material, and wind-load requirements under Palm Beach County code.
- Impact window retrofit: $18,000-$55,000 for a full CBS home, depending on opening count and frame condition.
- Driveway pavers: $12,000-$35,000 depending on square footage, base depth, and paver line.
Every line-item price arrives in writing before work begins. No allowances that float. No change orders that appear after the fact. Call (877) 610-1318 for a written, fixed-scope estimate on your Delray Beach project.

FAQs About Construction in Delray Beach
Most full kitchen remodels in Delray Beach run $45,000 to $95,000, with the spread driven by cabinet line, structural changes in CBS walls, and whether you’re on the mainland or the barrier island where coastal codes add engineering costs. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote; estimates are free.
Yes, and if you’re east of 95 in the 33483 ZIP, you may also need a coastal construction permit through Florida DEP’s Coastal Construction Control Line, which can add four to eight weeks to your timeline. Barrett & Sons pulls permits and schedules inspections on every eligible job, because the permit inspector works for you, not for me.
Not without a written change order signed by you first. Every scope, every allowance, every price change at Barrett & Sons arrives on paper before a single nail moves. If it isn’t on paper, it isn’t part of the job. That’s been our rule since 1998, and it applies on every Delray Beach project.
A typical tear-off and replacement on a Delray Beach CBS home takes three to seven working days, depending on pitch, tile versus shingle, and whether Palm Beach County’s wind-load review is already complete. We pull the permit and coordinate the structural plan review before your roof is torn off, not during.
Yes, we work throughout the western Delray Beach ZIP codes including Century Village and surrounding communities in 33446 and 33484. We also carry background-checked, uniformed crew members on every visit, because no one should have to wonder who’s walking up their driveway. Call (877) 610-1318 to verify a crew member’s name before they arrive.

What Delray Beach Customers Say
"The bathroom was finished on the day he said at the start, which nobody had led me to believe was possible."
- Loretta Vanterpool"His sons run the crews and they were in our house for four months. Not once did I feel I had to be home to keep an eye on things."
- Camila Fuentes"Beautiful work and honest pricing throughout. The project ran about three weeks past the estimate waiting on the cabinets, which was the supplier rather than him, though the delay was still real."
- Genevieve Ashcombe
