AfterConstruction Services in Norland, FL
Construction in Norland means working with Miami-Dade County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone code, a standard most contractors from outside the county have never had to meet. We know the CBS housing stock here, the flat and low-slope roofs, and the permitting rhythms of an unincorporated community. If you’re planning a remodel, re-roof, or addition in the 33163 zip code, call us at (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you straight what the job involves, what it costs, and what the county will require before a permit gets issued.

Why Norland Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews you’ll see in front of your house. That’s a different arrangement than the national outfits that send a salesperson to your kitchen table and a different crew to your door. Homeowners south of Norwood Elementary and around the stretches off NW 7th Avenue have hired us for one reason above all: the price we quote is the price on the contract, and every change arrives in writing before a single nail moves. Our 90-Day Done Right Promise is printed on every contract, and it means Tom comes back if something isn’t right. We’re licensed, insured, and bonded, and our crew members are background-checked and uniformed on every visit.
Construction Services We Offer in Norland
Kitchen Remodeling
We install kitchens with KraftMaid cabinetry and Cambria quartz, and we handle every county permit and HVHZ compliance detail along the way. The allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date, so we write every allowance and every scope item down before work begins.
Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Norland.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathrooms in Norland’s older CBS homes often hide water damage behind tile and below slab lines where the water table sits just a few feet down. We use Schluter waterproofing systems on every shower, and we pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job.
Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Norland.
Roofing
Roof work in Norland falls under Miami-Dade HVHZ code, which requires a Product Approval number for every component, from the deck attachments to the secondary water barrier. We install GAF roofing systems that meet county wind standards, and we’ve re-roofed enough CBS homes here to know exactly what the inspector will look for.
Learn more about our Roofing in Norland.
Windows & Doors
Many Norland homes still have original jalousie or aluminum-frame windows that won’t meet current impact-resistance requirements. We install Andersen and Marvin impact-rated windows and doors, and we handle the Miami-Dade Product Approval paperwork the county requires for every opening.

Fence Installation
Fence lines in Norland follow county setback rules, not a smaller city hall’s, and we know where the survey pins matter. We install wood, vinyl, and aluminum fencing, and we pull permits where the county requires them.
Learn more about our fence installation in Norland.
Driveway & Pavers
Driveway work here means accounting for a high water table and occasional pooling after afternoon thunderstorms. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers over properly compacted base layers so your driveway drains the way it should.

Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage to a CBS home in unincorporated Miami-Dade means county permits, HVHZ structural anchoring, and inspections that follow county queues. We manage the entire process, from drawings through final inspection.

Why Norland’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Norland sits on low-lying ground in northern Miami-Dade County, and the water table can be just a few feet below grade. That changes how we approach any below-slab work, foundation repair, or drainage improvement here. It also means open structures need continuous moisture protection from June through November, when afternoon thunderstorms roll in without much warning. The housing stock here is dominated by one- and two-story CBS homes built between the late 1950s and early 1980s, many with flat or low-slope roofs and original jalousie windows. Those components were fine when they were installed, but they don’t come close to meeting the HVHZ wind-resistance standards Miami-Dade adopted after Hurricane Andrew. Re-roofing, window replacement, and structural anchoring are not cosmetic upgrades in Norland; they’re the work that keeps a house standing through the next storm.

FAQs About Construction in Norland
Yes, in almost every case. Norland is unincorporated Miami-Dade County, so all construction permits and inspections run through the county’s building department under HVHZ code. We pull permits and get inspections signed on every eligible job, because the permit inspector works for you, not for me. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific project requires.
Kitchen remodels in Norland typically run $28,000 to $55,000 depending on cabinet quality, countertop material, and whether you’re moving plumbing or electrical. The final number depends on your written scope, which we prepare before any work begins. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate and a detailed line-item quote.
Only if you change the scope, and only after you receive a written change order before work proceeds. No surprise invoices at the end, because the allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll explain how our written change order process works.
Yes. We’ve been dealing with the county building department for years, including the separate Miami-Dade Product Approval numbers required for roof and window work under HVHZ rules. County inspection queues can run longer than municipal ones, so we plan schedules accordingly and keep you informed at every step. Call (877) 610-1318 with your questions about permits.
It depends on the scope and the county inspection schedule, which can run longer than you’d see in smaller municipalities. A bathroom remodel might take three to four weeks; a full kitchen or addition can run eight to twelve weeks. We’ll give you a written timeline with your estimate so you know what to expect before you commit. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact schedule based on your project.

What Norland 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."
