If you own a home in The Crossings built in the 1980s, you’ve probably discovered that even a small remodel can turn into a code-compliance project.

Barrett & Sons Construction handles Bathroom Remodeling in The Crossings, kitchens, roofs, windows, doors, fences, driveways, and additions throughout the area, and a live person answers our phone when you call (877) 610-1318.

Why The Crossings Homeowners Choose Barrett & Sons Construction
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. When you hire us for a remodel or addition in The Crossings, you’ll see the same faces from the first estimate to the final walkthrough. Tom publishes his name, address, and license number, so you can verify who you’re dealing with before you sign anything. We’ve worked in the neighborhoods around SW 120th Street and throughout the 33186 zip code long enough to know what inspectors here look for and which permit details trip up contractors who normally work north of the county line.
Every job, whether it’s a full kitchen remodel or a paver driveway, includes permits pulled and inspections signed on eligible work. If a price changes, you get it in writing as a change order before we touch anything. That’s not a promise; it’s the way we’ve operated for over 29 years. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, which is exactly why I like having him on the job.
Construction Services We Offer in The Crossings
Kitchen Remodeling
A kitchen remodel in The Crossings means working with 1980s CBS construction and the HVHZ requirements that come with touching exterior walls or windows. We install name-brand cabinetry and countertops you can research yourself, and every allowance appears in writing before we order it. Learn more about our Kitchen Remodeling in The Crossings.
Bathroom Remodeling
Older bathrooms in The Crossings often hide moisture issues behind original tile and drywall. We address the envelope first, so you’re not rebuilding the same wall in three years. Learn more about our Bathroom Remodeling in The Crossings.
Roofing
Almost every roof we replace in The Crossings fails current HVHZ product-approval standards, usually because of original pre-Andrew roof-to-wall connections. We carry GAF and CertainTeed products that meet Miami-Dade’s Notice of Acceptance list, so your roof passes inspection the first time. Learn more about our Roofing in The Crossings.
Windows & Doors
Single-pane aluminum Windows & Doors - The Crossings products from the 1980s won’t survive a serious storm and don’t meet current code for replacements here. We install Andersen and Marvin impact-rated products that carry the required Miami-Dade product approval. A product approved statewide but not on the NOA list will fail inspection here, which locals sometimes learn the hard way when suppliers ship Broward leftovers to a 33186 job site.
Fence Installation
Fence work in The Crossings means dealing with Miami Limestone and a water table that sits close to the surface. We plan post depths and materials for South Florida conditions, not for what works in drier counties. Techo-Bloc and Cambridge products show up regularly on our fence and hardscape jobs here.
Driveway & Pavers
Flat terrain and limestone bedrock make proper base preparation the difference between a paver driveway that lasts 20 years and one that shifts after two summers. We install Belgard and Techo-Bloc pavers with drainage designed for The Crossings’ year-round humidity and heavy afternoon rains.
Home Additions & ADU
Adding square footage in The Crossings means the new structure must match or exceed the wind-resistance rating of your existing home. That includes continuous moisture barriers, impact-rated openings, and HVHZ-approved roof systems. We handle the engineering, permitting, and inspections on every addition, so the final build actually matches the plan you approved.

Why The Crossings’s Climate & Housing Affect Construction
The Crossings sits squarely inside Miami-Dade’s High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and its housing stock is dominated by 1980s-era CBS homes built before Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 code overhaul, a storm that struck devastatingly close to this area. That creates an ongoing retrofit and renovation market where virtually every project, whether roofing, windows, doors, or additions, must meet the strictest residential wind-resistance code in the nation. The same requirement does not apply even a few miles north in Broward County.
South Florida’s flat limestone terrain and extremely high water table also shape how we build here. Any below-grade work, like footings, slabs, or underground utilities, must account for standing water and Miami Limestone bedrock that dulls drill bits quickly and often requires core drilling rather than standard excavation. Add year-round heat and humidity on top of that, and you understand why continuous moisture barriers and impact-rated envelope components aren’t optional upgrades on a The Crossings job. They’re the difference between a structure that lasts and one that grows mold within months. We build for this climate because we live in it.
