If you own a home in Gladeview, you already know the score: most of these concrete block houses went up between the 1950s and 1970s, long before Hurricane Andrew forced Miami-Dade to rewrite the building code. That means window replacements, roof work, and even a modest kitchen remodel can trigger county-mandated upgrades you didn’t plan for. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, and we’ve been working through those exact scope surprises with homeowners in unincorporated Miami-Dade for decades. Call (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get a real person on the line, not a voicemail box.

Why Gladeview Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and the name still means what it said on day one: his sons run the crews. When work starts on your property in Gladeview, you won’t meet a rotating cast of subcontractors dispatched from an out-of-state office. You’ll meet the same faces every morning until the permit inspector signs off. Our Gladeview customers tell us that’s the difference that matters most after a previous contractor went silent on them.
Homeowners near NW 62nd Street and along NW 22nd Avenue have relied on us for everything from roof tie-down retrofits to full kitchen remodels. They appreciate that every scope change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves. They also appreciate the 90-Day Done Right Promise: if something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. No argument.
You can look up Tom’s license number yourself before you sign anything. You can also ask anyone on your street about us. We’d rather you did both.

Bathroom Remodeling in Gladeview
Old CBS homes in Gladeview hide plumbing surprises behind tile and terrazzo, especially when the cast iron drain lines are original to the house, which is why Bathroom Remodeling - Gladeview projects require careful planning.

Roofing in Gladeview
Flat and low-slope roofs on 1950s-era Gladeview homes rarely meet current HVHZ requirements, so a “simple” roof replacement often includes new strapping and engineered connections. We carry GAF and CertainTeed systems and handle the county inspection from permit to sign-off. If our Roofing in Gladeview services can help before hurricane season, call us now.

Windows & Doors in Gladeview
Those original jalousie and single-pane aluminum Windows & Doors in Gladeview leak conditioned air and fail the impact requirement outright. Andersen and Marvin impact-rated units change how your home handles a storm, and they’re products you can verify before we ever show up for installation. Permits and inspections included on every eligible job.
Call (877) 610-1318 to schedule your free estimate on window replacement in Gladeview.
Fence Installation in Gladeview
Concrete block walls are the old standard here, but wood, vinyl, and aluminum fences are increasingly common in Gladeview yards. We set posts below grade with the wet-season water table in mind, because a fence that shifts in June was never set right in March. Written quotes before any post hole is dug.
Call (877) 610-1318 for fencing options that hold up in Gladeview’s summer storms.
Driveway & Pavers in Gladeview
Driveways in 33147 sit on Miami Limestone and deal with 60-plus inches of rain a year, which means drainage and base prep make or break a paver job. We work with Techo-Bloc and Cambridge Paver products named right on your contract. No mystery materials off a van.
Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate on paver driveways in Gladeview.
Home Additions & ADU in Gladeview
Adding square footage to a Gladeview CBS home means bringing the entire structure into HVHZ compliance, including the existing portion, not just the new room. That sounds expensive until you realize it also means your whole house gets stronger. We pull every permit through Miami-Dade County and schedule third-party inspections as the code requires.
Call (877) 610-1318 to discuss your addition or ADU in Gladeview.

Why Gladeview’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Gladeview sits in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, which means every permit runs through the county building department’s central office, not a city hall counter. That’s a real difference: county permitting timelines run slower, and the county’s enforcement unit actively audits jobsites in unincorporated pockets like Gladeview. A contractor who doesn’t plan for that lead time leaves you waiting with a torn-up kitchen.
Then add the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code. The bulk of Gladeview’s housing stock predates the 1992 code overhaul, so original construction rarely includes hurricane straps, impact glazing, or engineered roof-to-wall connections. When you renovate, the county requires corrections that bring the older structure up to current standard, which means the scope expands. We handle that honestly: allowances in writing, change orders in writing, no surprises at the end. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and that’s why I like him.
The ground underneath Gladeview adds its own deadline. The water table rises sharply during the June-to-October wet season, so any below-grade work on footings, slabs, or drainage has to be sequenced carefully. Salt air from Biscayne Bay accelerates corrosion on embedded steel and any wood framing that isn’t properly ventilated. These aren’t abstract concerns; they’re the difference between a job that lasts and one that fails in five years.

FAQs About Construction in Gladeview
Gladeview is unincorporated, so all permits and inspections go through Miami-Dade County’s building department rather than a local city hall. That adds lead time to any project. The county also enforces the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code, the strictest residential building standard in the country. Call (877) 610-1318 for a straight answer on how this affects your specific project.
A typical Gladeview kitchen remodel runs $28,000 to $65,000, with the final number depending on cabinet line, layout changes, and whether the county requires structural upgrades to bring the older CBS home into HVHZ compliance. We provide line-item written estimates so you see exactly where every dollar goes. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact quote, free.
Only if the scope changes, and only when you approve it in writing first. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date.

There is no surprise invoice at the end, ever.
Yes. On every eligible job, we pull permits through Miami-Dade County and schedule the required inspections. We won’t tell you permits are optional, because in Gladeview, the county actively audits jobsites in unincorporated areas. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we want that inspection passed. Call (877) 610-1318 to talk through what your project requires.
County permitting timelines add one to three weeks to most Gladeview projects before work even begins.
