AfterConstruction Services in Pembroke Park, FL
A construction project in Pembroke Park usually starts with a specific worry: will this older manufactured home or 1960s CBS block house actually pass a Broward County wind inspection when we open the walls? The practical answer is that most of what we do in the 33008 starts exactly there. We start with what’s behind the drywall and above the ceiling, because in this town, that’s where the real problems have lived since long before Hurricane Andrew rewrote the rulebook. When you’re ready to talk through what you’re seeing, call us at (877) 610-1318 and a live person picks up.

Why Pembroke Park Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett puts his name, address, and license number on every contract, and his sons run the crews. That’s a different arrangement than what most Pembroke Park residents tell us they had last time. We hear the same stories around Park Road and Southwest 25th Street: a company quoted one number on the phone, sent strangers in a rental van, then handed over a bill that looked nothing like the estimate. Tom started Barrett & Sons in 1998 to do the opposite. Every scope item, every allowance, every price change arrives as a written change order before work happens. Nothing moves without paper, and the permit inspector is treated as the ally he is. The inspector works for you, not for me. That’s why I like him.
Background-checked crew members show up in Barrett & Sons shirts, and they know this town’s building quirks. We’ve worked in the mobile home communities off Southwest 30th Avenue and the older CBS pockets near Hallandale Drive. Homeowners in those neighborhoods call us because they’ve heard the license number checks out, and because Tom answers calls at odd hours. A live person answers 24/7. No out-of-state call center, no voicemail maze.
Construction Services We Offer in Pembroke Park
Kitchen Remodeling
Most Pembroke Park kitchens we walk into sit inside homes built before granite counters and open floor plans existed, often with electrical panels that need an upgrade before a single cabinet comes out. We carry KraftMaid and Cambria, brands you can research yourself. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in Pembroke Park.
Bathroom Remodeling
Galvanized supply lines and a water table that sits close to the surface make bathroom work in Pembroke Park a job for someone who’s done it here before. We handle the plumbing, the tile, the venting, and the permit. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in Pembroke Park.
Roofing
Roof-to-wall connections on 1960s and 1970s homes rarely meet today’s wind-mitigation standards, and manufactured homes need HUD-code versus Florida Building Code decisions made early. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with engineered attachments that pass Broward County inspection. Learn more about our Roofing in Pembroke Park.
Windows & Doors
Pembroke Park sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so every replacement window and door must be impact-rated. We install PGT and Simonton units, and we handle the product approval paperwork the inspector wants to see. Learn more about windows and doors with Barrett & Sons.
Fence Installation
Winds, a shallow water table, and some very old property lines make fence work here trickier than it looks on a Saturday morning. We set posts for local soil conditions and pull the permit when the job calls for it.
Driveway & Pavers
Flat terrain and a high water table mean improper base prep shows up as cracks within two years. We build with compaction and drainage in mind, using Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers.
Home Additions & ADU
Additions in Pembroke Park trigger current Florida Building Code, which means the existing structure often needs its own upgrades just to earn the permit. We plan for that cost honestly, in writing, before you’re committed.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Pembroke Park
We work throughout the 33008, and a crew is typically in Pembroke Park responding to calls on the same schedule we keep across south Broward. The places we know best:
- Boulevard Heights
- Pembroke Park Lakes
- Park Lake Estates
- The manufactured home communities along Southwest 30th Avenue
- The CBS block pockets near Hallandale Drive
Why Pembroke Park’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
Pembroke Park is a sub-square-mile municipality where a substantial share of the housing stock consists of mobile and manufactured home communities built in the 1960s and 1970s. Those structures predate Broward County’s post-Hurricane Andrew overhaul of wind-load, tie-down, and impact-glazing codes. That’s the defining construction reality here. When a homeowner in Park Lake Estates wants a kitchen remodel, the job often starts with structural retrofits: roof-to-wall ties, impact-rated windows, sometimes a full re-roof. It isn’t optional. The permit triggers it.
Then there’s the water. Most of Pembroke Park sits at roughly 8 to 10 feet elevation with a seasonally high water table. Slab prep, footer depth, and anything below grade needs an understanding of how quickly water shows up once you start digging. Add the fact that every project sits about three miles from the Atlantic in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, and you have a town where roof attachments and impact-rated openings are not upgrades. They’re code. Crews from out of the area routinely miss the HUD-code versus Florida Building Code question on manufactured homes. We don’t get to miss it. The inspector won’t let us.

FAQs About Construction in Pembroke Park
A kitchen remodel in Pembroke Park typically runs $28,000 to $58,000, with the biggest variables being cabinet line, layout changes, and whether the home’s electrical panel needs upgrading to pass inspection. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and we’ll put the real numbers in writing.
Only if you change the scope, and even then you’ll see a written change order before any new work begins. We don’t do surprise invoices. That’s the rule Tom Barrett built this company on in 1998.
Yes, on every eligible job. In Pembroke Park, that’s non-negotiable, because the town’s mix of manufactured homes and older CBS construction means permit and inspection questions come up constantly. The permit inspector works for you, not for us. We make sure the paperwork is right.
Kitchens usually run 6 to 10 weeks, bathrooms 3 to 6 weeks, and full additions 4 to 8 months depending on the retrofit scope. Older manufactured homes and CBS block houses often add time because the underlying structure needs work before finish work can start. We’ll give you a written schedule before you sign.
Yes, and we’re one of the few crews around that handles HUD-code versus Florida Building Code questions as a matter of routine rather than as a surprise. Much of Pembroke Park’s housing stock falls into this category, and we know what the inspectors here will ask for.

What Pembroke Park Customers Say
"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"Full kitchen down to the studs. He found the previous owner had done the wiring himself and it was genuinely dangerous, showed me, and put it right properly rather than boxing it back in."
- Augustus Nwachukwu
